The point isn't to push a personal cause or belief. The goal should be to keep a safe space where people aren't allowed to threaten others and incite violence.

- RcouF1uZ4gsC 6y agoBut from the view of the pro-life CEO, abortion is violence against an innocent baby, thus any pro-choice post was advocating violence.
- amscanne 6y agoThe pro-life viewpoint considers pro-choice views to be advocating violence in the most direct way possible ("murdering babies"). That's the fundamental problem: there is a huge subjective grey area.
- stingrae 6y agook... you can chose to not take a stance on grey areas and act on clear cut cases.
- amscanne 6y agoI am pretty sure that's the _intended_ Facebook stance, and the disagreement comes over what's a "grey area" and what's clear cut -- which is what makes it a grey area to begin with.
- stingrae 6y agoI don't see how the tweets twitter added an annotation to could be seen as grey area.
- ThrowawayR2 6y ago> "ok... you can chose to not take a stance on grey areas and act on clear cut cases." Eating meat is considered unethical by many and the fact that animals are often treated poorly by factory farming is not deniable. That's pretty clear cut. What ruling would you make?
- anewdirection 6y agoYet my meat comes from sustainable near-wild farms that enhance the environ, not a factory farm. Should I have to listen to some loud vegan breathlessly proclaim all omnivores to be vile and lacking in ethics? Everything is a damned grey area.
