I think you're the four-hundred-first person in this thread to state that joke or a variation of it.

Fallacy

Because I don't agree 100% to marriage being for all couples I'm a homophobe The stance that gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married is homophobic (using a broad sense of the word; I'm not saying you're afraid of gay people). It's pretty hard to argue against that. It's like trying to defend...

Those studies are interesting, but I don't think that they prove (or offer good evidence) plants have intelligence.

Fallacy

How come no one ever realizes that plants are alive too? They don't just mean "alive" in the literal, biological sense -- they mean alive as in sentient. Just because they don't scream doesn't mean chopping them down or plucking them doesn't hurt. Vegitarians are just killing a different ...

^Everyone, skip over my response to "1ofthechosen" and read Arrow's instead. It's much better.

Fallacy

I know what you mean. It's hard for me to reject the characters of well-meaning roleplayers who are nice and all, but don't quite fit my criteria. The best way to deal with it, I think, is to let them down as softly as you can, and maybe recommend some other roleplays that "are better suited fo...

Fallacy

Marriage has been and always will be the unioun of a man and woman. Outside the convictions of my faith as a source for reason; I can look throughout history, studying cultures absent of my beliefs and yet we share a common defenition of what marraige is. One can argue with examples of past nations...

Fallacy

Here's my take. I'm sure someone else has said this already but.. meh whatever. I don't care if you want gay couples to have unions or partnerships or whatever you want to call them. Just please don't call those joinings a marriage. Outside of that give them everything that everyone else has. I mea...

Fallacy

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Everything has been done -- sure, there might be new ways to present your ideas, or maybe put a twist on them, but originality doesn't really exist. I think that's besides the point, though. It doesn't matter whether your work of art is "original&qu...

Fallacy

Don't get me wrong, I support a more sane organization RSPCA, but PETA are just too extreme, and believing animals deserve preferential treatment over us humans is absurd, they deserve respect and shouldn't be abused, that of course is obvious. In what ways is PETA extreme? My problem is what they ...

Fallacy

Simply having a different name for the same relationship that conveys the same rights under the law serves to make a strong distinction between the two and provide further social commentary on the stigma toward the subject matter. The framing of words is more important than many people realize. For...

Fallacy

Sciamancer already gave a pretty good reply, but I'll have a go. Fallacy, given that I'm an Atheist and don't believe in faith-based belief systems as justifications for any kind of amoral behavior, I am too, and I don't either. That's mainly the reason I have no problem with polygamy or polyamory -...

Fallacy

In Islam, if the man has more than one wife, he's supposed to spend time with them separately. There should be none of this business with the man having four wives in bed with him. That would be a lack of self-restraint. Well, that takes all the fun out of it. Fallacy, I urge you to research for yo...

Fallacy

I didn't hear about this add, and although yes it isn't tasteful at all, I find it hilarious. Everything is censored now, you can't breath without some tight prick taking offence to the way you did it. So, as far as I'm concerned although it's distasteful there's no reason not to publish it. If eno...

Fallacy

It really has absolutely zilch to do with any sort of A/C. Even if it is supposed to be two temeperatures (hot and not-hot?) on each side. Since when do advertisements usually have anything to do with the product that's being advertised? At least there's actually a fairly strong connection with thi...

Fallacy

...What the hell did that ad have to do with air conditioners? Do not get. Look at the bottom -- "A different temperature on each side". It was representing that with the "steamy" and "nonsteamy" panels on opposite sides. And I can see where it gives that "pedobea...

Rulke wrote:I'd argue that freedom of speech, even if I don't agree with it, is positive and or neutral comment. As you believe enough in freedom of speech not to limit it.

That poll option implies that you don't like the advertisement, but think that they have a right to air it. One-sided.

Fallacy

Islamic polygamy is sexist, so I take issue with it, but I don't have a problem with regular polygamy (or polyamory). In fact, I like it, and think it should be legalized here in the US.

Fallacy

Oh, and the whole "promoting pedophilia" argument is just dumb. Would you be so kind as to explain? How is it promoting pedophilia? The "steamy" panels are in the right column, where the woman is clearly not a child. Oh and I just noticed the poll seems a little one sided. That ...

Fallacy

Legal: Prohibition does not work. If abortion was outlawed, women would still have them -- the only difference being it would be in some shady back ally, and hundreds of times more dangerous than in somewhere like, say, Planned Parenthood, where things of this nature can be regulated. Moral: Humans ...
