    Starving children in Gaza, who will never see their families again because they’re dead

      Is that where you draw the line on sympathy, or are you one of those people who is physically incapable of talking about anything but Israel/Palestine?

        Of course it’s not where I draw the line. Don’t be obtuse.

        When asked who deserves sympathy, I gave an answer— and a far more deserving one than this dope.

          Even the worst people in history were at some point just a child that we could have potentially saved. Even as an adult, or after doing evil, I think sympathy and compassion never stops being the right answer. It’s just in practice we have to prioritise: the needy, the many.

          You said verbatim, that a quadriplegic guy hoping to regain some control deserves no sympathy and then immediately went to war orphans in Gaza. I’m not putting anything in your mouth you didn’t shit out of it before

            That’s not what I said. That’s just what you wanted to hear so your tantrum could be justified.

            Perhaps if you spent Less time making up lies and more time learning how to read, you wouldn’t be in this predicament.
