<<<"I've presented my points as well as I know how, and argued as consecutively as I know how and been as logical as I know how." See, I was right all along. Your debate style was all you cared about>>> That was my sincere reply to haqi's accusation that I didn't have intelligent arguments. I was assuring haqi that I was trying to have them, and if I was failing, it wasn't because I wasn't trying. It was not a statement about "all [I] cared about." Haqihana, you know that, don't you? What do you think of prolife's understanding of that statement as meaning that all I have written about my feelings about abortion, early and late abortion, and about the situation some desperate women are in, and about unwanted children (whom I have known so many of, and even talked about (remember Peter?)), doesn't count for anything? Does this seem like normal thinking and concluding to you, haqi? How can all I have written be erased and denied in his mind, and "all you care about is debate style" be substituted, by a normal mind? Please explain this to me, I beg you. <<<How do you feel about that violence I just posted?>>> It takes my breath away that you would ask me this question, because it seems to imply again that I approve of people tearing babies limb from limb (i don't believe in late abortion, has that slipped your mind?), forcing women to get abortions, and men setting fire to their pregnant girlfriends. That is the implication of the question, isn't it? Do you believe that I approve these things? Haqi, if he believes I approve those things, what does it mean about the way his mind works? And if he doesn't, haqi, is it honest and respectable to align me with that man and the "charred body" they pulled from the wreck? Can't you see how his mind works? He could hardly make it clearer. Here's another" <<<Eduardo Lopez was enraged upon learning that his girlfriend was pregnant and did not want an abortion. He savagely beat her four times after he learned about the pregnancy, concentrating especially on punching and kicking her in the stomach. He then bought a syringe with an abortifacient drug and tried to inject her with it, but she managed to fight him off... YOu pro-"""choicers""' wink wink, are a mean bunch, huh? >>> Haqihana, do you approve of PROLIFE's association of me (you pro choicers are a mean bunch, huh!)with a man who tries to force an abortion on a woman, jabbing her with a needle and punching and kicking her in the stomach? He has done this often. Do you approve of it, haqihana? Do you think it shows normal mental processes? If he has normal cognitive function, as you believe, do you think it is honest? *haqi, how can this be both normal cognitively and* honest?** It can NOT be. Can't you see that, haqi, even if you like the man as a friend?
