Before I waste too much time and thought engaging with you about this subject, would you mind explaining your earlier comment
"Living properly does not include treating lesser people (especially women and foreigners) with more respect than they deserve."
What rational can you possible use to back up that statement? More directly, what makes women and foreigners lesser people and less deserving of respect?
You've peobably already qasted too much time engaging me on the topic. Especially since I have no use for debate. Just remember realize that before continuing to read or responding.
In my view of the world equality does not exist. People are valued first by their gender, then by their morals and only then by their personal, individual qualities.
Women have been quantified as a lower gender for eons based on traditional values and capabilities.
Since the United States was the last hope for moral decency in the world, even if it now teeters on the brink of losing thst classification, Americans are a higher order of human than foreigners.
I'm sure that's plenty enough for your needs.
You distort your point of view by using the term "values" associated with it. There is nothing of value about it. Imagine, if you will, that you were born a poor black women from Africa and you spent your life fighting all obstacles to make a life for yourself and your family... Transcending the bigits, judgements and obstacles in your way. Put this version of yourself nose to nose to the "crotchety olde man", born with all the privileges that you've had... It doesn't take much to know who the superior and more valued person is.
Fact is, we as a society have far transcended your train of thought. There are still some that share your world views, many of which live by sharia law, and in oppressive middle eastern countries... Perhaps, this is a better place for you to belong.
In this country, we live a progressive lifestyle that evolves through thought, intellect and public opinion. Not even the world that our founding fathers designed for us was meant to last... they knew that culture and values would change and they gave us the ability to evolve our laws, government and lifestyle in accordance to our progression. We are now past, slavery, oppression of women, and we are continuously moving to a more accepting and inclusive society based on the value that "all men are created equal"
The foundation of your so called values comes from a self serving power hungry ideology that has been used by many groups throughout history... most notable the Nazi party in Germany. It saddens me that there are still people like you, especially Americans, who think this way.
One last note to ponder on... By your logic, along with women and foreigners, the young would be valued more than the old, war vets who lose limbs or who come back with brain trauma would be lesser valued citizens... It just doesn't make sense when you put it in context. I know it is probably hopeless to get through to you, I just hope you can show restraint from spreading this kind of archaic garbage philosophy into the world.
I would love to know who you are endorsing for President...
