  • Sorry you don’t like de lingua, buddy. I can adjust that, but your comments weren’t particularly helpful in that regard.

    I think you’re taking what I said too literally. Fair, I said it’s not canceling out something, but that refers to an act, as you can imply from the second post, not a group of people, but I do see the confusion.

    Personally, I don’t see people and actions as the same, so if you do, then that would be our miscommunication. Does that help, compadre? It’s sorta like a guy stopping fire fighters and another guy stopping that guy and you’re over here going “Wow, can’t believe these two guys are both stopping people.” Does that make sense to someone that acts like a three year old but definitely isn’t?






  • Skilled people are not born that way. You can be predisposed towards certain skills, and you can even argue that only some people can be the best at something, but all those can do is decrease the amount of time it takes to become skilled. No matter what, you can learn to do something. You can learn to draw. You can learn to write. You can learn to tell stories. You can learn to be creative. You can become skilled at most things. You may not be able to be the best, but practice will always get you closer to best than predisposition. You are literally not just born with it.









  • You can make broad generalizations like that, and, generally, there is some truth to it. But that doesn’t defend YOUR actions. YOU are doing nothing to fix this. That is the point.

    I get that other people are also not doing enough, that’s a legitimate criticism, but it is not a defense, and it is a deflection when people point out your actions and you point that out.

    If you think no evil is better than less evil, I agree with that. But where is your no evil? You cannot make effective change by watching people die because your principles wouldn’t let you choose anything other than no evil, because… That isn’t a no evil choice?




  • That is so fucking stupid.

    A lesser evil can also lead to less evil incrementally as progress is made. What you’re arguing for is to say that people should take a lesser evil and then take EVEN LESS evil than that. Your insistence on perfection will kill people.

    I get that you want to be sanctimonious, but saving one person now is better than saving two people tomorrow, because it has the potential to also save two people tomorrow.

    Watch as I use your same logic against you: Your no evil strategy resulted in Trump, and those Palestinians are grateful that you exterminated them faster. Nice going!

    See how stupid that is?
