Negative: Making the minority more powerful is so destructive. Then it becomes a smaller portion representing the larger, or the parts representing each other. Making it so that difference that matter don't is not always the best. There is a reason more people think murder is wrong while cannables are in the minority. Not harming the minority is the goal, but to go beyond that and to empower them to a degree then can fight the majority and overrule common sense and morality is not a good thing is counterproductive.

I am hoping that I misunderstood what you said here. Unfortunately, the way some of the sentences are composed makes it difficult to know if what I'm reading is what you mean. Here is what I've gathered from this post: It's good to help minorities, but it's wrong to completely abolish the differences between people so that they no longer cause problems. It's wrong to empower minorities because then they can fight the majority, and in doing so over rule common sense and whatever your standard of morality is.
Is this correct, or did I completely misread the intended message behind your post?
Edit:
Positive: Working out to become healthy.
Negative: Hurting your shoulder in such a way that you can't work out. =(

| Sort of, basically giving the minority more power than the majority. I feel it is on par with dictator ships (one person) or oligarchies and such. (small groups)
I am sort of a Utilitarian, and try to do the best for the many. So in doing the best for a small amount, I feel that it's negative effects on the many throw off the balance. If this makes sense, if not, just default to my first statement above.
Positive: Thinking things through
Negative: Overthinking yourself into perpetual indecisiveness.

Negative: Not taking in account of the differences between people, particularly their heritage and past experiences.

| .gif) Today, this morning, by some reason, I'm glad I have a job. I look around myself and see lots of people in my age whom struggle to find a job and get depressed and so on, and so forth. Usually I'm agiteted by the fact that I have to work, and that I work with people (which I'd prefer not to), but today I'm happy about it. I find myself a lucky sport.
 Bad music. People ask me now and then what kind of music I like. It's hard for me to say just "rock" or "60's" or something like that, as if my flavour belong to a certain folder in a file cabinet. Sure, I can name drop the bands and artists that I like... Hakwind, The Smiths, Black Sabbath, Supertramp, etc., but I like saying that I just like "good" music. I'm generally more into specific songs than groups or genres. With that said, I hate bad music, and there's lots of it. At the same time, makes it easier to feel good about saying: "I like good music."

| Good: I have a birthday party next weekend, and this girl I like will be coming.
Bad: I'm too shy to ask her out. She might be bringing some booze, so I might go that route, despite never going that route before.

| I'm happy for you and all that, Neo. Hope it all goes well for you.
Birthday next week... means that you're a cancer... (haven't we spoken about such matters before?)

| Just logged into my Tibia account this morning. I had forgotten how fun that "simple" game is. I'm ready for adventure!
The PvP in Tibia sucks. You really don't want to die, so getting killed by some nerdy brazilian or polack player is NOT fun!
Good thing I'm on an optional PvP world in Tibia
