    This is a genocide being committed right now and you want me to debate you about a message a group of people who eat traditionally Jewish food and may be Israeli, and giving these folks a message saying free Palestine is somehow offensive because they were targeted as potential Israeli citizens who can vote the terrorist Netanyahu out of office?

    What are you talking about?

    You being offended is nothing in comparison to what the Palestinian people are facing right now. Maybe get over it.

    Also. Free Palestine!

    Edit: Ok I can not see whatever comment was removed by moderators? I may be missing context if someone was suggesting the terrorist Israeli genocidal colonizing apartheid government represented all Jewish folks, which is absolutely and unequivocally not the case.











  • Yes, I think I would want to live.

    I don’t think we can truly empathize with how strong our will to live is.

    Also, I think questions like these tend to cause us to dehumanize folks with disabilities. (Edit: correction, I don’t think it’s the question that dehumanizes folks with disabilities, I think it is the thoughtless answer given by folks that tends to dehumanize)

    Folks with disabilities absolutely can contribute to society. The most obvious example is Stephen Hawking. He could only move his eyeballs or something ridiculous like that, although I believe he did start off fully functional and slowly lost control of his muscles over time.

    There’s the issue of ‘being a burden’ in family or caretakers, which is more an issue of health care in our society (USA here). It is not the fault of the disabled person that they need health care.

    We are all a drain on society. No one lives in a vacuum.

    No one is self sustaining, no one lives without the help from society without which we would all most likely die in a few weeks if not sooner.

    Folks with disabilities are humans. It’s society’s job to take care of all humans. Period.
