wow. I didn't realize that was a prerequisite to having an opinion.

but, if what you say is true, at least that will surely minimize the amount of topics on which you can have an opinion and can therefore comment on, right? right. good.

IMO, there's some merit to the viewpoint that in this case, it's not your place to make judgments if the matter doesn't involve/concern you.

I swear I feel like I'm speaking in ****ing Greek in this place these days. yet again, my initial post is misconstrued. I'm not saying by you, but by the person who began this portion of the debate. and my response is not directly in response to you just my thoughts concerning it all.

I'll just have to say, I agree that I wouldn't ever presume to tell a woman what to do with her body. if a woman were pregnant with my child, however, I feel that does concern/involve me and I do have some right to an opinion. I obviously shouldn't even be posting in this ****ing thread...I wish you all had put a disclaimer that those who can not conceive, men and women alike, shouldn't even comment in this thread...

also, an opinion is merely that. we all form one on many issues in which we have no involvement. it's funny that I am having this convo considering I never even said what my opinion was.

for historical value, let's revisit my short and sweet post:

I'm glad too that so many homeless were fed. I go to a two-story house here once a month and serve the homeless.

as for the execution bit, as with abortion, I'm really, really torn, so I won't comment.

um....yeah...

to be fair, there's a difference between having an opinion and making judgments, and jazzy really didn't express either.

whoops, sorry, i didn't consult my merriam-webster before posting. i'll never do it again.

my point was a) you don't have to pass judgment to have an opinion and b) (my real point) jazzy didn't posit an opinion one way or the other, so this entire argument is ridiculous.

Good point.

Okay, I really wasn't trying to start something here.

I know and that's why I was saying I pretty much agreed with you and that you could basically ignore everything I said after I said that.

You needn't have even responded. This was just about a former mod who has spent the past weekend trying to bully and silence people the same way she did when she was mod. Nothing more, nothing less.
