Lifting things out of context is a fairly obvious tactic when trying to discredit someone.To address your point about me not bringing up equality, I didn't think there was much need. You seem to be continually thinking that I am against various things that I have raised but I do not see why you think this. Look at these things critically and fairly and you'll see that, like everything else, equality is both good and bad. It's good when it raises standards for you... and bad when it lowers standards for you. People today need to engage their critical thinking a lot more and I'm not directing this at you but as a generalisation. Too much of anything can be bad. So for example equality, while largely a good thing, can lead to positive discrimination, which is bad if you are on the receiving end of this. For example, if you didn't get a job because of a need for a company to hire a certain percentage of its employees using some form of arbitary criterial. Politicians might try to implement such a thing to reduce unemployment in the over 50s at the expense of someone who would do the job better. So it depends on how far it goes, equality. In all things balance is key and this is what I would like the take away message to be. Modern life is fairly unbalanced in many ways (greed, self interested politicians, media not interested in the truth, a disinterested and largely ignorant public, a lack of concern for the environment, a love of money...). Old fashioned values like love, truth, honesty, justice and honour are lacking. Now, I hope you understand my position.</blockquote>
