The Response I concocted to 'An Argument...'	by nelzie	2004-03-17 08:29:52
Everyone, Thanks for the assistance yesterday, it put some things into perspective regarding how I should approach my response. Below you will find the extreme opposite end of the position that had been presented to me... I am doubtful that the individual who presented the argument to me will be able to validate any of the extremes I present below. (Begin Response) You present the far extreme of removing all barriers allowing any and every couple from entering into 'inappropriate marriage' as a reason against allowing gay marriage. So answer me this: If we are to descriminate against particular groups of marriage, why not increase the descrimination? Why not ban ALL marriages involving mixed-race couples? Why not ban ALL marriages involving people from different countries? Why not ban ALL marriages involving people of different social/economic and education backgrounds? Why not ban ALL marriages involving people that have low incomes? Why not ban ALL marriages involving people from different religions? Why not ban ALL marriages involving people that follow no religion? The argument you presented to me is one that makes the point that if I am unable to justify the far extreme of my position, then my position must be invalid. I now present you with the exact same argument. (/End Response) Kind of 'snarky' isn't it?
