Remarks about myself, or the founding fathers of my country I disagree with. For one, you really don't know me. For two, originally the founders tried to avoid war. Which i would call a sign of logic and reason.

I don't know you other than your persona on Subsim. Honestly, I've no desire to ever meet you either. That does not mean I cannot deduce some emotional responses, based on my own logic and reasoning.

I'm sure that you and the founding fathers use logic and reasoning, however, emotions drive the thinking that starts that process. With no emotional response, politics has no reason to exist.

Stating that one side or another in a debate is using emotion to the exclusion of logic and reasoning is disengenuous at best and unreasonable at worst.

The OP's statement that the mother's emotional responses are irrational is absurd, however that's Bubblehead for you.

There will always be emotion on both sides of any argument otherwise there is no argument.
