DOMA and Prop 8. Both History.

Describe your moral compass comrade. None? See I knew that already. You hate too much.

See this is the problem with you reactionaries. You think because someone doesn't have the same morality as you, or even particular morality at all, that they must be a nihilist. You are not only very judgmental and bigoted, but you are flat out WRONG.

Morality is extremely subjective, and as a result, no society should be governed based on any particular set of morals, nor should a person have to live their lives based on a such a framework. To me, morality is just a code phrase for religious dogmatism. It is usually very authoritarian in nature, and wants to subject other people to its own views of how the world should be. This is a big reason why the GOP is in shambles right now - cause they want to force everyone else to live by their ways.

As far as my own moral compass goes, there is no particular way to describe it because I dont let any set of subjective morality guide my way of thinking. I simply try my best to do the right thing all the time, in any circumstance. This doesn't make me a nihilist by any means, and in fact, I usually consider the needs of others before my own. In many ways I actually have a privileged position in society - I am white, I am male, and I am heterosexual. But I also realize that my privileged position isn't right, and strongly believe that those different from should have the same rights, opportunity, and fair treatment as I or any one else. The difference between you and me is, you aren't willing to give up your privileged position, whereas I am. Then you turn around and try to justify a system that PROMOTES inequality at its very core. It is you who is the nihilist, not I. Derp.

Also, I disagree that I hate too much. There is NEVER too much hate for capitalism, and the inequality and alienation it espouses. In fact, there needs to be a lot more hatred of it.

But, you do man, you just don't do it physically. You are like a guy with a full body tattoo, and a ton of body mods who wonders why you're stuck working the late shift at the video store.

And this just proves my point. That isn't the guy with tattoos problem, that is SOCIETIES problem. Why should he be discriminated against because he happens to be a little more colorful than the average person? The answer: He shouldn't be discriminated against in the first place. The reason a guy with a fully tattoo body suit has to work the night shift at a video store is because the capitalist class says so, because he is "different" and doesn't adhere to THEIR morality, or their ideal person. Despite the fact he may be a talented, knowledgeable and productive, and in general, good-hearted individual.

As far as I'm concerned, you capitalists are every bit as authoritarian as Stalin, but as much as I abhor him and his actions, at least he didn't try to hide it. Your example just proves once again, that it is YOU that is the nihilist here.

Yes, actually, we must love Canada. Wayne Gretzky says so.

I don't have to love anything or anyone cause someone said so. I will decide that at my own discretion. So consider that rule broken as far as I'm concerned.

At first I read, "Crappies" -- but, it doesn't make sense to call me a fish. You had me at "I dislike people..." C'mon, really, who do you actually, really like? You seemingly hate everybody.

I don't hate everybody by any means. In fact, I think people, in general, are good. I think you should be asking yourself that question, since it is you, and not I, that has the cynical, Christian view of human nature. And it is you who is the subjective moralist that preaches freedom and liberty all the time but is really an authoritarian at heart. After all, it was you that just said guys with full body tattoos should be working graveyard shifts at video stores, was it not?

I myself have a lot of tattoos, not a full body suit, but quite a bit, and I get annoyed when bigoted people stare at me or make snide comments. Thankfully it very rarely happens. I had one lady come up to me a few years ago and tell me that I was going to hell because I wasn't a moral person for having all those tattoos. I scoffed at her and said whatever and walked away, but I really wanted to tell her to go fuck herself and shove her morals where the sun don't shine, and that I'd give her a grand tour of the place when she was sent there for being a judgemental douche bag. I was nice enough not to say it, though I certainly could have w/o there being any repercussions. But I chose not to. I certainly did think it though.

So save your authoritarian, subjective morality crap for someone who gives a fuck, or for other nihilists like you that love to make preconceived notions about people because they are different from you somehow. I don't talk to my own father for these very reasons: Cause he's a controlling, self-interested, materialistic, manipulative, conniving and judgemental jerk...that ruined my mom's and both my brother's lives because he ran his household like a fucking dictator (and attempted to ruin mine, but I was fortunate enough that I am as strong as I am to overcome the toxicity that he brings into any relationship), and in general, he is just a mean and despicable person. As most reactionary sociopaths and capitalists are.
