Oh, it is definitely self-defense. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 12/03/2010 05:52:50 AM
It's self-defense in the same way that a talk show host who cuts off the mic of a detractor who is winning the argument does so in self-defense. It would be more compelling if they were victims, but they started the fight with the initial ban.

That analogy is not apt. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 06:10:27 AM 769 Views

I think you mean "I'm afraid that again that analogy is not apt." snoopcester - 12/03/2010 02:45:23 PM 652 Views
That's right, I forgot to add that. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:23:25 PM 708 Views
It's a rather key piece of any attempted analogy, wouldn't you say? Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 03:45:15 PM 600 Views
Again, you're right. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:59:13 PM 585 Views
Yup. Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 04:02:26 PM 689 Views

Why don't you show me where I said marriage is holy OR made a religious argument, you imbecile? Cannoli - 12/03/2010 10:32:42 PM 700 Views

Kind of a different can of worms then Isaac - 12/03/2010 03:20:35 AM 664 Views
What?! Now that is a can of worms I could see getting in a fight over. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 01:24:47 AM 663 Views
Hmm. Apparently it is legal to discriminate upon the basis of gender. Imagine that. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 02:45:51 AM 640 Views
It kind of makes sense, given the highly arbitrary and stereotypical nature of gender. Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 03:35:44 AM 572 Views

No no, I know how you feel. I'm just disinclined to have sympathy for the school. beetnemesis - 12/03/2010 11:28:35 PM 564 Views
Alternatively, I have little sympathy for the school, I just don't have much for her either Isaac - 12/03/2010 11:56:08 PM 676 Views
