Narcisstic = Thinks he's better than everybody else.

Not to get in the middle, but it actually refers to a person basing all of his conscious actions on his or her own self-interests in mind. Either that or simply the love of ones body.

I guess I did learn a lot from that psychopath course.

Ironic.

Re: Re: Re: My guess....

Good post. I feel kind of weird actually agreeing with you. But you still are not seeing the complete picture, both groups are responsible for this problem. Since society has accepted the concept that morality is independent of reality, and that the mind creates reality, then whoever is in power, with this mindset, will interpret reality and morality to their wishes. The left does this with restrictions of freedom in lifestyles, such as smoking laws, increasing taxes on the working class, environmental regulations, affirmitive action, etc., while the right does it with expansion of government authority in criminal investigations and judicial actions. Both use the concept of "the good of society" to perpetuate their agenda, which is essentially power and control of thought.

You did good until you threw in euthanasia and abortion, though. Stick to real rights of individuals, not legalities.

Oh, okay, dad. I forgot that morality is a set of universal, essentialist principles that, however much they are perverted from culture to culture and epoch to epoch, can always be articulated in their purity by you and are, as Pirandello said of absurdity, true simply because they ARE.

Meanwhile, back to the state's means of self-legitimating the imposition of morality....there's this from a piece in today's NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/06/national/06GENE.html) We used to fear the military/industrial complex. Now we have the military/religious complex. Wait a minute! That sounds like them Isalamasatanic A-rab states:
__________

The Army major general who commands Fort Bragg's training center for special operations forces has invited a group of predominantly Southern Baptist pastors to the base this month to participate in a military-themed motivational program for Christian evangelists.

The unusual collaboration is the result of a friendship between Maj. Gen. William G. Boykin, commanding general of the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg, and the Rev. Bobby H. Welch, a Southern Baptist minister in Daytona Beach, Fla., who has started an evangelistic campaign called FAITH Force Multipliers.

Hundreds of ministers received an invitation last month from Mr. Welch saying that participants would observe weapons demonstrations, sleep overnight on the base and "go with General Boykin and Green Beret instructors to places where no civilians and few soldiers ever go!"

But the marriage of military and ministry offended one Baptist pastor invited to attend. That minister, who said he did not want to be identified for fear of his colleagues' ire, informed Americans United for Separation of Church and State, an advocacy group in Washington.

[...] Reached at his church in Florida, Mr. Welch, the minister who runs the FAITH Force program, said he was a Vietnam veteran, who trained at Fort Bragg and sought to apply military principles to evangelism.

At first, he spoke openly about the coming session at Fort Bragg. Then he asked not to have it made public because "I'll get in trouble."

"I don't want to do anything that sounds as if we're connected to the military," he said. "That would be an error." He said the Fort Bragg event, which had drawn applications from 50 to 70 ministers, was no different from one he conducted at a race track in Daytona Beach.

He also volunteered that a previous FAITH Force session of 70 pastors was held at Fort Bragg last year, at General Boykin's invitation.

Pastor Welch has spoken at graduations at the special operations school the general commands, Major Kolb said. And General Boykin gave a speech in the pastor's church in Florida in April last year.

"Bin Laden is not the enemy," General Boykin told the packed sanctuary, according to an account on the church's Web site. "No mortal is the enemy. It's the enemy you can't see. It's a war against the forces of darkness. The battle won't be won with guns. It will be won on our knees."

You have to stop trying to post big words if you don't understand their meaning.

Actually spelled narcissism .And your definition of the word isn't quite accurate either.

Its the only interpretation of the definition which makes sense..........in relation to Kayne's use of the word.

If I were to use The Almighty's definition...that all my actions on EF are made in my own self-interest, then Kayne would need to seriously think about a labotomy ASAP.

Posting information FREELY and VOLUNTARILY for others = My own self-interest

LOL

Thats damn funny.

We are on a FITNESS site. My knowledge vastly super-seeds yours in fitness....so I'm therefore BETTER than you in regards to fitness knowledge.

End of story.

Until you put in the necessary time researching and reading over data....you will just be another chat board moron to me.

I still find it funny you cannot let this trivial issue go. Talk about insecurity.

If you really want to know why that number is so high take a look at the breakdown wrt race. Then take a look at the breakdown of judges, officials and politicians wrt race. Fonz no disrespect intended but education is not even in my top ten for respecting a person. It has to be more than that, bro. The fact of it is that many of the individuals in prison never had a chance outside because they were born into poverty. White collars are very educated people, obviously the most educated of our society, however, they, IMO, are the most corrupt by far.

Oops, I didn't realize this thread got off in a different direction. Anyway, my post is wrt the original one.
