Let's hear your thoughts Jet it might give us all another angle to look at. From this thread all I can gather is that we all want to see help given but in some cases members feel the help should be targeted at those most in danger and in need

PS I always assumed Jet was male ...

Another great post Cherie from the Queen of Common Sense.

As for Jet 'She' might be a 'He', in which case I apologise. I think I assumed Jet was female because of some subconscious thoughts of 'Jet' the Gladiator.

Kirk...I enjoy reading your posts too. I find you go into a good bit of detail and bring up things that make you think about aspects of a subject that didn’t occur to you previously. But that can also mean you can over analyse sometimes - in my humble opinion - which I feel you did with Joey’s posts and I don’t want Joey pushed further away from this section of the forum by his posts being unfairly misinterpreted (which I believe happened in this case) so take heed or I’ll give you this

I think this notion that there are sides is a bit over exaggerated, Kirk has threatened to put me on ignore more than once, water off a ducks back, as adults I think we should be able to have a heated debate and move on

Love you Kirk, I might hate you tomorrow though

But then, I will STILL love you anyway, because I am a fool.

Of course Cherie. But jabbing away at someone (Joey) and reading too much into his words isn't debate. It's not really debating the issue in question, it's denigrating the person themselves to some degree, two very different things...
My word, I've had my arguments with Joey. Biggies. We are both passionate in what we feel, but we always move on eventually and there are few people I respect and admire here more than I do him because I 'get' him - and it certainly isn't because I agree with him all the time or because he courts popularity any more than I do. Sycophancy turns my stomach.
As much as I like to read and often enjoy what Kirk has to say too (sorry for referring to you Kirk here but I'm replying to Cherie who mentioned you in her post), with all due respect I feel he was out of line concerning Joey on this one.
My, I've had 2 of the longest posts I've ever made in the serious stuff in Serious Debates today. Enough! Bye.
