Harrier can read just fine, he is multi-tasking as he discusses this topic, and he has to be somewhere in half an hour.

He doesn't have time to respond to each of your separate lines, especially when you are being inconsistent and hypocritical.

You cannot be 100% against government marriage and simultaneously want to expand government intrusion into marriage.

So make up your mind.

Which is it?

Harrier wasn't talking about legal definitions - he is talking about the definition of marriage - and that is "a union between a man and a woman".

If government would get entirely out of the marriage business, then marriage would have no legal meaning.

You got that backwards - Harrier is crushing Xanders.

At least Harrier is consistent - Xanders is all over the map and doesn't even know what his stance really is.

Xanders would make a perfect Democrat politician.

So he chooses to be intellectually dishonest and cherry pick. He chooses to be a horrid debater, check.

And he doesn't know the meaning of the words inconsistent or hypocritical, he only understands black and white. This is called ignorance.

Making the government stop discrimination is not increasing government intrusion, it is making them be fair about the CURRENT LEVEL OF INTRUSION. It is a start towards more equality.

I already did, you are just too dense to understand it. You don't get it, and that is not my problem.

Look who doesn't know what a "false dichotomy" is... the fact that you are trying to shove me into a false dichotomy just shows your dishonesty and ignorance on the subject. Any well-informed, skilled, debater knows to stay away from those.

WRONG From Merriam-Webster:

Quote:
mar·riage noun \ˈmer-ij, ˈma-rij\
: the relationship that exists between a husband and a wife

: a similar relationship between people of the same sex

: a ceremony in which two people are married to each other

This is the second time I have proven you COMPLETELY WRONG on this issue, I would drop it if I were you.

They aren't, so there is, and you are arguing about it.

Ah, you have absolutely nothing to the debate, so you just come in and toss out insults.

Go crawl back in your hole.

Bye.

Thank you, it is obvious he hasn't taken a debate class, so this is low-hanging fruit for me... But hey, call me Gallager, I have no problem crushing low-hanging fruit.

Funny, because you are the only person who thinks that. We have limited input from an outside view, and it says 100% that I am crushing you.

No, Harrier just keeps proving he doesn't know what the word consistent means.... this contributes to this merciless cush-fest.

Quote:

Yeah, seeing how I am anti-tax, anti-welfare, etc...

This just further proves that YOU do not understand my position, trying to paint me as a democrat, ha ha. It also proves you are stuck in the two party duopoly, which is not known for well-educated free thinkers.

Period.

Really, you don't appear to have any principles which you will defend: you let other people define words just because they happened to write a book, you claim to want to get government out of the marriage business yet you also want to expand government involvement in it, and you call others hypocrites while being a hypocrite yourself.

Draw a line and hold it, man.

You sound like John Kerry.
