I voted "Other". After all, there are some acts of unprecedented malice which cannot be explained by anything but a deep-seated desire to see all of humanity descend into rabid and cannibalistic kill-or-be-killed genocidal total war. Such as switching the regular coffee beans with decaf without telling anyone...
If mentioning the 'D-word' is not a bannable offense, it should be!Ah yes, the waste product from making my caffeine pills. The best thing about caffeine pills is that there's no nasty hot, bitter beverage involved.

Everyone thinks there a freethinker and thinks everyone else is a conformist.
Of coarse this mental paradigm is post 1960's cultural revolution.
Pre 60's everyone thought they were conformists to traditional values and everyone else was a deviant.
Actually, Freethinking was considered such a threat by conformist/conservative ancient Greeks that Socrates was sentenced to death for "corrupting the minds of the youth" with is free-thought philosophy.Everyone thinks there a freethinker and thinks everyone else is a conformist.

Freethinking did not originate in the 1960s.
I was speaking of recent history,to many on WP the boomers are the old people.
The generations of my parents and grandparents have been long forgotten.
That is the issue I was pointing out.
Your absolutely right,most of the religious and philosophical beliefs that were considered traditional at one time were radical.
But that's not point I was making.
I get what you mean. In the Fifties conformity was prized for the sake of conformity. Today even conformists have to promote conformity by making it sound like its...rebelling against conformity.

Yes you understand my point,it was a different world.
My grandfather was in argument with my mother because my grandfather would not mourn the dropping of the bomb.
He hated the Japanese because his buddy stepped on a landmine in the philippines in WW2.
They got into another tiff because Mohammed Ali wouldn't fight in Vietnam and grampa didn't like Ali for not going to fight Vietnam,my mother liked Mohamed Ali.They didn't speak for two weeks over this.
It was a different world then.
