totally despicable !!! agree 100% > Adults have > more of a chance to think for themselves, whilst children are, well, > the innocent. i knew you were going to say that ... and I thought that before I replied to you .. but given how adults in the US were snowed by an obvious sham going into Iraq .. and given how adults are snowed by religion ... "thinking" adults are clearly vulnerable to the same manipulation maybe "thinking for oneself" in and of itself, is not really a distinguishing factor when it comes to manipulation I wanted to point out that adults, while they're supposed to be capable of thinking and being responsible to their thoughts, maybe we need to think less of an adult's regarded capacity to reason ? that was essentially my point albeit, a bit obscure K > > > So I was wondering what made you say "what about adults?" in reply to > a story about the innocent... ? > > Stefano > > _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
