Reply #120: Nice way to twist my words into exactly what I didn't say. [View All]

If you had bothered to quote me you would have shown that I said that while I support legalizing prostitution I wouldn't suggest setting up a bordello in Illinois.

The question isn't whether anyone here believes a law is "right" or "wrong", it's whether a bounty hunter who chases criminals should be allowed to break the law in his attempts to capture them. I don't support child pornography, but that doesn't give me the right to go to Thailand and kidnap pornographers and I do support legalized prostitution but that doesn't give me the right to set up a brothel in Illinois. We at DU try to change the culture that brings about poor laws in our country and we work to elect those who would legislate in that vein, but we don't usually support vigilantism (although if you look hard enough, I'm sure you can pull out an example).

Gee, some would say that I was saying that I don't support breaking laws. Strange you would come to a different interpretation and not bother to paste the quote or give a link. Some would say that makes you a person who deliberately tries to deceive others, but not me. I just say it makes you look like you can't handle an honest debate.

As for the question of whether he was soliciting a minor, you don't need to use the exact words "I'm soliciting you for sex" in order to do that, but I think you know that as well. At this point I really am starting to wonder why you seem to have such an interest in making this sound like a political hit job on the repubs, even to the extent of using deceptive pseudo-quotes to silence others. Something just isn't right here.
