Please provide examples from that paper along with observations in support of your statements. If you can support your statements, I will allow you to post the link. Otherwise, I will delete your thread. As is, your topic for discussion appears to serve no other purpose than to perpetuate the destruction of human dignity and spirit. If that is not your intention, then you may want to consider reworking your position so that it reflects that of a learned person.
