Arlo you make my "slippery slope" case with your inconsistencies.
According to your own stated values, "8 queer muslims marrying 12 something or others" is in fact a viable reality to you if they are consenting adults. Read your own words again: Exhibit A: Arlo: Your slippery slope of 8 queer muslims marrying 12 something or others... that's "reality"?? Yikes. Exhibit B: Arlo: And, as I said, if they are consenting adults, MK, they should. Why do you care? How would their unions effect you? I am not "hiding" behind anything. I've answered clearly and straightforwardly. Consenting adults should be able to choose their own unions. The state, if its going to confer benefits, should confer them regardless if someone else's union is different than yours. It sounds like "anything goes" is a moral position for you. Your insistence on bringing up inter-race marriage is a red herring. Nice try fella. Arlo I am starting to think that you suck. ________________________________ From: ARLO J BENSINGER JR <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 5, 2009 8:36:13 PM Subject: Re: [MD] The New Socialism - Wired Magazine [MK] Arlo my "typical response" might be reflective of a pattern on your part. [Arlo] Don't sell yourself short. [MK] Even if your example is ACTUAL it is clearly an outlier. Let's schtick with reality. [Arlo] So a real case, actual people, and (I assume you are familiar with something called) "case law" is not reality? Your slippery slope of 8 queer muslims marrying 12 something or others... that's "reality"?? Yikes. [MK] You are the one hiding behind young children and animals. Muslims and fundamentalist mormons, among others, are actively pushing for recognition of their cultural practices. If gay marriage becomes universally recognized then these groups will have a strong argument. [Arlo] And, as I said, if they are consenting adults, MK, they should. Why do you care? How would their unions effect you? I am not "hiding" behind anything. I've answered clearly and straightforwardly. Consenting adults should be able to choose their own unions. The state, if its going to confer benefits, should confer them regardless if someone else's union is different than yours. [MK] Your other examples do not apply here and it is interesting to note that many blacks do not support gay marriage. [Arlo] Oh they do apply, nice evasion. You guys are funny with that. Refuse to answer simple questions, use fear based slippery slope rhetoric. Again, its 1966, MK, would you use the same "slippery slope" argument against inter-race marriage? No? Yes? Why or why not? And who cares if "blacks" support gay marriage or not? Like I said, you guys and your slippery slope always conveniently define yourselves on the "yes" side before you draw the line. I bet if "marriage between blacks" was being debated, they wouldn't buy your slippery slope argument one bit. [MK] ""Your experience of "love", with a rich tapestry of Air Supply and St. Vincent Milay to draw from, is a much deeper, much richer, historical process than what your dog "feels"."" - ahahahaha... [Arlo] Humor makes the dialogue fun.
