> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > You couldn’t tutor me if you tooted a flute, dude. The point isn’t that you’re wrong because everyone disagrees with you: you’re wrong because you’re a stubborn moron. The point is that you’re wrong despite having had your errors explained to you in a wide variety of ways. If only I’d explained it to you, the fault might lie with my pedagogical skills. But that’s clearly not the case. This might be the stupidest thing you’ve ever posted. Not **ElvisL1ves** -stupid, but really stupid for you. The “stubborn” comment is just the Appeal to the Masses obfuscated with different language. And my “errors” may have been explained, but not in a way that I find convincing. In other words, if 1,000 people explain to you what you don’t love your wife, if you’re not convinced, you’re stubborn? A stupid head? This is what cracks me up about people on the left who profess to be good debaters. The possibility that I don’t agree with the arguments because we’re coming to the argument with different value sets doesn’t fit in your pointy little head. When you think about it, given what you’ve professed to value around here, that’s pretty fucking amazing. Either that, or your just a full of shit fraud. I’m still hoping for the former, but hey, whatever works for you. And it seems you forgot about that little bit of ignorance regarding Slippery Slopes that I educated you on. But hey, like they say, education is a thankless field. ---

Oh, wait, no. Something like that though. We can’t modify the definition of marriage anymore. The way the word had been modified up to about 10 years ago is where we must freeze it for all time. ---

The problem here is that when I say I love my wife, first that’s a statement that I’m the best situated to evaluate, not everyone else; and second, it’s true. On both counts, then, your analogy fails: you’re no better situated to evaluate your statements about the egalitarianism of your proposal than anyone else (indeed, because of the aforementioned profound stupidity, you’re significantly worse situated); and second, your statements are false. > [@](#): > > A stupid head? This is what cracks me up about people on the left who profess to be good debaters. I know I should be tolerant of the random cackles of the mentally infirm, so I will be.

But hey, like they say, education is a thankless field. There may be a few subjects in the world on which you can educate me: the consistency of your bowel movements, the name of your first crush in kindergarten, what you cry out when you hit your head with a hammer. But these subjects are remarkably few, and the meaning of any term in philosophy is not one of them. ---

Imagine how great things would be if any of the Christian dipshits who start their anti-marriage rants with “now I believe in equality for gays in other areas, but…” actually did believe that instead of falsely claiming to believe it for rhetorical purposes. ---

While I certainly respect the tenacity of anyone who will ‘stick to her guns’ for an entire decade of being defeated in debate, I also question her ability to learn from her mistakes. Just drawing a line in the sand is not sufficient when the tide of human affairs is washing over it. Perhaps you should choose another way of discriminating against the rights, privileges and responsibilities of others. ---

On cue—ON MOTHERFUCKING CUE—perhaps the dumbest motherfucker on the boards comes in (summoned by me and he unable to resist) and puts his nose into a discussion he knows nothing about. For your information King Moron, I was referring to an old discussion LHoD and I had regarding the fallacy itself, it had nothing to do with SSM or any other type of marriage. Unfuckingbelievable. And no, I won’t be taking you to Mindy’s! ---

**stpauler** , I commend you for starting this thread. But I regret to say that IMO it will have all the effect of a RO Pit thread on some act of human stupidity that exposed a small child to irreparable injury. **Magellan** is supremely convinced of the supernal rightness of his proposed ‘solution’, and adamantinely impervious to any criticism of it. And he is privileged to hijack any and every thread devoted to any question related to same-sex marriage, its legal footing and impacts on society, into [del]a debate[/del] dueling monologues completely bypassing each other on the Magellan Civil Unions Plan. Why this might be the case, it is not permissible to discuss in this forum. I will stretch such goodwill as I may have left here to the limit by suggesting that you might get an answer by privately contacting one or more of the Forum Leaders listed on the menus – but I rather doubt it. It is a shame – it is a major societal issue with a wide range of interesting questions and ethical concerns related to it. But it does seem to be the case. Oh, and I wish to retract the compliment I paid **Magellan** in the GD SSM thread hijacked by **David42** last month, that he seemed to have quit doing this, and to apologize to the Teemiing Millions for having said it. ---
