I guess you consider me a douche then, because I would have said said something very similar. Praised God that my kid didn't die before the people got there, and then thanked the people for what they did.
You wanna finish the rest of my quote/reasoning?
You did this with the original quote as well. The words "and" and "or" are connecting clauses that are important for stringing several ideas together. Stopping reading after getting to a part you don't like and forgetting the rest isn't very honest.
For example, "and then thanked the people for what they did" changes the entire meaning of your statement, and excludes said statement from what I was talking about.
Oh, I see. She didn't word it properly the first time she said anything. Yeah, total douche.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
