Oh, so the tables have turned with who says the quiet part so loudly!View attachment 38932Ooh! Does that mean that if I were to figure out how to make people with circuitry and wires and magnets, because people have a right to exist, that I have a right, neigh, a responsibility to manufacture unlimited numbers of these things?I don't mean to snip too much, but I feel this is ultimately the driving force of Learner's position. When I read it, it actually sounds quite depressing, amoral, and vacuous.He has the right to exist anyway.
The person has a right to "exist". While certainly no harm is meant in the statement, it does seem to imply an utter disregard for people in general. After all, what does it mean to "exist"? It just means to be alive. In a single statement, it appears to show just hollow the 'pro-life' movement is. Where the entire goal is simply existence. It helps explain why the situation regarding women that are pregnant and post-pregnancy don't have much or really any (?) support from the pro-life movement. Because it is merely about "existing". Once the baby exists, they don't give a damn.
Actually, that isn't true. If that baby grows up and is gay, they'll care enough to keep it from getting married. They'll march against their rights. They'll bark out against LGBT, like they did against blacks in America. Sure, they have the "right to exist", but that is their only right!
Never mind that they are horrible racists and like to eject corrosive grease on the masonry.
But yes. By my measure Learner is signing themselves up for Benderpocalypse.
After all, people like Bender have a right to exist.
Every chip and memory that can host Bender, by that measure, must be allowed to!
