We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Re: Dark Shadows-the best

Reading about facts-and there are facts in the Batman, as I've pointed out, is different than being delighted in watching a parade of nationalism.

Not with another who also 'sees'; collaboration with those who want help.

Your statement is entirely idiotic.

No need to defend it: you see it if you see it, and if you don't you don't.

bruce, not one time did I ever ballyhoo the olympics or nationalism as a positive thing, I can see the nationalism and what it does just as surely as you do.  What you do is think everyone else does not see the patriotism and go an a spiel about it.  It is only self importance that jumps that train.

No, I already said that: I'm not 'separating myself from the pack'.

  I only said this: if you really see it, then you don't watch it. That's all. Don't know if you did or you didn't, don't care.

  But no one can say they saw it, yet they kept watching it.

It is serious for me, but not for me, so I will respond it: I do not care about recycling anything, don't care to 'support' an environment which gets destroyed in the first place by an illusion: I am concerned with dispelling that illusion only, not with helping a little bit here and there, while in the meantime we get sidetracked and lose the core issue, while in the meantime we kill people for an idea!

Yet the mind is untouched by all this, or other things much, much worse than eating popcorn: nothing can affect it.

The mind is not touched by the holes in your brain?  Hah.  The mind is getting clearer by the day, but your brain is becoming duller?  Brilliant, as always.

It's hard to start at kindergarden level, eden. I can't take you by the hand and show you everything, from the beginning. Come back to me when you mature a little bit.

No, recycling bottles doesn't dispell the center, after the first bottle, or after several billions of them. In fact, it is a distraction.

if it was, then you wouldn't have used the term "facts", plural.  So as usual, you are full of contradictory crap, and its the same crap, repeated over and over again.

It is not possible to talk to a frustrated mind, which goes from one label to another, without even blinking, without taking one second to look.

  Be frustrated all you want, be angry all you want, but leave me out of it.

Dear angry, 'facts', the plural, was used by you-but perhaps you're too full of anger and indignation to see it.

Dear machine, scroll back a few posts before that and you will see it is you who first used the term "facts" twice.

Yes, sir, I try to show respect and occasionally I comply with others'requests, but generally speaking, a certain something in this brain pushes 'bruce' forward, rather than backward.

I also recommend 'Hit and run', and especially 'The Obama 2016', where another top psychologist (professor emeritus) shows a superficial understanding of things.

Re: Dark Shadows-the best

You're welcome, and if anyone has some suggestions of movies to watch, please be my guest. They offer material for discussion, because always movies reflect life: mostly the understanding of life of the screenwriters, but also the nuances infiltrated by the actors themselves.
