(35 posts)Im not seeing anything beyond the facts.
I have no personal opinion on the Smith family (they may be total jerks), however I am not going to create one out of the blue without knowing them. Nor am I going to base one strictly on the hearsay of the Hunt family, who again has shown to be dishonest on their petition and initial media plea.
I have no personal opinion on their daughter (I dont know her). I have no personal opinion on the DA (I dont know him). I have no personal opinion on the community (I dont live there).
The only thing I am basing any opinion on is fact, not rumor, not conjecture, not assumption.
The whole reason I am arguing with you so strenuously is because you are doing just that, creating a narrative based purely on conjecture and imagination. You want them to be bigots, so you insist they are. You want Ms. Hunt to be being persecuted for being gay, so you insist she is. Neither of these things are things you could have concluded based on evidence. There are no facts to back these claims up...but you insist on them...because you want to and because of a certain amount of being reactionary so that you just make non sequiturs.
For example:
All men are humans.
Mary is human.
Therefore, Mary is a man.
Except the partisan one works like this:
the Far right religious zealots do not support Homosexuals
Ms. Hunt is homosexual
therefore to not support Ms. Hunt makes one a Far right religious zealot
This is a dangerous way of thinking that has become WAY too common.
