    Could have? Yes. Should have? No.

    People who are OK with others getting ripped off and having terrible conditions just because they did in the past are scum of the Earth. Literally, they CHOOSE to perpetuate problems. Problems that they identified as problems.

    Fuck them, and fuck anyone who defends them. They are literally a detriment to the world.

    Edit: Keep in mind, I worded it after reading some of their later replies. They are quite comfortable giving others less because they had a poor upbringing. Preeeetty sure honorable people take the exact opposite lesson when they live through it and learn that squalor shouldn’t be acceptable for anyone to deal with.

      I said I’m my opinion. I do not agree with that person at all, but to resort to calling them name is a bit far, again in my opinion.

      If you want to convince the other of the error of their ways adding insults is not helping getting your point across.

      I too read further and was surprised how their poor background somehow formed this rather intense opinion. But that was due to others being more like and asking questions, rather than yelling curse words.

      I find disagreement can be conveyed more politely, without losing out on effect. And generally getting mad at people on the internet is rather fruitless and vapid.

        Yeah this guy just loves to punch down and doesn’t get why they aren’t making friends but they have everyone else that’s angry happy to root for them because they also want to be angry. It won’t work to bring anything together and will just isolate people further.

        What a waste of anger.

          There’s no need to coddle shit people with shit opinions.

          and will just isolate people further

          Good. Maybe the social consequences of being a shit person will slap them in the face one day.

          What an utterly pathetic projection from you. I am not trying to make friends nor am I trying to change their mindset.

          They are someone who thinks their suffering justifies others’ suffering. If you think that makes them intelligent or worthy or respect, that is a flaw of yourself and your self alone.

            Then what are you doing other than pumping your chest and yelling at people? Some, that agree with you?

            If you don’t want conversation then why bother being here other than to pretend you are doing something shouting at the nothing in your phone?

            Pitiful.
