So, this is their weak spot, this is where we attack them. This is where humanity will join together. But as you say, we must be moral and ethical ourselves, otherwise we are just another bunch of hypocrites talking shite. Now, does this mean to say that we turn a blind eye to all the pain and suffering these people have caused? Can we hold the moral high ground whilst we attack them? Can we fight the good fight without sinking down towards the sewer? |

Turning a blind eye? No. Justice should be served. Technically, we don't need to attack them. Yes we highlight their wrong-doings, but we don't judge or condemn them, just their actions. This will help the wider public to see that not only do we talk of a better, peaceful world, but even when confronted with people who have done us immense harm, we are willing to walk our talk. What greater message could we send that we are for real? I don't personally think i'd sink towards the sewer - certainly i'd make mistakes, but I am infected by these ideas. I love them, I am passionate about them, I believe in them, because i've experienced and witnessed the power of them. And I think when others experience that potency then they too will be just as infected.

Loving someone like that doesn't mean they're above being punished for what they do, no different from any criminal.
Metaphor: You can love the divine spark in a lion, but go among a pride of lions and see if they don't tear you to pieces. |

And using the word 'attack' wasn't my greatest moment on the DIF either.. ![]() But I still have an issue with you claiming that Cameron has the best interests of humanity at heart, he doesn't. In fact he would like to see us all as wage, debt slaves in a cashless society, coerced and shackled to the banking criminal elite, forced to eat shit, vaccinated to death etc, etc, etc... Can you at least admit that you got that part wrong? |

The point of seeing him as beautiful is that it makes it infinitely easier to maintain a peaceful, respectful position if we regard him in a positive light. Btw, this is my position for all human beings. It would be very, very hard for me to maintain a peaceful, respectful attitude towards him (and thus stand a better chance of being heard and considered) if I regard him as a lying, murdering scumbag. Basically, my position is that, if we wish to influence people, then we must have their respect and, if possible, friendship. That requires that we see the very best in people, focusing on the good that they do, and over-looking (where reasonable) their wrong-doings. This is wise for all human relationships.

Yes you can see him as beautiful if you like, and it's not without merit IMO.. But that's not what I was asking. Has he really got the best interests of humanity at heart? Btw, to overcome a problem, we have to understand it perfectly.. Right? So if someone is a murderous, lying scumbag, then we need to see and tell it as it is.. Right? But we can do all this without hate in our hearts, right? |

So now you have moved the goal posts, that he hasn't got the best interests of humanity at heart, it's just that you said that to make a point.. So in actual fact, you lied to make a point. But what attitude are you endorsing? One of appeasement? If you tell us that he has the best intentions for humanity, then you should mean it, otherwise figure out a better way to make your point. You talk of being effective. Look at the reaction you've had on here! And the difference between Cameron and a drug addict is that the drug addict is there because they want help, that's a big difference as well. Its easy to love a "sinner" if they are looking for redemption.. Cameron doesn't want your help, he'd fucking drop you in a heartbeat. And you failed to answer my questions.. Do we need to see a problem, to understand a problem perfectly, to then have a chance of overcoming it, or not? Because unless you tell it as it is, that's called appeasement in my book. And that NEVER helped no one, no how, no when. |

Yes, I talk of being effective, but that comes from experience, i.e. having these discussions. I can't just flip a switch and 'be effective'. I've got to learn how to be. And, talking of reactions, sweet Jesus, this is nothing compared to the response i've got elsewhere. Man, this is NOTHING. And, yes, we need to see a problem as well as possible, and understand it as well as possible, if we are to solve it.

I don't doubt your intention Mind. For what its worth, I think they are noble in fact. But by your own words you have a lot to learn. We all do, but I know when to admit when I was wrong. Anyway, you didn't answer the most important question. Do we need to tell "it" as it really is, or do we appease wrongdoers? |

Has anyone actually tried to treat psychopathy?
I thought that they only just recognised it as a "thing" a few years back! |

As for your question. I know you are intelligent enough to know that you've offered up a quite false dichotomy. It's not one or the other. If I don't tell an addict that he is a raping, thieving, lying scumbag it doesn't mean I am appeasing his raping, thieving, lying and scumbaggery... does it? However, nowhere have I said that we shouldn't tell it as it really is. I think i've made this point, but I absolutely believing in exposing injustices wherever they might be, but I also believe that it needs to be done in a productive, helpful manner.

That's not really got anything to do with me or this discussion. And, it seems like a very complex question. But a good one, and deserving of a thread if you wish to start one. I'd definitely contribute to that.
