Gay Marriage Ruled Legal in Connecticut

[kahljorn]

This is an example of the slippery slope fallacy, the false assumption that one thing must automatically lead to another, more extreme example.

No actually the slippery slope was before when i said banana at the end.
That's not really a slippery slope. The fact is that if we allow gay people to marry because there is love (or most other reasons)-- what other kinds of relationships have love?

And if the divorce rate has jumped significantly from when interracial marriages were allowed than it probably follows that it would jump more when other types of marriages are allowed, which are considered unwholesome or whathaveyou.
If anything it's false cause because I was attributing the increase in divorce rates to interracial marriage when many other social changes have taken place during that time.

So are you arguing that we shouldn't allow interracial marriage on that basis?

...yes

and man why do you pick on such stupid arguments when i posted several actual thoughtful things. fuck you. You just want to blow yourself. And your counter-arguments aren't even good.

I never said there wasn't. My sole point was that the institution of marriage is not static.

Right and my point regarding that was when we find out what's right maybe it will be static. And also the fact that it has changed in the past isnt a necessitation to change in the future. Maybe those changes were actually wrong.
You were indicating that love is the reason to marry. I merely pointed out that love is achieved in civil unions and it isn't any more meaningful because you have an official decree of marriageness.
