[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lucy Lastic: [QB] LUCY: some pissed off "me-first" lady at the bank is a likely candidate for physical assault? that's absurd. but the real topic in my post worth commenting on, is the racism. especially in terms of what you are teaching your children. THINKMONEY: Even those 4 girls who didnt walk away were killed due to injustice. LUCY: killed?!!! how's your reading comprehension, thinkmoney? according to steiner's post, they were [b]scratched and bruised[/b]. one had a broken nose, and one had a head injury (but was not in critical condition.) fairly typical results of a teenaged fight. in light of these facts, it's interesting to me that steiner called it a 'HORRENDOUS ATTACK." compared to other hate crimes, (gay guys beaten to death for ex,) the results of this fight were minor. what's most interesting, is that you, in scanning his post, somehow internalized the girls' "death" as a result.. we see what we want to see, have our conclusions about life already made and simply fit new evidence in to back them up. when the evidence doesn't fit, we alter or ignore it. our need to see and hear new data pales by comparison to our need to maintain the status quo of our long-since made-up (and closed) minds. we are not hungry for truth. we are hungry for justification. our minds are sealed shut, tragically...the seams corroded over, threads stripped. . . (hangs head and weeps, silently.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
