The complaining and Philosophical Issue Bar

[John Bono]

this discussion, while it may or may not be "letting us explore what we truely believe" as John B said, is getting far off track... this thread was started with the idea of a FIRST wide sticker or patch to show our respect for the DEAD astronauts... DEAD... do you go to a funeral and start arguing in public about whether or not the dead guy deserves respect? NO, you stay quite, and complain over a drink in a bar or at home... this is the same idea... i'm all for the arguement, people have to right to an opinion... but not here, please not here...

Hey, I was already thunkin' bout it before--so why not? First new issue on the chopping block: I have discovered what I beleive to be one of the fundumental flaws in human thinking:
Protecting feelings/the system
This is the basis of censorship which I despise so much. The idea that it is more important to lie and protect that to give truth and let the chips fall where they may. While it's true that I'd lie to save a life, I wouldn't lie in a way that would do more damage than good.
People tend to try to protect the system from "corruption" in thought when, in my humble opinion, said culture, society, etc. was not made robust enough to even so much as entertain the thought of questioning the way things are and should not exist. I'm just saying, maybe we need a little more natural selection of culture.
More thought on this as said thought develops and becomes coherent.
