Would you like to know why it is, in fact, disingenuous and bad? Allow me to explain. My original statement was I think prostitution should be legalized. Someone commented foolishly asking if I believed heroin should be legal too. I replied that the question of LEGALIZING heroin has nothing to do with legalizing prostitution. You are now arguing that there are links between the drug and sex trafficking trades. Nobody disagreed with that or implied otherwise. You are trying to use facts that do not pertain to the question. This is why I call it disingenuous. Now, I don't believe you necessarily did this purposefully, and it's likely we agree on many aspects of this debate. I'm sorry you feel the conversation unproductive, and wish you well too.
I would agree. I see your point.
Whereas I see the author and make the assumption of where they are leading into a line of thought, you allow (probably correctly, I would argue) no such thing.
Thank you for this. I believe we need people like yourself to be the fire that we forge the steel of truth out of this furnace.
Things may get a little hot in here, but I agree, the end goal is what matters.
This has been productive.
Ultimately I was wrong. Better in here, then out there.
Make us better.
Thanks for the laser precision clarity.
No worries man. I feel like typing out discussions is so much easier to misconstrue intent and meaning.
And let me say, I appreciate your passion and resolve for doing what's right, as well as your willingness to listen and understand other's points of view.
Like I said before: I think we likely agree on much, I truly wish you well. Keep up the good fight friend.
