| Quote (Schroedinger's Dog @ Jan. 24 2011,13:09) | Louis, I never implied it was going to be a discussion prone to change her mind on the subject. I just said it would be an interesting discussion. And that if we could all debate in calm, polite, religion-free manners for a while, it would probably be quite nice.
I think that your definitions of bullshiting and lying are spot-on. Past experiences with FTK would point to bullshiting, but I feel inclined to give her the benefice of the doubt and see her arguments through. She says she will vote the way her heart and beliefs tell her to, but she also points out that she is against pro or anti abortion laws. This is the bit I am interested in. When you remember how adamant she was of ID being taught in science classes, I find her stance on the issue of abortion to be quite more reasonable: "I'm against it, but I won't force my views onto others by means of a law". She thinks abortion is bad, and who could blame her? She is, after all, a mother. But she didn't say (here at least) "abortion is bad, I want it outlawed and perpetrators prosecuted, condemned, executed".
This is where I think the debate would be interesting, as for once FTK is relatively reasonable and seems willing to see the other's POV (well, at least I hope so, else you can erase all I've said in my last two posts for the court transcript).
Again, I might be totaly mistaken and she might have a hidden agenda, but I'm willing to see where this is going. We'll never sway her, but maybe she'll kinda understand the opposite view a bit better, even if she still disagrees with it.
Yet again, the birthday dinner, subsequent massage and sexy time were lovely, so I think I might be blinded by the pink veil of happiness today... |
Oh it would be quiet nice, I agree. I just didn't get a birthday dinner so I am clouded by the grey bastarding fog of scepticism. ;-)
