(12,283 posts)i get the impression that you don't want to talk about the "exceptionalism" of your view point...why not?
I'm referencing those states, those events, to show you, just how your belief blinds you to see the reality of the environment. If your blind to those obvious events, because you refuse to acknowledge the actual power of the various groups, why do you believe you know what "will happen" with the Palestenians because you 'proved it" if only israel does the "right thing" as per your beliefs? (beliefs which many of the Palestinians disagree with, but you dismiss them because your beliefs are the "real ones", the ones that count, the "exceptional" ones.)
how about a "double dare"?.....do you believe that your beliefs of progressivism/humanism are better than the other beliefs? makes your view exceptional?
seems to me, part of your belief is that you can't admit that you belief is better than the others, while at the same time...you believe it is better than the others...
damn, thats weird
well, you've been double dared to admit it...

which as i think about it....you belief states that your progressive/humanism is the exceptional belief, the best one, yet at the same time you also believe that your belief can't be called exceptional, since you believe that everyone should live as they want to, including what they believe, unless of course it contradicts the progressive/humanism values, in which case its to declared "non acceptable" because its not based on your progressive/humanism belief...which is the exceptional belief, but you can't accept it as the exceptional belief because you belief does not allow for any exceptionalism.....
hows that for a summary? reminds me of a pretzal
