European Tribune - Comments - Tuesday Open Thread

Tuesday Open Thread | 135 comments (135 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Perhaps we should import the conversation to this OT. I've enjoyed having a good discussion, without the disagreements becoming hugely unfriendly as it can do.

But then it would be helpful to give a short overview for those who do not have the time to read the entire discussion from the Monday OT.

That's why I suggested to Helen that I could seed a new diary taking the key discussion themes from the OT.

Hopefully Helen will have chance to put her diary together.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

A diary would be good. I was going to post a comment but realised it was going to be

two words
wide all
the way
down.

I'm still at work so I'll have to leave this until later this evening now since I'm off to enrol on (another) course with my friend after work.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (none / 0)

Avoid that - put a long word (not necessarily meaningful) in your comment ; its width becomes the comment's width. email works great for that purpose.L

Except if you click on the date of the sub-sub-sub-sub-sub comment that it is hanging from, its back to normal width.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood you. I have no intention of rehashing the abortion debate. I was going to talk about nature vs nurture regarding perceived cultural differences between the genders.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (none / 0)

That was partly my focus too, but I'll leave that bit to you to kick off.

The difficulty is that at the heart of that debate was whether women should have control of their fertility. I could precis the yes side, but simply cannot represent the other. Not just because I disagree with it, but because I cannot summarize a position whose contradictions I consider profoundly dishonest.
