If not, it should be obvious that what repulses me is certain comments stating how slavery would be better for everyone involved. Your comment would be vaild if my statement were: none should comment to this/the comments here repulse me. Alas, that's not the case. |
In order to discuss both sides of an argument you have to state opinions on both sides of the argument. Nobody is stating that they want slavery to exist, they are stating their opinion on the side of pro and anti slavery, if it were to exist, not stating they want it to exist. Discussions would be boring if you only talk about the side you agree with, and the discussion would go nowhere. You have to see the other side of an argument to understand the basis of the argument, good or bad.
Nobody is stating that they agree that slavery is good, they are saying that it could be better for everyone if it exists. Just because you state something could be economical doesn't mean they agree with it. I could say that the USA would be better off if half the population was killed and make a compelling argument on the benefits, but I don't want half the population to die.
My comment is valid, just because you don't want to discuss things that disgust you, doesn't mean others can't.
