That's what can happen when you are raised by a so-called born again parents who physically and verbally beat the crap out of their children in the name of God. BTW, I'll match my moral compass against anyone at anytime.
You don't get it. You have nothing to match with. You've already demonstrated an inability to stay within the bounds of sound judgment by citing a perverse, and more importantly, atypical case.
With people like you raising children, it's no wonder intellectual dishonesty is rampant. Once a person learns to use emotional terrorism and hyperbole to force their position any pretense of persuading others on a basis of mutual respect, or common sense if you will, is lost. More importantly, when used on children, they learn no philosophical boundries exist in persuing their agenda.
Is it any wonder such flapdoodle as "I have a right to be happy" gets such widespread acceptance?
