Quote:For crying out loud, you're wondering why this kind of stupid grandstanding is unpopular, when one moment you're standing on principle, and the next, you're accusing your compatriots, who have said little more than "well, we don't actually know one way or the other here" of being an angry mob with torches and pitchforks.I may have been mistaken about the scolding and sarcastic way his post was written. I guess I reacted to that. I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve here, and I feel righteous indignation when a bunch of child protection people drive up and based on what appears to be allegations and hearsay, end up driving off with someone's kids. Sure, yes, this is an extreme case where you wonder why there isn't a license needed for birthing.
