"Good side" vs "Bad side"
Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2010 1:53 am
I am a bit curious. Do you (plural) consider opinions about something to be diversified, or, just "good side" vs "bad side". By that I mean, the "acceptable side" vs any different level of disagreeing with that "acceptable side".
For example: "good side" vs "bad side" could be, in the subject of abortion (depending what's your side on the matter), if you are totally in favour of it (totally, for all cases), people like Sarah Palin who are totally against them even for cases of rape and dangerous health issues to mother to keep child, be considered as the same side as people who are in favour of it, but not use it as a "substitute to contraception" (which means, people not using contraception at all, and if they got a child, they do abortion to not have him/her). For the other side, Palin's side, even people who permit abortion for rape against mother or health issues for mother to keep children are in the wrong. Pro life is typical "good side vs bad side" kind of person.
I noticed that people harboured the pro life way of considering others opinion, by classifying them all in same bag. Are you shocked to be compared to pro life? Well, you should rather be shocked to have the same behaviour as they have, even if your ideas are complete opposite. Pro life being the main "bigots" I can think about, who cannot accept any other kind of thinking, and will not miss opportunity to diabolize and hyperbolize their opponents no matter what stance they got to generalize them as the same antagonistic entity.
Neither do I side with pro life or the "substitute to contraception" side. Given repeated abortions cause cause harm to body, I think it should be used when it's needed, required. But people who use it as a substitute to contraception shouldn't be able to do it, because that's their own fault if they get children. If they were to have used contraception but despite that they got children, well...then, abortion maybe, but they might as well just have lied.
