As a consequence, have a person’s kids taken away? Or should there be any consequences?

****PLEASE READ

I’m straightforward and don’t want to give any ‘fluff’ So I don’t know how else to ask this question without it sounding rage baity.

This isn’t a gotcha or trap to argue with anyone I feel and believe I can learn something of value from people I disagree with. It is interesting to know why you disagree and what reasons make you feel x y and z about things.

I’m here to listen, not judge or throw around name calling or fight with you. You feel the way you do for whatever reason, and I want to know a little more about why you do and that is it.

I would like for everyone to feel confident voicing how they feel about this question. I don’t care if I disagree with you. Fighting with you is not how I’d like to spend my evening. I’m sure you don’t either.

I might ask follow ups like, “Why is it that you feel that way?” Or “can you tell me a little bit more” so I can understand your point of view better. And that’s it.

If that feels too much or you don’t want to. Totally fine. Just ignore my comment to you.

Thanks for your time.

    OP, I sincerely hope this is not an attempt at sealioning. I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt for the moment.

      I don’t even know what sealioning is. If that’s a term for ‘rage bait everyone so I can argue my political points in a malevolent way with an alterior motive’

      Then the answer is no to sea lioning.

      Look, so here’s the thing. I personally don’t see how either side left or right can have empathy or compassion or understanding on the things they care about, if no one wants to hear eachother out.

      Lemny is a prodominently left leaning platform. I get that y’all believe and support certain issues because they mean something to you personally and yall are very opinionated about certain things especially hot button issues like this.

      That right there, peaks my curiosity. Not that it is an irrelevant topic. It is very relevant.

      I feel like if neither side can’t just hush their mouth and listen, then how will you be able to understand and empthathise?

      We already know, and I know foe dam sho lol that we disagree on a LOT.

      I don’t want to argue, i want to skip all that noise and just listen. I know what type of space I’m in.

      I know I’m not gunna change minds so why would I waste my time doing that?

      People change on their own. That’s not up to me and i get that. That’s why I refuse to argue here, or anything like that it’s a waste of both our times.

      I’d rather just listen and see what I can I learn and why yall think what you think and that’s it.
