Usually compassion is not a limitless resource


Reasons to agree:

  1. When you give money to try and help ex-cons get a job, someone else will not get that job. Maybe they will get another job, but at least some of the times the person that didn't get the job needed it more. 

  2. Even your ability to be kind is a resource. Maybe not little things like saying thank you, and stuff, but everyone has limited time in a day. 

  3. You can show compassion, but when you are in debt, your only responsibility is to get out of debt. 


Reasons to disagree:

  1. Sometimes you can show compassion, when it doesn't involve money, that helps people, but won't hurt anyone else. 


Probable interest of those who agree:


  1. They agree with the argument, outside of any interest or alterior motivation (30%)

  2. Confirmation bias (you decide that you don't like Obama, and so this becomes the prism that you see him. People always root for the home team, because over time they start to show interest, and then each new story tells them they were correct. When the other team acts badly, you get mad. When your team acts badly, you feel justified. You continue to identify with Obama, because you once did). 

  3. Your a Republican. He is on the other team. He is the enemy. 

  4. Party Affiliation Group-ism (Republican)

  5. Racism.

  6. Political laziness & issue crossover (15%)


Probable interest of those who disagree:

  1. They agree with the argument, outside of any interest or alterior motivation (30%)

  2. Pro black racial preference

  3. Liberal guilt (environment).

  4. Liberal guilt (race)

  5. Party Affiliation Group-ism (Democratic)

  6. The desire to promote more positive role models for our black youth

  7. Self Interest.

  8. Political laziness & issue crossover (15%)
