they are not assumptions.
1. nature exists, can be discussed dispassionately, and is a baseline for our existence.
2. the woman has obvious emotional issues with sex online. and iphones. and internet. and religious beliefs. those are not assumptions— she documents them in her article. as such they are fair game for discussion.
3. I do not frequent DU. I am more of an alt.politics.clinton.whitewater reader. i have on fr since 1998 or so. DU was launched in 2001. i see you have been on fr since 2005. do you know what you are talking about??
If you’re presuming that she’s damaging her son with her attitude about sex, of which you know nothing except a few comments from the article, yes, they are assumptions.
