I think you might be surprised, most probably do.
Remember last time the argument about murder, you thought most people would think it was because "they were human" but in the poll only a single person (I suspect you) voted for that option.
I suggest you may have a view of what most people think that isnt accurate due to the environment you were raised in perhaps (nopt that it was a bad environment just that you were taught principles that arent in line with most peoples views).
@realcaseyrollins @georgetakei
I didnt make the distinction because it was implied we were talking about how a person acts, no one cares nor can even determine a persons internal state.
Calling a human an animal isnt an insult, its a compliment. We wish we could rise to the level of most animals.
Still perplexed about the large number of people from Germany and Austria who confuse "never again" with "never again but if this one country does it it's fine".
This is really personal for me having grown up in Austria (and having had actual Nazi grandparents) and I don't understand it.
Israeli politicians are using the exact same tone and language when talking about Palestinians as my grandfather did when talking about Jewish people. It's heartbreaking to have to hear this garbage again.
@realcaseyrollins @georgetakei
All humans are animals.. So yes, but not for that reason.
Are we talking about a narcissistic who is incapable of caring but tries to act compassionately, or one who does not **act** compassionately.
But yes if a narcissist intentionally embraces not having compassion rather than trying to logically enact compassion (regardless of if they feel it) then they would not be part of human society and thus dehumanized in that sense.
@admitsWrongIfProven That caught my eye too.
@pikesley I am more concered with i=where the apostophie should be..
"For fuck's sake" - For the sake of the fuck
"For fucks' sake" - For the sake of all fucks
"For fucks sake" - All the fucks care
"For fuck sake" - One particular fuck cares.
Yup that was clear, glad we agree entirely.
So now not living in the USA means I dont have a right to have opinions on abortion law in wherever I live? Man you are all over the place ya nut job.
And yes the 10 week part, along side the free abortions and pregnancy tests for all, should be a dead giveaway I dont align with the right or left on this issue but instead have an opinion that adopts concerns of both sides... Ya know, exactly what I say I am, a left-leaning centrist....
You keep on truckin though, lol
Agreed entierly, which is basically what I was saying. Dehumanizing isnt itself bad, depends on the nuance and context.
Apparently now having some "subtly right wing views" mixed in with your otherwise left wing views is enough to get on their shit list.
You mean the part where I think all abortions should be free and tax paid? Or we just going to leave that part out?
A giveaway to what? That I have views that arent entierly in line with the left or the right? Yea no shit, im pretty vocal about being a left-leaning centrist... Good work there sherlock.
@RodneyPetersonTalent Oh I have no intention of making it subtle..
I lean left but am decidedly close to center and am more than happy to adopt some right-wing points among my overall left-wing stance.
Points to you though for trying to weapoinize someone having opinions that dont 100% line up wuith yours as if people are trying to hide it, I dont hide it.
@darreninthenet I disagree on the compassion. He is worthy of compassion because without it we are no better than him. He just isnt to be seen as humanized ( a member of society). But compassion should always be universal... Tolarance I agree with you, we dont have to tolerate him.
The criteria was stated, acting human here means "compassion to your fellow human"...
@sergeant At this point only reason im logged in is to connect with an old friend I found on there who hasnt accepted my request yet.
@georgetakei To be fair it is no worse than what the left has done to him. They have called him that and worse.
That said I dont particularly mind dehumanizing someone who doesnt act human (compassion towards their fellow man)... So dehumanize away, at worst ill judge you on who you target (as im sure Trump is targeting anyone who doesnt support him it is that aspect that speaks against him for me).
@GatekeepKen and whats the equivalence in numbers? Something like 100 oil pumps would be equivalent to 100,000 windmills?
@ABScientist Yea you can turn off emails.
@cyberspice Yes it makes it left right... but still right.. thus the point
> I have seen Biden do anything that's actually left wing.
All of those things which you list as left are things biden has done (voted in line with)... Therefore your statement was incorrect, you have seen biden do things that are left leaning.
So I am pointing out your statement is a lie, he has done things you admit are left-wing decisions.
