- Anark Istani haha I don't think that that sentiment is 'American' so much as it is 'Americanised' and imported/transported imperialistically to nations and individuals. As for me, I guess I just have apprehensions about disciplining minds, because that has the potential of sapping creativity out of them.

- Jennifer Frances Armstrong So you said something that hurt someone's fragile identity construct? Were they an American too, by any chance???

- Jennifer Frances Armstrong unlike your average Yank who likes to look at his reflection in the toilet water.
- Anark Istani and drink it, too.
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong ...since it's better than getting an education and has a stronger scientific backing.
- Anark Istani science is superstition to them, and faith is scientific. weird.
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong That's how it is. And science is very logical, too, in a way that we don't even know what logic means, but it's enough to know the idea.
