Then why did you respond like you did to it originally? Were you simply letting me know your were going to ignore the comment. Were you trying to say it was a silly statement that I'd made? For a straight talking woman you seem to take a pretty curved path as far as I can tell.

Well, I rather doubt they'd have a problem with you answering yes or no. For example, you could have said "No, I don't respect that point of view, because..."

A blue state is a state that votes Democrat. My question is do you think we have to respect the point of view that owning slaves is OK and if so why? Notice I didn't say "respect the right to have the point of view that..."

It's a hypothetical question. You said I have to respect other people's points of view. You clearly don't respect the point of view (which some people probably still have) that having slaves is OK.

My point has nothing to do with race and or slavery. Let me rephrase one more time. Do you respect the point of view that it's OK to kill someone for any reason?

Let me prefix this by saying I'm not actually threatening you. This is a hypothetical question. Would you respect the point of view that it's OK to kill you?

So, obviously you agree that you don't have to respect others points of view on certain things.

I mean that one doesn't have to respect any point of view that they think is intolerant and/or evil or bad for society. Realistically one doesn't have to respect any point of view, only the right to have that point of view.

You haven't given me your point of view yet..about anything..you are more ephemeral than me!! :tink:
 
Re: Would you allow your son to go to camp where there were openly gay members? [W:19

Would you let your child go to a camp with someone who...

...openly takes the Lord's name in vain?
...eats shellfish?
...wears mixed fabrics?
...worships a different God?
...roots for the New Jersey Devils?

Our (your and mine, not the entire thread) whole discussion wasn't about my point of view. I was just trying to get you to admit that I don't have to respect any given point of view. My point of view on this thread's topic is that I'd definitely let my son (if I had one...I have a daughter...who I'd also let go to the equivalent camp) go to a camp where there are openly gay members, since simply being openly gay doesn't imply anything bad.

As a mother...I would have to disagree..my job is to keep my children away from potential danger..I perceive gay men as predatory..why else would they want to work with small boys??

I would not leave a baby in a room with a dog either..be it a poodle..a rottweiller..they are all basically wolves..
