"See, I don't think you really do. You consistently frame issues in terms of a self serving outcome on one hand, and a clearly undesirable outcome as the other. From reading your posts, I think that you feel you "know that," but there is no real evidence besides your assertion that you do."

Well, the two extremes are the ones that are being debated... Either be a stay at home mom or be a catwoman. That's what these posters believe; I'm just confronting them with their position.


"You are the once who consistently frames things with this immature, either.or dynamic. While there may be some on the board who believe it's limited to one of two choices, they are wrong. The thing you fail to realize is that while rightfully pointing out that they are wrong, that you are wrong also. That just makes you both wrong - your analysis is as sucky as theirs. If you take some satisfaction in that, enjoy."

I like watching narrow-minded people's heads explode when presenting them with a position that they hate. It helps me to blow off steam.

No, not at all. And to the extent that you limit it to that you will be consistently wrong also. It was you who created those two options and have tried to limit the debate to that. Of course, that's self serving. When you frame the debate that way, you have to win.

The range is broader, and therein you may not always win. You rationalize the use of the false dichotomy, but most adults here know that's not the choice. You protest that you are confronting the other folks, and I don't doubt you are sincere. Yet, you chronically are unable to depart from it, which undermines your position more than you may know.

I'd suggest finding another hobby, but if you like it, fine. But I do have to point out that your thinking consistently comes across narrow also. So that steam you may be blowing off might just be your own head exploding. I really can't say.

While your basic position is sound and I agree with it, you seem unable to communicate effectively. But good luck - thinking gets better with clarity and practice. Or so I've been told.
