This is where you are excluding yourself from the human community.
'Not at all a bad idea, that. Exactly what has the so-called "human
community" ever done for me? It has done more than a few highly
objectionable, even potentially lethal things to me but nothing I can
recall at the moment for me.
Please recall for us what things it has ever done for you. (Before you
respond, remember a loving friend or relative, or even a decent stranger
does not constitute the "human community".)
Face it.
Why should I? Because you say so?
Live with it.
Why should I? Because you say so?
*We* will be fine, anyway.
Well Bully for you. Who is "we", anyway? The "human community"? Do
you fail to realize that includes people like Adolf Hitler, Charles
Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Osama Bin Laden, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump?
I absolutely do wish to be excluded from any group containing any of
them or anyone anything like them. Feel free yourself to be considered
in the same breath as they. Do not expect me to respect them, certainly
not just because you do.
