A new study showed a link between strong right-wing views and fear of disease and increased concern about hygiene.
The study showed that people who are more offended by bad odors are more likely to support authoritarian leaders, such as Donald Trump.
In the past, disgust at bad odors was important for survival. The scientists suggested that the disgust at unfamiliar odors may be linked to a desire to keep apart from "culturally unfamiliar" groups.
[...] In the new study, 160 people were rated on their aversion to bodily odours on a scale to one five and their responses compared to their political views. It found that each point higher on the disgust scale was associated with feeling 7.5 points more positive towards authoritarian leaders.
[...] It showed that people who were more disgusted by smells were also more likely to vote for Donald Trump than those who were less sensitive.

I do not, but unlike you, that doesn't mean I have no empathy at all.
I never mentioned nor implied "bangability". You brought it in from your own projection beginning with your very first post. It pissed me off enough to reply in the first place. Youth and beauty are intertwined. The end of a young life is tragedy because they had their whole life before them.
With your outlook on life, I'd be more concerned about keeping them out of prison: Conflating youth and beauty with "bangability", misplaced anger, jealousy, total lack of empathy toward others' misfortunes, depression, pessimism, lack of insight, poor judgment, projection. Parental influence on children sometimes works in ways you don't want.
Wow. I do hope you are under the care of a professional for your PTSD and whatever else you are suffering.
Dude, you need help. I am the one of us that is advocating empathy for people cut down early in their life and you are talking about grinding them up into Soylent. You are the one saying "She might have been a piece of shit and deserved it." If anyone looks at it objectively, it's pretty obvious which one of us judges their lives "to be unworthy" and which one doesn't. Don't project on me and "my generation" as you call it, for your lack of caring. It's pretty obvious who doesn't care.
If you do have kids, I certainly feel bad for their development and future. Their father must be a laugh riot to be around. Make sure you keep your opiates locked up at home. Don't want to make it too easy for them.

You seem genuinely pretty bothered. Don't let it ruin your day I think you sound like a creepy old man, it's not ok to call people sweet young things anymore (4real).
I'm distantly worried about all the things I talked about but across all this you should keep in mind I'm just talking shit and being contrarian. Maybe all this shit will come to pass and your kids will end up eating your corpse on soylent green wednesdays. Probably we'll get our shit together, we've done it before.
Why are you here though? It doesn't seem like you're a guy who spent years dealing with trolls, reading cDc, or laughing at penisbirds and hello.jpeg. This is a weird-named clone of a has-been web 1.0 forum and you seem rather facebook.
