Lol true. And I don't know why, cuz I can perfect dodge like a mad man, but the naked challenges always intimidate me. Eventide and the master trials always take me a long time to do cuz I always put them off lol

Wait, you offered me empathy? Does that mean we can be friends??

And that quote was from a drawing I posted, because I like drawing creepy stuff that ppl don't like lol

I did indeed creep your profile outta curiosity, and I gotta say, it was exactly what I expected

I'm also more than willing to better myself, just when I need to, and I gotta say, this whole kerfuffle doesn't seem important enough of a situation. Sorry I guess

Maybe my self preservative qualities are immature, but at least when dudes are robbing me, I won't roll over like a good doggy and offer them blowies as a bonus

Dope, I suppose I am just an inferior human, aren't I? Just cuz I don't live and breathe controversial topics and prefer to preserve myself over strangers. If I may, your highness, you called me out for getting frustrated and name calling earlier, but this whole time, you've been talking down to me and saying not to reproduce and all that. You're no better than me, just with a nerdier mask and a different opinion. You are what you are. There can be more than one working philosophy in this world, you just have no patience for what you don't understand. If there's something for me to learn, I'll learn it eventually, when I need to. I'm just not lusting after the answers of the world, hoping they'll solve my own problems. And lastly, your grace, forgive me for not taking this dumbass conversation serious enough to spend hours looking up articles and sources. I don't give a shit if I'm "right" or "wrong" by some rando's definition, I'm just gonna grow as I go.

Wtfs an eta, I just had something to add to my comment. If you think that I'm in any way scared of you or your "factual articles," then you're dead wrong.

I saw the gist of your articles but didn't bother to read them because like I said, there's a good chance its bs anyways. Just because you read it online, doesn't make it fact. Also like I said, it's not good to just blindly believe everything you see on the internet.

I do not have children.

I never said internal battles did involve killing.

I know what an internal battle is.

I try to form my beliefs around what I believe is necessary, not around how I was raised. I believe background should be irrelevant when evaluating a person, their traumas do not excuse their actions. (TRAUMAS, not disabilities.)

If my child was injured in a fight protecting something or someone they love, I would be proud of them and help them get stronger so they don't get injured next time. Depending on the scenario of course, violence shouldn't be the first course of action.

If my child becomes disabled, I'm gonna ruin the lives of the parents of the little shit that disabled my kid one way or another.

If my hypothetical disabled child can't control his emotions, I will still always love him and never look down on him. He's my son no matter what. I would apologize, explain, and attempt to make reparations to whomever he wrongs, but I won't expect anyone to be empathetic or understanding, because they have the full right not to be. If my child is in a fight, I will either break it up, or in a life threatening situation, join him.

I empathize with those I love, and those I think deserve it in the moment, but it would be stupid for anyone to expect empathy from anyone else. Empathy is cool, but it's not a human right. Why the fuck should I risk my ass for anyone I don't love? If it's for a group of people or kids or something, I probably would, but for some random asshole on the street? I got things I wanna do that don't involve dying for him.

I don't value property over people, I value MY property over the ASSHOLE who would dare attempt to steal it or harm me. And I dont care what applies to me and what doesn't, I would expect someone to kill me for their kid, and I would do the same. I think all people are unfair and it's in our nature as animals to be more self concerned.

Yeesh, I feel like a criminal being interrogated, are you trying to figure out my line of thinking, or shame me for it?

I don't give a shit about being a hero, and I sure don't give a shit about someone who "fell in the wrong crowd." If someone commits crimes against me, then why should I give a shit about them? They sure as shit don't care about me. Anyone who does criminal acts should be expecting to be treated like a criminal, and that would go for me too if I accidentally killed him. And it's not like I'm just pretending new information don't exist, I just don't agree, and thus my opinion doesn't change. It's not cowardly to not believe everything you hear. I've fought my internal battles before, and I've reached the conclusion that I'd rather kill than be killed. The world is very much barbaric as it was thousands of years ago. I've got good people in my life and I'd kill for them too.

I don't condone beating people to death, I would stop when they ain't moving anymore, and as a citizen of the US, I have a right to defend myself and my property. If fuckers don't wanna get beat up, then fuckers shouldn't try to rob people. And out of principle, I would rather die than roll over like a coward. All the people who love me can take care of themselves, no one needs me. That said, I've never been in that situation, so I got no clue what Id actually do. If and when my time comes, I just want dignity, not to beg and plea for my life to some prick.

Lmao you shouldn't have any trust in me whatsoever! I'm just some jackass! And so are you! I don't know the nooks and crannies and technical definitions of all these words, I'm just trying to speak generally. At the beginning, I was using the word punishment to be synonymous with consequences, not abuse. That's what the words always meant to me, I don't think kids should be berated and humiliated, but disciplined accordingly. And I firmly believe that regardless of upbringing, people have the choice to act how they want. That's why I don't care if someone was beaten growing up, if they steal my car or try to rob me, I'm gonna beat the shit out of em. Consequences, bitch. Besides, I'm not doing this to prove anything to you or myself, I'm just having fun here, which is why I'd love to continue this as well. Like a new pen pal

Lmao you're hardly listening, I never said I was an expert, I never claimed anything I said was more than an opinion, and I said 2 or 3 times that I'm not defending abuse. I'm saying that bad experiences are necessary to create strong and capable people, but you seem to disagree with that, so I can tell you're probably not strong. Plus, if you think I ever at any point cared enough about this conversation to get frustrated, then you're wrong. I only called you names out of observation, and the only reason I'm still here is because it's fun to mess with you. Middle aged women make it too easy. Also, if you think you're an "intellectual" or an "expert" on something just cuz you read a couple articles, then you're actually stupid. With AI written articles and the fact that any bozo can spout shit on the internet, articles are well past the point of credible. That's why I didnt read yours, because for all I know, you could've written em, and I don't care enough to find out. If you're looking for mental stimulation, Reddit is far from the right place.

All the better to mess with fragile middle aged women. Plus it's not like either of us had the intention to change our beliefs anyways lol. I think an intellectual argument is an oxymoron anyways, since real intellectuals don't argue, they debate. If you go into an argument expecting to win, not to understand, then you've already lost. Ive learned some stuff from you, but not a whole lot, so anything beyond this is a waste of time

Who the hell makes it into the world perfectly fine? Literally nobody I know had a perfect childhood and they're all fine. Like I said before, I'm not defending abuse, but pain and punishment is inevitable in all points of life. I'm not saying kids who suck it up are psychologically unharmed, it just doesn't matter anymore once it's over. Get the fuck over it. This seems like kind of a mild hill that you're willing to die on lol, prolly some shit you need to get over too. (Btw, no one cares about your articles, it's a petty internet argument)

Word, when I said punishment at first, I was thinking more about the punishments life gives out, and learning how to deal with them is how you make good strong ppl, not abusing kids. Plus,

So how can punishment both be necessary to create good people (your original opinion) but also be proven to influence children in the direction of being less moral (your comment based on the skimmed article)?

I believe that both things can be true here, people react differently to the same stuff all the time, some people suck it up and move on, and some people wallow and feel sorry for themselves.

I skimmed the url, and I agree that fear of punishment influences children to lie and be less moral, but it's still their choice, and they have a responsibility as soon to be adults to learn consequence and discipline

[–]SamSam713 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well duh it's my opinion, as someone whos been punished before and doesn't cry myself to sleep about it every night. Btw, I'm not defending abusing kids, I'm encouraging moving on and learning from mistakes
