        Yes, it’s mine. You seem to be implying it isn’t yours. If you’re not a homo sapiens, what are you? Not rhino apparently. Anteater?

          At no point did I imply that, not that it’s remotely relevant to this argument. Awesome red herring.

          I guess we are done here. Go back to weeping for Florida or whatever.

            I have no idea why you would call it ‘your species’ if you aren’t a member of it, but since you are, it is noted that if you are ever the victim of a natural disaster, you will die without expecting any government aid.

              Even if I were a talking gazebo it wouldn’t undermine my argument that humans deserve their collective fate.

                As I said, it is noted that when you are dying in a natural disaster, you will not want any government aid.

                Unless you think you’re the exception from this collective fate.

                  Of course. Why would I be an exception? 80% of human beings are little more than orcs rapaciously consuming us into extinction. Not you, probably (maybe you’re a carless vegan?), but people like that are very very rare.

                    I would say that most people would be more empathic and sensible than to take joy in the idea of a huge amount of death since most people don’t think that there should be massive amounts of death. In fact, I would wager that most people don’t think that death is deserved in almost any case.

                    But even if they do think there’s a lot of reasons people deserve to die, most of them don’t, as you do, relish the idea of possibly millions of people dying in a disaster when those deaths could be prevented.
