I agree, we are more than animals who act on every desire and impulse.
Be careful, someone might try to shut you up despite the fact that you are only voicing your opinion.
I agree that Mari4Him has voiced her opinion quite nicely. She did not resort to attacking any poster who disagrees with her opinion. She states several times in her posts phrases such as "I believe," "I think," and "My opnion." Not once has she attacked a poster. Those of you who have should follow her fine example.
When people can disagree and still maintain a modicum of civility, the possibility of understanding each other is greater, IMO.
Thank you Ellen. That's exactly it. I just don't buy into this whole animalistic reaction with regards to desires, whether in males or females. In fact, I have a son that is 19 and that is one of the first things I was always instilling in him as he was going through his teen years. I'd tell him yeah urges will be there but you are not an animal that can't control their urges. It takes more of a man to keep his pants on than to take them off at ever scent of a girl.
As for some trying to shut me up.... they can try, thats okay, wouldn't be the first time. But it won't stop me from continuing to voice my opinions when I have them and feel strong enough on the subject to do so.
That's a great thing to teach a teenage boy! I haven't thought of that before. I'll try that once I have kids

Thank you, Mari, for discussing the issues rather than "going for the throat," as it were. As you have voiced and stood by your opinions, I have done the same and, as you have, I also will continue to do so.
You, Ms. Mari, are a true lady in every sense of the word.

I agree. Even with differing opinions, I feel like I am having a conversation with an adult when I read Ms. Mari's posts. It's quite refreshing!

I am not seeing any evidence that anyone is squelching words unless they come in the forms of attacks. Since you aren't attacking anyone, I can assure you that your choice of words and opinion are very much appreciated.
Oh, and congrats on your marriage! I've been with my DH for over 16 years. It has been wonderful being in a marriage that has continued to flourish...and I wish the same for you!
I find it intriguing. The delivery of the message was a mirror image of what they got offended with in the first place. I tend to categorize some responses as "projection".
I wasn't going to say anything else, but had to call you on it.
Go back and read some of your own posts and see how ADULT you really were.
I don't see anything snide in her posting about Mari4Him's ability to speak about issues in an adult manner. You really should follow her example.
