    "since it is one of those questions that you are damned regardless of how you answer. "

    I disagree. You are only damned if you answer yes. If you support establishing a country that has such laws, where is your moral base? If Israel were to establish such a dispicable law, the liberals would be howling for her blood. And, what moral foundation can you use to contest those laws if someone wants to apply them in your country? After all, you failed to answer the question once.....maybe you'll fail to answer the question when it's closer to home.

    That's OK, your non-direct answer is also an answer.

    "but I am a person who looks to the future and puts some faith in mankind to change things."

    That is one of the differences between us. I look to the future with one eye on the past and put my faith is in God.

    "I'm not against learning from history, religion or even acts of hatred, or as in your comment, laws that exist, but I believe in studying these things it is mankind that will change things in the future."

    And what have you learned? What are the chances that, having voted "yes" or "sitting out the decision (same thing)", positive changes will occur? Once a Palestinian State is established, how long before it acquires offensive weapons and attacks?

    "This is sort of way off topic but I will ask you a question which is sort of like the one you asked me."

    I don't see it that way, but no problem.

    "As an American do you support a country and government that allows abortion?"

    Yes, I do. As long as I don't have to pay for it. I don't see the connection or your point, but I don't feel damned because of my answer.
