    we are beyond good and evil, like neitzche, bro.

    moral right and wrong are a social construct that maximizes utility for society. yunno how you imagine that lines are infinite, for the purposes of doing accurate geometry? they lines are not really infinite, but it helps to think of them that way. same thing with morality. nobody is really at fault for any sort of behavior, its just what they are. a product of genetics and their experiences. buts lets pretend they have frreely chosen their actions, and deal with them that way. as if there is a "right and wrong" and they are in violation. it just makes things easier.

    if i murder a fella, its not because of evil or whatever. its is because of the state of things in my brain, chemical and electrical. and i dodnt make them that way, the universe did. they started a certain way, which i dont control, and they were altered by my surroundings, which i also do not control. its a determinate universe. but if we pretend it isnt, it makes the rules work better. ther eis no real right and wrong according to anything other than what we decide makes things run best to maximize collective happiness. and that is arbitrary, based on human nature, the way evolution has shaped us so that various things make us happy. yunno.

    Tripp Roth: Louisiana Toddler Who Inspired Thousands Dies in Mother's Arms - ABC News

    Little Tripp had a terrible illness. EB that caused blistered all over his body when touched. His mom, a nurse, had to give up her job to take care of her son. His mom was not a fat woman with cable. She had to do what was best for her son. No one else could care for her son without causing more blisters. That is what moms do. The amount of surgeries, hospital visits, etc doesn't even cover the def of poor.

    RIP Tripp.

    i believe i said fat single mothers with cable. she is definitely a single mother, which is the most important part. i bet she has cable. how much does she weigh? is she isnt fat, then i doubt she is poor.

    Life is not lived in theory. It is done so practically or not at all.

    Look Martin, you are right. Noone can be poor or homeless in America. :rolleye33: They all must have cable and be fat, right.

    Pretty sure that when you are homeless you don't have cable or a fridge full of food.

    living with a friend:

    "her longtime friend .. offered Hollis a room at her home within a mile of Hollis' house"

    just because the woman has a roommate now doesnt mean she is homeless. is this your example of a poor homeless person? a woman who lives with her friend? if so then i know lots of homeless girls.

    poor thing, i hope it isnt awkward when her roommate hears her banging dudes she brought back from the clubs.

    It's only just begun. She's not going to remain homeless. There are many options for the ol poot.

    Btw, there's a diference tween not having YOUR home and not having A home.
