Why the adult qualifier? Is the age of the individual a factor in whether one is "humanized" or not?

~Jeordam


Because it is just contempt, and contempt being expressed to another human being has so little benefits in human conversation.

Here, let the AEI president Arthur C. Brooks describe this point. (Well former president now for he retired this year in 2018 after a 10 year stint at running AEI, AEI is usually considered one of the two most important conservative think tanks in the US)

EKS, it starts with "Contempt conviction of the utter worthlessness of another human being"

This is exactly why the knee-jerk response was so amusing. damookster - 13/11/2018 01:18:28 AM 498 Views
I think you could argue it's surprisingly apt. TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:31:37 AM 516 Views
I think for once you were unfairly called out on this based on your "history" TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:26:41 AM 537 Views

I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. You don't refer to people by 'it'. Legolas - 13/11/2018 08:09:34 AM 475 Views
People are refered to by "it" all the time.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 05:26:33 PM 476 Views
But remember, human fetuses aren't people. /s *NM* TyrReborn - 13/11/2018 05:42:00 PM 337 Views
Your second example rather proves my point, don't you think? Legolas - 13/11/2018 07:50:39 PM 464 Views
and those of us defending Cannoli maintain damookster - 13/11/2018 07:59:08 PM 436 Views
I'm not really commenting on Cannoli's post.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 09:20:13 PM 461 Views
FWIW mine was concerning ambiguity Cannoli - 13/11/2018 11:01:03 PM 498 Views
Okay, sure. Legolas - 13/11/2018 11:26:58 PM 500 Views

I think I mostly covered that above, but I can recap. Legolas - 14/11/2018 08:02:51 AM 474 Views
Who's on the phone? aerocontrols - 14/11/2018 01:53:14 AM 484 Views
Sure, I agree. Legolas - 14/11/2018 07:45:58 AM 491 Views
Aran'gar does not, and doesn't have to represent, trangender people for your usage to be wrong fionwe1987 - 13/11/2018 03:21:42 PM 485 Views
Except that it isn't a person, it is a character in a book HyogaRott - 14/11/2018 02:57:12 PM 466 Views
So? fionwe1987 - 14/11/2018 07:18:10 PM 471 Views

Upon reflection, I have edited the original post Cannoli - 13/11/2018 08:02:17 PM 467 Views
