Slippery slope arguments are stupid. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 14/03/2010 12:43:00 AM
I think everybody should be forced to wear clothes from the same manufacturer. Any argument against this stance is wrong, because once you allow clothes from different manufacturers, why, where will you end up?!

Stupid argument.

That analogy is not apt. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 06:10:27 AM 821 Views

That's right, I forgot to add that. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:23:25 PM 753 Views
It's a rather key piece of any attempted analogy, wouldn't you say? Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 03:45:15 PM 645 Views
Again, you're right. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:59:13 PM 632 Views
Yup. Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 04:02:26 PM 734 Views

Kind of a different can of worms then Isaac - 12/03/2010 03:20:35 AM 708 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 704 Views
Hmm. Apparently it is legal to discriminate upon the basis of gender. Imagine that. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 02:45:51 AM 686 Views
It kind of makes sense, given the highly arbitrary and stereotypical nature of gender. Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 03:35:44 AM 622 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 604 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 721 Views
