So Impala, do you believe that all people born into a slave owning family believed in slavery? Because it seems to be unbelievable to you that that's possible.
Typically, empathetic people would be against any kind of injustice done to anything or anyone else. It wouldn't matter if "everyone was doing it". Just as there are people who were born into strict christian families yet grow up to not support that kind of belief. --------------------  QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Nov 16 2007, 09:22 PM)  |

But why is an empathetic person empathetic? It's because of their life experiences and upbringing. Not the brain cells they were born with. And no I'm not saying it would be impossible for the person in question to be against slavery, just highly improbable. If it was commonplace to think against the grain, slavery as an institution would not have lasted for thousands of years. |

If it was commonplace to think against the grain, slavery as an institution would not have lasted for thousands of years. So you're telling me it was improbable that germans during nazi germany helped jews escape during a time period when it seemed everyone in germany wanted them dead? Because it was definitely "going against the grain" as you said and was punishable by death for doing something like that, yet there hundreds of books written about people who did anyway. There were plenty of people who helped slaves also. History has always had a group of people who resisted the norm. And it was usually the minority that did the right thing. But then again, the intelligent amongst the sheep have always been a minority. *Just a note: Why would you say this: "But why is an empathetic person empathetic? It's because of their life experiences and upbringing. Not the brain cells they were born with. " after I specifically name an example where belief was different than upbringing????????????question fucking mark jesus holy christ. And this is why I'm not going to seriously argue with you over the internet. I'd rather call you names. -------------------- QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Nov 16 2007, 09:22 PM) |
