Or the ears will unblock enough.Reason is a universal language, your ears are just blocked.
Soon our voices will be loud enough.

Yeah, actually.
Most people are assholes, and I have been blessed or cursed to not happen to be one of them.
THE TRUTH IS, THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT WRONG!!!
And that it never has been, nor never will be wrong, regardless of how many ignoridiots there are who happen to believe otherwise.
Whose tripe, whose premise?So much tripe.
So very much.
Not your fault. Your premise is poorly planted.
See I don't agree with this, I think everyone including myself and you has been an asshole at some point in their lives (life?) but at the same time those people who are assholes most of the time have not been an asshole. Sure some people are asshole 99.99999% while their alive.
And I really don't care what your morals are, and if they're not the same as mine. I don't care. The point is I don't care what you believe as long as you treat everyone with the amount of respect they deserve, even if they were raised different then you and therefore might have different morals then you. You can try to get them to see things from your side, but don't try to change them. I love when someone who is totally different then myself is able to let me see things from their point of view.
Yeah but treating people with respect is just another value that others may not share.
This is off topic, and I am not in the mood to provide you with an autobiographical dissertation as to why I believe in certain universal moral truths.
Moral relativity contradicts itself. You'll first have to throw off your humanity to become a true relativist.True. sad, but true. very true
Wrong, no. Weird, yes. To me homosexuality is similar to affection for Rob Schneider movies. Whatever works for you, just don't expect everyone to get all giddy over your taste.THE TRUTH IS, THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT WRONG!!!

It doesn't deserve much intellectual attention.
Self-empowering, sense of safety?!?!?!??!We've already been off topic for a while.
There are some things that appear to be good to most people. Following a sense of good on that premise would be Fe.
I try to satisfy every part of my mind with my morals. My Ti, Te, Fi, and Fe, and in their own strange way, my perception, too. But even my moral code is one that I must admit is subjective. It's pragmatic, utilitarian, and pluralistic, and still subjective!
Can you bring me a brick of moral good?
Can you write me an a equation that proves morality?
I know why a person would want to think that their moral code was the truth. It's obviously self-empowering, and provides a sense of safety. But it's niceness doesn't make it the objective truth.

You couldn't be more wrong buddy, my moral code, in effect, has been a primary source of many years and instances of deep sadness, disappointment, disillusionment and, of course, suffering.

Don't give me that bollocks.
The truth, i.e. reality, i.e. that which exists, abstract though it may at times be, does not "become" true when proven, but rather is rationally proven to be true, which, it always happened to be.
And, um, can you bring me a brick of love or write me an equation that proves its existence?
No, you cannot.
Sometimes I really have a hard time calming down NF's, or F's in general. Saying "chill out" or "calm down" certainly hasn't worked well, neither does using logic sometimes, but I have used cold hard logic to calm people down before. Do I try talking more slowly and in a soft voice, maybe I'm talking to fast?
I argue with people a lot and with NF guys this is usually what can set them off, that or I'll make a joke and they get offended. And with girls, if they are crying, I am rendered completely useless no matter what I say it seems. It's like they have already made the decision they are going to cry and there is nothing I can do.
The answer is in your avatar. Get them to repeat a series of numbers--a telephone number, a date, something like that. It engages sequential processing functions in the left brain; emotion is generally a result of right brain activity.
