I doubt that if that was true you would not be responding to my opinions. When one offers a issue for debate a subject a topic ppl offer their views their opinions on the issue. So if you claim you do not want to debate or discuss opinions there is no reason to direct a point of view a concusions on the issue.
Sigh. I will let this go. I stand by what I said. Neither of us is budging on this one. I will agree to disagree.
Fine by me, you can ignore my previous post.

Yes. Just like I have an opinion about nursing. It varies depending on what age we are talking about. You gonna be more specific or not?
I told you, a 40 year old man. That's as specific as an 8 year old child, so why is it you need me to be more specific on one thing but not the other, if it's the "act" you find so distateful?

You can hate me, but do it because you know me, not because I’m a member of a group. Anyways, people aren’t grapes --- you can’t weigh them in a bunch, but I guess it’s easier than dealing with people as individuals. There, I’ve solved the riddle of prejudice: it saves time.
Fine. I've already explained it in this thread, but probably not.

I don't think so. I remember Fio talking about it, but she didn't bring it up.
