I understand why people want their own child. After all it's the most natural thing in the world.



Hmmm!, Your phraseology begs the question, what is the most unnatural thing in the world?



Twinkies?

BTW, "Begging the Question," aka Petito Principi, is a form of circular logic where a statement is self-defining.

"People with good literary taste prefer Shakespeare to Harold Robbins."

"How can you tell who has good literary taste?"

"They are the ones reading Shakespeare instead of Harold Robbins."

You bring up rules and principles that I have never heard before. Common folk must be a real pain for you.

What's wrong with circular logic? I am not trying to win a debate. My job is to ask questions. I'm a retired counselor, remember.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Circular logic invites a hangup state. You know, Who's on First and all that.

As a semanticist, whereby meaning matters, I recoil against unintended meaning and work at avoiding it.

I admit that just with conflicting definitions (lexical, legal, technical, precising, etc.) and equivocation (there/they're/their, two/too/to/Thieu, etc.) there is enough ambiguity about that it is difficult for two people to participate in the same conversation.

What the hell, I guess it just don't make no nevermind.
