granpa Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) the difference between poo and s*** is that we see the latter as being all-bad. this is an example of all or nothing thinking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_(psychology) A racial slur like n**** is also an example of seeing another person as being all-bad. It is thankfully no longer considered acceptable to use the N word but it is still acceptable to use other similar words like nerd or geek. when a religious person sees some action as a sin they are seeing that action as being all-bad. no thing and no body is all bad or all good.

Phi for All Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Terrorists are all bad, freedom fighters are all good, and often this is just different perspectives on the same group of people. 2
