Reply #121: this probably won't get read due to its position in the thread, but [View All]

the statement 'i sure as HELL WILL DISMISS THEIR VIEWS' is pretty narrow-minded, don't you think? noir, I usually respect your views and immensely enjoy reading many of your posts, though I disagree with you sometimes. So many people here talk about one group or another being so 'wrong' for not being willing to accept other points of view (especially when it comes to religious and moral issues) and will slam those 'closed-minded' people with great fervor. But yet, here you are being the same way...just on the other side of the fence.

Personally, I think abortion is abhorrent. Anyone in my close circle who came to me for advice on the topic (and yes, some have) would get my views explained to them with passion. At the same time, I can sit with some of my friends who are pro-choice, and have a passioned argument, never coming to an agreement, but still respect their views and give the person and their logic/passion/p.o.v. the right to be heard.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you. By dismiss, do you mean that you will simply never agree with them? In that, you have every right. Or do you mean that you will simply not even listen to their p.o.v.? If that is the case, what makes your position any more defensible than those whacky anti-abortion types?

Thanks for reading...if anyone did. And, by the way, noir, i appreciate your views and will listen to and give YOUR arguments every consideration. You may not win me in the end (and you probably don't care to :) ) but I am glad you are here to discuss!
