@steinpa @NCrosshair@RichardHanania You are aware that not every idea that comes along under the guise of "advancement" or "progress" is automatically correct and good, right?
@PathTwoGrowth@SaveYourSons Hard disagree. Nobody chooses their family. There are plenty of people who grew up in bad homes and turned out to be good, respectable people who consciously chose to break the cycle of abuse/dysfunction.
@dkbjj@DdrPrinceof@NickyyNiicolee What the absolute fuck is wrong with black people?Jesus Christ. I don't care how poor you are or how ghetto your upbringing was, you should KNOW not to do shit like this. Unbelievable.
@KarmenSanFrisko @TeeSays_ What black women need is to stop getting knocked up by any random lowlife who comes along. That'd be a start. The only ones who deserve compassion in this scenario are the kids, who are now orphans, thanks to the lack of values and self-control of their mother and father(s).
@RosaIsfahan@peterrhague@jessesingal It's selfish for any person, man or woman, to live a life solely for themselves. We are all parts of a greater whole, and by taking part in society, we implicitly bear some responsibility to the collective. Give more than you take. This message is severely lacking these days.
@herosnvrdie69 No, they actually tie back to your own incompetence. But keep telling yourself this lie. It's much easier to avoid facing your errors if you have an enemy who you can hold responsible for them.
@Burnished_Gold@OrwellNGoode That's easier said than done when you're in love and feel compelled to act out your role as the provider by helping out financially. I think this inclination is hardcoded into men to some degree.
@TulsiGabbard I'm amazed, but not really surprised, at how many people in the replies seem to think Islamism is the same as Islam. They are related, but not the same. Tulsi chose her words carefully here.
@ClownfishAgain@Zachariahskylab@JudeJoanis @brocccolini @wesyang The vast majority of women are not lesbians. In this particular context, you need to take yourself out of the analysis and take an evolutionary bird's eye view on things.
@HessaRight @victoire_rose1 @acoolmonkey1@RavensCraft_@thetimes Human nature is complex. Good and evil are both part of who we are, and there are circumstances in which the worst in us shows itself and demands radical solutions from otherwise good people.
@HessaRight @victoire_rose1 @acoolmonkey1@RavensCraft_@thetimes Or soldiers and policemen who were overwhelmingly regular people who were forced to commit horrifying atrocities. Even this has reasons which can (and should) be examined and understood, without justifying them for even a second.
@HessaRight @victoire_rose1 @acoolmonkey1@RavensCraft_@thetimes Unthinkable things happen every day. Trying to understand them is not the same as justifying them at all. Understanding them is actually a prerequisite for making sure they happen as rarely as humanly possible.
@HessaRight @victoire_rose1 @acoolmonkey1@RavensCraft_@thetimes Since I do not have the knowledge of what I would do because I have never been in that situation, I can't confidently say that I would NEVER do that. I simply don't know that. Admitting that you don't know instead of lying and saying that you do is simply being honest.
@HessaRight @victoire_rose1 @acoolmonkey1@RavensCraft_@thetimes If I'm starving to death on an island with a group of people, and at some point it becomes clear that we must kill and eat one of the group in order to survive, I'm not arrogant enough to claim to KNOW that I wouldn't engage in cannibalism, even though it would feel very wrong.
