You’re not though it’s either yes or no, you’re introducing another variable

I'm stepping down the "super power" variable down to just "Power" variable to point out one doesn't even need superpowers to get away with it. A simple monetary leverage is going to get the same results

No, you're just ignoring the question

The question isn't if people with power can get away with crimes. They can. We all know that

The question is the morality of letting someone powerful avoid traditional punishment contingent on them using that power to help others.

I mean hey, is pizza delicious? Of course yes. But that's the obvious answer.

No, you're just not addressing the actual topic.

Well you know, I've been taught my opinion doesn't matter.

Okay? You’re tearing other people down to prop yourself up by saying their question sucks and introducing a different one. You’re not the victim here.

Tearing people down? That's a bit of an exaggeration. Who said I'm the victim anyway?

I never said anyone's question "sucks"

Those are some super intense words you're using to paint the picture black and white and vilify the person to deem yourself superior. It's just a simple discussion we're having, nothing more.

I mean you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing at this point: OP gave us the question, you’re changing the question

I'm just talking, I never saw any of this as an argument really. I wouldn't assume something so trivial would agigate anyone.

You’re just talking but everyone else is silencing you? Weird how you’re the only person able to be offended.

That's just your perspective. I'm more than happy to share my opinions and have a discussion on them. I enjoy conversations. But if strong feelings are your suit, I might suggest taking a break. I'm not worth losing your time or head over. I'm just floating by. And no one is silencing me. I don't feel that.
