re: What is your life’s purpose?

What is your life’s purpose?
To work and give my children a good life, enjoy it all as I go along.
quote:

Holy shite... broken woman logic.
No kidding.

Talk about an insane leap there.

“You want to put the woman who murdered her three children to death, therefore you must want to put all women with PPD to death!”

:lol:
quote:

With this logic- Then we should kill any mom with ppd/ppa because it could lead to a psychotic episode like killing your children and since they can not be rehabilitated and serve no one, just kill them. Got it.
What? :lol:

We should end the life of anyone who kills their children.

100s of millions of women manage to not kill their children.
quote:

You're collectively losing your shite because multiple people, some who happen to be women, have tried to explain to you why it isn't as simple as "Hang the bitch".
This is where your irrationality shows its face.

It is that simple. Hang the bitch.
quote:

If that's the case should we also sterilize all men since majority of family annihilators are men?

Men aren’t trying to rationalize their actions.

The VAST majority call for their deaths, no matter whether they are psychotic or not.

Same with rapists and other male dominated crimes.

The vast majority of males aren’t asking for understanding and excuses.

Even when women are the primary victims, it is still majority women who ask for lighter sentencing in criminal actions.
quote:

Pointing out the flaws in the system that may have saved her family isn’t excusing her.
The mental health system has been broken ever since we simply dumped the clinically insane onto the streets and the rest of society, but maybe, just maybe, she is simply a monster.

She received a multitude of help, yet she still killed her children.

She is a monster.
quote:

There’s a difference between defending what she did and trying to understand whether severe mental illness affected her ability to understand or control her actions.
You are trying to find a reason or understand an irrational action so that you can emotionally process it.

It doesn’t matter why or what or how.
quote:

The fact that you are diagnosing her as a sociopath when that isn’t even an actual psychological diagnosis while also definitively saying what she did or didn’t do with a therapist (newsflash, she also never saw a therapist which is part of the problem) is certainly something.
The fact that multiple of you women are coming out in defense, excusing her actions, etc., is fricking crazy in and of itself.

Insane, psychotic, crazy, call it what you will.

The creature in the OP murdered her children.

Keeping her alive or trying to rehabilitate her serves no one.

This emotional defense or “understanding” or “explaining her situation” by some of you women is WILD.

And it really is only the women in here too.

We live in interesting times for sure.

Should be even more interesting changes in the next 10 years.

My issue is games these days are so complex and big, and it may be a week or two when I get to pick it back up because of life, and I'm totally lost. "What was that combo?" "How do I select that skill?" "Why the frick am I in this part of the map" "What was I in the middle of grinding for?"
Same thing happens to me. :lol:

I think it’s an age thing too.

I don’t have the time to drop even 3 or 4 hours on a game at a time.

What do they cancel school for in the south?
Random rainstorms. :lol:

Based off this board, Baton Rouge is notorious for cancelling school when it rains.
quote:

What are you talking about? You're running two invented hypotheticals. Why? In one, it's ok for you to choose Poland as a second country in your personal Fantasyland, even though it's against your wobbly principles.
Hold on, your objection is that I said that I don’t believe in dual citizen ship but because of the threads hypothetical I gave an answer, you see that as a contradiction or hypocritical?

That is one of the dumbest viewpoints I have ever seen before. :lol:

I mean, I could pretend to support the concept. It isn’t hard.

So, in your mind, if a person doesn’t agree with a premise, they cannot give a hypothetical answer in the “universe” where that premise would apply?

That is what has your panties all bunched?

You should really revisit that thought process. :lol:

Having the ability to think about other positions beyond what you personally hold isn’t a complicated practice.
quote:

Let's also not forget the hypothetical where the United States and Canada are at war and I have to choose my allegiance.
I do not believe an individual should have dual citizenship.

Although your situation is somewhat different, if you immigrate to a country or become a citizen of a country, the new country should expect the individual to give up their previous citizenship and pledge allegiance to their new nation.

I don’t know why that would be controversial to want immigrants to America to become solely citizens of America.

As for international conflict, the USA has fought with nearly every single one of our current allies in its short existence, including Canada, although the argument could be made that it was technically the UK at that time.

ETA: We haven’t fought with Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Finland, and Sweden.
quote:

Hypothetically, you would choose Polish citizenship.
If I had to pick something besides US, which I wouldn’t do, as I stated.

I am not sure how you are having such a hard time understanding that.

Must be your Canadian half.
quote:

Also hypothetically, you have to serve in the military to vote.
Yes.
quote:

Are these hypotheticals in the same hypothetical universe?
What? :lol:

They aren’t even linked.

What are you even talking about?
quote:

Are you going to serve in the Polish military so your newly minted Polish arse can vote?
Yes, I will hold my same opinions no matter what hypothetical universe you want to place me in.
quote:

Yet, I have served, and you would disenfranchise me in real life.
Calm your Canadian half down. :lol:

You would be part of the only group I would generally allow to vote. I wouldn’t be allowed to vote.

This conversation thread is wild. :lol:
quote:

It's funny how you consistently try to foist requirements on other people yet exempt yourself from all of them.
How did I exempt myself from anything? I even stated that I wouldn’t be able to vote in my perfect world.

:lol:

If you just include the public employee, I wouldn’t have been able to vote until 3 years ago since I worked for a public, state hospital.

And I have held that opinion for years.

I am specifically not exempting myself.

:lol:
quote:

There was no "if I had to" condition here. You could have stuck to your guns and said "I would never" but you picked Poland anyway.

Ok. I would never. :dunno:

I think you are just upset I don’t think dual citizenship should be a thing.
quote:

You stated that you would choose to be a citizen of Poland. Did you plan on renouncing your U.S. citizenship?
I said “if I had to pick”.

If I became a citizen of another country, I should have to.

I don’t plan on it though.
quote:

Yes. Do you have any skin in the game?
I pay taxes. :dunno:

If it makes you feel better, I think military service should be a prerequisite for voting, which would, yes, actively hinder my ability to vote.

I also think all public employees should be barred from voting, including the president.

Include those with my disagreement with dual citizenship.

Don’t worry, my opinions carry no weight, so your Canadian half is safe.
quote:

Yeah, because pricks like you ask stupid questions
I don’t think dual citizenship should ever be a thing.

Sorry, not sorry.
quote:

How many years did you serve?
Is that relevant?
:lol:

Wow. Touched a nerve, huh?

Need some poutine or maple syrup to make you feel better?
So, no real allegiance. Seems pretty shifty of a reason.
quote:

Actually, it's not like that at all.
Every country on earth has been at war with every other country, many within the last 150 years.

Are you going to pick if they ever have a conflict?
quote:

None. Dual Citizenship is a farce and shouldn’t even exist.
This.

Especially for the USA.

If I had to pick one though, Poland.
Scruffy’s daughter didn’t sleep the full night until she was about 1.5 years.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you try.

She would wake up every time we tried to put her in the crib.

The characters sucked hard.
