I've expected for people to formulate an interesting, persuasive counter argument. That's how you advance a conversation. You don't advance the discussion by ad hominem remarks or ignoring the argument like some people have done.
- _Microft 5y agoThere was no argument that could have been countered. You stated the opinion that you have not heard any argument yet that suffering actually should be minimized but did not list any of these arguments much less explained why you did not find them convincing. There was nothing anyone could possibly have debated in a reasonable way.
- amusedcyclist 5y agoYou wrote down a truly idiotic thought with no argument or justification whatsoever and you expect people to take you seriously, where did you learn to be so brave and clever.
