Just an abused elephant killing people.

What they were answering

I wonder how you manage to "run my own worldwide telecommunications company" when you can't even read. I said*in the first sentence of my post*:

By stating you would never participate in those actions you implied that you were morally superior and in doing so indirectly condemned their actions.

Do you know what the word "implied" means? Clearly not. Allow me to explain. It does not mean that you state implicitly that you were moral superior. It means that the way you stated your preference to abstain from animal cruelty sounded as though you consider yourself to be moral superior to those who would not sacrifice their family's lives for the well being of an elephant.

Yes, your statement would be akin to saying you didn't like a color if you stated you preference for some colors as such:

I would abstain from wearing the color purple, even in the worst of times! I would be physically unable to wear the color purple, even if feeding my family relied upon it. There is always another color I could wear!

Now if I where to make this statement, It would be perfectly reasonable to assume that I am an idiot and that I consider wearing the color purple to be abhoralbe no matter the situation. It is not my tone that implies these two facts, it is the way I stated it and words I chose to use.

If you didn't wish to imply that you were moral superior (just so we're clear,…

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb

The implication of moral superiority is subjective you moron! It is subjective based upon your inference, not mine. There was no intentional implication on my part, thus my statement "Any implication otherwise is not intentional." You are the one binding moral implications to my statement regarding what I would and would not be able to do! Given the socialization and stance I take on the issue, I would not be able to do that action. That does not mean that in any way I am passing judgement on those that can! Quit projecting your moral conundrums on me and carry about your day.

Put out your beach fires properly, so I don't have to see my 3 year old niece's first day of vacation get ruined. These jerks just covered it with sand.

Replying to Pickledpaws · But it can't put out the fire... in my heart.

That's because the fire in your heart is a Class B. That requires Mountain Dew Code Red sprayed from a My Little Pony spray bottle.

Replying to 0Simkin · Wouldn't it just be erotic-asphyxiation? I thought the auto part meant it's a solo performance.

It means you get off to blocking off the intake of Fords.

What started as a tiny cut on my pinky soon escalated to this monstrosity before you within a matter of hours. Now I'll be spending a few days in the hospital getting IV antibiotics. Slightly NSFW.

Replying to dont_knockit · The speed of progression is downright scary. At least if you lose it, it's just your pinky. Sorry if that's a dim bright side, but you know it would be much worse if it were your
