 |  I base my observations on 35 years of life, just like anyone who's lived that long. I don't have to justify the angle. We're not even talking about abortion or racial issues any more. This is a personal thing with you. No, it isn't.  I'm still interested in the issues, and I couldn't care less about a personal conflict.  You, on the other hand, ignored about 80% of what I wrote, and launched into a "personal thing" all on your own.  (You can call me Frank, by the way.  Calling someone by his/her last name out of anger has a certain 8th grade gym class feel to it, y'know?) I'm not sure why you think I'm personally attacking you, either.  I found a lot of what you wrote illogical, inaccurate, and problematic, and explained why.  I also asked you to clarify some of your statements, and you didn't do so in all cases. My theories are based in disappointment, my analogies ones of despair. But I don't see anything in your "responses" to answer my questions. That was never my intent.  Look, I'm no happier about the current state of the human race than you are, but I found your "oh, well, let's just have lots of abortions, then" tone to be incredibly pessimistic and short-sighted.  That was my main point. (Side note to Emery: Get your god damned cameras out of my house, pronto.  I'm not telling you again.) |
