talking points that piss you off

"Just because I oppose someone's right to marry doesn't mean I oppose equality under the law or anything."

"Just because I oppose someone's right to marry doesn't mean I oppose equality under the law or anything."

Speaking of which: "Gays are just looking for special rights" and "You have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex!" Homophobes in general just piss me off.

Ah yes, my two favorite strawmen.

"Homophobia is the same thing as racism"

Wait wait what ?

How is homophobia different than racism exactly ?

Um, one is basically pre-judging or hating a race of people who just happen to be of a differently ethnicity. Another is a natural feeling of unease at abnormal sexual attractions.

To me, their are black people and white people. I don't recognize 'gay people' as a group, I recognize that certain people have abnormal sexual attractions, but that's doesn't make them a special group to me, no matter what the particular attraction may be.

There is nothing biologcally 'off' about people born of a different race, it is part of the identity. Abnormal sexual attraction is obviously biologically 'off' since it has no natural purpose. Therefore, feeling uncomfortable towards it is natural, and for alot of people probably would not fade with more exposure like racism.

Basically you're implying that everyone who is not born with the same orientation as the 'average person' is somehow not natural or what you self-righteously deem 'abnormal'.

You really don't have any idea what you're talking about if you think homosexuality can be classified as merely a fetish.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

That's a simple fact. You can die of an overdosis of alcohol, but not from smoking pot.
Why does that irritate you?

It's not that it's factually inaccurate; it's just a very poor argument. In fact, to me, it's a perfectly good argument for banning alcohol.

Because that was such a success.

I don't think I've seen this one mentioned yet: "Democrats are weak on defense."  Just because nothing can be further from the truth.
