...am I just crazy or what. I'm participating in a discussion on a local news website about abortion (I know, I should know better than to debate online on this subject) however, I've had some accusations thrown my way that I replied to thusly:
and had this reply made to me:
My question is would you have inferred that from what I posted or not? Am I just crazy or just not clear in making my point. I'm really at a loss here...
@gsc123 - you are welcome to your opinion as to the level of my compassion but just like your position on this issue, you couldn't be more wrong.
Let me tell you what a real man is. A real man is one that values a woman as his greatest treasure. A real man is one that puts the needs and wants of his family ahead of his own. A real man can ignore the criticisms of the shallow and self-righteous and will quietly continue to do what they know is right. A real man fights injustice and stands up for those who can't for themselves. A real man knows his strength and blessings do not come from his own hands or might, but from his creator.
This world is full of men who like to think they are real men, but they are as far from that as one can get. I hope my daughters never end up with anything less than a real man. As their father, I will do everything in my power to see that they know the difference and make the right choice. The world would be a much better place if all men acted accordingly.

You lost me when you equated a woman with treasure. It sounds to me like you think women are property. Somehow, I don't think I'm far off in that assessment.
At some point your daughters are going to have to choose their own men that they wish to marry, and not the men you want them to marry.
The strongest parents are the ones that know how to let their children fly.
You've got a massive chip on your shoulder and I really hope it isn't passed on to your children.
My question is would you have inferred that from what I posted or not? Am I just crazy or just not clear in making my point. I'm really at a loss here...
