Gay Marriage

[Tal]

With the crackhouse comment people could start an argument about legalizing drugs.

Anyway, the main difference between how a crackhouse and gay people effect society is that actual stasticics seem to show that a crackhouse would increase crime, and probably has other effects that have been shown bt that I can't think of right now, with little or no positives.  Allowing gay marriages, and improved gay rights in general, hurts some people's belief systems, but for sure it helps another group of people psycologically by getting them more accepted, into the prycologiand letting them cal advantages of marriage, which has more of an effect than the belief systems.  A crack house has actual negative effects, while having better gay rights has some negative effects that people know for sure happen, but also some positive ones that are worth more than the negative ones that people know for sure will happen.  Whether better gay rights destroy the "moral fabric" is something that people disagree on, and also is something nobody can show. 

I mention gay rights because gay marriage is a part of them and my opinions stretch to other arguments that may come up.

About whether the argument is infallible, no ti isn't, but it's still pretty good.

And the "other side" could make the counterclaim that gay marriages would lead to an increase in the AIDs infections which does affect everyone. If you play with blanket statements expect a blanket party. Now as I said before, I did grandstand on my statements about the crackhouse/brothel/child abuse center comparison but the main point that I am driving at is that the argument that it doesn't effect a person can't be defended. It isn't infallible. Whenever you come across someone who is passionately against something they will find a way to state how someone else's activities are effecting them negatively. For the record I am for legalization of gay marriages but only entered the fray when I saw the "infallible" argument. ;)
