But as I read this post I couldn&#039;t but realize that all of us are simply guilty of the herd mentality &quot;we&quot; mock, what you know about the so-called &quot;parties&quot; is more than enough to come up with such a narrow-minded conclusion, forgive me for there is no other word to describe it, don&#039;t get me wrong I belong to none of the parties mentioned but I do feel insulted when being reminded that we have always been and will always be intolerant to &quot;the other&quot;, to anyone who stands up for beliefs, causes, or whatever u call it that differ from ours.P.S. I know this is an old post but I&#039;m literally reading each and every post on your blog, I love it.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know this is your blog, your space,so it doesn&#8217;t really matter what I think.

We should really try to ignore it completely and let these pathetic people talk to themselves.  The best medicine is to not pay any attention to those who have bad intentions and don&#039;t offer positive alternatives.  If they only built something for everything they complain about and try boycott.  But they can&#039;t, coz they have nothing to offer.Surely the amount of people with a positive force outweigh these grumpy useless folks.  Surely enlightened minds and spirits can make themselves heard louder than these losers.  Surely the energy of people with progressive intentions is more powerful than those hiding behind shrouds of fear and cowardice.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This crap gets so tiring and is a waste of everyone&#8217;s time, resources, energy and attitude.
