re: #8 RogueOne

You must have more information than I do. I’ve never heard of the guy but I didn’t see him say he wants to outlaw homosexuality in that clip.

Do you realize that when you play dumb it makes you look dumb?

Actually, you’re mistaken again. My grasp is fine. We’ve already added a ton of laws and a constitutional amendment that says that is illegal. The question is “should it be?”. My answer is based on the assumption that people have the right to associate with whomever they choose whether I like it or not.

Yes, Rogue. I really am very familiar with your and Rand Paul’s line of logic that says that people should be allowed to discriminate against black people in hiring them, letting them shop at their stores, live in their buildings, etc. You don’t need to type it out every time.

As long as the majority is allowed to force the minority to behave in whatever their definition of “morality” seems to be at the moment we’ll continue to dilute our rights.

Do you get the slightest ‘boy am I fucking up right now’ when you talk about stopping people from banning black people from shopping at their stores as the majority forcing the minority into doing something? Like, a little twinge at all?

If you want to stop people from legislating behavior based on their version of morality then you have to oppose them all including the ones you might agree with. You can’t say some are ok and some aren’t.

Yes, that is the idiotic argument the moron in the video above is using. It’s something that’s obvious, trivially, pathetically untrue.

I don’t want anyone to stop legislating based on morality, if you’re stretching morality so far as to include all of human behavior.

Of course, what we’re actually talking about is morality as it applies to personal liberty. Gay marriage, gay adoption, women being able to have access to birth control, these are all personal matters, private, individual liberty that does not affect others.

Dumping pollutants into the atmosphere, banning black people from your store, refusing medical treatment to women because of your own morality, all of these have direct effects on other people.

I really at this point can’t tell whether you honestly think your position that discrimination based on race is peachy-fine and shouldn’t be illegal is actually a sensible, moderate position, or you just want attention for being a glibertarian rebel.

Either way, it just makes you look naiver than the Pauls, which is tricky to pull off.

Have you considered trying to work for them? They could use someone with your mastery of illogic.
