And what does it say to YOU?

    ...since you're all so anxious to know who made this remark about empathy (I can see you chomping at the bit, and I appreciate all your responses, wink wink)...

    The person who said this was Barack Obama.

    I don't like the idea of someone telling me I'm not exempt from something. I don't have to answer the call if I don't want to.

    It isn't about someone telling you what you are or are not, it's about the good side of human nature.

    It's about how Barak Obama just wants to force people to behave, not inspire them to want to behave. A translation of his post is basically, "Don't think you don't have to be a good person." He says nothing about why. If he isn't talking about the why, then he should shut up.

    Classic que barium post. When pwned, respond with insults. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, just spend a lot of time discovering the concept of innate goodness, and how it isn't something that is pressured onto people.

    It was an attempt at humor in reply to a nonsensical humorous post of your own.

    Common ground.

    You've only chosen to revile in it.


    And that's kinda humorous, too.

    Nah, you just didn't know how to disprove it, so you resorted to an attempt to ridicule it. Now that's something that's kind of funny.

    I suggest you keep re-reading my post until you understand what it means, because it does in fact make sense.

    It makes sense if you go for that paranoid-delusional sort of thinking.

    There's nothing there to counter. I mean, now that you're dragging it out, it's sort of sad.

    Peace be with you, man.

    Now you're just spamming this thread with last word fanaticism. The bottom line is that you don't know how to understand my post. This is evident with your repeated attempts to just ridicule it. Now that's sad, but I'm trying to help you get better.
