All sight

Well, if I've been horribly villainous visibly, then I must be way more so on the inside, I guess. I think that the demand for patience has been high....

I haven't addressed the possible emotional distress except in that example with children. Christianity is perhaps the most successful institution to g...

I think that it goes without saying that we all know that this restraint is necessary in many relational contexts. For work, friends, dates, or whenev...

Imagine we have two families, two sets of parents. One of them is supporting and encouraging. The other disparaging, insulting. Do you think that the ...

It's not a poor me act, it's trying to understand where all of these baseless accusations are coming from. I don't think that replying to you further ...

Do you want me to leave, or trying to manufacture cause to force it? Why are you trying to paint me as such a villain?

I never said that I was particularly kind and loving, wouldn't require confession and redemption if I were. Just that they are really important things...

I am sincerely not worried about this exchange making me look bad.

Lol, but none of that is remotely true. It's character assassination... of course I can't assent to that...

I asked you in what sense I was passive aggressive, and you wouldn't tell me, so I had to guess.

That's right, I confess and repent, and it is a real thing, and it is an important thing. Never denied that.

"Some of the strategies you specifically have used have been to falsely imply that others are ignorant of the topic at hand, and to impugn and mock th...

I don't know how to respond to you. You're just making a string of accusations, none of which are obviously disprovable, based on the claimed covertne...

No, I in fact was not. My point has always been that the abuse does the opposite of what one would wish. It is an attempt to force them to comply, and...

What marks the aggression of the passive variety is that it is indirect. Like slashing tires, gossip, delaying, pretending to not hear you, backhanded...

What do you think passive aggression is? Completely serious question.

I said really, and I of course meant right here and now, though had to talk about the Nazis for awhile for some reason, lol. You know, there is a thin...

Nothing you're saying addresses what I have.

I'm not a fan of the formalization of morality, in the form of developmental pyschology, and Piaget. I agree that that is how competition, and games w...

More than it being unpleasant, it is also counter productive.

There's no real difference between insults and compliments, it's actually just all in my head?

I think that there has always been a problem with humans and arrogance, greed, pride, ego, and simply not being able to appreciate that things that ar...

I think that it is indicative of an adversarial approach (I refrain from cursing in the abstract as well. It's unpleasant there as well.), where one i...

Doesn't this than apply to you as well? Why aren't you just managing your brain? Why aren't you following this advice?

So it is appropriate? I am at fault for caring, or being concerned with it?

What does it mean to be moral? To fight and destroy all of the evil, or to be the change you want to see in the world? To demonstrate what you would w...

I think that you should ask yourself, "would I behave this way if I were trapped with them on an elevator?", and not anonymously on the internet. Hope...

I'm saying that I would be more loving to those around me, and they would be more loving to everyone around them, and it would require a collective ef...

I don't have to hate someone to defend someone from them. I can still think that love could have cured them, even if it as a matter of fact did not, a...

Keeping in mind that I'm addressing like the worst possible scenario, and none in which we face, or I would certainly hope that everyone would indeed ...

It isn't obvious that we are morally obliged to stop evil, else we're all pretty damn evil for not being vigilantes. No. I think that love is the cure...

I answered that question, I said that I never suggested standing by and loving hitler from a distance, but within the context of dissuasion through co...

You're just not being serious, and attempting to accuse me of hypocrisy.

From my personal observations it works wonders, that's why I'm saying it. I was certainly a lot more hot blooded, and prone to agitation when I was yo...

Aren't you all just selfishly concerned with distancing, and personal assertions of righteousness?

I don't understand, in your mind are you there killing nazis and I'm loving Hitler from a distance? I'm speaking of engaging a person in conversation,...

Because we are speaking precisely about the most extremes, as you reiterated multiple times... Do I think that I'm evil and delusional? No, I don't su...

You'd kill your child to save your own life? Do you have any children?

Loving him would not only fail, and get you harmed, but make him even eviler? I don't agree, I think that love is the answer. You can think that abuse...

Love is the answer. We are far from entirely rational beings, but love breeds love, and hatred, hatred. With policies about killing too extreme of div...

It is inappropriate if you wish to dissuade them. If we couldn't just physically make them stop, what does distancing yourself and disapproving do, ot...

Being abusive is hardly a winning strategy. One is rarely one more slur away from convincing them. "Fun" as it may be...

Okay, I'll just assume that it isn't about me, and not respond to remarks addressed at how wrong they are. Because, such comments, as a matter of fact...

Perhaps I'm being defensive, but I don't understand what has promoted all of these attacks on conservatism... the people I'm speaking of are not here ...

I didn't start a discussion on civil rights equality or prosperity, but how conservative teens seem to be, and my suggestion about moderation was indi...

How wrong people are for thinking what isn't the subject. What they may think, regardless of wrong or right is. The implication is not that I am sugge...

Keep in mind, again, that I am not attempting to suggest that the article is correct. I did not read something, and believe it, I believed to have not...

I am attempting to speak to a phenomenon I believe that I am witnessing, and don't mean to suggest which is actually funny, justified, or whatever. ht...

I do agree. I think that one important aspect to wanting to persuade others to our positions is that it increases our own certainty of it, so that whe...

My apologies, I attempted it. Just that there is an aspect of the human condition they are addressing which requires that one is in some sense already...
