Discrimination

if people arrive at conclusions you disagree with, via methods you find invalid or unfair, that’s when you reject the value of their assessment, and stop caring what they think… maybe even call them stupid, or something (but in a very uppity and dismissive way, like “hm, you’re just stupid.” then look down your nose at them right before turning and walking away…).

People say things, and many of them are wrong, and base their words on flawed thought processes and incorrect or incomplete information.

The shitty part is that you can’t fix it for them, if they don’t want to be helped to cleanse themselves of their own wrongness.

“No one will call a suicide ‘an overreaction’, and parents don’t measure their ‘wanting’ by people’s opinion of the worthfullness of their kids.”

I’ve met some who would, have, and/or do, on both accounts.

Popping out offspring doesn’t magically transform terrible people into Saints.

This is part of why it’s so important to think for yourself, and to learn to distinguish between who DOES know what they’re talking about, and who Doesn’t.

so you don’t think anyone has ever thought that someone’s suicide was the product of them “overreacting” to whatever combination of experiences?

You’re going to sit there and tell me that you think every suicide has been deemed “the appropriate amount of response to that person’s given situation?”

Come on.

And you’re really going to refuse to believe that some parents are shallow and superficial and social-status slash image-oriented, and that they won’t think less of their kids, if they can’t go around bragging about how awesome their kids are, or if they figure out that their kid is not well-liked by others?

You think it’s “statistically unlikely” (which isn’t impossible), that shitty people ever become parents, motivated by entirely the wrong reasons, and then impose their absurd irrationalities upon their offspring?

Honestly, i think you’re just in denial about how the world works. Surely you’re old enough to have witnessed such things at least a few times. Surely you may have read any number of stories on this very site, from young people expressing just how unbearably foul their parents are.

persons not in their right mind, are still persons. That’s an arbitrary limitation imposed upon my statement. Lots of persons “not in their right mind” produce offspring.

I don’t think i said anything about kittens, or kids being “thrown out.”

And now you’re resorting to character attacks.

Fuck off.
