Forgiving people has the advantage of giving you one less thing to carry around.

Let her answer my question and then I'll prove my point about forgiveness. I have no use for your retarded remarks.

You've grown so lazy you just put a label on things and dismiss them as such. That's both idiotic and counter-productive.

And it isn't a false fucking dichotomy since the FUCKING SCENARIO I DESCRIBED LITERALLY INCLUDES JUST THE TWO OPTIONS. ITS NOT REALITY, IT'S A FUCKING THOUGHT EXPERIMENT.

I was saying that the dilemma you raised was a false one, how is that "retarded"?

I asked you in the past to either engage me or not, but abstain from dismissing me like that. I don't do it to you, and I could. I expect the same basic decency from you.

If the only two options for some bizarre reason was "stab the person to death" or "turn the other cheek" then it wouldn't be a false dichotomy.

If you are forcing her in your thought experiment to choose one of those options, then it's not a very useful thought experiment. If it actually happened that would be a false dichotomy.

Oh and fucking hell, calm the fuck down before you hurt yourself.
