Why do you need that, or why do you need to carry that, both of which are only said because I have had to take the knife out to cut something which should be VERY OBVIOUS by this point to all within the immediate vicinity of me. Most of the time it is to cut something for them, the problem is people don't think especially for themselves anymore. Instead they just react most of the time its an emotional knee jerk reaction that goes with whatever the pop culture or internet view point is concerning the topic of the reaction. Once I point out that I carry it to cut stuff and that I'm using it to cut something for them, they kinda of have that light bulb moment of, Oh yeah. Then they kind of feel awkward you can see it by the look on their face.
After reading all 8 pages of this, ya'll should realize and also should know by now that educated professional people can be and for the most part are ignorant. Educated has nothing to do with ignorance and bigotry these days although it should. The days where education instilled some level of common sense through logic, rational though, analysis and the holy grail of critical thinking have ended and are nothing more than a rapidly fading haze in the rear view of United States history my friends. Sucks, but that is just the way it is. In fact I find that the educated among us are the ones teaching things like rely on others and not your self and knives are to be viewed as weapons not tools.
Funny thing is, do they eat with a fork and a weapon, and do they only use their knives to stab people? No they eat with a fork and a knife, and no chances are they use a knife everyday in the kitchen and around the house or at least several days a week throughout their entire life and never, not even once remotely thought about stabbing someone with it or actually doing so. Yet it is still a weapon and if someone has it outside of their home then they obviously must have intent, no make that intent with malice to use it as such, mainly against them.
Wish I could say its not so, but were in a rapid state of decline where common sense, logic and rational thought have gone by the wayside. The children are not being taught how to think, problem solve, deductive reasoning or self reliance but rather submission and how to be a good citizen of the world with focus on the community and the overall collective. You don't have to know what to do, your media personality, internet and authorities will tell you how to think, act and what your should and should not do. After all they know what is best for you. Ignorance is a VERY EXPENSIVE commodity, the price of which we really can no longer afford. Again, its people simply not thinking but merely having an emotional knee jerk reaction. This is happening to our society through conditioning by the media and government.
