I try to stay away from all the political crap now, and even the arguments about God. It's all futile, and it just gets me disappointed in humanity. I’ve noticed a lot of those who do the arguments about God dont act very Christian (love thy neighbour) and instead it’s ATTACK the non believer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never play defense. Only way to win is to not play their game. Exactly. Thats why there’s threads on that app I won’t touch. I believe go with the birthing style (with in reason) that’s right for you and baby, same as parenting style. Im hoping to be the type who does make all baby’s food when on solids, but if we need to sometimes buy store made baby food so be it. im not judging another parents style as long as they’re doing their best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parenting isn't the same thing as piloting a plane. You can't reduce what is and isn't right for your kids down to mathematical precision. As long as you aren't outright abusing or neglecting your kid, then it's kinda up in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, never respond to a personal attack (unless you can somehow make a joke out of it). People always on the attack never defend their stance (lend reasoning) because they know they're always right.

Sometimes I think they're well aware they can't defend their stance. They've just discovered that they can win anyway by putting others on the defensive. Or at least appear as if they won, and appearances seem to matter more than facts, of late. Edited March 27, 2019 by GlitterRose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a better sandwich, peanut butter or jam?! Neither actually.

Likely Guy Posted March 27, 2019 #49 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The crux is that I try to treat every point of view as though it has at least, a self imposed basis in reality. It doesn't make me wrong for doing so, it just helps me understand where they're coming from. There are many people here at UM that I don't engage with in debate because I understand where they're coming from. I still think that they're wrong (from my perspective) but for me to explain to them why I think they're wrong is a wasted exercise. I freely express my opinions and in the last week or so have been told to 'shut up' or 'f* off'. Which, of course, will never happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
