121. I didn't say that you did call anyone names

The poster that I responded to most certainly did. You felt the need to explain to me that it's OK for her/him to have strongly held beliefs, which is what I responded to.

I didn't avoid the question... I just stated that feeling strongly about something does not give on the right to act disrespectful (talking about the poster I originally posted to, not you.)

And I will stand by that... being aware that population is a problem (I am not an idiot, so yes, I'm aware that overpopulation is an issue, but thanks for acting like I am) is no excuse whatsover to call people names. Being aware that religion causes massive issues across the globe having to do with all kinds of human rights abuse also does not give me the right to call people names, either... this is a cause that I feel pretty strongly about. I do not consider myself to be a superior being because I do not practice a religion.

And I find it tiring (and offensive) that people who are aware (as am I) that population is an issue feel that they are superior for not having children and call those of us who do have children "breeders", as if we are common cattle.

I don't care what reason you give for it or how you phrase it. Calling people names (as the poster I responded to did, NOT YOU) is not an acceptable response. And you popping over to give me a "good reason" why he/she feels so strongly that they need to call people names didn't really help much.

"I realize it may be difficult for you to have this discussion considering you have five kids, 2 of whom are still toddlers." Seriously, you don't see this as condescending at all, huh?

Have a great night. I'm done with this. I'm not sure what game you are playing or why you felt the need to defend the poster, but I don't feel like playing this particular game anymore.
