Thanks for agreeing.....so whether a person is selfish or not is actually a personal decision. We can't force others to accept that been selfish is bad or been unselfish is actually good.
No, you can't force anyone to be selfish or unselfish. Its their fish, and they can choose how and to whom they sell their fish.

The same does not apply to me robbing you however, as most societies have decided robbing others is a crime for which there is a penalty.

Do note though that most societies have decided to take some of your fish and sell it however they want in the form of tax for the unselfish common good. But you can always mitigate this by getting a really good accountant or going to live on a remote island by your selfish self where the tax man can't get at your fish.

So you criticizing trump is you being an ass hole too?
If that's your understanding and your opinion, buda lives. I don't share that opinion with you just as I don't share much at all with you here.

My own opinion is that you sitting in your house not liking LGBT or Muslim immigrants is you stating your opinion. You going on the streets of UK though telling LGBT and Muslims they don't have the right to LGBT and Muslim is definitely you being an asshǒle, and you'd be committing a crime too.

Of course others have the right to their own opinion!

I'm in fact currently trying to convince Bemeruca of this very same fact, but he thinks he must tell LGBT not to LGBT as if they are LGBTing up his ass!

What is the essence of enjoying what I enjoy.....
Since you call it "what I enjoy", it is for you to know the essence of you enjoying what you enjoy and tell us so we may know why you enjoy what you enjoy.

We are after all not mind readers who can tell you why you enjoy what you enjoy.

Michael547:
and why should others not be allowed to carry out armed robbery which they also enjoy doing?
Are you suggesting that an armed robber should enjoy at the expense of those they arm rob?

You sell cars. Should I be allowed to arm rob you, which might include killing you in the process, and enjoy the cars I rob from you?

If so, kindly tell me where you store your cars so I can rob you. I'd appreciate if you first service the cars so I can really enjoy them, and please leave the keys in the ignition so I don't need to rob you of your life too so that you can tell us if you enjoyed being robbed by me and should be allowed to rob you in future or not, because I will return to rob you again if you enjoyed being robbed

Ten cars please. I will be coming to rob you with my 10 cousins.

I'll tell you what, perhaps send me what you enjoy so I can enjoy it too, and after, I might tell you why I enjoyed it if I enjoyed it.

List here the things you enjoy please so I can arrange for delivery.

Who is lying? A man said something that is in their books. They want to kill him, police detained him. You blame the man saying he cannot be ass hole in streets.
The man did not say what is in their book.

What the man said is a "maths is racist" version of what is in their book, and when you do "maths is racist" with me I call you an asshǒle and I ignore you.

Less intelligent people might want to kill you instead for stupidly claiming "maths is racist" is in their book.

Meaning that people jumping from third mainland bridge should not Even be an issue to be concerned about? Right?
Excuse me! Why would you think such a thing unless you want to be selfish?

Apart from the fact their dead body will polute the communal water, the reason they jump off the bridge might be one that affects one too, or that one can unselfishly resolve for others if one can and wants to, and that's worth being concerned about, I'd think.

They are doing their thing and I am doing my thing criticizing them not killing them. But if I kill them, you will say its because they are being an ass hole.
You criticizing them is you being an asshǒle already, and if you kill them you are just being an even worse asshǒle.

They are not your children, so keep you criticism to yourself!

So you are not making sense.
You can have openions. My words don't remove a strand of hair on thier skin. There are only 2 genders should not get me investigate or jailed.
We are discussing here, exchanging opinions because we both want to. If I did not want to exchange opinion with you, I will stop responding to you and ignore you, which I always do when you start being an asshǒle.

If I'm now walking down the street ignoring you after I have stated my opinion that there are 10 genders and you insist on rubbing 2 in my face, you are disturbing my peace and my freedom to hold my opinion, and I would consider your behaviour asshǒley, as would the law.

All of that is still of no benefit to the person who has died. Does how the Living think about a person who has died affect the person that is been buried?
Then I guess you do not see the benefit of you conversing intelligently here, and will see it even less when you die.

I myself have benefitted immensely from you conversing intelligently with me, and I will continue to benefit from your living long after you die (though I will hopefully die before you).

One just need see the selfish idiots conversing on here to appreciate intelligent you, dead or alive.

George Floyd was killed on the street. Please show who called him an asshǒle!

Why will a family do honour killing?
A family will do honour killing because they are ignorant stupid asshǒles who have no honour whatsoever. And if they are caught, they'd be rightfully jailed for murder.

bemeruca:
Compare it to the people who tries to beat that man or kill him for saying or doing something they don't like since to you every person being an ass hole should he killed
What? They killed that asshǒle?

If they did, their asshǒles will rot in jail for murder, and rightfully so.

Ken4Christ:
Do you know that eye witness account that agrees in oral or written text can also be used to authenticate a claim or validate historical facts?
The Bible does not record eye witness account. It was written after the fact. No one was there recording God say "let there be light", and research has shown the gospels were written long after Christ died.

Besides, eye witness accounts are unreliable and need to be corroborated with further evidence. You will know this if you'd ever seen the wrong person burnt for theft on Nigeria streets because eyes claimed they witnessed what they never saw, or people claiming their pastor raised the dead they never certified dead.

Below is from the beginning of Luke, "handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses", which makes it second witness account at best, as in "they say they saw" and Luke wrote it, which even makes it a third account. You'd find discrepancies in what was supposedly eyewitnessed in other gospels too.

You will say the women that died in the hands of their family (honour killings) was being an ass hole?

Or the wife that was killed by her husband was justified because she was being an ass hole cheating on the husband?
I will not say what you stupidly claim I'd say.

If you honour kill or kill for whatever reason, you are a murderer, and will be imprisoned for life for murder when caught.

You don't believe in freedom. I don't support or like LGBT, I can only challenge them by words. I am not going to fight them or kill them.
LGBT does need your support. LGBT does not need you to support their LGBTing.

If you believed in freedom, you'd let the LGBT do their LGBT while you mind your own business instead of challenging them as if they are asking for the freedom to stick their LGBT up your ass.

If you challenge LGBT on UK streets, you are breaking the law and will be arrested regardless or whatever your religion.

No. I'm saying the living might reflect how the dead lived their life.

In fact, the living often reflect how the dead lived their life when they bury the dead.

I said something with a video that shows how crazy it is that people can't express themselves your reaction was to go and say it in Nigerian streets.
We have already established that you can not go being an asshǒle on the streets your video depicted. I informed you that if you were being an asshǒle on the streets depicted in your video even non-muslims will object. Or did you not hear the cameraman in your video asking why the asshǒle was being an asshǒle?

You can't go expressing yourself as an asshǒle on our streets in UK, nor Nigeria. But you are very welcome to try it anywhere if you don't want to take my word for it that decent people object to asshǒleliness.

Whether I live comfortably or not, death can still come to me anytime.....there is no guarantee that a person who lives comfortably will live longer than a person who does not live comfortably. Don't you think death renders all what we work hard for and how we live our lives as vanity ?
Comfortable living is not a guarantor of living long, but I'm certain you would rather live a short comfortable life than a long miserable one. I know I would.

A person who lives wisely will enjoy their life much more than an ignorant miserable person would enjoy theirs, even if the ignorant person lives longer than the wise person.

No, I don't think death renders all what we work hard for and how we live our lives as vanity. You and I have been living (conversing) here with one another, and you have done so wisely, which I am certain you worked hard for. If you had thought your conversing with me were vanity, we'd likely be living here insulting each other instead of learning about each other. And even after either of us dies, the living you will remember this our living together with delight, as opposed to the misery with which we would remember each other if we had lived here together miserably selfishly thinking our life here were vanity.

Ok....I get your point....but the fact still remains that whether I am selfish or not.....death can come to me anytime....there is no gauranyee that i would live longer and enjoy life than a selfish person.....so does that really benefit me?
I think you need to accept that death comes to all and no one lives forever.

A selfish person will not have lots of friends, and even family might me less familiar with them.

Just imagine how you might feel about selfish parents. They will not spend their resources setting you up in life, and living might therefore be less comfortable for you than it might be for a person with unselfish generous parents.

I will like to know how been unselfish benefits a living person.
Well, if you are unselfish to me, I will likely not be selfish to you in return unless I am a selfish asshǒle.

And if I am not selfish to you and then die, you will likely not be selfish to my offspring unless you are a selfish asshǒle.

If you are selfish, those who know you will not often be unselfish to you.

Yes, I do "agree that after death, the life one lived and the things he acquired when Alive are absolutely of no benefit to him anymore".

But only a selfish person lives for their own benefit. I may will all the cars I buy from you while I live to a charity that feeds the poor or schools the orphans long after I am dead. We are both living here now, and the words we are living may benefit those who read it long after we are both dead.

Some even die so others may live and benefit.
