Re: are you for real?
You've gotta be kidding!
quote:
Sure, but what we can see from the Japanese American internment is that you really don't have any rights that the government doesn't allow you to have.
What does that even mean? Human rights are inalienable, even where they are forcibly denied to people. Just because a government refuses to acknowledge a right, does not mean that it does not exist. That is the whole point of the concept of human rights.
What about blacks under slavery? By your logic, they had no right to their freedom, because their government did not recognise that right..
What about the Jews who were slaughtered in the Shoah? The unavoidable extension of your argument is that they had no right to life in the first place, because their government did not recognise that right.
I am well aware that you are hostile towards homosexuals, but are you really willing to throw the entire concept of intrinsic and inalienable human rights down the crapper just so gays can't marry? Get some perspective. Actually, just to tie back to the topic of this thread (remember that?), here is some perspective.
Gay Bashing
Christian Bashing

I’ll clear out of these boards with a fond farewell to those who have troubled themselves to engage me. I’ve listed my email address in my profile if anyone cares to discuss these matters further. Or I’ll see you on another forum somewhere in hyperspace.
So much for that.

laughable non-issue as "gay marriage."
If it's such a non-issue, why your own obsessive interest in debating it? Well, I say debating...
