WTF? S T R A W M A N

Exactly!!!!

Exactly!!!!

So you admit you used a strawman. That's a start. Now learn what one is.

I admit that my example of strawman is a direct parallel to yours

I made no strawman. You did. You need to learn what a strawman is.

Here's one thread that's dying a painful death.

Oh sorry you used hyperbole. I strawman to point out how fucking idiotic your comment that Christians want to ban alcohol.

I didn't use hyperbole. It was a hypothetical.

He stated his position: "call it civil unions because religious idiots will get their panties in a bunch if you call it marriage."

I asked "why do we care what religious idiots think? Do we pander to everything they get their panties in a bunch over?"

Way over your head.

Post when the shrooms wear off.

As a lesson, PapaG posted a strawman a while back.

Maxiep posted "since government can't discriminate" and PapaG posted govt. can, see Nazi germany.

Maxiep's position wasn't at all that government couldn't discriminate if it chose to, but rather that government can't by law (or should not) discriminate.

PapaG did not at all address Maxiep's position, but rather stood up the nazi argument as if it were maxiep's and argued against that.

In your altered state reality. Indeed!

[MarAzul]

Why did you skip merriam webster? It was the first link in the google search results for "marriage definition."

Didn't suit your needs.

Well done.

Because Webster online does not match the one on my desk. The online version has been altered.
By the authority of whom? Why? To please the Gay minority? Let um pound sand!

 

[MarAzul]

You didn't. MarAzul did. PapaG can't read.

uh, no. MarAzul did not and I can't even imagine why you said it.

Reads, "we don't need to own him because we have him under contract." Otherwise you would need to.

Wow! you have a screwed up mind. Here is what I said:
"Under contract is fine, I like it that way and here in Portland too."
Pretty much the American way of doing business. But I guess your mind is faulty.

I guess in a thread about slavery and in the context of Sly's post, you don't come across the way you think.

Well, I know Sly was posting in jest. I in turn posted a fact that I am pleased we have Lamarcus under contract (as opposed to a Slave) as he is my favorite player.
But I can not control what you infer but I do wish you would not post an out and out lie fabricated in your muddled mind.

I posted in jest, too.

And gave you the chance to tell me you oppose slavery at the same time.

Ok, I will have a short chuckle.

 

[maxiep]

Because you didn't take this stance until gays wanted to get married.

I've always held this position. Usually, I don't let your moods and a-hole posts piss me off, but your accusation of bigotry has done it. Eric, go fuck yourself. My two closest friends from high school are gay. I watched them struggle with it, lie to their parents and friends, try to convince themselves they were straight and try to live a lie. I saw them come out of the closet and have some of their lifelong friends shun them. I watched straight friends of mine make bad relationship decisions and get divorced multiple times before 30, yet my friend has been with the guy for 19 years and can't even get married. I've been to a number of gay weddings and the end of the evening is always sad to me because I know when they leave Vermont their relationship won't be recognized in other states. I love my friends like family, and it pains me they don't have equal protection under the law. My sexual preference doesn't mean my feelings on this issue are somehow less than yours.

I don't really give two shits that you are attracted to men. Just because I'm attracted to women doesn't mean you get to claim superiority in this argument. I've tolerated your chemical imbalances on this board, but this accusation of bigotry speaks to just what a small person you are.

SlyPokerDog is a miserable excuse for a human being.

 

[maxiep]

Like I said. Those religions can do whatever they want. The government hands out marriage licenses and marries people. Let them do their job.

Under your scheme, am I supposed to bring my marriage license in to some govt. office to have it replaced with something else?

Nope. It's just reclassified as a civil union. Thanks for playing, though.

I don't think you have any idea what quotation marks are for.

 

[KingSpeed]

This proves to me how hateful SlyPokerDog is. Can we ban this poster please?

 

[maxiep]

SlyPokerDog is a bigot. He can fucking rot for all I care.

 

[Denny Crane]

I think I got your position to a "T"

Answer this:

Would you even care what Marriage is called if not for the "needs" of religion?

Needs in quotes, because it isn't really needs. More like a desire to enact fascist rules on someone else who isn't even involved with them.

I love language. One of those loves is the preciseness of language. Civil unions connote a joining in a legal framework; marriage connotes a joining in a spiritual one. I'm for gay and polyandrous marriage, as long as it takes place in a church. I am for civil unions for all when it comes to the government. I am against marriage being tied to government at all.

Thanks for playing.

You didn't even come close, actually. And to put it in quotes is frankly deceptive.

Marriage connotes the civil joining, too. My civil marriage license says so.

Are YOU really being precise?

Or just "precise?"

 

[KingSpeed]

Maxie- Read the quote that you responded to. Did you have that stance before the gay marriage debate in this country or not? If you did or did not, then say so. But don't attack me personally.
