    I like this comment. You put the argument into reasonable perspective and have genuinely shifted my beliefs a bit. The reality is I will never willingly vote against any of these things in general election because in all honesty it doesn’t affect me.

    But I do agree, growth development is variable, like how you’ve got that one guy in your freshman year bio class who has a full beard and chops. My only hangup is if you don’t make a decision is like the trolly problem. The growth is already on a set course, if you don’t intervene, is that really making a choice? Or because you’re actively NOT doing something is THAT the choice?

    Alot of these issues be it trans/gay/illegal/whatever seem to be hung up more on semantics and word association than the actual issues which is stupid, and gets the movements nowhere.

    I apologize again for coming off as ignorant, I’m logic dominant brain so alot of my arguments hit people the wrong way even if it’s correct.

      That’s a fat bowl of copium for “I can’t be bothered to learn how to reasonably communicate with people”. If you were actually logic dominant, you’d just fix the issue. Instead, you’re full of shit.

        And here we have the emotional dominant brain. See how it skips the whole argument and focuses in on a point that has nothing to do with the content?

        Fascinating creatures you are.

          If anything you’ve just proven them right. Congratulations.

      {I am mega sleepy so I’ll do some clean up edits on this tomorrow probably when my brain is working properly}

      Tbh you never came off as ignorant, you seemed genuine and curious otherwise I would not have engaged. We are all ignorant of many things, it’s just a matter of how willing we are to fill that ignorance and how we react to discovering that ignorance.

      Responding to another comment you made here.
      I don’t really understand the emotional replies online either, everyone seems to be out to hurt others and I don’t understand it. It is so predictably vitriolic that I think that most of the rage is just bots arguing with bots to create the illusion of discord. Just a ‘hopeful’ conspiracy theory of mine… surely people aren’t so mean?
