apparently ANYone who upsets american right in some way, end up either as douchebags, or asshats. or some other derogatory adjective. without fail. im not wondering about general american public. they may be too under the influence of mass media to begin with and sheepish, like the public in many countries of the world. but, im wondering why some of the people who use slashdot, which is a place for the i.t. related life and people, are not able to stop for a moment and think 'hey, im thinking that anyone who upsets the established order is an asshat. there is something wrong with this' ? i.t. requires more cognitive power than other fields of life. its mandatory that you have some cause-effect perception and rationalization ability to even work in it. yet, i see some people constantly iterating the same behavior pattern here, over and over, without thinking that they have been conditioned to do so. has cognition no effect on political views ?
