- thank you. that link didn't work for me, but i was wondering if that was one of those pieces. - citizen b. Nov 4, 22:46

      - I've pointed out the logical flaws with the Sommervilles P.O.V., you're the one who brought up silly "right to disagree" arguements. - musubi Nov 4, 22:58 3

        It's the arrogance and intellectual laziness of dismissing all varying opinions as 'bigotry' that prevents you from appealing to your opponents. - Dr.Vermin, pundit Nov 4, 23:03 1
        
        I'm still waiting for a logical reasoning that doesn't use illogical exteremes like protecting procreation, polygamy or marrying animals. - musubi Nov 4, 23:07
