...it is so important to listen to exactly what the person in question said, from their own mouth or get direct words from their own pen in a documented source.
That is exactly what I asked of you.
You paraphrased and summarized but didn't provide the basis for your conclusions.
If I know exactly what text you are addressing, I can read it with my own perception.
In an effort to understand your point, I provided a quote that you said: "Yes, that is a quote from which I base my opinion on how horrible Vance's exact words were."
All I asked was for you to explain what was it he said in that quote that you thought was so horrible.
I gave you my interpretation and it didn't seem so horrible.
If you won't discuss a single paragraph, how do you expect to have a discussion on the bulk of his speeches and interviews?
{The linked article] doesn't change the words HE chose to use in the commencement speech.
Okay.
What exactly are HIS words that you object to?
But, we can't have a conversation about it if you don't watch speeches. It is like analyzing a football game that you didn't see.
I don't have to watch an entire football game to analyze a controversial play.
What I find horrible is that there are people who do not want the responsibility of having children or can't have them.
I think you misspoke here. If you didn't, I disagree with you 100 %.
I didn't fail to support my opinion. You are nit picking everything I say.
No. I'm struggling to get you to answer my question and support your opinion. If you can't do that for one paragraph that you contend supports your position, then why should I believe your perception on the rest?
One last time concerning that paragraph (from my earlier post):
Unable to get you to support your impression of "horrible" I'll give you my impression:
He criticized journalists (and others like them) for implying women regret having children.
If you don't feel my impression is valid, then state yours and the reasoning behind it...PLEASE.
