Black People : SIMPLE QUESTION....

[daroc]

simple question that may bring a complex answer...

when u dont say no..are u simply saying yes?

 

[Nita]

Ummmm

Could you explain in more detail please because I'm not sure exactly the kind of responses you are lQQking for.
Give us an example or something to help us better understand.

 

[daroc]

ok

for example if u dont condone sex- does that mean that u promote it?

or if u dont give permission to do something( if u dont say no)- does that mean that u said yes?


im not really looking for a complex answer- jus a yes or no- what first comes to mind ... nothing more i guess

hope that helps

I've heard it said that silence is often a sign of consent and it does make you wonder whether that's true or not. When people don't speak up and out about issues--either in favor of or against--it tends to send a message that you don't care either way. Voting for instance...might be an example of how not casting a vote against something will only serve to open the door for that which you may be against to take place.

My humble thoughts...

I think there are people in the world who say nothing simply because they know not what to say. For some people, not answering at all is their way of saying "This has nothing to do with me." If I don't agree with something, I usually speak up about it. However, I must respect another's opinion/conviction. If they say "blue" and I say "turquoise,"... am I right or wrong when I keep silent because I think they are wrong?
