Audrey,
You bring a whole new dimension to our conversation. I think, I can converse with you openly because you seem to be an open minded person. The present societal structure is very complex, and it getting more and more complex everyday. In any society, there are some popular practices accepted by most people; some practices are accepted by some people, and other practices are accepted by only a few people. I believe, it will be a futile effort to try to impose any ones views onto others, and it will be detrimental if any group try to dominate the other. The best thing is to accept and respect our differences and move on. I think, I am able to clear my views. I have no disrespect for anybody as long as they do not disrespect me. I do not like to be exploited by anyone or any group. My philosophy in life is: Live and Let live. The world is big enough to accommodate everybody. Unfortunately, we are in a competition to prove who is better than the other. This
race for superiority is causing distress in our society, and that's deplorable.
Nationalism is not the source for the hatred between groups. If anything, nationalism should bring people together. Of course, anything extreme is bad. If we eat too much, that's bad for health. Ultra dose of anything is bad.
Those who are ultra-liberals, almost everything is acceptable to them. Their moto is if you like something do it. In otherwards, they are not guided by moral, religious, and social boundaries. In Seattle, there is group of ultra-liberals who think it is their right to sex with animals. That's an example of a moral decay to many people. Eliot Spitzer, a social/moral liberal, is one of those suffering from a moral decay.
I do not want any religious teaching at school; that's up to the religious institutions and up to the family.
I have heard this argument "it is my body." The truth is, it is your body, but you have another body growing inside your body. These two bodies are different. It's like a parasite, growing on a tree. It's looks different, behaves different; it is different. You cannot say that I can do anything to the other body just because it is inside me. It's not a tumor you want to take out. I can give you another example: if you put tomato seeds under the ground, pretty soon it will start sprouting. At the beginning they do not look like tomato plants. If you destroy them just because they do not look like a tomato plant, you are loosing the future tomato plants. If you let it grow, soon you see beautiful tomato plants, and soon you will get delicious tomatoes that give you so much content and satisfaction. Of course, you could change your mind and take seeds out one by one before they sprouted; that's not destroying a tomato plant. But, after they have sprouted
they are no longer seeds anymore, they are the future tomato plants.
I will never understand your arguments against family structure. Family is the nucleus of a stable society. The future generation learns moral, religious, and societal values from a good family. Procreation replenish ones generation and race, as a whole. Without family structure, generation will vanish faster. The argument that family structure is unnecessary is an ultra-liberatarian view, which I will never understand. Most people build family for procreation and that is good for all races.
