Post About Abortion..

I feel like a lot of the people that are so passionate about the issue do not actually care about the topic as much as they make out. I think that a lot of times people attack others with opposing opinions because of their egos more than it is about believing abortion is okay or not okay.. they don't want to change minds they just want to pick teams and that is why they can't be civil.

Tell that to the clinic firebombers and the FBI

@scrood I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about social media trolls who use the topic as an opportunity to relentlessly argue.

@Misanthropic More civil than domestic terrorists?

@scrood You are twisting the post to fit your own narrative and I have no idea what you are referencing but you are proving my point.

@Misanthropic Confirmation bias

Misanthropic · 26-30, M

@scrood Not really, it is like if I take something you are talking about then reference something somebody did which isn't relevant to what you are saying but promotes my own opinion. That's what you are doing lol.

@Misanthropic Completely relevant

Misanthropic · 26-30, M

@scrood Not really.. You see I am talking about people on the internet who use the topic abortion as an opportunity to draw attention to themselves and harass people they do not agree with where as you are talking about people firebombing abortion clinics probably to promote your pro choice beliefs.

@Misanthropic Close enough . . .

@Misanthropic Do you think when people start throwing personal attacks , it could be because someone has said something that makes sense and they just don't have an answer?

Misanthropic · 26-30, M

@missyann I think it is because they feel like they are under attack when someone has opposing views to them.. so they feel the need to defend their own views even if they are flawed.

@Misanthropic I try really hard to state the reason why I believe the way that I do. I truly like to hear why people believe what they do. I have actually changed my stance because someone was civil and explained their position
