After reading some liberal garbage on Ferguson I had a thought, why do humans as a whole believe that humans deserve life? In the grand scheme of things one's life does not have much effect on anything. For example if Hitler were killed sooner someone else would have risen to power and done the same shit. Or in the case of Brown, why do people feel that everybody, including people such as Brown that do not contribute anything positive to society, have the right to life? Just like freedom life isn't free.

TL/DR Why do people feel like everybody deserves to live.

They don't. Of course, saying that people don't "deserve" to live, isn't the same as saying it's okay to be killing them all willy-nilly.

Deserves's got nothin' to do with it.

One's life means nothing?  So I'm guessing you are in a mad rush to kill yourself?

 






From the Christian world view, human life is intrinsically valuable because it is made in the image of God.







From the Darwinist, I would say life is valuable because it furthers the species survival.  







In either philosophy, however, there are behaviors which, while not declaring one's life has no value, do declare that one's life must come to an end.

That wouldn't lead to a slippery slope of mass killings now would it?

to the OP

you see chaos in the human world.  Yup it is there.  All sorts of shit

look at mother nature for true chaos.  Even more wild ass shit that could be questioned as well.

our entire universe is chaos.  We don't realize just how lucky we truly are

Because humans make the rules.

It's simple self-preservation, murder is illegal because people don't want to be murdered.

Your right to life means nothing to a bear.

I was thinking about this recently.

Not if people deserve to live - but how much of other people's money does someone deserve to keep them alive.

A relative recently had a medical issue that took about $1M to fix. They had great insurance so it didn't cost them much out of pocket.

But what if someone else, without insurance, had the same problem? Do they deserve a million of tax payer's money to keep them alive?

Not everybody does deserve to live.  Michael Brown is one such case.

- You're born
- Your life belongs to you
- You can do what you want with it, so long as you don't violate anyone, else all bets are off
- Your life has whatever value you ascribe and impart to it. It's no one else's place to do that with regard to you. (Theirs belongs to them)
- At the end of it, you die

OP is in the military, getting high is not on his priority list. I just can't  wrap my head around why liberals believe Brown had every right to live, when the reality of the situation is he was a useless piece of shit.

I agree with you, I also believe that any species that was/would have eventually come to be somewhere in the universe would feel/have felt the same way.
