This particular "debate topic" is one that often devolves into an "either/or" mode very quickly. I was only trying to point out that sometimes the best answer lies somewhere between the two choices.
Since you said you "aim to please", that reminded me of a very old joke about the sign in a men's public restroom from the restroom attendants:
WE AIM TO PLEASE.
YOU AIM TOO, PLEASE.  |
Understood - I kind of thought that too. That's probably why I am so interested in this debate. Because a lot of times, there seems to be a stance taken that is - either/or. A discussion may soften their stance a little or make them more convinced. I, for one, may flip-flop my opinion on this subject while I read others' opinions and posts. Excuse my political-like manuevering in the meantime until I am confident that my opinion is the only opinion
