I am dismissing fundies as fundies. I don’t wish them harm, but that doesn’t mean I should be open and tolerant of opinions based on misguided beliefs. I think I should point them out for what they are.
By all means do but by calling them fundies you are not pointing out what is wrong with their beliefs you are just calling them names.

Sorry if the last posts seem a bit angry. But try living in Belfast for a while and not getting angry at parisan rethoric.

How is uber-liberal an insult? And yes, I am dismissing fundies as fundies. I don’t wish them harm, but that doesn’t mean I should be open and tolerant of opinions based on misguided beliefs. I think I should point them out for what they are.

I think cocktails are a great way to get conversations going about subjects that’re often shoved under the table as “too sensitive” to talk about

which to me seems totally different to this sentance.

I’m not looking for a “debate” partie where I have to argue with fundies over cocktails.

Also you seem to be also dismissing people who differ from your position as “fundies” which is not very open and not very tolerant. There are many people who are pro-life and not even religious by dismissint them as “fundies” you are just being intolerant of different views.

How are people ever going to be able to sit together and talk over something when people continually throw insults around. “Fundies”, “hippies”, “nazis” “uber-liberal” none of that aids debate. It just turns into a punch and judy contest of who can come up with the best insult not the best idea.

Also just becauses the “fundies” do it does not mean that you have to do. You do not need to desend further into this paritisan bull. You can be better and let the force of your arguement win the day.

America needs to cop itself on all of it. It looks like a joke from over here.

So yes, I’m clearly stating my opinion on the issue, and no, the party’s not open to people who’re anti-choice. That would sorta defeat the purpose of the fundraiser.

Would you be terribly inticed to go to a party called “Cocktails For Life” and expect to get a civilised debate? It is the same the other way around.

Good thing I’m not Catholic :)
lol ya it has its downsides. I am not one anymore but was raised one but one advantage of it is that they believe creationism is a load of Bull. Their thing is that god is watchful rather the interfering. (That people have free choice) and hence god would be more likely to be evolutionairy then creationist.

By the way if you are ever debating a creationist and they use the arguement that it is statistically improbably for life to happen this way just say.

“if god is all know, thus he knew this would be the way it would turn out after millions of years of evoultion so if you believe in god it is not improbably at all in fact if you say it is statistically improbably are you saying that god is not all knowing”

Then watch them go pop due to logic

I doubt there’ll be any prop 85 opponents, so not much chance of hurting feelings.

But Abortion is far too delicate a subject to get a cocktail party. Both sides of the arguement (Well America might be a bit different it seems a bit physco from here) have very sensitive feelings on the subject and throwing a party just seems to be in very bad taste.
