Arlo I have read your example and see that you are fond of setting up straw men
[Arlo]
Yeah, that's the typical response I get from people who want to say
things but hate concrete examples, or having to really have what they
say analyzed.
It's not a "strawman", its an ACTUAL situation that an ACTUAL couple
is going through. Got that? Real people, real situation, how should
the law respond?
I know that escapes a lot of people, who prefer generalities and
slippery slope fear rhetoric. Its sad, really, but I expect it.
[MK]
My "slippery slope" examples are quite reasonable.
[Arlo]
Hardly. I prefer any "line" based on reason. I can see you prefer it
based on something else entirely (hey, if we let gays marry, we'll
have young children marrying farm animals).
[MK]
Any line drawn by reason or bias will exclude consenting adults by
definition and our sense of entitlement seems to know no bounds.
[Arlo]
Hey, why should we allow inter-race marriage, that might lead to 8
children married to 12 ducks!
You know the funniest thing about you slippery slope people, you
always conveniently draw the line after YOU are on the safe side. Why is that?
Here's another concrete example for you. The year is 1966. Its one
year before Loving v. Brown declared anti-interracial marriage laws
unconstitutional. Would you be using your "slippery slope" argument
against that?
And here's another. Do you think there are any similarities between
the Nurernberg laws prohibiting inter-racial marriages and American
laws prohibiting gay marriage? Can you give me a reasoned answer as
to why they are different?
If all you are intend to keep doing is making unreasoned slippery
slope responses, we don't need to go on. If your entire argument
against gay marriage is "gay marriage will lead to inter-species
incestuous polygamy", then I'll bow out now. If I want talk-radio, I
can turn my dial. At the moment I am enjoying some Catherine Wheel on XM.
