Okay so I weakened...

[Xander]

This I want to have a larger audience.

I hate that I've learned about projection.. it's frustrating.. I can't get properly angry any more... I'm stymied by the knowledge that I'm projecting my own fears and weaknesses on to other people and subjects..

I was going to rant about how this rebel hates everyone for complying to stupid rules which then forces me to comply as now they're accepted by the majority and as such are "rules" and considered objective measures. However what I should be ranting about is my own inability to stand against the tide and stick two fingers up to everyone who says otherwise. Rebel without a cause... more like without a backbone...

Anyhow, don't...DO NOT look up projection... It totally ruins ranting and I used to really love that...

OMG... a perfect example

So basically the American scientific community converted the proper spelling of Aluminium to Aluminum because re-educating people was too difficult.

So basically instead of advancing things and actually getting somewhere they decided to take the easy path... I wonder why we seem to be having problems with stupid rules, irrelevant conventions and a total miring of progression...

If you're a Star Trek fan, start weeping... we ain't never getting there...

I have been aware of this tendency in society for many years now.

It drives me INSANE when people call it "duck" tape! And now there's even a BRAND called "Duck"! :steam:

Yeah... stupid people.... it's gaffer tape. Everyone knows that.
