re: #235 Aceofwhat?

What duty did I perform? You mean “parenting”? Is it someone else’s job to help my children flesh out their identities?

How did you help them flesh out their identities?

Note: on a subject as delicate as this, telling me that i will shame my children is not an improvement over telling me that I intend to shame my children, especially when the source is one wholly lacking in parental experience.

It should be. The difference in intent is clearly important. If you seriously think that someone saying that your course of action will result in something you don’t like is the same thing as saying you intend for the result that you don’t like to happen, your logic is incredibly flawed.

And I’m not wholly lacking in parental experience, thanks. I just don’t have any biological kids of my own.

I can take it. Don’t sweat it. But the semantics of ‘intend/will’ don’t work when discussing someone else’s kids, and someone else might lose their shizniggity in a similar situation - not without reason, either.

And a gay parent might loose their shizniggity about you saying that somehow protecting your children from gay proselytizing is a duty of a parent.
