City Slicker (CS), vs Country Mouse (CM)

CM to CS: ‘Lookie here, I got me a new Axe, an’t she purdy.
      balanced just right, finest steel, the wood is perfect.'

SC to CM: ‘Wake up, be educated, join the 21 century.
     You don’t need a Axe,  just turn up the thermostat’

SC to CM:  ‘ Look at this newest, i-phone, I can play games on it,
     I can look at the internet, I can even know the weather outside’

CM to SC: ‘Why don’t you just,
      look at the sky,  to tell the Weather.

Who is Correct ?

Both are, right, and both are, wrong.

The City Slicker needs to know, how valuable a Axe is.
And the Country mouse needs to know how valuable a thermostat is.

       Their lies the problem.
If you don’t know a Axe,  You are a Stupid.
If you don’t know a Thermostat, you are a  Moron.

Not everyone has a thermostat.
They have another kind of heat.
Millions of people live where there is no place to harvest wood.
Calling either right or wrong, or stupid, is impossible.
Both are ignorant of some things the other takes for granted.

How would it better their lives to know what the other knows?
If I live in the boonies and cut my firewood, why do I need to understand how a thermostat works?

Now, if someone lives in a communist country and has no knowledge that anyone lives differently, for them to be exposed to a capitalist society that has personal freedom instead of being a slave to a dehumanizing system would be worthwhile.

Keep beating a dead horse, to what benefit?
The horse no longer feels the leather.
It lacks any capacity to pull the plow in your mind....
Yet, something lacks in our lives that we think we can find, or restore, by beating it.

This message board examples that energy perfectly.......

Lets use the oft repeated excuse of justification, those who do not know of the past, are doomed to repeat it.

Really, perhaps, but that would take living in the present, in order to pull that off.
Kinda hard when you dragging yesterday, into today  

 At what point did anyone say "MUST" do prior to the previous post?

 Nothing about the original post, or the replies from what I can tell indicate that one or the other is to force a method.

 Are we now asking to modify the perception-based question of "whos correct" into another "Who should be forced to use X method?" because those are two totally different questions.

 Who said the other was wrong?

 All the posts I have read say they were both right.  Can you quote where I missed someone calling the other wrong?

 No its hardly "inescapable", if I drive to work on a highway and you drive through town you are not inescapably wrong, you just drive through town.

 I do not agree with many things that people do but I do not think those things are wrong.  I don't think its "Wrong" for a guy to use an axe over a thermostat, I do not believe thermostat people think the axe people are doing anything wrong and want to force them to drop the axe and use a thermostat.  

 That wasn't even the question in the original post.

 The point is that the original post asked who is correct and is now being altered to state one person is forcing the other to do something.

 Those are two totally different scenarios - if Axe man says Thermostat man "MUST" use an axe then he is wrong.  Not right (correct) as originally evaluated when nobody said he would be forcing his actions on others.  

 So by changing the question from who's method is correct to who should force the other to stop doing what they want we directly change the community answers from "Both are correct" to "Both are wrong"

 The "MUST do" changed the question entirely.
