Definitely not in the eyes of a Doctor when evaluating your care. You are a person, just like everyone else. A few different variables in your life, and you could have been the murderer or the rapist. Hell man, it could still happen. What if you develop schizophrenia, don't realize it, and kill or rape someone before you can get help? That's a far off possibility, I'll admit, but there's a lot of things that could happen and you can't possible see the future or I'm pretty sure you would be quite a bit richer. You're welcome to your opinion of course that you're better than others, but when you accept that and think it's okay, you become judgmental. Being judgmental leads to a closed mind, and it doesn't stop at murderers and rapists. Liberals. Black people. Women. Who do you think is better than you? I'd really love to see that list, honestly. I have to say I think I'm starting to connect some dots here. I can't state it enough, I don't think that it's okay for anyone to be violent. We have to find better ways, to communicate and let go of hatred. Hatred is easy. Love is hard. It's hard to be vulnerable, I know, because it makes you leak weak. But appearances aren't everything.Quote:

Yes, I can empathize with people's anger at a system that is designed to keep people down and oppress them. I sure can. Just like I can empathize with conservatives who don't want their elite way of life threatened. Personally, my values direct me as to which one holds more water. If you were treated like so many black people are in this country, you'd be crying for your mom or anyone to listen.Quote:

I don't have to be an expert to have a reasonable interpretation of words and their meanings, without jumping to some far off, irrelevant comparison. In fact, here's this from our constitution:
Please, explain to me how the second amendment is somehow more important than the fourth. Or even section 1 of the 14th:Quote:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Cops killing people is depriving them of due process of law. Period. So by definition of our constitution, cops shouldn't be allowed to kill people. Yet they can, and they do, and they are not always even remotely considered justified. You can't just use the constitution as a justification for your rights, while ignoring others that should be protected, but aren't. I mean, you can, but it makes you look self serving, arrogant, and racist. I support all of our Constitution, because the principles it sets forth truly are good. We just don't live by them while claiming we do.Quote:
AMENDMENT XIV - Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.
Note: Article I, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of the 14th amendment.
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Also because the truth matters, men are capable of lactation, just not naturally. It takes hormonal and estrogen injection, but it is possible. A really quick google search can give you all of the details.
