I love it when people are so fired up that they yell at me for agreeing with them
I love it when you are so hopped up on the smell of your own shit that you give away you're just being a skeevy fuck by trying to make the discussion all about your opponent's emotions and not about the topic at hand.
You didn't consider at all what I said isn't only directed at you, but who cares as long as you get to win something?
Like here, where you are steadfastly defending assisted suicide and not acknowledging anywhere this is what opponents told you would happen. And you argue you want it both ways afterward and you don't get that you can't have it both ways; humanity is too immature and tyrannical for that, so if you want to save the impoverished people being targeted for suicide, you have to ban ALL legally assisted suicide outright. There is no middle ground with depraved fucks in western governments.
But you don't care about the topic, you just want to win an argument on the internet. Well, here's your trophy 🏆 But the policy is still bad and you're still wrong for defending it.
I'm all for a painless way out for people who genuinely have no hope, who are going to die a painful death or live an existence of torture where there is zero medical, technological, or social solution to ease their lives.
But it's crazy to me that so many people are against the death penalty because of the risk of a mistake, but they're perfectly okay with assisted suicide that has zero oversight. You'd have thought they'd absolutely see this coming since they know how little the 1% cares about them.
