The main difference between empathy and compassion is that empathy entails an attempt to understand the context of another while compassion has no such requirement.
Baloney. Compassion as Jesus and His Apostles would have modeled it already entailed empathy as one nuanced aspect of its expression.
I just told you we've seen it. I suggest you do somw searches on this site. There are loads of links to this. Just cause you didn't see it in your school as a volunteer doeant mean its not happening anywhere. And this NEA OP is just a minor piece of evidence of it.
I Responded to that. It no point then or in future posts did we discuss am agreement with condemnation regarding anger or whatever you were trying to put into my mouth as agreeing with you. You should stop doing that.
At least at a rate of 35%. Which is quite often. Thats a minimum because a lot of abusers are never caught and not all of them would admit to being abused.
Nope, there is information out there that says that kids can turn to homosexuality after abuse.
Nonsense its a perversion. They are acting out sexual fantasies and are trying to get kids involved in their perversion.
I'm really not sure what the exact verbiage is in latin (nor translations of their English equivalents) so I'm not going to be so bold as to assume what you do here.
"BARELY distinct" but yes, I agree.
I'm sorry. I'm not sure I understand what you're advocating for here and how it's different than empathy.
or compassion
I don't think anyone anywhere is advocating for people to ONLY show "empathy" so I'm not sure what you're arguing here.
Queer is a verb now?
Actually a couple of areas being studied today with regards to the dramatic increase in children questioning their gender are social transition and social contagion. Their exposure to both is suggested to contribute tremendously to kids questioning their gender. This probably accounts for the large number of children which their gender questioning resolves by their late teens or early twenties.
Sexual identify and gender are different. I agree 100% with gender questioning.
I had a feeling you were speaking to that as a wholistic position....and to that I agree.
Thank you actually. I know we've disagreed a lot but it's a surprisingly HUGE gut punch to feel like a 2nd class citizen in North America....and it seems strange that it would happen to a straight, white, male (but I guess I'm in a girly profession). And it's worse when some of my fellow citizens agree I don't deserve the same constitutional protections as they receive.
You are discounting the problem of the social pressures to conform that kids are experiencing today in both their school environment and social media to the point that some studies are even calling it a normal part of exploration. Its sad really.
Nice! Thanks!
We went on strike because classroom conditions in Alberta are getting really bad (This government is trying to push toward privatizing because...that's what they do). Our province is the only one that has no limits on class sizes (though one has "Recommendations"). They actively create funding models that UNDER fund growing school boards and they stopped monitoring class size. We were striking for 3 weeks.
