If someone wishes you a painful form of terminal cancer how would you feel?

    I never said that anyone deserved to die, so i dont know why you’re saying tjis to me like its tit fir tat.

    Most people express sympathy when kids die, whether they mean it or not. It’s part of the social contract, independent from law. If you don’t have something nice to say, the polite thing is to shut up. You won’t be arrested for breaking social expectations, but don’t be surprised if there are social repercussions

      I asked in a previous post if they think all billionaires deserve to die. The majority of the comments said yes. I then said that it is their right to say and feel that way. At the same time, it is my right to say, “Your kids deserve cancer, or they should die in a school shooting.”

      Freedom of speech works both ways. Everyone is entitled to feel how they feel. That’s my point.

        So you asked whether billionaires deserve to die to bait people into saying yes so you could have an excuse to go around defending your right to wish innocent kids dead? Again, I personally didn’t say anybody deserved to die. I explicitly said they didn’t.
