Hardcore PETA activists. Seriously, I've met some of these fucks, and they made me feel like I committed an act of genocide for eating a Ham Sandwich.Darth Wong wrote:Mine is. Why do you think I feel less compassion for a turkey than a person? What kind of sick fuck would not adjust their compassion for living things by intelligence?....
I'd feel sorry for the kid...aerius wrote:If one mother lost her child because she stuck him in the drying machine to dry his clothes, then no, I wouldn't feel much if any compassion for her. If another mother had her baby killed because she refused to put her in a child safety seat in the car, I wouldn't feel too sorry for her either. If yet another mother had her child run over by some asshole, I'd have great compassion for her, unless of course she threw her child into the path of the car.Robert Walper wrote:But in regards to your stance on compassion, are you seriosuly suggesting you'd feel less compassion for a mother who lost a child compared to another mother in the same situation because one mother is more intelligent than the other? If that's the case, that's....horrible Mike.
For instance, in Toronto there was a recent case where a mother had her ~7 year old child fall out of an appartment window and die. She knew the window was faulty, she knew it did not lock properly and could be opened wide enough for a child to step through and fall to its death. She knew this for over a fucking year and all she did was complain to her building super that the safety was broken. It literally took one fucking screw and 2 minutes with a screwdriver to fix, and she did jack shit. I didn't feel sorry for her at all.
Come to think of it, I don't think this example applies.aerius wrote:If one mother lost her child because she stuck him in the drying machine to dry his clothes, then no, I wouldn't feel much if any compassion for her.
