Well there you go, the guy is already one of the brainwashed lemmings that we talk about on this forum all the time. He would march right off the cliff with the other sheep if told to do so. He is one of those liberal leftists that probably travel the world to support their ideas about how the west oppresses these poor countries and what not. Because the Philippines is more conservative and they had a bad experience from the get-go, they hate it.Winston wrote:That hippie chick was pretty sexy. I wonder who she was sleeping in the tent with. Even though I share a lot of her views, for some reason US hippie chicks never have any sexual chemistry with me, and I'm expected to act like I have no desires for them either. Total oppression and invalidation of my desires.
Btw Mr S, you were right that my Hungarian guests liked India. In fact, they said that it was cleaner than Angeles City was! Imagine that. How can that be, when you and Ladislav said that it's a lot filthier than Angeles City. How polluted a place is is not something subjective. So how can they say the opposite? Strange.
A lot of their views seemed a bit warped though. They also told me that nowhere in the Bible does it say that the unsaved go to hell and did not believe that Christians believed that, and were sure about it. I sure showed them later. How can some people be so wrong yet act so assured about it? It's really weird.
Some people seem like they are in another world. When we debated alternative topics vs. the official version of things, on many issues, all they could do was deny the alternative claims, without giving logical points to refute my points. It got to the point where I could not finish my list of critical points, cause they kept interrupting and wanting to make their points. But they were not able to counter my points except with denials and alternate explanations that did not fit the facts, on many issues.
I prefer debating on forums or by email, since the other person can't interrupt you while you're making your arguments. But when you debate people in person over complicated issues involving many arguments and reasons, it is difficult cause both sides tend to interrupt the other before they've completed making their points. It gets emotionally draining.
The male Hungarian guest even claimed that mainstream science had all the answers, and that if you were properly educated in science by a university, you would not believe in any alternative theories since they are not scientific. He also argued that he did not need to research any alternative subjects cause they were false and science already had all the answers. In spite of this, he believes in God. Go figure.
A true scientist would be always open to other possibilities and exploring possible alternate explanations for things. Obviously universities are indoctrination places, not a place to seek out real truth in anything. Unfortunately the ones in power hope many people just like him will come out of the system and totally believe in government, that our leaders are correct and want the best for us, that our science is working to better our condition without ulterior motives, etc, etc. You can't debate people like this because if they can't get their way, they sabotage you with interruptions, yelling, insults, and other similar tactics. These people are close minded and it's best to just let them think the way they think and just go your separate ways. Avoid them at all costs for the most part.
