That's why I asked you what you meant by the statement above, BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEANT. Then you responded with "who exactly where you referring to?" So I answered that.
WHERE and WHEN did you ANSWER that question?
I think you MEANT to say here, that you RESPONDED to that question, because as far as I can ascertain you have CERTAINLY NEVER ANSWERED that ACTUAL question.

I was referring to criminals such as Hitler (as well as the bomber who endangered others by blowing himself up in the middle of a city block on Christmas day).
In any case, it seems we both agree that you empathize with criminals like Hitler and this bomber.
What do you mean, "it SEEMS we both agree that you empathize with criminal like ..."?
I VERY CLEARLY STATED that I empathize with EVERY human being. So, this OBVIOUSLY, and NOT SEEMINGLY, includes ALL, so called, "criminals".
Also, WHY EXACTLY was THAT bomber a, so called, "criminal"?
Was it because of that ONE marijuana charge/conviction or for some other reason?
He's a criminal because he blew up an entire city block, endangering others in the name of taking his life! That's pretty criminal, isn't it?
So, you will not empathize at all with this one in this situation but would you then empathize with this one if they blew them self up in an empty paddock?
Did that one warn others to get away because of what is about to occur?
That one is completely dead so whether it was criminal or not has NO REAL bearing on ANY thing. If one kills them self but does what you consider "endanger others", then is that, so called, "criminal", to you?

LOL Did you REALLY NOT READ when I have informed you, on a couple of occasions, that it appears that we use the 'empathize' word VERY DIFFERENTLY?
Empathy: the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner
That's what I mean by empathy, what do you mean by empathy?
I mean the same, and what can be CLEARLY SEEN is that by 'empathizing' with another one does NOT necessarily have to agree at all with what they are doing or have done.

Also, to me, IF EVERY one had True EMPATHY for EVERY one else, then ABSOLUTELY NO one would WANT to commit suicide in the first place.
First off, I empathize with people who aren't completely abhorrent criminals.
LOL Okay.
Obviously you do NOT have ANY True empathy skills AT ALL.

If they do abhorrent criminal actions, then I cease to empathize with them.
LOL Okay.
You OBVIOUSLY do NOT YET FULLY UNDERSTAND 'empathy', itself. But, this speaks for itself, as 'empathy' involves UNDERSTANDING, itself.

So what difference does it make if abhorrent criminals commit suicide?
But, as in the case is a PRIME EXAMPLE, and according to your own, so called, "logic", this person is NOT a, so called, "criminal" until AFTER they are COMPLETELY and UTTERLY blown up and DEAD.
What can ALSO be CLEARLY SEEN here is that it is ABHORRENTLY HORRIBLE and EXTREMELY JUDGMENTAL PEOPLE like 'YOU', "gary childress", WHY some other human beings do NOT want to continue living in this ABHORRENTLY HORRIBLE human being created 'world', ANYMORE.
It is because of people like 'you', "gary childress", and your COMPLETE lack of empathy and understanding, WHY some human beings end up wanting to kill themselves and others and WHY adults keep doing the wrong that they do.
In other words, it is because of your abhorrent WRONG behaviors that this 'world' is the way it is.

What difference does it make to all the good people in this world if I empathize with them but not with criminals?
Thank you for the ABSOLUTE BLINDNESS and IGNORANCE SHOWN here, by 'you'.
This is ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE of EXACTLY WHY the 'world' was in the ABSOLUTE MESS it was, in the days of when this was being written.
You just made the CLAIM that there are 'good people', now will you provide a definition for 'good people', and them provide examples of 'good' and 'bad' people?
By the way what difference it makes is 'you' are a 'PART OF THE PROBLEM', and thus thee 'CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM'. By your VERY OWN BEHAVIORS you are the 'bad person' CAUSING and CREATING the 'problems' of this 'world'.

In fact, what difference does it make to you if I don't empathize with such criminals as Hitler and this moron who committed suicide by blowing up an entire city block? Does it mean that much to you that I need to empathize with complete assholes?
You can empathize with assholes' if you like. But if you had ANY empathy OR understanding at all, then you would ALREADY KNOW that 'assholes' are NOT human beings with thoughts AND emotions.
By the way, if you still have NOT YET WORKED IT OUT, IF you did learn HOW TO have ACTUAL EMPATHY, then people would NOT grow up to do what you call "criminal" acts. This is the DIFFERENCE it would ACTUALLY MAKE in the 'world'.
But you are FREE to continue on with your EXTREMELY JUDGMENTAL and UNEMPHATIC ways as much as you. You will, however, just continue to get what you sow, which is what you claim here you DO NOT WANT.
