    no, and real thinkers understand that one mans utopia is another man's hell, and that such things are nonsensical fantasy

    Liberalism utopia: Socialist Gov't can cure all what ails us, it is a foundational belief in the liberal religion. Straight from Marx himself.

  2. critical thinking is simply the ability to reason your way through problems. asking questions and finding answers. you see this as a bad thing?


    "Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of
    spiritual things, but -- more frequently than not -- struggles against the
    divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God."
    father of modern Protestant christianity, Martin Luther

  3. it is the journey. not the destination. you should always be striving to better yourself and your lot in life.
    those who coast through this life thinking that there is some reward in the next life are the one who are wasting their life.

    No, you got that wrong... as many a "slightly rotund" Americans would posit, the correct expression is "the waist is a terrible thing to mind!" :)

  5. What a bunch of BULLSHIT. Liberals expressly do not believe that, anytime some one improves their lot in life there's a liberal there waiting to steal, penalize, browbeat, castigate , demonize the offender of equality of outcome.

  7. No, that is the normal definition, and it is an implicit factor in the education process. Why would you need a separate program?

    When these education bureaucrats use it, however, they are talking about something completely different that is used to try to bully and intimidate kids into rejecting values inculcated into them by parents, churches, etc. It is simply a cover for liberal indoctrination under the guise of education.

  8. It's not that I deplore critical thinking, it's just the quality of your critical thinking is so absurd and your philosophy fetid.

    Oh I see, this is where the libs bury critical thinking items like "how to not listen to your parents", "how to get pregnant at 14, do it 11 more times and collect welfare for life", and the crown jewel of this bizarre thinking "how to prove to yourself that you are nothing but an animal bent of gorging yourself with food and drink, and live a desperate, isolated life until you kill yourself." :(

  10. Honestly I wish I could send the bill directly to you personally, because you deserve it.
