The Motives of Activists

[Diana]

There really isn't any point in me trying to discuss the broader issues of this problem, if the broader issues do not matter to anyone else but me.

LOL! We spent over 3 years and 411,338 posts delving deeply into "broader issues."

I seem to be a thorn in the side of beloved bias here.

No, not at all. You are entitled to your opinions, just as everyone else is. We were just puzzled as to why you seem fixated on pointing out violent extremism when none of us are violent extremists.

It's kinda like all of us are gathered together discussing ways we can get to the root issues that can promote world peace, and you keep saying "but there are terrorists!" Well yes of course there are terrorists. And the best way to eliminate terrorists is for the rest of us to do what we can to address the underlying problems. The terrorists have their own karma and we can't control them. But we can do our part to address the underlying issues that spawn violence in the first place.

Well said, Monica.

I'm not sure why those here who have compassion for the animal kingdom have repeatedly been perceived as (and accused of being) extremists. :-/
