Are some people's lives worth more than others? (Page 2)

[Phillip_Pinto]

Yes. Would u say that Hitler is worth the same as a new born? I certainly wouldn't.

[Xlink]

To some people they say yeah

[Phillip_Pinto]

Well... I would say those people are a waste of space

[Tslaveee]

No but I’d say Hitler is worth more than Stalin or Xao

[Tslaveee]

Mao * wtf

[Phillip_Pinto]

Xaomi

[aialex]

Are you talking insurance? Then they worth more dead.

[elduderinosupreme]

It's a very gray question. There is no right or wrong answer. Steve jobs life was worth a lot because if his followers.

[Tslaveee]

Steve Jobs life wasn’t worth much considering an Apple iPhone product drops annually. Meaning his team not he himself create and expand on the technology he’s just there to claim credit for work

[Giggletr0n]

@Tslaveee you realise Steve Jobs is dead right?

[Tslaveee]

@Giggletr0n way 2 brake da knews

[Liam_Hayden]

Of course.. I would guess that the life of every person reading this is worth more than that of Richard Allen Davis and scores of other degenerates.

[Unit1]

In fact there is the so called net worth of a human being, which equals to assets minus liabilities. There's your official value as a human being. 🤷

[front2back]

They shouldn't be, but they are.
Throughout history, some humans were considered much more expendable than others, for various reasons.

[Swat_]

Honestly no human being has any worth. Wether we attach more value to someone is something we decide. To nature nothing has worth.

[call_me_scar]

Yeah sure, given the choice between killing 1 cancer doctor or killing all members of the kkk I'd kill all the members of the kkk

[kestrelkil]

So the doctor who saves lives in an er vs pedophile, yeah the doctor life is worth more. One adds while one subtracts. But 2 people just living no difference

[cth96190]

Yes, some lives are worth more than others.
I base that worth on race and intelligence.

[Giggletr0n]

So you must be worth about $2 then

[Deathraider]

Perhaps. I mean we like to think that we treat everyone perfectly equal, but if we are to be completely realistic, no we don’t.

[Twenty2]

Depends how you value life. Should everyone get love? Yes. Should everyone get respect? Yes. But in what proportion that's the main question.

[kamalravi25]

No i believe the value of everyone's life is same.

[winterfox10]

Yes. There are definitely certain lives that are worth more than others.

[Mnays]

Yes for example Trump, his life is waaaay less worth than mine, or yours :D

[SexyAshh]

People like you is why we keep the illegal immigrants out. Congrats👍😘

[Mnays]

Oh you think you keep people out in fact I live in Europe I'm a European and if someone paid me 100. 000euros monthly still wouldn't want to live in USA. I have free education, free health care, my taxes don't go to military most importantly I have peace

[Mnays]

I meant here his life is less worthy, that was an irony as I see many people didn't get it here. Trump acts in a way that other peoples lives matter less than Americans, so that was my point.

[SexyAshh]

He acts in a way to keep trash out!. Not to mention our tax dollars pay for the dumbass immigrants!. Why do we have to work and they get all their shit for free? Come on, research before you talk through your ass

[Mnays]

Immigrants clean out your trash, work for you and get paid what they deserve. You call them trash because that's how they teach you to disrespect powerless live human beings over others. God Im thankful you didn't make me born there, I'm thankful I will never be citizen of that inhumane country! You people are so blind that you can't see what your neighbor Canada does as miracles..

[SexyAshh]

Yeah we’re so blind. Lets just let anyone in with no background checks. Lets spread disease and pay all their college and healthcare! So smart. European joke. You are the reason we filter❤️

[adamski24]

Yes for arrogant rich fuckwits like me who look down on the general public.
But I do put money back in the community

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. Charles Manson and people like him their life has no value compare to a decent human being in society.

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

I thought you were a Christian?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@HungLikeAHorsefly: And? I have scriptures to back up my point.

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

I'd be interested in knowing which ones those are.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@HungLikeAHorsefly:

Proverbs 6:12-15:

A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
He winks with his eyes,
He shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
Perversity is in his heart,
He devises evil continually,
He sows discord.

Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly;
Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Thegayest31: Yeah, because I speak out against perversion as LGBT and abortions, huh? Get out of here.

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy He might be referring to

James 1:26
"If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless."

or James 4:11-12
"Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?"

Or maybe he's just referring to your unique ability to cherry pick the Bible, pretend like it's literal and then go about criticizing others for your imagined offenses.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@HungLikeAHorsefly: Notice the word "brother" James was writing to Christians as the beginning of the letter is being address to Christians.

This dude in the comment isn't my brother in the faith. The Bible teaches we as Christinans should expose sin.

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy What about 1 Corinthians 5:12-13?

"For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. 'Purge the evil person from among you.'"

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@HungLikeAHorsefly: Yeah, you are right. Christians ought not judge non Christians; God will handle them. I was just saying Christians ought to speak out against evil and sin and expose it.

[OfDeath]

In terms of fiscal consequences, yes. In the great scheme of things? No.

[SAVAGEDANK]

1 life is equivalent too 1 life. we are all worthless in someone's eyes

[Juxtapose]

Yeah. To me, my life > all others.

If we're being real, almost everyone is just as selfish.

[YHL6965]

Yes, a terrorist or pedophile's life is worth less than dirt to me.

[Jamie05rhs]

Good point.

[Paul09]

Yes definitely. Too many a-holes in the world, they are worth nothing.

[Paul09]

2 a-holes did not like my post lol. See, worthless.

[_Jay_]

Yes. A doctor in good health is obviously worth more than a jobless person in worse health. It doesn't matter if I have emotional ties to the person of less worth. I will still choose healthy doctor's life over the other's.

[Desconhecida]

So you're saying we matter for what we do and not for who we are? So a psycho doctor beats a honest unemployed person?

[JamesRandiDebates]

Yes. The life of a productive member of society is worth more than that of a parasite.

[WalmartFlipFlop]

Yes but it’s not money or anything like that it’s personality.

[name_is_eric]

"Some are more equal than others", yes.
A nurse is more important than a bum.

[Slim57]

Yeah. Some people actually live for the betternment of others while others live at the expense of others.

[CrispyTater35]

That all depends on you. Hitler for example. He was married. Im sure his wife loved him. But look at the worldview

[Paris13]

We al Equal in God's Eyes. xx

[Cap_T]

Nope all life of the innocent matters

[GraveDoll]

*shrugs*

probably who knows anymore.

[BCA6010]

On paper, no.

In reality, absolutely.

[lollyacctwo]

No, everyone is worth the same.

[Prof_Don]

In a societal sense, yes.

[Stan_Control_]

Yes. But everyone refuses to believe that.

[taleswapper]

Worth more to who? Worth is subjective...

[chunlilovesvega]

depends on where you are born geology is destiny

[Elia_Mason_Garofano]

For this sick society, yes.

To me?
I'm a weirdo.

[Nik1hil]

Yes some peoples life are more than others

[Riddler1412]

In theory no.
In reality, sadly, yes.

[Reach500]

Probably not in God's eyes

[AtramentalIvory]

Nope. All people's lives matter the same.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

So its the same if a newly born baby dies or a rapist is shot?

[AtramentalIvory]

Nope. All people's lives matter the same, but they affect the world differently when they end.

When a newborn dies, its family mourns. When a rapist (adult or young adult or older child) dies, their friends and family mourn. The rapist has reached more people in their life, therefore affecting more people when they die. When a newborn dies, the family or close family friends will be affected, but not as many people as were affected by the rapist.

The ending of the newborn infant's life affected the world less than the life of the rapist (generalization, but generally true).

[genericname85]

worth is always in the eye of the beholder.

[Hawky_]

Yes... its a hard truth

[motownplayer2000]

The wealthy and the government seem to think so...

[scooogy]

fate doesn't define worthiness.

[G_oogle_Y_i_ndians_r]

Just like your life is more important than chicken

[AJollyOlTime]

But we are comparing people with people, not a human and a chicken

[G_oogle_Y_i_ndians_r]

@AJollyOlTime I don't care. Now think about what I told you. Why do we kill innocent lives like chicken

[SuccessfulHornDog]

But chickens are delicious

[G_oogle_Y_i_ndians_r]

@SuccessfulHornDog so is your life delicious for others too and you thus get less importance.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

That doesn't make any sense

[bamesjond0069]

Yes. Its measured by net worth.

[Glen68]

Pedophiles and rapeist have no value in my eyes

[Hawkman]

Entirely depends on the context.

[JosyJosy]

Yes easily

[ZeussLightningBolt]

In my opinion, YES

[RoyalFlushAce]

Anyone in particular?

[up_64]

Obviously.

[AnimeThot]

Yes.

[shawnmendrek]

Lol...

[CT_CD]

Yeah

[Tslaveee]

Yes.

[Joker_]

Yeah

[skeetskeetskeet]

Fuck yes they are

[bklynbadboy1]

We are all equal

[Cheetah23]

Is the life of a pedophile of equal value to an innocent child's?
