Supreme Court Same Sex Marriage Argumet

[Anima]

I've neither commented upon nor denied that discrimination can be legal, in fact, my personal appraisal of the situation -depends- upon that very irony.   So........you were saying?

Ah. But I was not only saying that discrimination can be legal. I, like Aristotle, am even saying that discrimination can be and is natural, ethical, and moral. Where as it appears you are saying that though it is ethical it is immoral to be discriminatory.

Ad hom?  You've just made it painfully clear that you don't understand what that term means - so I'll disregard going forward.I understand what's being discussed, you've seen my opinion of what's being discussed- and the -manner- in which it is being discussed.  Did you have a question or did you hope that I might have changed my mind since I posted last?  

I do not know argumentum ad hominem... Surely, we are not trying to claim that calling people bigots and idiots for holding a view or argument is not argumentum ad hominem? The subject being discussed is discussed in the particular manner as the goal of the petitioners is to change the ethical law. Thus the argument shall have to satisfy ethical legal principles and be made in accordance with ethical legal arguments. Now if we would like to argue the subject under some other principles (such as morality, biology, etcetera) we may do that as well (though we may want to do it in a different thread so as to not confuse this thread). Just let me know.

On to lawless s killings en mass are we?  Gee, and it all started with the gay marriage question - see what happens, see how slippery the slope is! 

As I said in another thread. There is the natural law (what is physically possible), the ethical law (what is socially acceptable), and the moral law (what is individually acceptable). When there is a conflict ethical supersedes moral and natural supersedes ethical. So if we are arguing it at law and that fails we resort to resolution by the natural law. Which undoubtedly be as peaceful as all resolution conflict in the wild
