How do seniors like their social security? Think someone can vote to take it away?
Imagine if we give the storm victims a basic income for a year or two. How many do you think would vote to continue it?
Convert is a fun word, but I'd like to think of it as realigning their self interest.

Most opponents actually think you mean to harm them. While you work to prove them right, I'll work to prove them wrong. Not about you, but about the DNC. That they are welcomed to vote in our shared interest, and how that interest might be shared in the first place. It's about basic humanity, and building connections to other people. Shame that somewhere along the way you lost that.

Lol that strategy appears to be working really well.

Btw, why is it that you don't support Republican economic policy again? I'm sure Republicans are an election away from realigning with your views or maybe the dems will start winning with their great economic message. /s

Reality is calling and its telling you to wake the fuck up.

I made a simple statement about ethics, and a statement that you'll do everything in your power to never understand it just like buckshot.

I do love it when adversaries prove me right.

So you're claiming it's ethical to deny aid to Americans in need because of racist degens even when they're not racist degens?

I claimed it's simple ethics that ethical people deserve priority over racist degens. You added the rest much like anyone would expect out of buckshot.

If it came down to disaster relief or protecting white womens, it would be a hard choice for conservatives. Money for themselves, or the klan vote, a rather difficult political balance.

Of course we should prioritize aid to people who posses the basic ethics to reciprocate, and less so for those who don't. Resources are limited in the real world after all. Looks a pretty simple statement to me, even if you'll do your best to channel buckshot and never understand it.

So cute. Now apply your so-called morality to the topic at hand, disaster relief for Texas, the vast majority of which will obviously be directed to the very non-racist non-degen Houston metro area. Are they worthy, or not?

I wouldn't care if they were racist degens, because they're fellow Americans first, but you probably should, given your superior ethics & all.

Hardly surprising that such a loyal friend to degenerates has such trouble understanding what's been said, same as buckshot.

Posed with a direct question, you refuse to answer. You could clear this all up with a simple yes or no as to whether we should provide disaster relief for affected Americans in Texas or not.

Let's make your loyalties really easy to understand. Say there's a good person and a complete POS nazi/klan apologist, where both needed saving from drowning. For the sake of promoting ethics in society, would you save the one who choose to be ethical or the POS first? I think that choice is very difficult for people with particular sympathies and identity bonding towards the latter.

That doesn't answer the question. It's very much like something buckshot would say.

It perfectly answers the question of why you'll never admit to understanding anything no matter how simple the explanation, same as buckshot with evolution.

That wasn't the question. Should we provide disaster relief to our fellow Americans in Texas, or not? That is the thread topic, after all....

I think they have done passed becoming as shitty. I think everyone agrees Cruz is a douche.

I just miss the old days when this place was moderated enough people could actually have discussions without personal attacks. The ban stick loomed and anyone that wanted to participate followed the rules.

The answer of priorities in whom to help first in texas can't be easier to understand, except for students of buckshot dedicated to the cause of his racist degens.

How would you do that? Some sort of quiz? Pull up in your boat to people sitting on their roof & ask them who they voted for?

It doesn't matter because the only moral thing to do is to help them indiscriminately.

So, yes or no?

In my opinion in the past you just had trolls that purposefully and cynically baited other genuine posters into infractions. The discussions weren't any better, just more passive-aggressive.

Well that's not true. Take killer bees. They're invasion of the southern US has slowed because they make their hives near the ground where they become tasty snacks for the fire ants!
