I'm trying to give you asecond hundredth chance at having a sane and civilized discussion on anything even vaguely touching on politics, and crap-stupid replies like the one you just wrote aren't helping. Go inflict your blather on others, they might be more tolerant during what I hope is a temporary return phase of especially unhinged ranting. Not single fucking thing you wrote made one damn bit of sense in relation to what I said, it was beyond even classic-Joel habits of carrying out one-sided tangential arguments barely related to whatever whoever you replied to said.
I'm trying to give you a
Since I don't particularly feel like simply ignoring everything you write and replying with insults, I suggest you try not replying to me unless you are very specifically and politely replying to my actual remarks without your customary rancid attempts at hyperbole, soapboxing, and 'deep philosophical points'.
I focused on that statement (yours) throughout my response. The only time I addressed you (and should have said, "one," because I did not mean you specifically) was in conceding a point I repeatedly conceded: Doe v. Bolton made abortion too easy. I apologize if that was offensive, but I genuinely did make every effort to be as civil as possible; in future I will try harder to emulate the example provided.
"...all of this operates on a principle that says that you do not take life without a good cause...." That principle is valid, but I respectfully submit it is not at issue; the issue is what constitutes "good cause," and often whether there IS such a cause.
EDIT: I take it back; there were TWO times I said, "you," when I should have said, "one." None of it was personally directed though, by design.

I don't understand many things about Conservatives but one thing baffles me more than most.

I think you're confusing "pro life" with "anti killing."

It sounds like you have a very specific view of what each position constitutes.

Just going by party platforms, candidate/officeholder statements and proposed/enacted law.

For what it is worth, you and I are not so far apart on abortion.

"Love your brother as you love yourself" is about self-improvement?

Conversely, how can liberals be pro-abortion but anti-death penalty?

In my case, because of the areas certainty exists and those where it is impossible.

That is a very good point, too, one that had never occurred to me.

Joel, I'm going to strongly suggest you don't try to discuss anything political with me

Abortion is "not germane" to asking how one can reconcile opposing abortion while supporting guns?

Discussing Supreme Court rulings on abortion in detail is not *NM*

Not in detail, just in both citing "good cause," yet interpreting it VERY differently.

My biggest problem with that from a religious perspective is preempting the chance to repent.
