Current Events > Can someone who differs from you on most political opinions be a good person?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't really see why not necessarily.

In real life no one likes to pay taxes. Doesn't mean you hate anyone who thinks that we should pay taxes or even pay more than we do now.

taxes are important, and if people who want to cut services such as healthcare, welfare, and education so that they will pay less taxes, then I'm not losing any sleep over them deservedly getting called bad people

Of course. Im pretty moderate so if they vastly disagree with me they probably have a pretty extremist view, but even that doesn't necessarily make them a bad person

Anti-abortion is the main cynch. Hard for me to think someone is a good person who is anti-womens rights.

At a certain point, someone can be very nice, polite, loving, a family person, etc., but allowing and actually actively supporting politicians who have such horrible views is inexcusable.

Killing somebody isn't a right unless they're actively trying to kill you. So unless that baby will kill the mother by being born, you shouldn't be allowed to kill it.

No one should be able to tell women they have to keep babies that are the product of rape, but some people on CE do. I'll never consider people like that to be good

Yes.

the people I'm most worried about are the ones that act or seem to have the same beliefs as me because they could be lying to manipulate me or just "get along" with me for some unknown reason

Since I assume most of CE is left leaning, could you consider someone a good person who is: anti mimimum wage hike, pro guns, anti abortion, anti universal healthcare, for stronger illegal immigration laws/policies, for decreasing welfare programs.

Minimum wage keeps it where it is. Won't change a thing and you'll be upset about it again in a few months if it's raised. If you're terrible with money, you're terrible with money.

Guns are awesome. We need more.

Abortions are gross but knock yourself out.

LOL @ the United States government not bankrupting itself by providing healthcare for free for everyone. Take a gander out in rural Georgia and let me know how healthy these people are. They're not Canadians out skiing and riding bikes to work, I'ma tell you what.

Illegal is illegal. Follow the rules.

Welfare dis-incentivizes self sufficiency. People who grow up with parents who don't do anything end up not doing anything, because they've been raised by somebody who doesn't do anything. Science.

Lol imagine being this much of royal embarrassment of a human being

Killing babies makes you a better person than putting a kid up for adoption.

Didn't know that. Interesting.

Of course, Im not naive enough think someone who has different views than me cant be a good person, the idea just seems absurd to me

Supporting women's right to bodily autonomy makes you a better person than someone who would make a woman carry a life they didn't consent to making to term, yes.
