Whatever.

I clearly stated that I don't go around making judgements about whether a person is someone I would dislike if I got to know them or not. This has nothing to do with that so you are all missing my point. When meeting people I treat them equally, as if they might be my next close friend. I don't care what they've got going inside. They could be a mass murderer for all I know, or one of the nicest persons on Earth. It doesn't matter to me, I treat them equally.

If you are a person who has health problems because you engage in a voluntary activity, whether it's unsafe driving, smoking tobacco, eating bad food, whatever, and because of that either my insurance rates or the part of my taxes that goes to social security/medicaid are increased, I dislike you. Because you have CHOSEN to not take care of yourself, it is costing me money, just like unsafe drivers endanger my life.

If you don't like that, fine. I don't live my life to make sure to get approval from people.
