I gave you a TU for this. I agree with your point on philosophy entirely a great interest of mine too. In fact I have made it a basis for my whole lifestyle. It has been a quest for 20 years and this will continue the rest of my life.

I do stand up - it got me labeled as having a persecution complex in the politics thread by one guy LOL. I had it modded. Standing up for simple respect and our rights can get you in hot water too for it is not normal - unfortunately.
