[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 76372983, member: 412388"] Sorry...you don't know what? That there is a discussion to be had? That some of these matters are difficult to resolve? That each example needs to be assessed on its individual merits? Or do you want to bundle all these examples together and reject them en bloc as you just did? Do you think that's the best approach? Comparing some individual's extremist views about the depiction of Jesus versus Jefferson's ambivalence to slavery? It appears that you do. Or would it be better to put forward your arguments why someone might be wrong to take whatever position they are taking on a specific matter and then (this is tricky bit)[I] listen to their arguments[/I] and make an honest appraisal of them. And yeah, I'll admit that takes some time and some thought and some empathy. It's certainly a lot more difficult than throwing out a few links and shouting that they - whoever 'they' are, will be coming for you next (not that that makes any sense whatsoever in this context). Again, it's your call how to approach these matters. But why don't we give it a go and discuss Jefferson's attitude to slavery? Do you think that he knew he was doing wrong? [/QUOTE]
