@warren__terra @swordsjew , thank you.

@swordsjew , does this story have any relationship to the prison guard?

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot And that will have to be your last words to me.

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot I am judging you right now... I don't care if you surrender or not though, regardless of my abilities.

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot , as for how we can make the world better, I offered a suggestion. Education in logic and ethics. I stand by those words.

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot , no, the quote is NOT a nice thing, it is purely a warning, that we will be judged. That judgement will not go easy on anyone who doesn't treat the poor well. I don't know how you can misread it so. All you need do is look at how we have judged all societies in our past to understand this isn't a warning that we will look kindly on any society that mistreats the poor. It is, simply, a statement of fact. We will be judged. Period. It is up to us HOW we will be judged, and part of the criteria will be 'how we treat the poor, and not the rich.'

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot , I'm lost. That is a quote. I didn't say it, I repeated it. And there is nothing 'nice' about it. I honestly don't know what you are trying to present to me.

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot Nanking, the Christians tossed to lions... I see nothing 'nice' in the examples I used, and I HIGHLY doubt Chavez was thinking about Iceland's healthcare system when warning that history will judge us for our actions.

I think you are misreading my words, or intent.

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot I am honestly confused as to what point you are trying to make. It was just a quote that I think encapsulates the moral issue in a way we can all understand. We don't judge ancient Rome for how they treated the rich, but for how they treated the Christians. We don't judge 1920s Japan for how they treated their emperor, but for the rape of Nanking. Chavez pointed out a very real thing. There is nothing hopelessly romantic about his statement.

@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot , should or should not is irrelevant. It WILL happen. There is nothing save a mass extinction event that will change this. People right now "should" accept this fact... And I suggest we/they act accordingly. We WILL be judged.
