A friend.....still?

[petereater]

Prop 8 is no doubt a major negative in trying to reverse legalized marriage for gays in California and I truly love everything that Mayor Newsom has done, but the United States is far behind many of the Industrial nations of the world, so the tone has already been set. We, as a nation, are the ones behind on this.

I just thought that I should mention that the list should not have one event compared with each other. It was never an attempt to equate one with another. It has more to do with observing differences in opinion on various events.

Well, in that case, I have a few friends and family members who hold some of the views opined in the original post of this thread, and they're still my friends/family.

Primarily because I have compassion for them, knowing that the views that they hold aren't healthy, and that at least one of us within that circle has to lead by example.

Please answer the following and lets assume that you discussed these issues with your friend and your friend was unwilling to change his/her position:



1. If you have a friend that supported and pushed for the extermination of Jewish people, would you still be their friend?





2. If you have a friend that was fighting to end allowing couples of different races getting married, would you still be their friend?





3. If you have a friend that was pushing to exterminate the entire middle east, would you still be their friend?





4. If you have a friend that was pushing for laws to bring back slavery, remove non-whites from school, and insist that they sit at the back of the bus, would you still be their friend?





5. If you have a friend that supports taking away your basic civil rights, would you still be their friend?









.

Are talking about a friend whose core values is all 5 of your questions?

I wouldn't have anything to do with anyone who stood for those things, much less enter into a friendship with them.
