    It seems I might as well cease exchanges with you as well.

      Yes, because that's so much easier than actually learning facts about that which you wish to argue.

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        My opinion is that he has sound opinions.

          But that's just your opinion.

            My opinion is that your opinion about my opinions is subjective.

              That does it. I have changed my opinion and I'm not telling you what it is. You'll just have to assume.

                If you don't share an opinion, it fails to become an opinion and remains only a thought. That's what I think. I mean... that's my opinion.

                    I did reply to your question. You quotemined out the reply, as I stated.

                    You're welcome to run away from the rest of the post you just snipped out, which answered your question. I probably would run away too if I used the word 'adjudicated' and thought it meant introducing legislation.

                    Here, for the very slim chance that you possibly might educate yourself for once:


                    adjudicate
                    verb [ I or T ]

                    us
                    /əˈdʒuː.də.keɪt/ uk
                    /əˈdʒuː.dɪ.keɪt/



                    to act as judge in a competition or argument, or to make a formal decision about something
                    Literally nothing to do with introducing legislation.

                      Looks like Hypatia_Alexandria is upset that she got caught misusing using a word she didn't know the meaning of.

                        Same thing when she got the 'vapours' over me using the word "debate" like so many of us here use it, as opposed to her "correspondent" which nobody here uses.

                        I really do think we have a language barrier. It's like people who want to interact with Mexicans, so they learn Spanish from one of those apps, but it's SPAIN Spanish instead of Mexican Spanish, and the Mexicans have a hay day snickering.

                          I don't know if it's a language barrier so much as a mental barrier. She has a very high opinion of herself and has tremendous difficulty conceding her ignorance, admitting error, or accepting when she's just plain wrong.

                            Does it have to be either / or?

                              The constitution does not mention homosexuality or contraception either and the SSM ruling at least was just as bad of a legal abomination as Roe vs Wade was.

                              There isn't much desire to ban contraception except among radical Catholics (even run of the mill Catholics use them regularly).

                              Some states might delegalize gay marriage again (I don't want to say "ban" because it wasn't really banned before as far as I know), which I hope happens but given how spineless conservatives are I would be surprised if nothing happens here either, like with contraception.
                              "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                              There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                                Do not forget that it was a former "radical Catholic" that introduced the abortion issue to many evangelicals back in the 1970s. Prior to that many Protestants considered abortion a strictly Catholic concern.
