Yes, and to prove they're not just thumbing the comment down because they heard something they didn't want to hear that proves them wrong, they should explain why they dissagree.
Maybe they didn't want to. Maybe they've already argued with you on another poll, and didn't want to take the time to restate all their opinions. I don't mean this is a bad way, but you do tend to repeat yourself in your comments. Regardless, your sudden defensiveness was uncalled for, and probably the reason you're often seen as condescending on this site.
I only repeat myself when it is on a different matter, when someone has ignored it in the first place, or if someone is saying the same thing in which my original post was put on, in which I repeat myself to what they have repeated.
I'm not being defensive, just stating a point.
I see what you mean in regards to the first bit- repetition is often neccesary. But someone gave you a thumb down, and you immediately start accusing the whole community of being over-emotional, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds pretty insecure.
You're right, totally insecure....see I bet he thinks I gave him a thumbs-down....which I NEVER do to anyone, I'm not like that and see no need to personally. But someone with an inflated sense of self would certainly see it as someone giving them a thumbs-down as not a bad thing and not re-think their opinion, but see it more as "I'm right, why on Earth would anyone disagree??"
Not really insecure, just irritated. I can handle it if someone told me why I'm wrong and showed me why I'm wrong, I just don't like it when someone thumbs down a reasonable comment without identifying any actual reason.
Alright then, irritable. But despite all this, it still seems like overkill. It's just a negative vote. It's not an act of cowardice, or anything of the sort, it's just a casual way of saying "I don't agree with you."
I've repeatedly told you why you're wrong, and also REPEATEDLY told you to talk to a lawyer, lawmaker, congressman, mayor, social worker etc....yet YOU refuse. You refuse because you know what will happen. You will be proven an idiot.
You choose to take the 2 or 3 "supposed" agreeing opinions on a site that is frequented by teens, and take that as you being "right". You're not doing thorough research.
I'd have all the respect for you in the world if you had your cause and backed it up with actual FACTS and verifiable research, but, sorry you don't.
Am I a bad person for being pro-choice?

I suppose that is agreeable. Thanks for helping me see that.
