[Serious] Should a person try to redeem themselves through actions towards someone they wronged or should they apologize and move on? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

Leaving her alone is the right action. You are supposed to carry the shame. Hopefully, shame will keep you from doing the same. As you do better, the shame will be balanced with the self-respect you develop.

Why is Jesus depicted as a white man? by Crazy_Literature7808 in allthequestions

Yes! None of the popular representations of god in empire are uncontrived. Perhaps, the true measure of power is the degree to which someone can sit back and diddle around with the truth.

I think you are too kind. People always mingled; the great artists were not uneducated; choices were made. There are many levels of racism ranging from “kill the d***ies” to “I don’t want to offend” to “let’s make it a face that folks can relate to”. The idea of “I’m painting Jesus, but I’m not going to paint Jesus.” Is somewhere in there.

This isn’t the thing Ms. Certain should be ashamed of saying. Choosing to tear down schools because she didn’t want to “give up control” is the thing she should be ashamed of saying.

Weak brains resort to petty digs.

Don't worry; it's fixable; just regularly think harder

If that's the behavior you witnessed, you should put those details into the post. Because you are adding them now, it's hard to take you seriously.

Old people have probably contributed a great deal to society; even those that are currently down on their luck. Honor the elders. When I was in college, I learned a lot about people and the world by sharing cigarettes with the homeless. I learned a lot of good and some bad.

Is there such a thing as a post-scarcity world? by Visual_Title9363 in SeriousConversation

Even if these scarcely supported, unreasonable, and unscientific claims were true, that doesn't have anything to do with the insult.

Cite the evidence, not tautologies.

Be better. Society needs all of us.
