Here’s an idea: don’t project your values or idea of worth on what other people choose to do with their life. You’re not as righteous as you may think you are, I guarantee it.

Unless you're a moral relativist, why shouldn't I do this? I find this entire attitude baffling.

If you went around assassinating people to make a living, I think I would be fine in saying that you're an asshole, no?

That's pure gold! I'm putting that one in my notes!

But to play devil's advocate: Well, if you go empirical on this, then what the heck else is the Internet for, aside from porn!?

Not sure if it's intentional, but that's an interesting twist to "this statement is false".
