Just Plain Wrong

I didn't. I'm asking you. You are the one who went on about other people's sexual practices being in your face.



I'm not a liberal.

So what's your problem with homosexuality again?

My apologies misterman.
.
If you are offended by being falsely labeled a "Liberal"(and I wouldnt blame you) it might be wise to publicly post your politics to avoid further confusion.

I am not offended, I am simply saying it is irrelevant. Simply debate the issue.

Now, what was your problem with homosexuality again?

It was totally relevant because the point I made was a direct cause and effect of liberalism as it related to your post.

Rather than have me repeat myself, you should research me and find out for yourself.

(you might learn something in the process)

It's a lengthy, tiresome document that is tediously drawn up by committee at a party convention, published in the papers, then filed away and completely forgotten.

Of course all the good that is America is due to conservatism.

Honestly, you really are deluding yourself.

But I'm not a liberal.

And more importantly, this thread isn't about liberalism. It adds absolutely nothing to your argument to discuss ideology.

Okay. Looks like you think gays are fine as long as they keep it to themselves. Fine. Yet you don't seem to care if heteros don't. Why?

Sure, until you find something you don't like in it, then it'll be really really important!

How could you have found the answer to your first question without finding the answer to this question?

My posts are written so that even those with nothing more than a high school diploma can get the full benefit of my messege.

Why is it you seem to always assume the problem is with others? Orientation, it's other people who are wrong, not you. Misunderstanding, it's other people's fault they did not understand your words, not your fault for your poor presentation. What this thread has revealed is problems with you, not with gays.

I am going to go out on a limb and bet you blame my post here on my being PC.

Your posts are written in a way that they are filled with logical fallacies. Further, your explanations are based solely on your own moral relativism. My guess is that he is wondering how your morality developed in the way that it has.

Beyond that... and I NEVER do this, I find it ironic that someone accuses another of being dyslexic and then spells the word "definite" wrong.

Diagnose it. There are ways to minimize it's impact as well, though none are hugely effective that I know of.

You know what's interesting about that, it can't really be considered typo (although people will call it such incorrectly all the time) because the I and the A are nowhere near each other on the keyboard.

But I've noticed some interesting things about typing. I know the correct their/they're/there for every occasion because it's very simple grammar to know that, but I often type out the wrong one. All the time.

Whenever I see that I've done it, I think "Why do you keep doing that, Tucker? It's a simple grammatical rule and it shouldn't be all that difficult". Maybe it's because my fingers are dumber than cat****. They seem to type phonetically based on what I hear myself saying in my head rather than according to what it should be. If my fingers hear "they're", they use whatever version of the word they're interested in using at that moment. It's quite fascinating. Same thing happens with pretty much every homophone you can think of.

But another theory I have is that my fingers are getting me back for all the times I've broken them. I think they are still pissed off about that.

Anyway, the point I'm getting at is that it would be very hypocritical of me to comment on an error in spelling or typing, since I am as guilty as anyone of making extremely stupid mistakes in this regard.

But I can comment on telling someone to see a doctor about dyslexia. A comment like that implies that one is confused about the difference between dyslexia and dysentery, which could actually be a sign that they themselves have a problem with the former, hypothetically speaking. Especially when the spelling error preceding the comment is taken into account.

Which would really be ironic.

The definite diagnosis was already made, though, by an internet amateur. At that point, seeing a doctor would be of no benefit. Seeing an internet amateur special ed teacher would be more appropriate, no?

The simple truth of the matter is, society will fair much better if we remain ignorant of each others perversions and believing that all of our neighbors are moral upstanding citizens of the community.

None of which really stated whether or not you think oral sex or anal sex when engaged upon by heterosexuals are "unnatural sex acts".

And I understand your point. YOU think its a perversion, they're not keeping it locked away like a deep dark secret, and thus society must deal with the fact some people are like this and you dislike it because some of them are really over the top. Well you know what, I think people proclaiming the will of god in regards to his "hate" is immoral. I think that people proclaiming tha god condoned 9/11 is immoral. I think people slandering our troops is immoral. Those are the "extreme" example of the people on YOUR side of this debate...does that mean we shouldn't take your arguments seriously because the extreme portion of your side is showing their immorality for all the world to see?

FACT!__They are only logical fallacies when judged by the standards of Political Correctness.

And are based on the moral relativism of a segment of society which has not yet been corrupted by Political Correctness.

Do you know whats even more interesting?

When someone resorts to pointing out spelling errors in a desperate attempt to appear more intelligent than an obviously superior adversary.

(please point out to CaptainCourtesy that there's yet another mispelling in my reply to your "What can a doctor do about dyslexia" post, in case his ego is desperate for another boost)

False. A fallacy is a fallacy.

Lets not be obtuse. Its rather evident what she thinks regarding this. Heterosexuality is not a "perversion" and thus is okay to be seen in public. Homsexuality is a "perversion" and thus shouldn't be shown. Much like it may seem that she would think holding hands isn't a "perversion" but going down on a girl is, so it'd be okay to talk about holding hands in public but we shouldn't let people know or even suggest that anyone ever would lick a girl.

You have an overinflated sense of your own superiority. If you really were intellectually superior, you'd realize that he was not pointing out a spelling error in order to appear more intelligent than you, he was pointing out the irony of your spelling error being present in that particular statement.

That's a key distinction. A truly superior opponent would be able to recognize that distinction, instead of making the intellectual error you have made here by failing to recognize said distinction.

Warning, warning, danger Will Robinson!

That phrase you put in italics...it is in this case completely wrong. It's common sense to know that when you do not know about something, you should learn about it rather than going on long diatribes about it. It's common sense to write in normal english without random _'s. It's not common sense to assume you are the only smart person around.
