@paulhoti2 You're homeless. You don't have a family. You don't have a useful job.
You're a drain on society who provides no value to anyone.
OF COURSE you align with Obama.
Yet, even in that position, you basically think people with DS are useless.
You are a moral reprobate.
@paulhoti2 My closest political alignment is libertarian, Paul.
I don't fit anywhere.
Besides, this has nothing to do with me.
Your values aren't Christian.
You're inconsistent and dishonest across every issue I can see and you have zero self-awareness about it.
I'm baffled.
@paulhoti2 You're literally arguing that people who have Down Syndrome should be put in homes because they'll never be autonomous.
Let's put this another way:
Of what value are YOU to anyone?
How are you a valuable member of society?
Judge yourself by your own standards.
Holy crap.
@paulhoti2 You're fascinating to me.
You're like an LLM. You only believe what you do because it's socially acceptable to the largest crowd.
There's zero actual truth-alignment in anything you believe.
Even with easily-verifiable truths, you just stick with the crowd.
Just amazing.
@paulhoti2 I don't find the idea of evolution difficult in a religious sense.
I HAVE done the research on the topic, though. Intellectually, it's less credible than believing in the tooth fairy. The only reasons anyone accepts it are: 1. spiritual blindness, 2. social pressure.
@paulhoti2 How many people with DS have you known, Paul?
I've known a few, and they're generally very sweet people.
Your disconnect from reality is showing.
@TyrantsMuse The question is: What separates one being from another?
If my consciousness can cease to exist because of choices I make and that doesn't diminish God, can we still argue that I'm part of God?
(Granted, we're getting pretty obtuse here.)
@FischerKing64 “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
@allie__voss I don't care about having the last word. I was *HOPING* to end the conversation on a conciliatory note.
Best scenario: you get what I'm saying and reply something like, "I understand. I disagree, but thanks for a positive exchange."
Guess you don't have the 'integrity' for that
@allie__voss It can be used to denigrate people. That's not good.
So can the words 'tool' or 'failure,' but that doesn't make them bad words. Nor is 'retard.'
(And apparently, you're not willing to be gracious, as I tried to be.)
