Oh, it do, huh? We don't have to think if we accept IDI? Your theory requires effort, brain exercise?
I'll be generous, Fang, and say that perhaps I overgeneralized. When I say that the intruder theory absolves us from thinking, I meant that it makes the issue very simple, where good is good, and evil is evil. In the intruder theory, it doesn't matter WHY the creep killed JB. He was just a "bad" guy, the human equivalent of a mad dog. He's not "like us." There's something "wrong" with him, in a way in which we are completely "normal." And LIKE a mad dog, he can't be reasoned with. He has to be put down before he hurts anybody else. It allows us to place the "intruder" in the same category as all of society's bogeymen. It's clean, neat, and it doesn't rock the comfort zone.
But that's what RDI does: it rocks the comfort zone to its foundation. And in that sense, my theory DOES require effort. It FORCES us to face our own demons, and to admit just how easily those demons break free. It shows just how easy it would be for any one of us to become killers. That's a path most people are too scared to follow. I think Gregg McCrary said it best, and he'd know: we want to think of child killers as less than human, ugly, easily identifiable monsters like Shakespeare's Richard III. But they're not monsters. They're humans, just like us. That's pretty frightening for most people.
I personally have thought about it,
Have you? You could have fooled me.
Yes, you've made that abundantly clear.
argued why it had no merit,
You'll have to refresh my memory.
and you still parrot that we don't like your theory because we don't like to think.
Unless you can show me unequivocally that what I have just written is false, I mean to KEEP saying it.
Your theory is not only ridiculous, preposterous, without merit, and stupid, it is based firmly on absolutely no, zero, none, nada, zilch evidence at all, whatsoever, in that vein. If you object, show your hand.
I do object, STRONGLY, to both assertions. Where would you like me to start?
If it is the last one you played, you're finished.
I've heard that before.
