`Conservatives suffer from Oughtism (and, therefore, we do too) |

Always saying someone else "Ought to do" this
or "Ought to do" that

They ought to mind their own business

Yeah I pretty much haven't changed since I was about 14 myself. Maybe gotten smarter, probably even a little more juvenile. But not much difference in 20 years. You do crack me up, nobody types "fuck" like you do, lol.

5. As a friend of mine says, should is shit. |

He also sometimes rails against the not-sees... who are generally the main purveyors of oughtism.
Over the last few years, I've pretty much eliminated speaking the phrases "You/I should...", "you/I ought to...", "You/I have to...", you/I need to..." Directing these phrases at "you" is an attempt to control you; at me is an attempt to portray myself as a victim (and then not do that thing I should/ought/have/need to do). It's manipulative bullshit.
