re: #552 Obdicut

You may find that saying the exact opposite of your opinion with absolutely no hit that you’re being ‘sarcastic’ leads to people thinking that you hold that position. you know, because you’re saying it’s your position. When it has the effect of calling me a goddamn child abuser— as well as anyone else that’s ever given a child a voice in the political process— you can expect people to tell you to shove it.

I used a nine year old autistic boy to talk about conditions in the hospital/school he lives in. I had him speak about his experiences. I did so in order to make a political point.

Do you consider that ‘child abuse’? Do you think it was inappropriate for me to expose the lawmakers who decide things that affect this child to the child’s voice?

No…

(and I don’t need a lecture from you on who I should or should not debate)… but anyway… no, I have no problem with that at all. Heck, as you know I worked there for 3 months at ARC, and everyone one of our large trucks, used for picking up used items all over town, 60 trucks statewide, have pictures of various handicapped children on them. No, I think it speaks volumes to the needs of these children.

Line I said above, I was certainly trying to make a point, since I have seen opposition to this use of children in regards to right sided positions such as children and religious rallies, children at pro-life rallies and so on.

So, I was just trying to get a read from the others here.
