 You must understand the weird logic of the left. To
 them life is priceless and should always be
 prioritised over property. They would literally let the
 statue of Liberty burn to save one person. Through
 inaction let one person starve? You monster, you
 literally murdered them.

stupid leftists and their belief in *checks notes* the intrinsic value of human life

Reblog if you would burn down the statue of liberty to save a life

Here’s the thing, though. If you asked a conservativeΒ β€œWould you let the statue of liberty burn to save one life?” they’d probably scoff and say no, it’s a national landmark, a treasure, a piece of too much historical importance to let it be destroyed for the sake of one measly life.Β 
But if you asked,Β β€œWould you let the statue of liberty burn in order to save your child? your spouse? someone you loved a great deal?” the tune abruptly changes. At the very least, there’s a hesitation. Even if they deny it, I’m willing to bet that gun to their head, the answer would beΒ β€œyes.”  
The basic problem here is that people have a hard time seeing outside their own sphere of influence, and empathizing beyond the few people who are right in front of them. You’ve got your immediate family, whom you love; your friends, your acquaintances, maybe to a certain degree the people who share a status with you (your religion, your race, etc.)–but beyond that? People aren’t real. They’re theoretical.Β 
But a national monument? That’s real. It stands for something. The value of a non-realized anonymous life that exists completely outside your sphere of influence is clearly worth less than something that represents freedom and prosperity to a whole nation, right?
People who think like this lack the compassion to realize that everyoneΒ is in someone’s immediate sphere of influence–that everyoneΒ is someone’s lover, or brother, or parent. Everyone means the world to someone. And it’s the absolute height of selfishness to assume that their lives don’t have value just because they don’t mean the world to you.Β 
P.S. I would let the statue of liberty burn to save a pigeon.Β

        Children, Dad, and Facts: dare-i-say-asexual
 Can we please be the generation that stops putting up with the family
 child molester? The grown uncle who dates teenage girls, the
 husband who makes uncomfortable comments about young women's
 clothing, or the cousin who raises red flags with their behavior
 towards children but no one wants to talk about all need to go
 Children, especially young women, are expected to "keep the family
 together" by not making a fuss over incredibly traumatic behavior
 Children don't deserve to suffer trauma for adults' feelings of
 togetherness. They're more worthy of protection than predators. A
 healthy family is not built on the backs of abuse survivors expected
 to live their lives in silence without justice, support, or protection

 don't limit your vigilance to men. female abusers almost never get
 caught, reported, or even spoken of. i never got help because
 everybody assumed that a mother was incapable of sexually abusing
 her own kids. nobody was looking out for me or my brothers and if
 they had been, they would have automatically suspected my dad
 who never lifted a finger to harm us. the nurturing gentle woman
 stereotype/gender role held in place by sexism allows abusers to get
 away with everything - don't buy into it and don't assume that women
 can't be abusers too
 root out every abuser in your family, even if
 they 're women.

        Angry Birds, Bad, and Bored: How to Study Likea
 Harvard Student
 Taken from Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld,
 daughter of the Tiger Mother
 1. Choose classes that interest you. That
 way studying doesn't feel like slave labor.
 If you don't want to learn, then I can't
 2. Make some friends. See steps 12, 13,
 General Principles
 3. Study less, but study better
 4. Avoid Autopilot Brain at all costs.
 5. Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your
 time
 6. Write it down.
 7 Suck it up, buckle down, get it done.
 Plan of Attack Phase I: Class
 8. Show up. Everything will make a lot
 more sense that way, and you will save
 yourself a lot of time in the long run.
 9. Take notes by hand. I don't know the
 science behind it, but doing anything by
 hand is a way of carving it into your
 memory. Also, if you get bored you will
 doodle, which is still a thousand times
 better than ending up on stumbleupon or
 something.
 Phase II: Study Time
 10. Get out of the library. The sheer fact
 of being in a library doesn't fill you with
 knowledge. Eight hours of Facebooking
 in the library is still eight hours of
 Facebooking. Also, people who bring
 food and blankets to the library and just
 stay there during finals week start to
 smell weird. Go home and bathe. You can
 quiz yourself while you wash your hair
 11. Do a little every day, but don't let it
 be your whole day. "This afternoon, I will
 0
 a problem set. Then, I will watch an
 episode of South Park and go to the
 gym" ALWAYS BEATS "Starting right
 now, I am going to read as much as I
 possibly can...oh wow, now it's midnight,
 I'm on page five, and my room reeks of
 ramen
 12. Give yourself incentive. There's
 function
 worse
 abyss
 study time. If you know you're going out
 in six hours, you're more likely to get
 something done.
 13. Allow friends to confiscate your
 phone when they catch you playing
 Angry Birds. Oh and if you think you need
 a break, you probably don't.
 Phase
 14. Stop highlighting. Underlining is
 supposed to keep you focused, but it's
 actually a one-way ticket to Autopilot
 Brain. You zone out, look down, and
 suddenly you have five pages of neon
 green that you don't remember reading
 Write notes in the margins instead.
 15. Do all your own work. You get nothing
 out of copying a problem set. It's also
 shady.
 16. Read as much as you can. No way
 around it. Stop trying to cheat with
 Sparknotes.
 17. Be a smart reader, not a robot (lol)
 Ask yourself: What is the author trying
 to prove? What is the logical
 progression of the argument? You can
 reading the introduction and conclusion
 of every chapter. Then, pick any two
 examples/anecdotes and commit them to
 memory (write them down). They will
 help you reconstruct the author's
 argument later on.
 18. Don't read everything, but
 understand everything that you read
 Better to have a deep understanding of a
 limited amount of material, than to have a
 vague understanding of an entire course.
 Once again: Vague is bad. Vague is a
 waste of your time
 19. Bullet points. For essays,
 Phase IV: Reading Period (Review Week)
 20. Once again: do not move into the
 library. Eat, sleep, and bathe
 21. If you don't understand it, it will
 definitely be on the exam. Solution
 tex
 22. Do all the practice problems. This
 one is totally tiger mom
 are
 of
 rote learning. Newsflash: even at great
 intellectual bastions like Harvard, you will
 be
 names and dates. To memorize
 effectively: stop reading your list over
 and over again. It doesn't work. Say it out
 loud, write it down. Remember how you
 made friends? Have them quiz you, then
 return the favor
 24. Again with the friends: ask them to
 listen while you explain a difficult
 concept to them. This forces you to
 articulate your understanding.
 Remember, vague is bad.
 25. Go for the big picture. Try to figure
 out where a specific concept fits into the
 course as a whole. This will help you tap
 into Big Themes- every class has Big
 Themes - which will streamline what you
 need to know. You can learn a million
 facts, but until you understand how they
 fit together, you're missing the point.
 V: Exam Day
 26. Crush exam. Get A.

 Phase II: Study Time
 10. Get out of the library. The sheer fact
 of being in a library doesn't fill you with
 knowledge. Eight hours of Facebooking
 in the library is still eight hours of
 Facebooking. Also, people who bring
 food and blankets to the library and just
 stay there during finals week start to
 smell weird. Go home and bathe. You can
 quiz yourself while you wash your hair
 11. Do a little every day, but don't let it
 be your whole day. "This afternoon, I will

 episode of South Park and go to the
 gym" ALWAYS BEATS "Starting right
 now, I am going to read as much as I
 possibly can...oh wow, now it's midnight,
 I'm on page five, and my room reeks of
 ramen

 study time. If you know you're going out
 in six hours, you're more likely to get
 something done.
 13. Allow friends to confiscate your
 phone when they catch you playing
 Angry Birds. Oh and if you think you need
 a break, you probably don't.
 Phase
 14. Stop highlighting. Underlining is
 supposed to keep you focused, but it's
 actually a one-way ticket to Autopilot
 Brain. You zone out, look down, and
 suddenly you have five pages of neon
 green that you don't remember reading
 Write notes in the margins instead.
 15. Do all your own work. You get nothing
 out of copying a problem set. It's also
 shady.
 16. Read as much as you can. No way
 around it. Stop trying to cheat with
 Sparknotes.
 17. Be a smart reader, not a robot (lol)
 Ask yourself: What is the author trying
 to prove? What is the logical
 progression of the argument? You can
 reading the introduction and conclusion
 of every chapter. Then, pick any two
 examples/anecdotes and commit them to
 memory (write them down). They will
 help you reconstruct the author's
 argument later on.
 18. Don't read everything, but
 understand everything that you read
 Better to have a deep understanding of a
 limited amount of material, than to have a
 vague understanding of an entire course.
 Once again: Vague is bad. Vague is a
 waste of your time
 19. Bullet points. For essays,

 20. Once again: do not move into the
 library. Eat, sleep, and bathe

 definitely be on the exam. Solution

 rote learning. Newsflash: even at great
 intellectual bastions like Harvard, you will
 be
 names and dates. To memorize
 effectively: stop reading your list over
 and over again. It doesn't work. Say it out
 loud, write it down. Remember how you
 made friends? Have them quiz you, then
 return the favor
 24. Again with the friends: ask them to
 listen while you explain a difficult
 concept to them. This forces you to
 articulate your understanding.
 Remember, vague is bad.
 25. Go for the big picture. Try to figure
 out where a specific concept fits into the
 course as a whole. This will help you tap
 into Big Themes- every class has Big
 Themes - which will streamline what you
 need to know. You can learn a million
 facts, but until you understand how they
 fit together, you're missing the point.

        Angry Birds, Bad, and Bored: How to Study Likea
 Harvard Student
 Taken from Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld,
 daughter of the Tiger Mother
 1. Choose classes that interest you. That
 way studying doesn't feel like slave labor.
 If you don't want to learn, then I can't
 2. Make some friends. See steps 12, 13,
 General Principles
 3. Study less, but study better
 4. Avoid Autopilot Brain at all costs.
 5. Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your
 time
 6. Write it down.
 7 Suck it up, buckle down, get it done.
 Plan of Attack Phase I: Class
 8. Show up. Everything will make a lot
 more sense that way, and you will save
 yourself a lot of time in the long run.
 9. Take notes by hand. I don't know the
 science behind it, but doing anything by
 hand is a way of carving it into your
 memory. Also, if you get bored you will
 doodle, which is still a thousand times
 better than ending up on stumbleupon or
 something.
