State University, Raleigh Lines: 68 <<>> Alas, for the lack of communication on this net, in spite of all of the written words contained herein... When i wrote my original article stating that certain subjects belonged in other newsgroups (<--para-phrased), i thought about putting in a :-) sign, to indicate that i was half-joking about my logic being 'flawless', but i figured that if i did so, then it might be taken as a sign that i was joking about the entire article. i was not. i still believe that those topics belong elsewhere. for those who have just joined us, i am referring to 'Children & religion/homosexuality'. by the way, Moira, good jab (i had to ask :-). however, Darryl, you chose to make several interesting extrapolations based on what little (VERY little) i said. [me, of course] >>presumably most of us are single and therefore have no children, and >>therefore no reason for these topics. > from Darryl: > Allow me to enlighten you in the "flaw's in this logic". Single is a > state of being unmarried. This is not to be confuse with never married. Granted. i was not confusing these two states of being. [this was me, alas, it was meant to be ':-)' see above] >>if you can find a flaw in this logic, then you probably have no need of the >>rest of us in your little world anyway. > Forgive me I didn't know that I was in the presents of someone that is perfect > I didn't mean bust your bubble that your have build your little world in. The > Hell I didn't! From your comment I can infer that you have never been married > and have no children and that you consider anyone that has became single again > as somehow unclean, unpure, spoiled, or otherwise unworthy of being single. ok fine, i'm not perfect. i admit it. satisfied? but then, i never claimed to be perfect anyway. brilliant deduction: i am not and have never been married or had children. however, (why do i want to say flame on??) i don't recall EVER having stated OR implied that anyone in this divorced state is "somehow unclean, unpure"... etc (garbage). > What gives you the right to say that just because that I am single and have > children that I should look for another news group. you make it sound like i'm kicking you out of your neighborhood. i'm not kicking you out of anywhere (i don't have the right!). i just believe that certain topics belong elsewhere *in the long run*. > They are trying so hard > to put their life back together and to you and your to treat this very large > of single people like dirty makes me as mad as hell. (i will not flame. i will not flame. (say that 10 times under breath)) honestly. i just flat out refuse to let this be the start of another brawl! how would you know how i treat divorcees and their children? would you happen to know if i have any close friends among divorced parents or if i have even (gasp!) dated a divorced parent? a very close friend of mine had a child out of wedlock (eg: single parent!). be for real and don't start making accusations or direct implications that you can't back up and have no basis for. it has occurred to me that perhaps i should re-state my original logic: *presumably* (MOST of us) (are single and have no children). once again: (most of us) are single and therefore (most of us) have no children... didn't we just go through this? (something about jews? :-) I *never* make sweeping generalizations! (well, almost never :-) Exception #1: I am *always* open to suggestion/correction/discussion. no fun today... dave hesselberth the Druid of NC decvax!mcnc!ncsu!rdr (put my name in Subject line if you mail; not my account)
