It shows the effects of the radiation?

I shouldn't have to convince people to fight for their own rights and rights for their fellow humans.

I try to help people, as we all should.

You're not defining the words, you're addressing the belief systems of certain individuals and groups who use them. There is a difference. You should voice your problem with those groups and individuals who do bad things and hold bad ideals, not the English language. Whether I say "White Power," "Black Power" or "Asian Power," I intend for them to all mean the exact same thing, just with the race interchanged.

Yeah, he doubles down and makes every argument a war of attrition.

it shouldn't be socially acceptable, let alone encouraged, for one person to make a decision that drastically changed two people's lives.

I'm not for pretending it doesn't happen because people are too simple minded to handle that you can fight for liberating women from the systematic oppression and culture of misogyny that has plagued us through out human history AND ending the few problems men have to deal with.

I recall a story Donald Trump once told. The story went something like this: when he turned 18 or 21 (forget his exact age) his father gave him a million dollars. But the way Trump told the story he made it sound like his father only given him (Donald) a million (as if his father was obligated to give him more than a million) and he also made it sound like his father just threw him out into the world without a safety net. When Donald Trump tells that story you can hear by the tone of his voice how his father failed him. I am only conveying this to show no matter if you're rich or poor - even if you become president - you're going to feel like your parents failed you.

[MERIT] bottom line: just assume everybody's parents failed them, and then you won't have the inclination to ask such personal questions. idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My parents didn't fail me. I had a good upbringing. I have no excuse for being a weirdo loser. It was just a personal choice, I guess.
