Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Since you keep bringing up law, let's look at the highest law of the land, the U.S. Constitution. Quoting the 9th amendment does also not make it a right. ...

I'd like to see every black person who complains about discrimination sent back to Africa to see how much they enjoy starvation and disease. Yes, I'm speaking to you TreyDay. inally, some sanity. If I were a black, I would be kissing the ground thanking the U.S. I would realize that if I were not h...

Say something more intelligent than baaaaah.

Can we please stop debating word definitions? Because, Farrell, you're using words in ways different from my dictionary, and it's getting really frustrating. Discrimination does not have to have anything to do with rights. If I go door-to-door and give everyone who answers with blonde hair 5$, that...

I don't give a fudge about whats a right and whats not. What are we pushing for here? MARRIAGE REFORM. So it DOESN'T MATTER whether its a right or not. We're trying to REFORM it. When blacks tried to vote, did they just go "Oops, forgot, we're not included in the constitution" and go pick...

I don't believe that last sentence is entirely accurate. Marriage is a 'special right' granted to certain couples (ie, most heterosexual couples who ask for it). So, those people do have the right to marry. We have legal rights, and within those lagal rights are our inaliable rights (live, liberty,...

Standard gas is 10% ethanol.

Great episode! This is going to be great!

Correction - I would quickly find that the law doesn't recognize my right to free speech. This is the aspect of the concept of 'rights' that a few of us have been trying to drill into your head. There are two distinct sets of rights - there are those which are defined by the government, and there a...

I don't know how to explain this any more tactfully. You can not win an argument by repeating the same assertion over and over again without supporting evidence. When the small bit of evidence you have presented is called into question, you must present new evidence or you have lost the argument. I...

My argument is sound. I have used several methods of demonstrating the validity of my position over the last 19 pages. You have used one in an attempt to find major fault in all of the evidence, technique, and wit that I have used to back my position, and have not been able to succeed, as much as y...

And discriminate: To make distinctions on the basis of class or category without regard to individual merit; show preference or prejudice: was accused of discriminating against women; discriminated in favor of his cronies. Not allowing a blind person to drive is discrimination. As evidenced by this...

Segregation is a logical choice.

Ignoring points or facts that are irrelevant is one thing, and not a particularly good way to win an argument. Ignoring facts on the basis that you cannot effectively argue against them, which is what you are most obviously doing, is another. If any of us raise points which you feel to be invalid, ...

Unfortunately, pretty much everybody's arguments in this thread are moot. If there are two kinds of rights, legal and moral, there is no way to argue the point. We only have legal rights. Unfortunately, too many do not truly understand what rights are, so they'll make things up. Moral right are leg...

By golly! If snopes says it is false, then it must be. They're reasoning is flawed. They should have marked that one unknown, instead of false.

pfffft wouldnt have worked. clearly, to topple a dictator you have to kill 18,000 civilians in the process- we all know that. his son was a very brutal person. He would have killed a lot more the 18000 just to instill fear in his people. He used to cut the legs off of people for coming in second pl...

I'm still not quite getting a few of these arguments: - If bans against same-sex marriage do not discriminate against anyone because everyone has the right to marry a partner of a particular "class" as defined by the state, how is the state's power to define that class as "opposite s...
