Ok, so our opinions of the way we think people are using adjectives
are not accusations. I would ask the moderators to take note of this,
just in case I have my own "opinions" that contain adjectives like
yours do. We may both be kicked out in that case.

Except if they take exception to your conclusion that they are needy
and insecure in the first place? I consider your proclamation of
anyone being "needy and insecure" as an insult, based on the fact that
you made such a judgement (opinon? judgement?) without knowing
anything more than a passing phrase on a Tv show.

We are not going to get along all that well, at least based on our
shared "opinions" so far, I can see that. But you "might" be happy to
know that I will not resort to calling you any names like "needy and
insecure" so I suppose we can interact and have "meaningful"
discussions in relative harmony.

Taught? So you "learned" this did you? You make it sound like those
ideas are incapable of rejection by the thinking person. Are you
concerned about the non-thinkers then? I would offer my opinion that
there is little hope for them.

"We"? You mean the media presentaions I hope. And it is way more
than 15 minutes. That needs desperate updating. Take any media "case"
you choose, and I will show you more than 15 minutes.

Perhaps, but I don't think you are taking the right approach to the
problem. Blame is not something I like to dwell on too much.
I want to try to avoid blame in problem solving myself.
