    The left has long lost any authority over defining the ethics and morals of society, as far as I’m concerned.

        Didn’t know I was the only non-lefty in existence! Damn. Now I feel special. (I am a lefty though so …figure that out.)

          You have long lost any authority over defining the ethics and morals of society, as far you are concerned. Figured it out.

              Ok, but I fail to see the reasoning behind your comment then.

              Agree or not whether there’s an ethical way to consume HP, you believe your opinion on the matter is not morally or ethically authoritative.

              I don’t think anyone would have suggested otherwise… There isn’t a comment here saying “but what does minorkeys think”.

              Ok. You believe your opinion isn’t ethically or morally authoritive, but it could still have merit.

      I’m guessing the people that you consider to be the “left” are who people on the left consider to be the “right”. This isn’t a left/right ideological issue. People should be allowed opinions and we should each be allowed to agree or disagree, in whole or in part, with the opinions of others. Through those opinions, agreements, and disagreements we should each form our own morals.

      We lose our ethics and our society when we stop listening to each other’s opinions and morals and instead dismiss each other because they are not from “our side”.

        Guess we’re losing our society then because the left and right definitely refuse to listen to each other.

          No, one side has been trying to explain 1+1 equals 2. The other keeps shouting about the DOW being at 50.000 and aliens are demons.

          They are not equal. Like… At all.

              Because you do not want to hear, does not mean the left is wrong.

              And yes in that case, telling you the facts sounds like dictation.

                  Ah! but that’s the fun part: Facts don’t care about your politics… That’s why they are facts. But you are correct if you feel facts seem to always side with the left…

                    They are facts because they don’t care? That makes just as much sense as them not caring about feelings. Facts don’t have cares.

      Yeah the right might just be raping a few children here and there, but the left has the audacity to tell me that paying transphobes is bad.
