General Question for everyone!

[Luckyone]

The controversies are usually about right vs wrong, good vs bad. The one proposing "bad" would be happy to meet in the middle as the compromise would still be 'half bad'. However, I don't think the one proposing the correct solution is going compromise. If they do "bad" will eventually win out.

For example.
Put an alcoholic and a non-drinker on an island with an unlimited supply of booze, and you'll soon have two alcoholics.

Humans always have good and bad in them so trying to stop that is impossible.

You example of putting two people on an island..............is ridiculous given that it is only 2 people and there aren't any rules (regulations that include punishment) that will prevent them from both becoming alcoholics.

The bottom line is that when morals, ethics, principles and humanity exist in a community where the rules and guidelines are based on them, as well as the leaders having them, you will have a livable scenario for all.

People aren't so morally weak that they are unable to do the right thing. They either just don't want to or are too lazy to. The cynic likes to say, "Virtue is it's only reward."

The cure for racism is to separate the races.

The cure for racism is what Morgan Freeman said. "I am going to stop calling you a white man and I am going to ask you to stop calling me a black man."

True but then again, one or the other (weakness or strength, hate and love) can be stimulated by those that are your leaders and that you believe in.

Nice thought.

To most maybe, but not all.

It just takes one person to do big harm to others

 

[LordBrownTrout]

What does that example mean when it comes to morals, ethics, principles or humanity. Are you trying to say that gay people have none of those?????

Nope, thats not what Im saying. Everyone has some version that they think is correct but without a standard of perfection, morals, ethics and principles, change over time.

Like the guy that shot at Trump and killed a good man.

Like the guy that shot at Trump and killed a good man.

Like every mass killer that killed Children in schools, people at Church, people at events etc. Many of which were defending a political ideology (more of them being a Trump ideology).

Your side pushes your agenda like Jihadist push Islam by the sword.

Says the guy with the same position on abortion as the jihadists, and the same lust for violence.

You're projecting. We've always compromised, you've never compromised. We're reasonable, you're wild-eyed extremists.

In regards to abortion your side has done the opposite of your post. You have passed laws for the protection of abortion.

Yep. That's negotiation. You don't give away everything in the first round, like Trump would do when negotiating with jihadists.

Liberals, being the reasonable moderates, we negotiate.

 

[mamooth]

317 genders,

Why do you think there are 317 genders?

Do you really think that, or are you just lying about liberals?

BS. Your side doesnt negotiate a damn thing

You put up Poison pill bills from hell and when we refuse to agree you say we are the problem.

Your immigration bill was Pure BS

NOT only that you use border patrol money to house and give money too illegals.

Here....
Shelter and Services Program-Allocated FY24 Awards

Thats your magic trick.

Abortion...your states passed laws guaranteeing abortion. Had you tried a 3rd trimester ban like the rest of the world it would have already been done.
