Outside of CG bubble, link?

Responding with "Link?" when someone expresses an opinion has got to be one of the stupidest responses possible. Please.

The implication of "Link?" is that the assertion is bunk. IOW, she didn't say women don't do enough around the house, and there is no controversy (outside of CG). "Link?" is much more succinct.

When he asks a rhetorical questions and then adds "I doubt it", he is clearly expressing his opinion. Why on earth is any kind of link necessary?

His opinion on whether women don't spend enough time in the house is not in question. The implication that Beck said such, is.

EDIT: Sometimes, I also ask just to see if they aren't just full of crap when they claim something specific (i.e. not offered as opinion) but sounds too outlandish to be true. Last edited by Indy Coug; 10-12-2007 at 07:36 PM. |

Good post Santos. I also didn't think the talk was offensive.
As an aside, it seems curious to me that Beck is getting all the attention here. Would it change people's opinion of the talk if they knew that all the talks are vetted by the upper-ups? Beck's talk was approved before it was given. I spent conference weekend going to a couple of sessions with the sons of a Q70 who spoke on Saturday - his talk was read beforehand and approved. This doesn't erase the fact that Beck wrote and believes the talk, but it does illustrate that the talk was definitely church-approved.
