      As I said before, this exact attitude is what confounds me.

      You simply don’t care about the massive amount of kids dying from firearm injuries. At least you dont seem to, going out of your way to justify it. “It’s just gang crime.” As if kids dying in gang shootouts don’t have parents left to mourn them. As if they don’t matter.

      Why?

      It’s as if you were robbed of the ability to see a thing in the world. Or given an ability to ignore whatever makes you uncomfortable. The latter makes more sense.

      I know you don’t want to admit to valuing people’s differently, because you know that’s wrong. However, you were very comfortable in implying it, using the excuse of “they have it coming, they chose a life of crime, and thus their lives are worth less.”

      You just can’t say any of that out loud.

      I wish Insider and Forbes was paying me to share their stories. No such luck. They’re (the Insider stories, not Forbes magazine) just really good, and help to increase understanding of things some people would never be directly exposed to otherwise.

          That’s another thing, why do you feel the need to reply with silly one word answers when you’re desperately avoiding anything I say?

          It would seem to indicate you care about something.

          That something seems to be about your ego. You put forth the thought that people aren’t equal, and then don’t refute it when I ask if that’s what you really meant. You don’t care, yet you can’t help but replying.

          I’m sure even you now see what I mean with “willfull ignorance”. Or perhaps you’re willfully ignoring that realisation too.
