If so, we should also have a word with 1.2 billion catholics.

Yes, we should

idk maybe mormon culture?

Probably depends on how specific you get with the term aggression

That's indicative of underlying aggression and can't be extrapolated to other cultures.

My point is that when you pair a certain perception with a certain experience, it's possible for things to seem one way or the other.

Some people are very stuck in their perceptions.

That’s not the point you’re making,

It's always a red flag when someone thinks they know what point I'm making better than I do.

Maybe that dog wasn't indifferent to yours.

First of all, lets not level accusations without some level of explanation. That's just rude.

Second, on what basis do you claim that I'm the one with a confirmation bias and not yourself?

Yes, those are not examples of what I'm talking about.

Nothing where?

not meaningful claims about the world as such.

Not meaningful to who?

'nature' does not empathize back

except when it seems like it does

This is insane, antisemitic moral equivalency.

There's no reason for that to not be the case.

It's funny because you don't understand it?

It is a form of blindly following it, in the same way that at some point for any legal system that people follow there's some level of blind following.

What qualifies you to know the spirit and letter better than those that adhere to and study this belief system?

maybe we can find a software solution to the selective enforcement problem.

;)

Calmness doesn't mean you stop taking action against injustice.

Please.

some people just want to create, and that's ok. if you think they might be interested in something someone else has done, it's easy enough to say 'you might be interested in...'

no need to talk about 'better', etc.

It's not, because again, the police aren't paying or soliciting others to do the executing.

Yes, that supports what I'm saying.

Not really. You can attempt to tempt someone with cake, but to succeed in tempting them they'd have to experience temptation.

law enforcement isn't doing the executing

Went when I was pretty young. I remember finding tiny pieces of glass on the ground that we took to get inspected to find out that it was, in fact, glass and not diamond.

I can't help but smile when somebody uses words as a professional gut punch. Looking forward to the discussion on this.

This is one of my favorite posts

We might be getting a little stuck on the word 'victim'. My main point is that people speaking up about being hurt can be a way for them to find resolution around it. Sometimes other people don't like them speaking up, but personally I wouldn't think of it as my place to judge.

But who benefits by continuing to define those people by the things that they were a victim of?

I think ideally it's up to the person themselves to decide when they no longer need that definition.
