Again that’s NOT what I am saying . In either paragraph .^Yeah - we're all really complex little creatures. I agree with that but that's a long way from saying that decorated hero's are perps that just never got caught. People are not heroic every day either but sometimes they do something that calls for acknowledgement. They are certainly hero's to someone. Probably the person (s) lives they saved.
Still don't understand @Mee - a hero can be an ordinary guy who doesn't belong to any organisation or somebody very highly trained. Why would you want to undermine the really special honours that are given to those people?
Whose arguing that they don't? :cautious:
How can I even begin to understand your reasons if you don't know why you said it yourself?
Honours - general - I did not define Leo, military , or military decoration. Honours - in most general terms.
My words have been Mis interpreted - and this is why language and communication Without prejudice is important.
I do know my reasons . I don’t know the people I don’t know are flawed. The ones I might care to name are inflammatory.
Who is arguing that people don’t deserve human rights? When people say a record makes it justified to treat someone differently. When someone says perps aren’t human.
I think it’s all part of the us versus them problem.
@Ronin - I have been on receipt of accusation and word twisting . I too do not think that helps and I am not doing it. I am stating an .... ethos . A belief of an issue near the root of these problems in equality. The us and them . The good and bad - the they are heroes or saints- or they are abusers, subhuman monsters. I don’t buy into either. FWIW I cannot get patriotism either.
It might not help you and others understand the issues here but it is helping me.
I use the principal of ‘clean language ‘ a lot ( using my own metaphor And comparable experience to understand a situation) . You might not see it as addressing an issue from your perspective- I do not argue that. I am not saying you are wrong and this should help you.
I am about being better myself and understanding wider issues .
My ethos includes no heroes - you can have them all you like! I’m not arguing you shouldn't.
