So its adoption that you wouldnt want to have to explain to your children?
Adoption isn't a complete answer, nor--for most children--would it satisfy the questions that would follow.
One answer generates three more. Any parent of a normally inquisitive child will tell you that.
Why is it so bad that people like to have these conversations in their own time? You seem to want to force them to do it before they think they're children are ready.
I bet momma's glad this ship lost it's way.
Did you look at the links, lightfoot??
...and the ship didn't lose it's way. It was hijacked.
Actually Lightfoot, I wouldn't mind picking up where we left off. Just don't want anyone answering for me.
No one tried to answer for her. Someone DID want to show you where she proved your point, though.
Well, it might have been nice if that someone would have let me finish my complete thought with Lightfoot.
Have a nice night Lash.
It's a message board. You can have a private discussion via PM.
Hmmm. I thought the whole point was to post your ideas, questions, etc. and others addressed them? My mistake.
Are we running into censorship?
Is anyone here suggesting that anyone else cannot "finish a thought" with an interlocutor. Is anyone here suggesting that other members can practice active censorship of what is being posted?
Pure rot . . .
Imagine censorship is something like an imagined orgasm?
Lash,
I am not getting into any kind of a word banter with you. You have decided that everything I say is dishonest. That is certainly your right.
I bow out of the conversations when you interject as you have been because it is no longer about the conversation when you do that. I think Intrepid's remark about censorship was because you made it pretty clear that if I wanted to continue the discussion with Lightfoot that we should take it to PM.
Your posts make it about your obvious dislike for me. I get it, ok? You don't like me. Fine. Got it. No need to constantly remind me or anyone else. I think we all get the point.
Have a good day Lash.
If you want a private conversation, PM is the appropriate place. No one is guaranteed a private conversation on a public message board.
If you become distraught over someone joining the conversation, PM would be an option.
What I said was completely on topic, and it still astounds me that you have the gall to say that me finding your own post, proving his point is not on topic.
Typical!
I said it wasn't on topic? I'd have to go back and look at that for my exact wording.
Lash, I wanted to talk to Lightfoot about the very thing that you posted. Yes, I have questions and what I said about it being a threat or whatever I said was true. That is what I wanted to talk to Lightfoot about. I wanted to know how he got his perceptions of that.
But, when you made it very clear that no matter what I said, you would consider it a lie (not your exact words) I backed off. Didn't see the need to start anything and frankly, still don't.
Lash.
Was this the link?
Bits from the link by Momma. quote...
"I haven't a clue."
"Willing to listen"
"Gather information"
"Fearful of some to my belief system"
"What I do know is I think "
"come to the correct understanding"
"learn not to hurt anyone by my beliefs"
If this is so, I reckon It's a bloody terrific Idea to live and do what momma says. In fact mumma, It's exactly how I came about thinking the way I do.... no God...No religion... No Bible. I just did what you said momma.
So how come you needed a God-Religion-Bible momma, perhaps that's why you didn't turn out like me.
A bloody silly old fart.
