Agreed.

And I admit - I oblige him in his quest for attention far too often. But its just so much fun to poke the stupid monkey.

Auraptor, why would you deny the correct use of that term as if it means something else? Why on earth did this circular conversation happen?



Right wingers love to redefine words when they get caught in their bullshit.

It seems honest, rational and sincere debate can only occur when one agrees fully w/ the extreme, hard core Lefties on this board, and even then, under their arbitrary terms.

No, with you, honest, rational and sincere debate--or "debate" in any form, actually--is completely impossible. You are, in every respect, the essence of a "troll".

In a nutshell:
Quote:

In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /'tro?l/, /'tr?l/) is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

That's you, in virtually everything you post.

That tolerance you mentioned? When have I not shown it to you, whenever you actually make sense? As in, not just outside RWED and politics, but sometimes even AGREEING with you on politics! You trash "The Left" and anyone who disagrees with you; you even trashed ALL WOMEN when I quite politely disagreed with you about that "speed painter". Don't talk to US about tolerance!

Uh, Rouka, you've been around long enough, you know the answer to your question: BECAUSE RAP CANNOT ADMIT TO EVER, EVER BE WRONG, of course!

You mean like " marriage " ? That's the Left redefining words, not the Right.

Er, no. There is a push to redefine the law around marriage, which is not the same as hijacking a word for your own political purposes. Not a good choice for your argument.

I think it happens from both sides. Political discource is so despressing. Full of spin and half truths twisted to fit an argument or an ideology.

Perhaps on this board we can try to do better than that, no matter where on the spectrum we sit.

Disagree with that.

It beautifully evolved from a property exchange between men (property = woman) into an equal partnership. Opening up that partnership to include same-sex couples seems like the LESS revolutionary step.

civil unions solves the problems which gays seek to have addressed. Redefining marriage, however, only opens the door for more 'inclusion'. Polygamy has all the standing as does same sex marriage now. There's no compelling argument to keep 3,4, 6 people from sharing their love with each other.

But hey, no one wants to be mean, do they?

Got a compelling reason to NOT have polygamous marriage? Then use that to prevent it. Don't stop same-sex marriage if it's something else you don't want.

Thanks for making my point for me.

I don't follow?

I merely meant to say that "If we allow this anything goes" is a nonsensical argument. Anything does not go, simply because usually there are sound reasons against most of those proposed escalations that wouldn't just disappear when same-sex marriage is a reality.
