The idea that somebody you disagree with should have a psych evaluation smacks of MAJOR control issues.

But you gave me quite a laugh, so thanks! :evilgrin:

2. True. Never thought of it that way.

I guess I shouldn't be so damn judgmental.

4. I'm a little sensitive

because so many of my ideas and choices were loathed by my fellow citizens in the hellhole town I grew up in.

That experience taught me to butt out of other people's business. :shrug:

7. I agree with being out of people's business; however,

I just feel that there is something to this story and perhaps I would like it studied. Most of these cases occur in a fundamentalist religious background, like Duggar is a part of.

10. yes, most of the baseball team sized families

are fundies.

And believe me, I would rather that they weren't breeding at that rate.

But my personal sense of ethics dictates that I put my love of freedom above my personal preferences. I don't like it. But I refuse to compromise my values, lest fundies decide it's ok to limit MY freedoms.

Oh wait, they already are. :eyes:

3. that's a bit much

oddly enough you just did what you accused the OP of doing.


what does that say about you?

5. ROFLMFAO

That is some beautiful spinning!!

"Hypocrisy is bad except when we're doing it and when you call us on us doing it YOU are being a hypocrite."

8. I didn't say I wasn't doing one thing or another

obviously you won't see what you did so I'll let you think you win. that's what you want after all - I know your kind all too well.

:eyes:

[thinkingwoman]

11. my kind?

Um, wow, ok. Whatever. :eyes:

Does that mean you won't serve me?

6. Okay, I'm self-deleting this post before a flamewar occurs.

I personally would like to see this studied, but I will keep this to myself from here on out. I was preemptively judgmental.

9. too bad.

you are entitled to your opinion after all.

[thinkingwoman]

12. That's too bad

because as the other poster said, you are entitled to your opinion.

My opposition to your opinion, as stated in your OP, doesn't mean you should be allowed to express it.

I would imagine that you could find a way to discuss this issue without being judgemental.

If we (progressives) want to encourage people not to have 16 kids, and therefore cut down on overpopulation, I think we should do so through education and example, not by alienation. But that's just my 2 cents. Feel free to reject it.
