What are you doing to help prevent those deaths? I'll be the first to admit I'm not doing enough, but I wouldn't use that in an argument.

I feel that you already have your mind set, so there is no debate. I appreciate your time given to comment, but this debate is going no where. But to throw one last word in, you really care a lot for someone without any fucks.

It's because I believe that "we" - culturally, socially - have limited fucks to allocate. Not just me personally. Calling this out as irrelevant encourages people to save their fucks for what matters.
