Indeed. Most people I've talked to who have such views think quite a lot about that because it makes them uncomfortable. Myself included.

That's a telling point. Yet, I still feel uncomfortable with the idea.

Yes I think it would make most people uncomfortable

Your counter argument is that this implies uncomfortable things about our social structure?

I always wonder what exactly makes you/people like you uncomfortable about it? Serious question.

Because it makes you uncomfortable? Or because you have reason to believe otherwise?

I think what is making people uncomfortable is the realization it's always been policy.

"nobody has to learn to get comfortable with something they find objectionable."

Do you really believe that? Think about where that goes.

Perhaps modern life allows the issues to be explored honestly and openly, and that makes you uncomfortable.

What's uncomfortable about it? Good people will have different opinions than you on controversial issues. Understanding that is the cornerstone of a tolerant liberal society.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

“Disgusted and uncomfortable” with a specific person's behavior or by the idea itself?

jstewartmobile | karma 2448 | avg karma 1.51 · | 2020-03-14 19:18:01

I think there's a little more to it than that, but just a little...

A most uncomfortable truth!

I understand why you are saying this, but one should not be made uncomfortable by reality. That may be the case for some, but it is easier to change mindset than it is to alter reality.

I'm not sure it is. There are disimilarities of course, but there are enough similarities to support the point they were making. That it makes you uncomfortable doesn't invalidate that.

I would argue you see that uncomfortably often

kopite | karma 12 | avg karma 2.4 · | 2018-12-06 13:05:06

This is true to the level that most people are not comfortable accepting.

bart_spoon | karma 2787 | avg karma 2.79 · | 2021-08-14 10:18:20

Why is it disturbing? Can both not be true?

DangitBobby | karma 4778 | avg karma 1.92 · | 2021-06-13 18:51:26+00:00

It is supremely uncomfortable inside some people's heads.

delluminatus | karma 1046 | avg karma 2.64 · | 2012-07-31 11:40:46

I see -- I can understand how that might be a concern. I'm not sure it's really a valid moral issue, but I can certainly imagine it bothering people.
