I call it as I see it Hydrogen.
I too call it as I see it, Mot.
I would never wish on them what they did to my family. Perhaps you can give me an example of where I have done this. Perhaps it's my use of "asshole".
Perhaps you need a refresher course in words.
self-right·eous
–
adjective
confident of one's own righteousness, esp. when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others.
Example:
I certainly don't need tolerance lessons from the likes of you.
Moralistic, self revering, I think that fits. In fact, I know it does.
So, to be self righteous, you need not wish on them what they did to your family. That's way off. I really have no idea what you thought it meant, but it seems you were aiming for something along the line of "vengeful", perhaps? At any rate, you should probably avoid words of which you're not sure the definition.
So be it. I am just glad most of the Canadians I know aren't like you.
It's weird to have such an opinion based on never discussing anything with me or knowing the first thing about me.
It IS weird, isn't it?
So I know nothing of you, in fact I cannot even say that you're coming off as self righteous in this thread (the only attribute I've ever assigned to you), where I've read pages of your opinion on this matter. Yet you know what I'm like, overall, as a person, after one sentence (which, unsurprisingly was crtical of you). Really. Now that's prejudice. As with self-righteousness, you behave the way you chastise others for behaving.
I wonder if you would chastize other people who were the victims of prejudice for calling their political enemies by a name that suits them.
Whom am I chastising in this instance, Mot? I've not criticized anyone other than yourself. Are you the victim of prejudice? How so? If you mean to say my comment has made you a "victim" of "prejudice", I'm somewhat flabbergasted.
At any rate, wonder no more; In some circumstances I might. I mean, if you're talking about yourself as the victim, I suppose I'm doing it now, and I'm quite comfortable with it. Still, I'm not sure that's what you're talking about. It all seems a bit outlandish.
If you are, please let me rant.
I loathe this sentiment, where labeling yourself a victim puts you on a pedestal where you cannot be questioned or held to account. This idea is why everyone who's able to now clings to victimhood. It has become a label which is a trump card against all criticism, where those lucky enough to dawn its cloak can cover themselves from their detractors and absolve themselves from the rules which govern the lives of "non-victims". I see it to be the most asinine trend to come from this generation. Just because you call yourself a victim doesn't mean you are, and it should not give you any special status.
Really, though, what prejudgment are you talking about here? My assertion that you're being self-righteous? There's evidence for my claim (see above), whether or not you agree with the conclusion I drew from it. It can hardly be called prejudice. Are you talking about the soldiers, rather than yourself? That would make more sense, but I get the impression you're not. Bizarre.
calling their political enemies by a name that suits them.
It's a name you think suits them, and as I've pointed out, you don't even seem to know what it means.
In this thread I am fighting for real life human beings that I personally know, not some abstract concept.
Actually, in this thread you're not fighting for anything. To fight for something requires that the battle could change the outcome. We're just typing on a small message board on the internet. There's what, maybe 8 (mostly lovely) people reading this? Don't get ahead of yourself.
BTW who the hell are you?
I guess you're not very memorable.
Me? I'm just some guy on the internet. but I trust you'll remember me now.
To end:
I fought against intolerance
Onward, righteous soldiers!
