Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

No, I fully engaged with it. You just don't have the logical ability to figure that out so let me explain it simply for you...

That's entirely up to you to decide. No one can make that decision for you. If you're that shitty of a person then that's for you to choose to be.

Maybe it's different for you, but people don't always choose to care about things. Rather, it is something that happens to us, so I don't choose to care about the screaming and bleeding of pigs. It's forced on me by my empathy, it was never a choice.

That's why slaughterhouse work is associated with higher rates of self harm, violence, addiction, alcoholism, overdose, abuse, depression, and suicide. Slaughterers don't choose to care about the animals they kill, it just happens to them. Sometimes they become so psychically wounded that they stop caring, but after that they lose the ability to care about anyone else either.

Neither do I choose to care if you live or die. It just happens. Unfortunately.

I do choose to block you, though, because you're going to hurt me again if I don't. I wonder why you chose to hurt me?
