Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
i noticed this in that article too


"Of course, if you believe that a "change in the definition of marriage" to include same-sex couples is itself harmful to marriage then marriage will be worse off even if no gay couple actually gets married—but you don't need studies to make this argument. To me, this definitional fear has always seemed far too abstract to count for much."

it seems you have shot yourself in the foot what?

thankyou bruce,
i thought the whole point of a debate like this was to present your' arguements and reasons whilst being honest. if someone asks you to imagine yourself in a situation, then if you cannot or will not then i would expect someone to admit it. of course that is if someone is capable of such things that grown ups do.

the lack of empathy for someone else is something i have been told to be wary of in a person, there was that thread a while ago to do with sociopaths and pycologically disturbed people. that displayed the same symptoms.

back on point, if that is the best you can do for evidence then you are scraping the barrel my freind.

take care all
