My precinct captain had me going door to door Saturday aborting babies and taking guns away from honest citizens.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-34977705649983631372009-02-01T03:30:00.000-08:002009-02-01T03:30:00.000-08:00There is no winning a debate on abortion... becaus...There is no winning a debate on abortion... because essentially everyone is right.<BR/>It is wrong to end a life. Of course it is.<BR/>It is also wrong to say my precious morality is more important than your (pregnant girl's) choice over her own future - who is also "a life".<BR/>It is a terrible situation.<BR/><BR/>But the central assumption of AP appears to be that there is never, in any human situation, a moral conundrum.<BR/>There is always a happy answer from which "the good guys" all go home wholesome, righteous, and - most of all - powerful. <BR/><BR/>Further, expression of this is mostly found in viewing most of the rest of the world as Evil in concert. For example (latest mini-manifesto): "emergence of the United Nations General Assembly as a Third World power shop seeking to shift global resources and influence away from the industrialized nations of the global north".<BR/>.... ?<BR/>Apart from my issue that I happen to live in a prosperous zone of the global south... the essential meaning of that seems to be that no-one else has a right to influence or (global!) resources. In other words... fuck the foreigners and their search for a better life. All the world belongs to us.<BR/> - the US 'us'. <BR/><BR/>You as a reasonable person, who happens to have a different (i.e. adult) philosophy and worldview are, of course, welcome to make "comments and debate".... But not for an exchange of ideas so much as fodder for intellectual ridicule from a thundering height, unless you're a Bible-bashing dweeb who can only say "oh my sir you're so smart it makes me all warm inside to read this stuff".<BR/><BR/>Most common counter phrase: "you're wrong"<BR/>Not "I don't agree" or "I interpret this differently" or "Could we consider that..?". No. Forget that. <BR/>"you're wrong"...<BR/><BR/>Because there morality is a 2 + 2 = 4. God personally blesses every Israeli tank.<BR/>Life is good in the academic Eden out of the OC... and the darkening sky is just the sun and moon disappearing up Bush and Cheney's A-hole as they sink into total political ignominy.<BR/><BR/>I dunno, JBW, but you might want to let it go... One can make a very bitter lemon tree grow just by pissing on it.<BR/><BR/>(Cooler weather today. Maybe it will rain again some day. Water restrictions here starting to make Frank Herbert's Dune look like an aquatic playzone. Climate change? maybe not... maybe just a drought.
