Again, our Church runs a Jobs for Life program where we actually work with these people to INCREASE their skill level and help them advance. It's kinda hard to do that if you don't recognize where they are at the moment.
It's SO MUCH easier to sit and attack those people who are actually doing the Lord's Work*.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Pix and MM do this in my discussions with them all the time. It is the primary reason I'm moving towards less interaction on that front. It's a pointless dynamic. It's why I tell Pix she is arguing with a caricature she has created in her own mind. Sparko and Seer do it as well, but not as much as the other two.
CP is just a hopeless case...
