>You're trying extremely hard to rationalize your opinion, to the point of comparing piracy to THE ACTUAL HOLOCAUST. You seem to be absolutely and totally unwilling to even consider an opinion contrary to your own, waving it away as "delusion". No I'm saying EVEN something as extreme as the holocaust can be rationalized. Thus even simple stuff like piracy can be too. It's comparatively easier and very possible. If I was doing what you're implying, saying that piracy is comparable to the holocaust I would be doing the opposite of rationalization. What am I going to comfort myself after stealing something and say I did something so atrocious that it's equivalent to the holocaust? It's radically the opposite, such beliefs are more like phobias, if I held such false beliefs I would be LESS likely to pirate. >If you can't understand why everyone is "deluded", maybe you should take a long hard look in the mirror and ask if maybe there's a possibility that you are in the wrong. No. I'm pretty sure I'm not deluded given that my viewpoint isn't rosy or justifying anything. Delusions are usually used for self comfort, there's none of that going on here with me. >Ask yourself what a "deluded" person would do and say to convince themselves and then take a look at what you've written here. A deluded person wouldn't call himself a criminal. But that's exactly what I am. I'm self fish, I'm an ass hole, and I'm a criminal. But I'm also saying most people are like this. They just can't admit it. It's a dog eat dog world.
