Reply to comment by Cshooter1026 in Man claims self-defense in Providence landlord homicide by Rogue-Island-Pirate

I’ve noticed that less educated, lower intellect individuals with a minimum of worldly experience tend to be resentful of the notion that they can learn from other places and people who are different from them and do certain things better.

The world is full of such small-minded places, commonly referred to as “underdeveloped.”

I’d like to avoid seeing my state and country continue to backslide towards underdeveloped status when we have potential to be much greater.

Therefore, if another country has a better way to build a car, or a smarter health delivery system, or a better design for transit systems, or a system that has largely eliminated gun violence, I choose to learn from them rather than stew in parochial ignorance.

You should try it!

Sure, how about we start with a license to watch tv, like the UK has? Or, we could require federal registration and licensing of computers, licenses to be able to post and reply to things online, and we could also limit how many posts you can make, all to try and prevent cyber bullying. That would be better way wouldn’t it?

If you can make your argument with some actual statistics, I won’t stop you.

That’s the beauty of critical thinking.

But I warn you, it will require thinking.

Ah yes, I see this is the second time you have slyly insulted my intelligence, without even knowing anything about me which I have not done to you. That is ok though, I’ll go ahead and do it now and say that just shows the kind of person you are. Good banter though, I do enjoy it.

Well, I mean your prior two posts insulted the intelligence of every reader, so…
