Saying something is a typo when it obviously isn't is dishonest.

It was a typo.

Why would I say "bland and white" when it was obvious I was going for black and white? It had nothing to do with people anyway. I was obviously talking about ideas that are overly simplified without shades of gray. Like I said twice now: Think what you like. I know it makes you feel good to play gotcha instead of being mature.

Yes both are federal offenses. I guess things are easier when you look at issues in a juvenile, pedantic, black and white manner. I'd probably save myself a ton of stress if I adopted a lower level intellectual attitude toward the world.
Oh, so now "bland" is "black."

That's fine.

But there's still the matter of you referring to InformedConsent as "juvenile" and "pedantic."

As I said, you can dish out the insults, but get all huffy when someone returns the favor.

LOL It was probably an empty promise anyway as I'm addicted to these boards. Its just tiresome to have people add on to posts, change what they originally meant etc. instead of just having a respectful, honest conversation.

BTW, good morning!!

The argument is juvenile and pedantic. I don't think IC is but think what you like. I know it makes you feel good to play gotcha instead of being mature.

Why would it be obvious?

White and bland are often associated.

"It had nothing to do with people," other than the fact that you dismissed InformedConsent's reasonable and polite post as "juvenile" and "pedantic."

Maybe you should apologize to him.

How so?

Are you going to move beyond name-calling?

You are saying we can't have it both ways and I throw that right back to your side.
On this issue of 'over population' there is not one 'right' side. It is a humanity issue and I do not see us coming together to discus the real issues: Euthanasia, Birth control, One-Child policies. These are subjects that none will touch and especially the church. China just dropped their one-child policy which will even speed up the end.
