224. OK then my final answer IS
Edited on Thu Jan-08-04 07:11 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
I'm more interested in freedom to choose and keeping it that way than in using REGRET to frame this issue. I'm MORE interested in 5000 things than women terminating unwanted pregnancies, therefore I wouldn't post a thread about this.

You wanted an honest discussion, my answers were FAR more honest than your questions.

It has moved from LEO to this to that with NO concession on your part that the thread has LESS to do with regretting a decision and MORE to do with you REGRETTING your limited rights in the matter.


As far as the issue of manipulation is concerned try this:

My sister needs a favor. Rather than say, "I need help on Saturday, are you available?" She instead says, "What are you doing next Saturday?" Hoping that if I say I don't have plans she then limits my ability to decline to help her since reasonably (to her) if I am doing NOTHING next Saturday, I should be at her beck and call. It's a technique to get what one wants without regard for the other person.

See?
