I’m a social conservative, but I’m not interested in bringing it up on this thread unless the discussion of the community comes to subjects in that direction. The front page has plenty of threads on all subjects. We try to keep our few in our family here as friends, so we come to this thread to escape flame wars(for the most part).
If one of our members is deliberately trying to start trouble, he/she will no longer be considered a member of the family. I’m sorry Guennie feels the way she does, but I’ve never seen Peach act in the way she’s claimed. Coming in here and blasting her the way she did in her “Farewell Opus” is not something we do here. Efforts to throw members of this small family against one another are petty and small. If you don’t like our family, go back to the rest of the board. Most likely, you and I will agree and back each other up on threads, but just leave this one alone, please.
As I said, I was responding to a ping. I DID NOT bring up the name of any specific FReeper banned or otherwise.
If my post somehow disturbs the unity of this thread, I apologize and I won’t be at all offended if the post is removed from the thread.
I hate abortion as much as you do, but until the law is changed, there are women who will continue "choosing" to abort their children. At least, the recent SCOTUS ruling prevents the most heinous form of abortion....incremental step, but that's "one small step for mankind". I have 5 adult children, 12 grandchildren, and 1 greatgrandchild.....proof that my family is pro-life to the max...if you need any proof.
I might remind you that no president makes law; that's Congress' job, and Supreme Court judges rule on whether those laws are constitutional. I have made no decision yet on which candidate I will support, for I hope to learn about each one before I give him my own vote. You say that you are "passionate"....well, at least consider that others are just as "passionate" about their own choice. The degree of conservatism of each candidate has been the crux of most differences.
I wish that this website were one of civil discussions of the candidates, but some have turned it into a bloodbath. Such rending of civil discourse is doing the work of the DNC imo as well as destroying the fabric of FR.
We're grown ups, Genevere. We have differing opinions, but I honestly think that one and all wish the best for this nation.
We do not need you lecturing us or bringing your name-calling to this little community of friends.
