Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: “A gentleman can settle the bill later”.

The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won’t lie.

So you are non responsive person who can’t leave the house and soils the bed. Okay.

Interestingly you haven’t answered my question. Hiw much actal contact you had with these people you don’t want to help? At leat have you seen them in real life? Because you are doing everything with your demagogue to hurt them.

It is the exact argument. You are holding up potential cure because it can be used for evil. While preaching that your way is the only way.

Let me guess you are anti abortion too.

What they bring is suffering. No one ever wishes for a non responsible child. No one wants their child to be the “special one”. No one wants all the hardship it brings. Even the proxy Munchausen prefers to have a functioning level so they don’t have to do the work. No one wants to be tested by a “greater power” (random gene selection) especially not the sick little being that Teoretically Could be cured but there are people like you who like to decide stuff for OTHERS. How much time do you spend at orphanage with special needs? How much contact do you have to sit on the high horse and try to be god? How much time and money do you spend on personally helping the kids? How many diapers did you change to get to this opinion?

Gene thereapy has a right to exist. And with everything else as humans, we will abuse it to the limit. The problem is not the cure but the mindset. And your pretentious preaching won’t bring conversation only suffering. You are not helping.

There shouldn’t be a debate. If it can be cured that’s great. You don’t need it don’t take it - but there are barely functioning people who can’t take care of themselves at all. They do need help.

Tho I honestly don’t think it can be cured.

Those who run don’t see it, those who love don’t mind it.

“Aki szalad nem látja, aki szeret nem bánja.”

Basically strangers don’t matter, your flaws wouldn’t stick out to them. And your loved ones will accept you as you are.

I gave a try to it and its fascinating so far. It’s not nailing me ino the seat more like stays in the corner and nags me from there. :)
The writing could be a bit better but I bet by the end it will be better, leveling up with the story. :D

I will put on the list, thank you! The title reminds me of the Innkeeper Chronicles from Ilona Andrews and that was really good.
Right now I’m reading Raine Benares Series from Lisa Shearin. It’s a fantasy and I believe about book 3 there is going to be some serious romancing coming up :)

Honestly if a book has 4.5 stars it could worth a try. I have my book ‘rules’ to avoid and there’s nothing wrong not wanting read something you have no interest. Personally I like romance but I hate 16-20 old angsty stuff or even the 25+ yo ‘i’m a virgin omg’ kind … so I feel your pain :)

Just use AI to upscale them. :D (Sorry I had to say it)
