Yes, you could say that all day, and it wouldn't make it true.

Here's another example.

I have never had an abortion. But I know what one entails, and I have researched its effects, such that I am comfortable saying abortion is bad, not just for me but for everyone.

By your "logic," the fact that I have not had an abortion disqualifies me from speaking about abortion in any way.

Is that the case? If not, why is my example inaccurate? After all, I'm prescribing a course of action - not having abortions - based on no experience of my own.

I love you, Xena. You know I do. You are the coolest, and if I wasn't a married man........

Uh, nevermind.

But, unless you can point to one of those critters and say "That one's mine," you cannot possibly understand.

Not quite why are you trying to get off the issue at hand and apply every single emotional hot button issue to this discussion..

Lets go the full gambit and bring the Nazi's into it..

But for the sake of argument: would be safe to say that because you have never had a Abortion you don't understand the physical and mental pain it can cause in a woman to the degree *she* understands it?

This Young lady is comparing babysitting her brothers kids and her experience as a kid to that of freeper who are full time parents... Its not wrong to call someone who is ignorant of a reality ignorant..
