Doesn't mean that you were saying true things either, per se'. If you grew up and all anyone ever told you was the the sky was polka dot pink, and you then tell everyone on DP that the sky is polka dot pink, when we all know it's actually blue, you aren't lying because you are not intentionally telling us a untruth with the intent to deceive. Likewise, stating an opinion based comment isn't lying because there is no one truth to an opinon. And most importantly here, because of the language translation barrier, miswording and different applications of a word in different areas, can lead to a statement that is untrue in one area and not another. "Torch" and "crackers" and even "fag" are words that are completely different between the US and England. IF a Brit and an American are standing together and the Brit says, "I need to go out and drag a fag" the American might accuse him of being a homophobe. The Brit will think the American is lying about him, while the American will think that the Brit is lying in his denial.
If I remember correctly (it's a long thread, I'm not going to go back and look them up) you did some accusing of others lying as well. Maybe they were saying one thing that you took as something else, and while it was untrue by your understanding, it wasn't by theirs?
As to people not wanting to understand, such a label can be applied to you as well. Most of us here are trying to get you to understand that simply because a few whackos are using polygamy as an excuse to have sex with underaged girls or to abuse women, it doesn't mean that that is what the majority of polys do. I can understand that you find 3+spouse families perverted. But I've seen you defend SSM and same gender sex before. Other people find that perverted. You don't, it seems. But trying to compare it to another perversion, or perceived perversion, simply doesn't work. Another person might say, "Well if you are going to allow the perversions of polygamy and polyandry, you should then allow the perversion of same sex marriage!" DO you see how that doesn't make sense to one who doesn't see SSM as a perversion. It's the same here. We don't see poly marriages as perversions. Even many who have argued against it as a legal status, are still saying that in and of itself it's not a perversion, just logistically hard to put into law.
OK you got me on that one. I was referring contextually and I failed to point that out. Hard Cider is on me tonight!
