    Would I rather be alive and in a position to negotiate my freedom than dead? Gee, what a hard que–oh wait.

    Seriously, I don't get this. I don't understand how people have become so hateful and spiteful and blood-thirsty. It's Fox News, isn't it? Right-wing, jingoistic, hyper-patriotic, "I can't understand the second amendment because I think only half of it applies" bullshit.

    Go find a heart. Compassion. Love. Prayer does nothing. War kills. Love, compassion, understanding, patience, and peace is what moves the world.

      I already gave you the mugger analogy, so one of three things is happening.

      1. You didn't read what I said.
      2. You don't understand what I said.
      3. You are purposefully ignoring what I said.

      In any of these cases, it appears you are not debating in good faith. As such, I will no longer engage. Goodbye.

        No, it's you who do not understand because your brain is wired with violence and hatred and is unable to see past any of that to any possibility of peace. You are a relic of an ancient time of hatred and bullshit and you need to either rewire your brain and evolve, or stay silent and let people who want peace on this fucking planet be the adults we are.

      Please go to Ukraine and test this routine on Russian soldiers, it will go really well for you, like that ad of Kendall Jenner solving racism with a Pepsi
