I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

this is a pretty pathetic attempt to wring just about any argument one can. Charles should have married Camilla in the first place but because he basically wanted to have his cake (ie the throne) and eat it too...there ensued a whole royal mess. the two are not even related.
I dont notice gays having any trouble whatsoever speaking up for themselves in our culture. it is those who do not want this lifestyle rammed down our throats whether we want it or not who seem to be silenced. speak one word at all that is not in favor of men marrying men and women marrying women, one word as to why it may not be the wisest social decision to allow this public social sanction and you are suddenly a hater. it is very interesting though, that those who scream the loudest about "tolerance" usually are VERY intolerant about something and do the very thing they despise although they usually dont see it as such. Katie is VERY intolerant of what she and a small band of likeminded parents have labeled "non attachment" parenting (read anyone who doesnt do things the way they do and subscribe to their beliefs) on that she is MOST intolerant. when you get right down to it, liberals are hypocrites becasue they always betray their own line of thinking.
as far as reading something I disagree with...well why not...do you only allow things to go in your head that will just stroke your sense of rightness or do you check around to see what else is out there?
"Anonymous" is REALLY getting on my nerves. This person has been leaving a lot of comments on this blog lately. She seems very judgmental, full of anger and hatred. As much as she states Katie is intolerant of others views, anonymous seems equally intolerant of views unlike her own.
"Anonymous" is a troll who needs to crawl back under the rock she came out of... I suspect her venemous tirades have much to do with her own marital problems.
oh PULEEZE......"my own marital problems"...PLEASE... my marraige is not perfect but we are working things out and seem to have things in a proper perspective. so what if I have left a lot of comments...so havent a lot of people....a lot of whom have thier own websites that are virtual shrines to their own opinions with all kinds of vitreous comments about everyone from the president to conservatives to people who dont parent the way they want to to their own family members, coworkers and customers. as long as some one agrees with you thats all just ducky and no one sees "hidden issues" and hostilities in there..even though its pretty obvious to someone even reasonably healthy. but if someone disagrees with you..hey its open season. welcome to life on the web. you dont want people openly commenting on your freely stated opinions: dont hang them up for all to see. limit them to newsletters sent out to likeminded friends so you can all mutually pat each other on the back
Anonymous, I don't think the problem is so much the fact that you disagree with others views on parenting, marriage, politics, whatever. I think the problem is the way you go about expressing your disagreement. The world would be a boring place if we all felt exactly the same way about everything and I don't think most people have an issue with others disagreeing with them. It is how we grow and learn, hearing other points of view. But you can disagree in a kind, fair, respectful manner. You do not do this. You disagree in a very attacking and hateful manner. I wonder if you are as attacking and hateful to others in person or if you simply find safety in your anonymity on a blog to act this way. Yes, it is true, a blog is a public place. Others will read it who feel differently than the blogger. Just be fair in your disagreements. Attacking Katie for being divorced is not fair. We all make mistakes in our life. You admit yourself you have had marital problems. It's great you've worked through these, but don't attack others who did not manage to do so for whatever reason. You say Katie has been intolerant of others who do not follow her parenting views, breastfeeding, etc. I don't know this about her. She said in response to you awhile back she has mellowed. So perhaps forgive her if you feel she has been unfair to others in the past. We all make mistakes. And even if she were "intolerant" in her disagreements of others (I don't know if this is true or not, but supposing it is) ... does this justify your being "intolerant" in return?? And, of course, we all surround ourselves with "likeminded" people... is there anything wrong with this? We tend to be attracted to others with whom we share common interests, points of view, etc. I'm certain you also surround yourself with people who are "likeminded" to your own ideas.
you havent read my comments carefully. I am the one who said to be fair Katie had mellowed. and I paid her several comments in there along with the criticism. I am not sure that I am "attacking" Katie for being divorced...people are human, they screw up. what I AM calling her on the carpet on is questioning whether her extremely dogmatic views on parenting played a role in that and if so then people have a right to know as they contemplate whether her opinions on parenting are just that: her opinions, or whether they actually merit people considering doing likewise. given that parenting pertains to family life I dont think her divorce is totally irrelevent to her subject matter.
as far as the issue of this post does...anyone who disagrees with the gay agenda is a "hater" or "intolerant" unless they bend to that viewpoint. it doesnt matter how nice you are or how you sugarcoat it...if you tell certain individuals that God did not make Adam and Steve but Adam and Eve...well...then...you are probably only a few steps away from being osama bin laden himself or worse.
