The problem with your two buckets story is that the starting bucket is not clean. Both buckets would contain good people, less good people and miserable people in about the same proportions.

Aqua has elegantly and calmly bollocked you again, Mustafaken. That's why you lapse into idiotic giberrish in response.
You are signalling your well deserved pain.

I want access to the 1st bucket.

I do not want access to the 3rd container.

And i would suggest, that you would not want access to it either.

FURTHER ANALOGIES.....

1/            Q.     When you change the engine oil on your vehicle, why do you fill it with virgin, clean/new engine oil ?

The old, dirty engine oil will still allow your engine to run.

So, why would you want to 'change out' the old oil with clean, new oil ?


2/            If your school age teenage daughter is pregnant, she isn't 'just a little pregnant'.
[i.e. "Its nothing to worry about dad.    I'm only a little pregnant."]

She is pregnant.

Because someone, has impregnated her.

GOOD, AND EVIL....
Whenever we choose to become tolerant of evil [in our midst] [ungodly values], it is certain, as night follows day, that we ourselves, will become evil.

i.e.
If we are tolerant of what is clearly evil, it is because we now ARE evil.

When we embrace the concept of 'tolerance', but what we are prepared to tolerate is clearly evil,
...we become those, who are evil, OURSELVES.

Our 'tolerance' of evil, is not tolerance.

It is (a) wickedness.

Strangely, Aqua's always been against targeting people for their race, dear. Skin colour? Never noticed it.

I know, I know, so old fashioned, so pre post-wacist. Now you know as well as I, dear boy, that when Trump talks about gang violence, the looting of black lives, the rampant drug distribution et al, he's talking about keeping out the Jigaboos. That's why you love him so. You know as well as I that it has nothing to do with crime, public order or civil obedience at all. How do we know?

Because you, dear boy, cheered on an armed mob of rioters storming the Capitol on Jan 6. You praised them. Tally-ho, you said, and then and there went your orderly, bin-straightening facade - gone in a flash.

Civilisation has its discontents, innit. Thin veneer indeed, no?
