I cannot possibly see how such a specific discussion, how Buddhists would discuss abortion, is not served vastly better by its own thread. And since there are, so far, no practicing Buddhists, here, how this discussion would not work better in a forum made up of Buddhists.
If this, is really, what, you, want.
But it’s not what you want. I mean, notice how you keep deciding not to go where Buddhists are.
Rather, you spend time trying to wrap Gib’s get - which is about getting things like how Buddhism would help him and what is enlightenment and Nirvana and why for selfish reasons (not judging by saying selfish, just noting it has nothing to do with morals) he should participate.
You however want to see Buddhists discuss a specific moral issue, even though you made it clear nothing attracts you about Buddhism AND there are no practicing Buddhists present AND there are easy options now given you by Phyllo, but allways within your skill set to find.
This is why we don’t take you at face value. What you say you want, and what you do, do not match.
But no one could possibly be irritated that you hijack threads and do not respond with candor, perhaps not with yourself either.
So, what do you do here…spend energy trying to place your offtopic agenda into the word ‘get’ rather than simply going ‘Yeah, you’re right, even if lightning might strike here, if I want to see Buddhists discuss and issue, I would likely be better off going where there are large numbers of Buddhists.’
No, that would take a minimal adult maturity.
