Meaningless deaths..? It was not meaningless. They died for what was right. They were brave.

Nihilism is the belief that life and existence have no inherent meaning or value. By asking me if I've ever asked kids if they wanted to be born, you are essentially ascribing a lack of value to life - or insinuating they wouldn't want to be. As for your second comment, maybe. I am a Christian...

You know what, mate? Fair point. That may be the case. Maybe I misinterpreted.

This is very nihilistic. I understand somewhat, but we are blessed because we had the chance to be born. I completely agree that children are not objects, but I never once said their value is determined by how many adults love them. I just value life, as imperfect as it can be. I used to be...

Thank you. I respect your decision, even if we stand on opposite ends of this issue. I wish you a happy and long-life, and that you find your joy wherever it lies. If you respect each other's values, it means you have to respect hers as well. Mature discussion always needs to be had. In my...

Before anything else, please let me preface this by saying: I am not saying you are wrong to live the way you do. The experiences of those in your life are real, but I plead you do not wholesale advocate for people 'letting their bloodline die'. My words are not about legacy. They are not about...

"Even criminals are human." Whilst true, it doesn't mean we should empower them to mete out evil upon innocent people. A question I would ask of people who support such laws: Are you truly a pacifist, or are you a coward? True pacifists will fight back when necessary, cowards won't.

Depends on your perspective. I think having children broadens and enriches your life, but that is another matter. Ultimately, self-defence laws are grossly in favour of the aggressor than the one doing the defending in my country, and many others on the European continent. I don't really know...

I am, and our self-defence laws are atrocious. There have been many stories of burglars scaling drainage pipes, falling off and suing the house owner... so imagine how stupid our laws are regarding protection. You can use self-defence for yourself or another here, but the amount of force has to...

Wholeheartedly agree on this. I see many left-wing individuals claim that the 2A is dangerous, citing right-wing gun nuts. However, that same amendment is THEIR lifeline at this point.

I intend to mostly stay out of it now.

Hi!

Hi all, I've been an on-and-off member for quite a few years, but around eight months ago I went mostly inactive as part of a conscientious effort to work on myself. During that time I realised that I was quite a reactionary person. I would take comments too personally, and I would get into...

Mate, watch Usopp be a half of that Giant/Tontatta hybrid mentioned in the SBS. Bachina's nose looking too much like a Tontatta's, Usopp is also too good at botany... and he really likes Giants... :usosmug:

Ay man, whilst likely true, I thought I'd educate myself from an actual American on this matter, lol.

Can an American explain their tipping system to me? It has always appeared as a way for employers to push part of the burden of paying for wages onto their customers via social shaming. How much are you expected to tip? What is the consequence of not tipping? Etc.

I'm not certain you understand my point. The reach was about taking the worst possible interpretation. I read Nameless' comment and saw it as a bit of a wind-up, so the reaction seemed rather disproportionate. As stated however, I am not well-versed in this topic.
