1.)Except the poster basically did that and YOU straw manned him.
He dd not claim they were physically similar but of similar levels of evil in his mind.
2.) Your OPINION of what should be done or that a middle ground is needed is irrelevant. Your OPINION is of no use to anyone but you as is your thought process.
3.)Yes, slavery is not physically similar...
4.)but based on a persons thought process and opinion, it's reasonable for someone to view their evilness as similar.
5.)Rape and murder are not physically the same exact same, but I would view them similar in regards to their evilness.
6.) Someone else may disagree, but their disagreement is based off THEIR opinion and view point unique to them, just as mine is to me.
7.)Again with your ego thinking you magically no someones intent and attempting to use that as your reasoning to straw man him.
8.)Based on digs statement, his meaning was clear...not comparing them PHYSICALLY but in terms of the level of evilness in his opinion.
9.)You sir are the one engaging in the fallacious debate and straw man creation.
weird you did something different, maybe you accidentally nicked my name or something in the qoute because this doesnt come up in my who quoted me, i also notice no blue dot and my name is is small letters?
anyway no biggie just saying
1.) did what, the posted did nothing of the sort accept say they are the same the abortion is todays slavery which is a complete irrational and illogical joke
the statement made was "Legalized elective abortion is the ethical evil of our time like slavery was in the 1800's."
again since a slave(one human being) isnt inside another human being how are they ethically alike?
in one case we are talking about ONE life on an individual level and how they weren't treated as persons even though they qualified in every other way and they were beatin, bread and used for slaves
in another we are talking about TWO lives, not one. and its a collision of right to life since one life is in the other
not the same ethically. One is always a threat, maybe very small maybe very large but a threat to life but its presence and location. If he would like to expand more then fine but that would take ASSUMING more than he actually said and it would also make the comparison pretty silly.
2.) no it was very relevant as to the point i want you to know that your FALSE assumption that it would only take a person thinking a ZEF is human life and worthy of rights makes it a reality they are comparable.
that describes me and in reality that makes your assumption not true.
3.) correct
4.) and like i said i simply dont see it, i see no logic, facts, or reasoning to compare the two since on an individual level its ONE life vs Two and a slaver is not inside a person.
5.) i agree, gross assaults on ONE person or life that are both against the law. I see the clear reason behind that
6.) true and they would be hard pressed to say why they disagree with your explanation of " similar in regards to their evilness. " They would have to make a different comparison all together to place them different.
7.) no, im simply going by the exact words that were written, the only one that guessed and assumed at intent was you. I went by the words. spo there was no strawman. again if he wants to ADD to his words he is free but anything else is assumption.
8.) i agree it was clear and this is why i addressed at such and never said they were physically the same.
the level of evilness was related to ethics, unless his ethics ignores the fact that abortion deals with right to life of TWO vs slavery which is one i can only go by his words. ANd if thats the case again he can clear add to his statements and clear his statement up and if the addition makes the comparison reasonable i bet id agree.
9.) also already pointed out and as i have explained, you are mistaken, i simply went by his words and nothing else.
