Well, honesty is always appreciated. We could use more of that here, instead of the usual deflecting and avoiding and defensiveness.Other. I have little to no empathy or reason to entertain the thoughts of others who exhibit no compassion or empathy (especially for children in the womb) themselves. Especially when they continually challenge, ridicule and berate me for any and all attempts to point out their lack of empathy to them. Yeah. . . Fuck-em-all.

I got skills that put me working on F-15s. Again, it is lazy people who moan and groan how unfair life is, then expect the government to give them free stuff
Losers are 30 year pros at McD's burger flipping, unless they finally got educated and became a store manger, who makes 50 to 75 thousand.
Tough to say whether people who can experience empathy are born or created. I'm pretty sure it's a natural human instinct. Sociopathy may just be within some -- or many, for that matter -- and it may just need an enabling environment, such as we obviously have now.Moderation has no empathy for folks that can't keep ONE forum civil and useful...
Instead, I want to know the whole picture so I can make better decisions. So I want to know and accurately the motivation, experience, perspective and priorities of the other person. Just as I want THEM to know where I'M coming from. To me, that's a REQUIRED part of dealing with people, isn't it?
I picked #4 because posing immovable morality against irresistible farces is how ethic classes paints a scenario for it's participants.
yes, i'm kickin' some ascii sand your way Mac , you're like all those latin spewing folks with 1/2 the alphabet after their names....
fact is, you could well have considered option #5, 'Are empaths born, or created'??
Anecdotally , i can equate this to all my ems years. Serving the sick and injured is a grand litmus test , and no better place to breed misanthropy ......I believe a lot of us were born empaths , i also believe many of us burned whatever empathy we had out over time....
One starts to place blame....it's their own d*mn fault....which we can read into many responses in this thread.
~S~
Or maybe empathy is just beaten out of them, by a combination of life experiences and their own personal inability to retain it.
Either way, sociopathy is become more prevalent by the day, and the resulting hate and increasing divisions aren't exactly a surprise. Look at this thread: There are people getting defensive, angry and aggressive in a thread about EMPATHY, fer cryin' out loud.

Why do you say he's a fraud?I picked 4...........because I know the op is a fraud.....
Empathy............depends on the conversation at hand..........Empathy for the left and not calling them out for what they have become.............
Well............Not a chance in hell I would have Empathy for what they have become.
That is a choice.......not mine..........long history of his posting here and he almost always sides with the left trying to say we are so called as bad as them for being conservatives......Why do you say he's a fraud?I picked 4...........because I know the op is a fraud.....

You do realize there are extreme leftists who target him in their sig line, don't you?
Seems to me that if a person manages to piss off both extremes, they can't be all that bad. I like the fellow, myself.

When I ask for the grand examples of our side............he always spins ....twists...........and then finally goes well they are worse..............
But then he says we are the problem............so I think he is a fraud.........the left has gone off the deep end....and I have NO EMPATHY FOR THEM..........OR MAC.
Funny. I gave up my burger flipping and went into the Air Force, where avionics was a desirable field of study..I got skills that put me working on F-15s. Again, it is lazy people who moan and groan how unfair life is, then expect the government to give them free stuff
McDonalds taught areotech? what a great place !!

Empathy is imposed environmentally for sure... Like when my uncle used to insist on me coming to the Red Hook schools he principaled for.. They were tough schools and sitting in a few classes caused me to be "woke" to range of disadvantages that kids face.. Simple from "where" they live...
But NOW today, it gets harder to "empathize"... Because of the diversity point scoring system and the victimhood industry... Seems like no one in NEED --- needs empathy and mine is discouraged at every turn.. See the Race Forum eg...
If I don't score high enough on the diversity or disadvantaged scale, my basic ABILITY to empathize or even SPEAK to their pain is unwanted... There's a new system of grievance for the disadvantaged that simply doesn't like or VALUE mere empathy....,
I'll make this as clear and simple as I can.That is a choice.......not mine..........long history of his posting here and he almost always sides with the left trying to say we are so called as bad as them for being conservatives......Why do you say he's a fraud?I picked 4...........because I know the op is a fraud.....

You right wingers think that left wingers are the problem.
Left wingers think that you right wingers are the problem.
I think that wingers are the problem.
And I've pointed that out, about a zillion times, including the first and third lines of my sig.
You have to put a ton of effort into ignoring my thousands of posts about the Regressive Left. I can't help you.

Did I label you a "winger"?I resent being labeled as a "winger" just because I have empathy for children in the womb. I am not afraid or ashamed to rub any deniers face in their hypocrisy from any side of the issue.

In your mind, maybe.Your generalizations do.Did I label you a "winger"?
I don't know much about your positions, although you're clearly pro life. If I specifically say that YOU are something, then you'd have something.

Great. I really don't care.I don't know much about your positions, although you're clearly pro life. If I specifically say that YOU are something, then you'd have something.

I am not "pro-life."
I am anti-elective abortion.
I don't expect you to know (or want to know) the difference.
Great. I really don't care.
When I think of the word empathy, I ask myself whether people are showing actual empathy or simply wanting the world to see themselves as showing it. Empathy with true understanding is a wonderful thing, but empathy as expressed through virtue signaling isn't.
Empathy is imposed environmentally for sure
For me, it's not a chore. It's a curiosity. If I see something broken, I want to fix it.
It takes a little effort at times, for sure. But I don't see how anything can be created or improved or fixed if we don't know where everyone is coming from.
