Yeah but you come to conclusions based on visceral emotional reactions and use weak logic to rationalize why you're not being hysterical.

So you agree that you're being hysterical? I mean associating terrorists with regular ass boring Muslims would be like associating free jazz fans with people who only listen to what they hear on the radio, right?

I think you can but that's not at all rare and you're certainly not as goofy about it as OH. You realize I was posting that to OH and not you, right?

Yeah, but it's still a point I made, and I feel like most of the time I'm emotionless and so logic driven that I get criticized for my lack of empathy and/or poor reasoning.

Youre just ad homineming him. Wheres your counter argument?

You’re doing exactly what DWV said.

I think you're dispassionate to a point that you don't recognize when you are making an argument from emotion since perhaps you're not used to dealing with that. Like your stance on junkies that you've made from personal experience. I can't believe emotion hasn't influenced your opinion on that, and as much as I joke about you being autistic I do think you might be, and autism can make one rigid and closed off to other points of view that might make it clear that you're not being as rational as you'd like to think.

That argument is based entirely on limited human resources. I've already expressed that if we had limitless time and resources we should help them too, but since we don't priorities are mandatory, and junkies are low on the list. You just add in your own take because you dont like my rational.
