Its a shame that people with views such as yourself end up damaging the cause of people in this world who really need help by lumping them in with second rate human beings who deserve all the punishment that they are getting and then some.

You have already amply demonstrated them in this thread.
And I can't really see I will be of any help to you, either.

If the answer is yes I would appreciate it if you could please explain/justify your answer for my benefit.
On the other hand you could just drop the tired old trick of trying to win a debate by implying that your opponent is in some way slightly "impaired" in their judgement as the result of a personal flaw.
Thanks in advance

You won't make any progress until you step away from the denial.
But an NG is probably not the place to do it!
