Yeah, I'm not sure quite *that* much cursing is required, since I think you'll have a hard time finding anyone here who doesn't agree that this
particular event is stupid. (At least, no one showed up the last time.)
... But then, I do my venting by mowing down hundreds of chinese soldiers, so I don't
know. Maybe it is required.
I heard a news story on Prop 8 a few weeks ago, where someone they talked to said something to the effect that if same-sex marriage is legal, what's to
stop pedophilia or bestiality being justified based on claiming love. Has no one explained the concept of consent to these people? If you're going to make
slippery slope arguments, at least make sure the ground is sloping in the appropriate direction before trying to convince people it's slippery. I'm
sure there's much more reasonable arguments of that form that could be made here. (I'd still think they're *wrong*, but probably not out-and-out
*crazy*.)
