  • I am not arguing with your view point and we are all products of ourselves, but, our familys, along with other external sources, have influesced what we as individuals have become.
    I agree with you, all external sources have a baring on what you become, that is the joy of learning. Why is it necessary to outline our families as a seperate entity.

    To me that seems as contrived as singling out a minority in any other situation. I just don't see the point in seperating the two just as I don't differentiate between gay or straight people, different ethnic origins.

    Let me pose a question, if you are telling a story which involves a caucasian person that you saw walking down the street do you feel the need to say white guy? How about if the guy had darker skin? What if they were female? My world isn't like that. I see a person the specifics of gender / biological sex / race etc are extraneous information that I don't feel the need to acknowledge.
