Pete Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I agree that people label people. Some people like to be labelled too. I guess, no one is 100% a label and nothing else. When one can only see one aspect of a person and nothing else then I think one has judged them because they are not prepared to see anything else about the person. Sometimes it's a bit like asking how many differing types of Christianity exist. The answer I give is well it depends upon how many Christians there are as each one is different in some way. Other times its a question of survival. I may realise that there are many differing natzies around but I think it wise to stay clear of all of them. Link to comment
Ex Nihilo Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think it's natural and helpful to label folks, but the label is only as good as the evidence informing that label and only as authentic as the openness to changing it as the evidence changes. Link to comment
RabbiO Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 There was a reason that Jesus often called the Pharisees hypocrites, they professed one thing but walked a different path.We've danced this dance before. You'll forgive me if I sit this one out, but my objection is noted. Link to comment

panpareil Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I find it more egregious for one to impose control on what others say about you than it is for others to say something disagreeable about you, even if it is meant to hurt. Ignore them. Refute them. But You have no right to gag them. In the end history decides who is correct. Link to comment

panpareil Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 You are such a tolerant, non-liberal!I do wish I could find a positive label for myself instead of just a non-something. I am still searching. Link to comment
Jonathan H. B. Lobl Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just a thought. Have you tried "Free Thinker?" It's a little old fashioned, but it still works. Link to comment
