Not so much tiresome as sort of pointless. I came to that conclusion when I realized that my next answer to Laura was bergoning on 50k and I was only 3/4 of the way through it in my effort to answer each question and point. And then I realized most of it was simply my attempt at 'justifying' my own values (which was what Laura was doing as well)...

Then came the realization that since we are both pretty set in our opinions, all it would do is set off a string of posts where we (and anyone else who joined in) tried to prove why our own point was the correct one, leaving little allowance for why the other person may have a point.

Surprisingly, this all started because of a generalization that someone took exception to and applied to thier own morals and values...and, if you sit to think about it, we all were more or less in the same camp, but we all had specific details we were getting stuck on, and thus the 'fight' started. Although it;s nice to be heard, sometimes it's wiser to leave it alone, if not for your own sake, than for everyone else who has to 'listen' to it.

If anyone really wants to hear my stance on the questions Laura posed, I'll be happy to answer privately, but I'm long past trying to 'prove my point' on the subject here...let's just say I feel it won't really do much more than start an argumentive round that we all don't need to be subject to...^^

Cheers and Hugs
