Can't help you there. Maybe read her second and third answers to my questions again. Maybe, just maybe, you'll see it too.


I ask her something. She fails to answer it, goes on a tangent.

I ask her something else, she flatly declares she doesn't want to answer because she doesn't see the point in doing so.

I can't force the conversation forward. There's only so much you can talk for both people involved in the conversation at once before that other person starts complaining you're putting words in their mouths.

Let me give you an example, because I happen to agree with her in that I'm not interested in having my personal morals codified into law either.

According to my personal morality, it is immoral to cheat on your spouse. Yet, I am not interested in making that illegal. Likewise, there are things that *are* illegal but not because they're necessarily immoral, but rather because making them illegal makes society function better.

If I were to draw a Venn diagram of the intersection of "things I agree should be illegal" and "things I agree are morally wrong", it would be quite clear that the latter does not necessarily inform the former.

If you can't see that, I can't help you.
