ksmybuttons, Let's talk about some of the things I have to teach my daughter

[SINthysist]

Like being abandoned to die because she made the mistake of being born a girl in a backwards communist land...

Any ideas on how to approach that topic?

 

[ksmybuttons]

Ah, you adopted? And do you teach her that it is important then to always try to help those people who are not wanted? That it is important to have compassion for all people who's leaders do not always have compassion for them?

 

[SINthysist]

Well, once she's learned better how to read and to reason, we will discuss leadership.

Leaders to not lead thier followers to slaughter when there is a better way.

Madmen do that.

There is one hell of a big difference between Ghandi and Arafat.





And yes, I adopted. For a hateful person, the story of those poor little girls in China was pretty much all I could bear. So I did something about it.

But it would seem,you decided my passion was hate because I am on the other side. All conservative viewpoints are mean, hateful and all liberal viewpoints are kind and caring, eh?

 

[ksmybuttons]

I do not label conservative or liberal. I am a humanist. I do not believe in killing. I don't put any qualifiers on it.

I do not teach leadership to my child. I live my life so he can learn by example. Yes, I fail at times and I admit it to him. He is young and learning by concrete examples. I do not call people stupid, I do not condone killing, I do not believe in war as it has been fought historically. I find it to be much more destructive than constructive. I teach him that being kind and helping people is what will help him become a good person and that it does not mean letting others make you compromise your beliefs. We do not call others names. We do discuss behavior.

It is your behavior and your beliefs that I have been asking you to question.

You will have to be more specific.

You equated me to Hitler.

I've been here going on three years. There are many things I am. I am not what you have decided I am.
