    Firstly, thank you for the discussion.

    And my point is that you cant expect every culture act similary to 30’s/40’s white american nuclear family

    I must be poorly making my point. I am writing about something all humans do in all times and future. No healthy animal decides to hurt itself. Parents instinctively protect and care for their children. Parents often try to safeguard their children’s futures by making them healthy, educated and financially secure. This has nothing to do with a nuclear family. If my friend takes medicine to live, I want them to always have that medicine available to them. If I have a pet, I want them fat and warm in the winter. I don’t want to die. I want to live. These are all things humans consider, or they are brain dead.

    Please answer this question: Would you sacrifice yourself, and everyone you’ve loved, for your principles?

      I do enjoy discussions like these, but we are getting stuck.

      Im talking about the quote you said earlier, and how, while it is a strong quote, its not universal and it cannot be just tossed as is to the other situation. The quote critiques how people enjoying certain benefits are slow to change their opinion and behavior when people they seem less worthy are given chance to get some of those benefits for themself.

      And the situation we are talking is how much people are willing to take if there will be a trade war in future. These are two very different situations.

      If my friend needs medicine to live and they cant get it because some nation on the other side of the sea wants to subjucate us, it is only going to get me hate that nation harder.

      Please answer this question: Would you sacrifice yourself, and everyone you’ve loved, for your principles?

      By the way this is called a yes set. Its when you are asking questions where only reasonable answer for the other side is to agree with you or pick a response you have already decited. Ideally this leaves you in the position where you can keep building on that and getting other person agreeing with you turns arguments into discussions, even if it is scripted. Few of these and im gonna buy a car from you.

      You want a safe car for your family, right? Is it important to you, that your car is dependable? What matters to you more, the mileage or how it drives?

      This sedan was just waiting for you to come in!
