If someone said I should die because I'm an aspie, I wouldn't consider it a personal attack. I would agree.
If I was offered free euthanasia, I would accept it, because I'll probably never contribute to society and I have nothing to live for.

It doesn't matter what you consider it, it's still a personal attack. You can say whatever you want and people are then free to judge you or exclude you. We have plenty of freedom of expression. It just seems people don't like your views and they're expressing it.

I don't think he's trolling around, he's just very negative.

Isn't looking for negative attention trollish behaviour?

He knows that advocating for the euthanasia of disabled or "useless" people with get him negative replies, he's admitted that's what happened on Facebook.

I'm not trolling, I truly believe in what I said. I wanted to know if anybody else thinks the same way.

It's called eugenics. Yes some people agree. You know a lot of them are called neo-nazis or skinheads.

I said that he knows from prior experience on Facebook that advocating for the euthanasia of people with Down syndrome got him negative replies, yet he is doing the same thing here. I'm assuming he is capable of transferring that acquired knowledge to this context and is capable of expecting a similar response here.

Yeah, but wouldn't it be useful to kill people who can't and don't contribute society? I call this utilitarian genocide.

Werent you the guy who said on another thread that you "never had a job" in your life?

Sounds like your advocating euthanizing yourself!

I am sure the above mentioned groups even have forums dedicated to talking about who they think should be 'euthanized'.

Of course it's legal, but people don't tolerate it. That's the problem.
I didn't target anyone for my hate speech and I didn't harass anyone with it. I simply stated my opinion and it was enough to enrage people.
It's OK to be a Communist, Neo-Nazi or whatever, so long as you don't bother anyone.

Counter speech and criticism is an essential part of free speech.

You can live a quite peaceful life OR you can act like an a**hole in public...

But, sunshine, you CANNOT do both.

Enough about eugenics, now let's put this thread back on track before it gets locked.
Don't you hate it when you attack someone's religion and believers tell you that you will burn in hell for eternity? I often read Facebook pages that satirize religion(mainly Christianity). The admins of those pages often receive aggressive messages from Christians. In the past centuries, atheists were burnt alive simply for being non-believers, and now Christians have the audacity to say that their religion deserves respect.
In the US, atheists get harassed and have their property stolen/destroyed despite being quiet about religion. School students who refuse to say the pledge are expelled from the school and kicked out from their homes. Oddly enough, people with other religions are respected.
Religion deserves all the criticism and mockery in the world.
