And you can peddle your judgmental crap to someone who cares. Or you can just continue to not address the question.
BTW - I've been in a very committed relationship for a long time now and trust me, I'm not worried about how much easier its going to be to pick up and leave me just because we aren't married. But thanks for the encouraging words.
"And you can peddle your judgmental crap to someone who cares. Or you can just continue to not address the question."
The main point in my long, initial post on this thread was that "nonjudgementalism" is one of the biggest factors in the creation of this situation. And now you accuse me of being..."judgemental."
If a lot more of us had embraced judgementalism in the last 30 years, we'd be in a far, far better place today. "Nonjudgementalism" is of course the handmaiden to moral relativism, which is what is destroying Western society--more specifically, this country.
It is insidious and corrosive and relentless. It takes reasonable people with intelligent minds and turns them into VERY flexible weenies in a relatively short period of time. Very TOLERANT weenies. Because, you know, we don't really want to judge anyone, do we?
You know, once you embrace a solid philosophy to live by, life gets pretty clear. Not always easy, but clear. "Situational ethics" are out the window. If I'm broke and find a wallet with a lot of cash in it (it's happened to me), I do not think for a second that maybe I'll keep it. It is not mine. How very simple.
Moral relativism doesn't count as an embraceable philosophy, by the way, because it is so very, very amorphous and malleable--and corrupt, in its evil heart.
Here's some of my judgemental crap, in no particular order:
If you don't put in a full, honest day's work, you're stealing (unless you're self-employed, in which case you're just stupid).
If you have a child out of wedlock, by choice, and choose to remain out of wedlocke, you're a selfish, irresponsible child yourself, I don't care if you're the mother or the father (or both, I guess, in the new order that seems to be coming our way).
I could go on, but you might start to take this personally (heh heh). Didn't mean to frost your cheese, let's not get into a flame war.
It is my judgement that Judgementalism may be the only thing that remains to save us.
