Who said I was trying to change anyone’s mind? Don’t be so quick to think you’re so wise because you’re on the side of the majority. Sadly, you don’t even understand what I was saying, probably because you didn’t read my words very closely.
I have enough experience to know that most people simply don’t care and won’t change unless they themselves want to change. I was voicing my disgust; I wasn’t trying to change anyone’s mind any more than the people thinking this is cool are trying to change my mind. Try to differentiate between those two before you next try to smugly dispense your wisdom.
Your words put you on a slippery slope, by the way. So where does your compassion begin? Does it have to be cute and cuddly for you to care? What if someone were doing this to kittens? As I said before, I hope you’ll remember your dismissive words the next time there’s a human tragedy (since I have to spell out my actions to you: no I’m not trying to change your mind, only offering a wider take on a narrow viewpoint that people have).
If anyone is belaboring the point, it is you…this was a dead conversation, ended in joking around by myself and others, for several days until you and Torn brought it back up.
So in the spirit of not belaboring the point, and considering this thread is closing soon, I won’t be reading your response if you give one because frankly, I’m over it and I don’t care what your response is.
