Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostNo, it's an either/or. You don't understand even basic economics so it's hard to even discuss this with you but if there are a lot of workers (legal or otherwise) the value of labour drops (as the workers have less and less leverage). And minimum wage is a joke, who's gonna do anything on minimum wage? This is the future the pancreasmans of the world offer to future generations: work to the bone at minimum wage. If you work at all.
If your minimum wage is a joke, you should raise it.

Check 'em out. You suffer from all of them.
As an example you posted cauterisation as in some way demonstrating that soothing words cannot be healing. To be sure, sometimes hard actions are required, but then again, so are salves. Remember the balm of Gilead? You want to settle for one course of medicine every time. A good doctor uses both at appropriate times.

No moron, I posted it as a demonstration of the opposite: that harsh words can be healing. Idiot. Why am I even talking to you? I don't remember a single intelligent post of yours. They're all some variation of crybaby whining and rank hypocrisy. Even CP has the occasional useful contribution.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostIt has nothing to do with how left you are. I debate with individuals far to the left of you often but most of them are quite openly aggressive. It's usually moderately left/right individuals who are passive aggressive.
But let's talk about actual content. You said harsh words can be healing. Sometimes they can be, I agree. But if you ONLY use harsh words aren't you not using the full gamut of Christ-likeness. Think of the woman at the well. Jesus didn't bully her or condemn her. He was subtle ... and, dare I say it, rather nice. You seem unable to say that calm, soothing words may be necessary sometimes.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostI don't only use harsh words. But this is a debate forum. So why be surprised that I sound like Jesus when He debated pharisees?

Originally posted by pancreasman View PostThis is more than a debate forum. And debate doesn't necessarily mean harsh words need to be used unless you actually believe calling someone a moron is an argument.
And Jesus spoke harshly only to members of His own faith.
2. The Pharisees were Christian?
3. God frequently ordered slaughtered those of other faiths who got in His people's way. How far do you wanna stretch this?
The modern equivalent of pharisees and saducees are liberals and conservatives anyway, so this discussion is academic."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

I'll happily heal anyone who asks though, as soon as I get my superpowers.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
