Bullshit! <gggg>
I gave the thread a fairly lengthy substantive post which nobody chose to respond to. I don't see the need to do it again.
I'll consider that when you either show me evidence of your conclusion and demonstrate that the position you espouse does not spring primarily from inertia, bigotry, paternalism, arrogance, bullying, ignorance, selfishness, religious scripts, hypocrisy, mean-spiritedness, etc. etc
Gee. You got so carried away that you messed up your grammar. Rare for you.
Obviously there is no way I can show you evidence that my positions don't spring from any one of those. You believe that, or you don't.
Nor can you show me by evidence that your position doesn't spring from a desire to destroy the social fabric of our country so that it ripe for a communist takeover. Not that, frankly, I believe that, as I don't think you believe any of the things you listed. But you can no more prove the falsity of my suggesting than I can prove the falsity of yours.
I just don't think that namecalling back and forth is a very productive discussion tactic, though it is certainly popular in the political arena, nor do I think that accusing people of bad motives without clear evidence of justification is helpful to a construct dialogue. Do you? Or did you just sort of fly off the handle and are you sorry now? |
