The "love it or leave it" bit is a particular sticking point for me.

It has to be one of the worst stickers i constantly see on peoples cars. Do people really think what that term means or does it just sound good and makes them feel warm and fuzzy about not being a minority?

To me that term is the complete opposite of what this countries values are based upon. It more or less ( to me) says " the aristocrocy has spoken, fall into line ."

That term is usually followed up by people saying " my family have fought and died for our country and its traditions." ORLY so democratic values are not something this country was founded on ?

Sorry got off topic
Ppl who slap the label of truth on the 1st thing they hear, do it out of ignorance, convenience or cant be bothered picking through a thin layer of falsehood to find the real truth, or possibly even another lie

Ive been learning alot about attatchment theory recently and how it carries over into adult life. What this amazing person experienced is so far beyond that.
