(241 posts)It gives one the opportunity to ask questions and discover entirely what another is thinking/feeling etc. Pollsters typically hang up on me thinking I am just jerking their chain when they call and ask, "Are you Pro-Choice or Pro-Life". I answer, "both". They hang up, BUT, when speaking to someone personally, it is usually an opportunity to explain that while I support a women's choice to an abortion, I tend to have a philosophy of being pro-life (this often leads to what *I* consider 'life'). I do not support the death penalty. I do not hunt or fish. I do not like killing most anything and when I do, I take no pleasure in it. So, in reality, *I* am both (which after all, they are asking MY opinion). I do not feel the need to fit any one's labels other than my own. If someone really cares about my opinion, they listen. If not, then I guess they really didn't want my opinion after all.
