I do not feel there is any point in continuing an argument with someone who is so fixed in his views, we go round and round (and round) in circles. Lots of evidence has been offered to counteract the view that smoking whilst pregnant is not harmful, or up to the choice of the mother, and at some point someone has to stand up and say, hey you know what we're getting nowhere here.
However MOSTLY it's because it's just so painful to read what he has to say and frankly I'd rather not have to. Honestly is the best policy, after all.
And once and for all, can we all stop trying to kid ourselves that this is debating? This is simply squabbling. So I can hardly appologise for not bringing the Oxford Debating Guidelines into a thread on a teenhelp forum full of teenagers. But if you'd like me to I'd be very happy to procrastinate over the holidays by making a thread explaining how it should be done. |
Honesty is not the best policy. Think it through and say whether you truly believe that. And if everyone posted along that line of what your original post said, it would get lost. I can see it now. Person: Hey, I disagree with you and you're asking for facts, but I don't want to research it so I'll just say to stop talking.
Only one credible site has been posted that based its information off of one study. Six years is considered old in medical research time. So I think he or she is justified in asking for more information supporting the other side's beliefs.
