    i don’t even necessarily disagree with that argument. I just don’t think it’s really all that relevant. I’m not even sure most people would disagree with it.

    Obviously you should be nice to people, you probably shouldn’t be an asshole, and you should help them as much as possible, but like, how many of us actually do that?

    It’s sort of like telling someone who smokes, that it’s bad for them, they know, you don’t need to remind them.

      If a famous celebrity tells people that smoking is good for them, should that go unchallenged?

        that’s factually incorrect and misinformation, so yes, it should be challenged.

        I’m not saying that the word retard is a good thing for society though.
