Why College Grads Don't Know How to Think"

Long answer at the link. Short answer: Because the public schools and colleges teach them what to feel about things and who is the Opposition.

The level of stealing in this country is unbelievable and unsustainable. Like being pickpocketed without knowing it while sitting at the breakfast table.

Some cave immediately and say, "Oh well, there have always been thieves.", others recoil in horror and try their best to isolate themselves from it in every way yet still seeth of their victimhood. Sometimes I think there are more thieves than not. Everybody stealing their little ray of sunshine and everybody gets a little bit darker. In the end there will be no light at all. When stealing becomes normal honest people are seen as abnormal.

Excellent link Donald Sensing, thanks.

==========================

Short sighted, narrow minded.

The author ignores, or is ignorant of, the effect that sort of behavior will have on YOU, the doer.

When you convert from being a good guy to a bad guy in one area it also effects other areas of your life. If you are the arch enemy at your work can you then suddenly transition back into the good guy when you go home?

Evil people, even just a little, are flawed in their character and I personally believe it is a combination of nature and nurture that causes it, and of course, personal choice.

Desperate circumstances aside, I'd guess such a conversion could soon lead to bad consequences.

You do the right thing because you know it's the right thing to do, not because it's stylish or profitable. Your character, your core values, demand it. See, it ain't about them, it's about you, and how you feel and think about yourself and the world around you.

When the whole planet ignites and incinerates that small patch of ashes laying over there that used to be me will know that it was never evil. Call it religion or whatever you want but to me it is important, maybe the most important thing there is, and when you look around you see that it seems to be rare and ever fleeting. But not here, not in me, and that's what matters.

It seems that there aren't too many differences between modern colleges and mental institutions. The family still pays to get a mentally unbalanced member away from them, although nowadays it seems the institutions are allowing the insane to interact with John Q Public.
