Oh, of COURSE, I'm acting in a vacum here, your certainly not doing anything to either provoke or prolong the discusson-----riiiiggghhhhttttt

And AGAIN, your "missing the point" in terms of whom exactly gets to decide what emotions are "legatimate" to have.
You seem to want to decide that for OTHER people---yet you don't wish to allow others to decide for you.
Nope, its a simply matter of you feeling that its perfectly "OK" to assert how you think people feel/think based entirely upon their SKIN-COLOR.
LIke I said, substitute "gay" for "white people" in your little assertion and you would have come unglued--and with good reason.
Nope, your not listeing IJ--your animus is making you blind and deaf--what I joined to thread to say was that:
A-Gays should have the same rights to adopt as anybody else--if they are citizens they should have the same rights as any citizen.
B-That your employing essnetially the same appeals to emotion as the "anti" crowd.
Trying to help you see that the SAME tactics you decry in others--your employing yourself.
AGAIN, you probably have a very nuanced postion on that--but like I tried to tell you--so do the folks your against.
"Citations" you mean like the swiss cheese article you posted???

I don't post them because I don't need them--your stuff does not require the effort--its clearly unsupportable and logically inconsistant--all I need to do is show where the holes/failings are.
Not "attacking" you for being negative---just pointing out that you are--and heavily invested in being so.
When your not bashing the religious, the conservative, white folks, or pretty much anyone that differs even slightly with your opinions--heck IJ, I essenatially AGREE with you--and look how much time you spend bashing and smearing ME--what else do YOU do except bitch, moan and whine?
Like I keep trying to tell you IJ--I'm just reacting to your posts.
You don't like it?
Either post better or lay off.
I was man enough to just walk away on the last thread--I'm betting I'll have to do it again here.
