As it happens, though, this zoo expects the animals to be on good behavior. Unruly animals may find themselves sent to their cages without supper.

It's a matter of definitions and methods if i see a need and can meet it i do..i don't attempt to force others to meet it...see the difference...it's called freedom...freedom to be charitable and freedom to not be.I find it odd that you say we should be able to get along and yet because my ideas of charity,compassion and such do not agree with your's in that i beleive they are personal and each person should have the freedom to express or not express it as they choose you portray me as not caring.


I remember the "Work is a good Motivator" thread...i never once said that hungry children should not be fed...i simply said that teaching children the connection between work and living or survival was a good thing...my response was not feeling laden enough for you and others and i did not condemn the woman they way you and others did...so you see perhaps it's not possible for you to get along with those you disagree with politically and not just me
You are correct, you did not use those exact words. What you did, however, was post under some photos of starving children that neardc had posted, "Maybe one day some children in America will look like these...." and then, in reference to some liberal-bashing you'd done earlier in the thread, you said "perhaps the children of these very same people". Tone is difficult to gauge online, and you didn't say, "I fear this could happen", or "it would be terrible if this happened", or "God forbid that...", etc. Some such statement would have been most appropriate. As it was, it was impossible to tell if you did or didn't care, were trying to shock, etc.

I know where the compassionate Christian conservatives in my life stand, and we're on common ground on a lot of things. This is why we get along.

That, and the fact that we usually find plenty to talk about that we can agree upon. I haven't talked to any Republicans who don't think Mark Sanford was irresponsible, for example. Or that the protests in Iran were both moving and tragic. Or that CNN went waaay overboard with its Michael Jackson coverage. Everything doesn't have to become a fight.

The reason i did that was because comparing poverty in Africa or South America to poverty in America is absurd,at least at this point,that was just an attempt on her part to take the discussion directly to the emotional and completely bypass any practical considerations,and to say that if we don't get back to what made America the most prosperous nation in the world we could have children in that condition inthis country.

I beleive one should be willing to accept the consequences of what they give their support to,if you support somethinmg that weakens national defense then you should be where the first attack occurs,if you support something that weakens the economy and places burdens on business then you need to be one of the first to loose your job or businesss,if you support something that takes away the rights or property of another then you should have yours taken away as well.....if you can offer any reasons why you or anyone else should escape the consequnces of what they support and others should endure them i would like to hear it.
