Well, you know, I cry when I murder stuff - so I think that qualifies. It's pretty hard to shoot through tears, if you'd never tried.
There is a special place in my tiny, tiny heart for the minority report. People who, for example, will say fuck you got mine to strangers. Even more-so with people who think god did this or that, gave them this or that. That's the height of hubris and servility alike. Wholly aside from arguing the truth of the beliefs, and accepting that people act on their beliefs rightly or wrongly - I can see how difficult and uncomfortable it may be in a social environment to advance some hated or denigrated point of view. The world is pretty mean to assholes - but assholes may have it right.
.......insomuch as they remind us that we hurt their delicate fee-fees by rightly observing that they're worthless assholes. I believe that happens, I believe you feel that. Apologies - but I'll probably....no, definitely, point it out again.
-because I respect the truth of the claims you've made about yourself. You say that's who you are, and I believe you.
