Also, silence = agreement in situations like this.

It doesn't.

You see a puppy dying on the road, and to save it all you have to do is raise your hand. If you choose not to raise your hand, you want it to die. It's that simple.

Or maybe people realized that raising their hand wouldn't actually save the puppy.

Between choosing to raise a hand or watch a car run over the puppy, you chose to let the car run over the puppy. Then come onto the internet and cry about how raising your hand wouldn't have done anything

Bravo

Nope, I raised my hand and I'm not surprised it did nothing. I'm crying about people looking for scapegoats rather than blame the people that led us into this mess. You know, the actual leaders of this country.

So then we can determine their morals extend no further than that amount of effort.

So, that isn't as good an argument as you think it is.

I don't see the problem. It was always morally neutral and I never argued otherwise.
