This comment is like if someone said they watched their parents burned alive in a house fire and it changed the person for life, and someone else replied "yeah, but think about the other side, my brother is a firefighter and he works so hard..." Sure, let's minimize the first thing and talk about something different.

No, it isn't like that because the discussion is regarding the same environment. within your analogy, both discussions would have to be about parents. So the one person provides the stated example of watching their parents burn to death while the other explains that their parents locked them in a 48" x 48" x 48" cage and tortured the person for 18 years. (I'm going very extreme here to demonstrate the point.)
- agumonkey 7y agononono I didn't meant to put 'both sides' on the same level, especially in the streets.
- matz1 7y agoThat's the point, reading alternative perspective open up my mind.
- adventskalender 7y agoNo it is not nearly at the same level as "parents burnt alive".
