Bigot? Racist? Something Else?

Quote:

So Glennn, did you check the rule book on what women can and cannot be permitted to think or do?

Indeed I did. Apparently, you were not out of line to ask a question. However, I was concerned for you wellbeing because you admitted to laughing out loud at what I had said. But then I remembered that we're not in Turkey . . . thank god.

I have a few questions that I would like to submit to a male A2K person so that it can be properly vetted and I can be advised on how not to offend the superior gender. Please help.

I know your antenna is alway up looking for more evidence that women are out of control and secret feminists who plot to take over the world, but for Christ sake, don't you ever take a breath?

Not really but blame me for anticipating your retort. There is no difference. I assume you have no problem controlling the body of a would be murderer, when "murder" meets your definition.

The basis for my interpretation is years of debating this issue with Pro-choicers and almost always having to leave the field because of their raging emotional response. As I wrote, you may be different. I doubt it but I certainly accept the possibility.

It's just as "rational" a point of view to believe that a fetus is a human. ?

Have you had kids? If you have, were you irrational to call the developing fetus in your womb a baby? Do you think that your your son and daughter were not who they are today; 10 days after conception? If you aborted them could they possibly have ever existed?

Maybe you are as emotionless as you would have us believe.

My point is that both sides have equal degrees of emotion and rationality.

I know how badly you want to call abortion murder, but I'm afraid it doesn't meet the definition.

I can believe that years of debating the issue has made you . . . gun shy. But you don't have to worry about me. I haven't screamed at anyone so far. Of course, I might be just lulling you into a sense of security so that when I finally burst into rage, it will have maximum effect. Just kidding. Or am I?

What more do you want?

I recognize this as an attempt to appeal to that which you believe will move me . . . emotionally. But I don't buy into what you do

Perhaps a world where emotion is the criteria whereby issues are decided would be a good thing. I think not.

My point is that both sides have equal degrees of emotion and rationality.

That is a good point. So we have a stalemate. I can live with that if you can.

You don't know anything of the sort

and since you get all agitated when you perceive others are trying to put words in your mouth

I believe it.

Nothing.

I'm not trying to appeal to your emotions, I'm trying to challenge your certitude. You need to be less defensive.

Fair enough but emotions are not going anywhere anytime soon.

I can.

Bigotry is what happens when one ideology view shuts outs all other points of view
