But you suggest stoning all of a woman's male relatives for making the woman wear a burka. I guess you have a little wiggle room there.

Christ, you really don't get it, do you.

I believe in bacon.

Merc, does that mean that you would support social programs as long as they required some degree of commitment from the recipients? Jobs programs for those who are willing to work, welfare for those who are willing to attend occupational training, food for those who will work in the food kitchen/garden some number of hours? Healthcare for those who... what? Can you think of a reciprocal commitment that would be fair for people who needed to be on a federal healthcare plan?

[off the cuff response] yes, all of that. Really my only point was to say there is no comparison to my experience, socialized system (completely false premise IMHO), to the current social system of increasing public dependence.

I need to think on this to formulate a more complete response.

Stop it Merc. Griff is not the one to pick this fight with. He's been more open than many to at least dialogue with you.

TheMercenary · 09-21-2010, 06:50 PM

Why in the world would you think I was trying to pick a fight with him!

Good fucking grief, I can't even disagree with something someone states, state a counter position with it being viewed as "picking a fight".

I felt like we were making some headway in having an agreeable disagreement about some issues. Isn't that how people hash stuff out? I have been quite civil in this exchange and all my exchanges since LJ started his 40 plus page rant about me.

Anyone feel free to pile on.

Peace.
