Let's Try Something Productive

[Veerman_12]

Wanted to make a basic rundown my essential core values in order to better let liberals understand point of view. These influence my daily and political life

- all human lives are of equal value

- all people should be treated equally/fairly under law

- adults should legally be allowed to do most things that don't physically harm others

- personal responsibility is incredibly important

- government role should be minimal but very well done

- near absolute freedom of speech must be protected

- families are the bedrock of a healthy society

- viewpoint diversity is infinitely more important than racial, gender, sexuality diversity

- I believe in God

- subjective opinions and emotions should not determine laws

- people should be free to believe or not believe what they want as long as they abide by law

- we should be respectful and kind to one another

Most of my beliefs can be inferred from those. Feel free to share your own as it may (hopefully) lead to more respectful, insightful, productive dialogue.

You left off the thing about your severe narcissism.

And if you respond to this in any way, then you should have also listed that being honest is not important to you, as that means you lied about using ignore.

Does personal responsibility apply to businesses also?

Lol the cretins weighing in? Don't feed the trolls. I would be interested in hearing honest takes on where you stand. No need to even acknowledge them. That's what they want.

When they start doing anything other than trolling they may come off ignore. Until then I have no time for their nonsense.

Are you inferring "All human lived lives"are of equal value or "All lives before the legal age of adulthood"?
All human lives are of equal value?

Life in general has value. I may have worded this less than eloquently, but the point is no one is without value and all lives have too much value for anyone or any government to allow them to be taken without a tremendous reason (if they're murderers, rapists, child molesters, they have forfeited their "value" due to harming others).

I see and of course agree with in relation to the law.
Life in general does have value, but life is good. God saw what he created and said it is good. It took us 1,000s of years to form a society of laws that takes those words seriously. That what God has made "is good". This is the West. The light and hope of the world. It's not perfect. No guarantees that you're immune to sickness suffering and death. This is why I agree with the statement, it is better to have lived. Because God said those words. We know that people suffer terribly and die. Tragically and painfully, it's hard to fully grasp what God was thinking. I can't, I'm only a man.
I think he meant for us to pick up our burdens, carry and toil with them on our backs, with all our strength and move forward. "The cross".

Lol I see none of the libs had any interest in trying to define who they are to help generate healthy discourse. Not surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised.

Also, there is no such thing as "equality" when it comes to human life. Every room you walk into will have a "smartest" and "dumbest" person with tons of variance in between.

The pursuit of "equality" is a flawed and trivial pursuit since there are so many variables that impact the outcomes of people's lives.
