    Yes, I understood your point of view, and I disagree. It is not a “rational” chain of thought like that. It begins with the emotion. The emotion is not a reaction to the chain of thought, the chain of thought is a rationalization for the emotion.

      I didn’t respond to you so not sure why you are acting like I did. For the sake of discussion though, both can be true. It may start as disgust and then they can form a logical rationale for why this disgust is warranted in their opinion.

      Not sure what your actual argument is though. Are you saying that their disgust/discomfort with homeless people in their neighborhoods should be dismissed because it doesn’t start off as logical?
