Lacking any empathy for their self imposed depression, it is a joy to watch them pout and cry over the outcome of an election that just didn't go their media and polsters assumed way. Context question: isn't it moral to care about your fellow citizens regardless of their political bent ? You have phrased your carelessness well though, better than others on here, so your comment stands as an example of how amoral people should respond inhumanely to human suffering without trolling and breaking the news. Thanks. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. No, not in this political context. Not when the progressive's welcomed their candidate's hateful labeling of the "deplorables". I have phrased my carelessness well because that is how I "feel", and I can do it well regardless of what you think about it across the border. My comments stand out because that is exactly what I intend them to do. Got any more questions ? Quote Economics trumps Virtue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardner Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Your 'feels' are significant to me... am always fascinated by when you invoke your amoralism and when you invoke patriotism.

Thanks. How are they suffering? They lost an election. So far this year I've lost three. I was rooting for Harper, Remain and Clinton. I soldier on.

Michael Hardner Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) You should ask them. They are clearly upset and people react differently to stress and different situations. Edited to add: Including death, loss of income, disaster and so on. Edited November 13, 2016 by Michael Hardner Edited to add.

Michael Hardner Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I do mean it. People are in fact stressed out by different situations. It's an individual's choice whether or not they want to give out empathy or not, and what their believed reasons for doing so might be. I don't think I have seen anybody on the thread ever post that empathy, or morality in general is a 'bad' thing. They just invoke personal reasons as to when to be moral or not. It's difficult to understand people who are truly and unreservedly empathetic. Pope John Paul II prayed for his assassin when the papal father was being taken to the hospital, for example.

So now that he's going to be the president, the simple minded are freaking out, invoking Hitler and abortions. Look, Trump may be a scoundrel, but he's not going to bring about the downfall of civilization. Good grief, I posted that earlier and a poster actually challenged me on it!! These people that are freaking out do not deserve empathy, but they do get my pity and my patience, in time they will stop protesting or rioting and realize that hey, the sun came up again.

I have heard this before, when the left tells people not to be afraid of unlikely things like terrorism. Empathy includes the recognition that fears are sometimes irrational and sometimes rational - without having to tackle the question.

Agreed...I think we may have found the "stupid people". How could they invest so much of themselves into an outcome they do not control. They set themselves up for a colossal letdown. A wild swing swing from euphoria in a Clinton victory to suicidal thoughts in defeat. How does anyone function in real life that way?
