    Man, the world has gotten to the point where obvious logical inconsistencies don’t even register as surprising anymore. Somewhere in my brain I still know that they should but I’m so desensitized to them that I can’t even laugh about how absurd they are.

      Hate to break it to you, but the world has always been full of logical inconsistencies and you are just more aware of them as more information has become available.

        I’m well aware of that. That doesn’t change the fact that I was raised to expect them to be dealt with rationally once recognized. Most of us were.

          Being told that anything will be dealt with rationally is actually one of the logical inconsistencies.

            OK Mr. Contrarian. You’re right and I’m wrong. Now that we’ve established that please find something interesting to contribute to the discussion or move on.

              I didn’t spend 7 years on my doctorate in contrarian studies to be called mister!

              My response was supposed to be agreement. Maybe it needed to be phrased differently, but I was agreeing that it was yet another thing that we are told that doesn’t match reality to anyone paying attention.

                lol fair enough. This response was funny either way so all is forgiven. Apologies if I misunderstood your intent.
