But not always. I'm absolutely behind the point you're making about some people, but if someone wants you dead, it's usually not subtle.

I've met people who use this logic to turn absolutely vicious towards people who have otherwise shown nothing but kindness.

Smoking is an instant nope for me, and for that I've had some girls react like I think smoking makes a person abhorrent and undeserving of love.

(No, I'm not saying trans people can "quit" being trans the way smokers can quit smoking. Just saying that even if a piece of logic is valid, it should be applied with care.)

But smokers are abhorrent and nobody deserves love

Smokers are victims of marketing.

Everybody needs love, if only from themselves.

Yeah, absolutely, very much so, but I don't want to kiss or sleep with smokers, and that's OK.

Agreed, I was the guy making that point in the first place.

Everyone deserves love. Nobody is entitled to love.
