Welsh 'Gay' Wedding & IDIC

Re: Welsh 'Gay' Wedding

You're statement is a textbook case of Godwin's Law I'm afraid, someone thinking the inevitable reference to Hitler will strengthen their argument by inserting it into a discussion over gay marriage.

As I've said, you're an exceptionally predictable individual.
And your statement is a textbook case of being an idiot. Are you really defending hatred and bigotry?

Yawn. This is how Hitler and the Nazis started...
You have also used the Hitler/Nazi reference. This makes your own argument suspect, eh?

The difference is when I said it I was doing so in jest.

When you made the slightly distasteful connection between people disapproving of a gay couple getting married and the wholesale slaughter of six million Jews you were being serious (and, as demonstrated, predictable.)

Bigotry is bigotry, hatred is hatred. The original post I made was in reference to letting someone have their OPINION about gays. My post was about the fact that some OPINIONS are dangerous and should NEVER be allowed, lest they become even worse. IF people had allowed the Nazi's to continue having their opinion, how many MORE Jews, GAYS, and Romani would have gone to the ovens?
 
FWIW, I agree with nightwind1: Bigotry is bigotry, hatred is hatred. Hitler's extermination of the Jews as a people is the most well-known of such atrocities, therefore it is referenced more often.

The fact that some self-important person on the internet claims it is "lame" to use the analogy in an argument does not make it true. Indeed, it says more about the person making the claim, and his followers.
 
Yah, I guess I could just have easily said: "It's Saddam Hussein's considered opinion that he should use chemical and biological weapons on his own citizens. Since that is his opinion, we should let him do just that."

Or "The Aryan Nation's opinion is that blacks are a subhuman race who should be eliminated. We should let them have their opinion."

See the comparison yet?
 
And that's enough for this thread.

nightwind1, Sandoval - both of you got too personal in your comments.

Sandoval - you in particular need to curtail your aggressive posts. If you want to go toe-to-toe with other posters, take it to the Neutral Zone.
