:::::It's ''not'' cognitive dissonance to want the country to be improved while you are living in the country. If someone moved to Canada, how exactly are they to improve the United States? [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 14:48, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

Does ''cognitive dissonance'' (CD) refer to people holding two ideas that are ''actually'' incompatible, or that the holder ''believes'' (rightly or wrongly) to be incompatible? I probably haven't put that all that clearly, but part of what I'm getting at, is it CD if the person has no clue that the two ideas are incompatible?
Rejecting abortion whilst accepting capital punishment is not CD because, as I guess HelpJazz was getting at, one is protecting ''innocent'' life and the other is the taking of ''guilty'' life. The reverse, accepting abortion whilst rejecting capital punishment is closer to CD, but it's still not CD if you don't believe that the unborn baby is human.
The one about being a devout Christian whilst rejecting creationism and ID is not CD the way it is presented, although it might be if it's put in a different way.
The one about government is not exclusive to America, and I basically agree with HelpJazz on this. There may be some circumstances where people are exceptionally critical of their country yet stay when they could easily leave, but the way its worded is not this.
