Is Political Correctness Leading To The Demise of Reason? (Page 4) anym: Aura, you said "there is some research that suggest that changing a belief of a person will change a person's concept of self.(I can look for links tomorrow if anyone cares to read about that ....) I'm interested in this so do please provide the link if you have it. I think there's room for a whole thread about this: How we come by our beliefs and the reasons we hold on to them.  Trance 2014: REPLY TO AURA: late returned found your comment reply to reply fist ,,,yes i have a very good idea how poverty works iv been living in it all my life and yes i did have to bring food home to my family and in today's time,,it is much easier to divorce a man who makes little money go on mothers allowance,and have the male pay for child support for 18 years or more than to live a life with less.the taste of more is addictive in humans but again i did not turn to crime,become a gang member,or mafia associate to support my family,,which many do,,and are looked up to as heroes for fancy car and house,,in there life style how many watched the crime family show on a regular basis and never said anything about committing crime for income even tho you knew it was wrong to do,,you still were fascinated to tune into the next episode(YOU WILL SAY NOT ME) but thousands did,,watching and absorbing crime as a lifestyle never complaining,,even having fun speaking of the actions of anger like it was some amazing food to fill your time,,when speaking to friends??? did they turn the TV channel or turn it off? nope couldn't get enough and now the result is more violent shows on the networks Gotham etc,....cause no one complained just turned there heads and let others just eat it up if you notice in any zoo or location when creatures,,yes humans are creatures you will notice it is forbidden to feed the animals,,there is reasons a few reasons are the animal will begin to depend on you and may expect food on a regular basis, and your food may contain unhealthy contents in it may even cause the animal to become aggressive and take food from you by force ever seen a dog jump up and snatch food,,even when its bowl is full of food it does this because it has tasted a better life,,and then insists it must have more even if it takes without you seeing or in front of you,,it shows its will to want more than the food you provided,,because it has tasted more if you read about how much grain was given to poor countries that the rebels seized and burnt,,even threatening the locals with harm if they accepted free food it was said the food was not good,,like leftover moldy grain if we begin to feed most any animal (a chipmunk) they will become reliant on our gift,,so as to lose there will to hunt or seek food for themselves white people have removed the ability for natives to hunt in north america and now first nations rely much on payments and hand out support for survival what was done was remove the ability to be self sufficient by believing they were solving a hunger problem but in reality it was there intention to break up the family and lifestyle of surviving on there own many people who did not have housing,,get a new home and a check to survive does the amount of less poverty mean there is less crime now? does crime stop because they have a new home and money to eat? no,,if anything the taste of having more toys and a greater lifestyle actually cause SOME to seek more,,regardless how it is obtained does a gambler stop when winning? not usually, they keep on betting until there is nothing left does a person addicted to drugs stop after the first high not likely,,they keep going until there is no money or drugs left to use this is a part of humanity,,and feeding year after year does not solve the problem what solves the problem is teaching them how to provide food,water,heat for themselves give a man food once,,you feed him just once teach a man to get food he eats a lifetime and secondly,, you obviously have the belief that jobs are what humans need the economy works this way to provide income to the top the workers are the slaves,,that make the employers rich look closer and you will find that a revolving mentality around getting a job is quite different than being self sufficient as i stated before thousands of people and many cultures survived without JOBS or an ECONOMY,,and lived quite well,,with almost no crime in the community so the belief that a job,,solves the crime problems by providing money is incorrect the main reason those who are working are not committing crime is because they are too busy working to have to much time on there hands and find ways of becoming shit disturbers, not because of income a criminal making thousands of dollars per year does not stop because they have enough money,,they continue until someone stops them,they are arrested or lose the ability to continue so your thought that crime is justified by poverty is incorrect thousands can live on a bowl of rice per day and not be criminals and be happy with the family and life and do not have a JOB from any,,but are self sufficient in growing,raising there own food supply needs (Edited by Trance 2014)   grayghost19: its not practical to change your beliief its wouldnt support friends because tthey would ask why you changed and they may change there minds on your person beliefs you should never change you could try but it wouldnt be you lori 100 this is my answer | Philosophy Chat Room 22 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
