@Gonzo17 When a female "trains" a male she's becomes even less happy with him.

@Shlomo @TenaciousGoat They don't happen often, but when they do, it's so satisfying.

@TenaciousGoat @Shlomo He set himself up for this. I'm not a troll, but I would have been tempted to post that just to show his implied moralist stand is untenable.

@Twig @KingOfWhiteAmerica @reallyangry To your question, about housing someone who wasn't a criminal or sacrificing materially for them, it would depend on the specific time, the specific conditions of their migration, the specific person with a specific background, the specific conditions of my financial situation, etc. I cannot say "I will do X for all cases" any more than I can buy iron bars as such. I have to buy a particular amount of iron bars for a particular price at a particular time.

@Twig @KingOfWhiteAmerica @reallyangry Most people have an idealistic worldview based on the idea that behavior which conforms to their ethics should be rewarded, atheist or not. Also, many positive atheists still have a theological worldview, it is just missing God meaning they still believe in an absolute standard of right and wrong, but there is no supreme being to define it for them.

@Twig @KingOfWhiteAmerica @reallyangry I can be cheeky here and say He Who is the Way is the correct "way" to lead them. 😉

You're correct that most people, let alone modern progressives, don't desire to live near migrants, but it's perfectly reasonable that they don't wish to even though they espouse welcoming them into the country because their morality is to act for that which is in their own perceived self-interest. If that means virtue signalling they do it.

@Gonzo17 We can debate the necessity of cages vs chastity belts vs collars and leashes, but the principle is the same: a means to physically prevent promiscuity.

@YoMomz @Gonzo17 Lol It works. There is no denying it.

@magicalthinking The Bee did and excellent bit like this with a collage socialist and a Cuban.

@VD15 Not inaccurate

@deprecated_ii It's called being a lazy. Most of my variable names look like they're German compound words, but you'll know what they are.

@Twig @KingOfWhiteAmerica @reallyangry
I'm not being intentionally obtuse: I know what you mean in common parlance, but I want you to think about the subjective nature of what is beneficial and non-beneficial for people. Only God knows what is truly best for them. I would highly recommend reading "Who is the Rich Man That Shall Be Saved?" by St. Clement of Alexandria to grasp that I'm aiming for something below the surface-level interpretation.

@Twig @KingOfWhiteAmerica @reallyangry
There are many ways to answer the question of why I came to be.

Your response still doesn't answer my question in a universally applicable way because you've swapped "help" for "harm" and "good".

@reallyangry lol They do that.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Twig +1

@Twig @KingOfWhiteAmerica @reallyangry I can't tell if someone disagreed with my point.

My follow-up question to the point about helping people is how do you define "help"? Is it giving someone a place to stay when they are a chronic bad decision-maker, or is it making someone suffer the consequences of their decisions?

What if literally closing the door on someone makes them realized how bad they've made their life, and gives them the initiative to truly repent?

@Shlomo Good! I hate that trope of anime.

@Twig @KingOfWhiteAmerica Francis was incorrect. The act of flight is neither moral nor immoral, and as such it is not incumbent upon another country to accept anyone for any reason or grant someone a right of passage into said country. The person in question is irrelevant from a moral perspective because flight as such is non-moral.

@Shlomo Does she ever physically abuse him?

@RoninGrey Excellent meme
