Rev Dark Wrote:So - does the emotional threat work for you often? Agree with me or don't be my friend? No room for agree to disagree?Quoted for truth. A single opinion should not be the basis of decision regarding a friendship.
I don't feel particularly high and mighty. Just disappointed.; and sad for you. That's an odd way to live a life.
I disagree with my friends on some big issues. They're still my friends.
Also, while I agree that the particular weapon used is... distasteful (as well it should be), I do believe that, in the idea of which principle should be higher, rights to be oneself as long as it does no harm to others, versus being above a petty schoolyard tactic like name calling... I'm sorry, for me, the rights win out. If Santorum=Frothy keeps him from getting into a position to roll back human rights by 300 years, then I can live with it. That he hasn't given up yet says that he's so into believing it that reasoning won't win him out anyway.
