Yeah, you really need to look at that.
I am sure that will make you feel better. If you can't make a reasonable argument I won't answer anyway so rave all you want.
What a funny thread, emblematic of how this plays rolls.
Some critical character from MD complains about some comment or statement attempting to make it suggest something the comment does not and soon enough the whole crowd chimes in whining about the misinterpreted comment. Am I really the only one who recognizes that these kinds of things are just a bunch of hot air whinings and whimperings? I think its sporty to the majority here to make mountains out of molehills then go on and complain about others who make mountains out of molehills for making mountains out of molehills.
Ahh...when will we ever learn.
Love ya tons, Stem
I ain't nuttin'. don't get all worked up on account of me.
Just out of curiosity, what is your definition of the "optimal society"? Would you say that it's more or less in keeping with what the Church teaches?

Or, you could contribute an opinion instead of complaining about the discussion that's going on. Just a thought.

That's what I'm saying. This thread is merely complaining about something that was not intended by the Original author, apparently merely to complain. I point that out and in return its me who is the one complaining. Nah...the complaining sans contribution is the OP and the bandwagoning that's gone on. I'm merely pointing out the problem that is inherent here. Sadly most don't even recognize this kind of stuff.

I would imagine that participating in threads instead of complaining about them from the sidelines might be more interesting. But that's just me.

More interesting? More entertaining perhaps?
Yeah, and about as valuable intellectually as a video game. That is most of what happens here.
In my own way, I would like to see it changed to something more substantive but I don't think it is possible with the present citizenry.
