  Brummie,

  How do you know dude, it appears you know more about the 60s than you do about "unconditional"?

  I know, because you seem to have contradicted yourself. Try to work out where. It may answer your own question. I do remember the 60's, mainly with affection, but my point, which you of course missed has nothing to do with my attachment to the 60's, but has to do with the cult of the self that developed in CA at that time.

  Do some reading, you may learn something if you do. Or perhaps think before you hit enter, that takes a little less effort.

  KLS even if say "one" parent in the entire universe loved their kids "unconditionaly", then "unconditional love" it is not a myth.

  I can't imagine my children doing anything that would make me stop loving them. Even if they were criminals, they are my children, and they have their mother's unconditional love. That also applies to my grandchildren.

  DOnt hold your breath Mulan, HS is about to show how mothers and fathers are caught up in the "myth" of unconditional love...

  HS, are you suggesting that someone cant love certain people "unconditonaly" while not loving other people in the same way? If thats what you are refuting then you are on the wrong thread..

  I don't think it is a myth at all. I have seen it in action among many "worldly" people I have known. One lady told me once that in her family, (nice Catholic family at that), the rule was you are always family. It was VERY important to them and preached often. It didn't matter if someone became a prostitute or drug dealer, they were still family and would be treated as such. This was tempered of course by preaching of consequences for actions. It seemed to work very well as I met the whole extended family who were very close and happy. All these families I think of put my own Dub family to shame.

  Please show me where I focused my comments on mothers and fathers in my opening comments. I do believe that this sort of love is a myth, it is true, but my comments were a general one.

  Please answer both questions that I have asked you both here and above. Just to remind you of the first one : Do you have unconditional love for everybody, or just your family?

  Sorry mate. You are acting like an idiot. I cannot believe that you are this dense. Why not think about what people write. Don't just start a thread just to try to bash me and not bother to read those answers that do not fit it with your little agenda. You have received a number of answers some pro which offered no evidence as to why, and some against which offered evidence in the way of questions.

  Deal with them

  Hillary, which part of "I can only relate it to my family" dont you understand? I'll give you plenty of time to think your answer to this question through...

  So all of the people who believe that there is such a thing as unconditional love, would love their families even if they were JW's who molested children and were brazen in their crimes?

  Would you love your father without if he sodomized you when you were seven and murdered your sister as happened in Europe recently. He was part of someones family? You would place no conditions on your love of them.

  and dude, dont expect intelligent conversation if you address people in your condesending manner. "Up yours" is about all you deserve.

  oh and Mr "ego ecentric", I started this thread to get a broader response, it was never about *you* dude.

  Read your own threads and you will see that it was you that began with the insults. Again. This thread was posted within five minutes of my comments about unconditional love on another thread.

  Do you think the readers of this board are as daft as you?
