My (probably unpopular) opinion on arab refugees
|
Even if wallym is a sociopath, you would still need to attack his arguments, not him. Even if his logic is cold in your eyes, it may be correct. Specially since he has no emotional connection.
I am just saying... Not supporting wallym. I havent read what he has posted actually.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

If that's the case, I can't really make the argument that morality is objective without bringing God into the picture. So I'll leave it to others to debate his argument in a secular/philosophical way.

It's blissfully easy to make the case from practical self interest, lol. Morality need not apply, subjective or otherwise.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
