Recursive Paradox

(a rather bigoted arrangement in and of itself, no?)

Because visiting bigotry against the sum of a group in retaliation for the bigotry of a portion thereof is of course the rational and ethical thing to do. rolleyes

To be entirely clear (in case of misunderstanding) I'm criticizing the tradition and its harmful effects on a certain disenfranchised group of people. I am not calling married individuals or the culture that made the current incarnation of marriage what it is asinine.

So you're making a generalization about the tradition and suggesting the tradition, and not the bigots to support specific kinds of the tradition, are responsible for misconduct?

I never said the sum total. Why do you have the impression that I meant the sum total?

Might have something to do with the fact you never specified, merely derided the whole thing. stare

Let's do it this way:

Recursive Paradox

Marriage Christianity Wica Gender Reassignment is an asinine tradition and really does entangle a lot of really stupid social undercurrents with what should be a simple legal contract between romantic partners divinity and it's followers a person and their body.

In other news, what is nicer than sitting on the grass with a cat, a guinea-pig, a laptop and a pot of mini-oreos?

Doing all that with a glass of cold chocolate milk.

I have good news, all y'all. biggrin

1. I haven't been hospitalised since I was fifteen years old.
2. I haven't had a serious respiratory infection in three years.
3. My asthma's under control.
4. My histoplasmosis infection is dormant, and has been for years--at the moment, it's presenting a danger to neither my lungs nor my eyes.
5. My breath tests are almost in the normal range.

Taking all that together, my doctor decided it's safe enough for me to start a jogging program! biggrin (With rules that I had to promise to follow and a few followup visits once I start, of course) So yey. ^_^

Remarkable how you continue to fail to explain how I have actually shown bigotry and continue to operate under said unexplained assumption. Truly remarkable.

If you can show me that marriage as a tradition (in it's current incarnation) carries either a multitiered definition that is applicable on a wide social basis (allowing there to be legitimization of poly individuals and meaning that the delegitimization of poly folks is entirely the fault of equivocation on the part of bigots, like in the case of gay marriage) then I will gladly concede the point and happily see this in a far more positive light.

Or alternately if you can show me that the definition itself does not force a social application of one individual + one individual in the social contract that marriage creates with no opening for adjustment and that the bigots have been twisting or even lying about the meaning to achieve their own ends then I will, as pointed out above, gladly concede the point and see marriage in its current incarnation much more positively.

But until then the claim that the it is merely the bigots and not the widespread entirely mainstream application of the tradition itself is a little bit unjustified.

You're going to have to explain how there was an implication of the entire history of marriage being derided. I can understand if a lack of clarity (which I certainly apologize for) on my part would prompt you to ask what I mean, but assuming I mean the most offensive thing possible to you? Not a terribly good way to handle the situation.

Because poorly constructed analogies built from a lack of understanding of what your opponent has said and between items possessing no similarities at all within the context of your opponent's argument are such a great counterargument. *rolls eyes*

Appeal to emotion fallacy has been noted too.

Also, I think one of the instructors at my dance studio is going to be on So You Think You Can Dance will be on the next show. He was in the Top 40 last year, and there's been video cameras about. Ironically, I'll miss most of it because I'll be at class.

I don't think he made it though ...he has classes all summer long going on and is even starting a new one.

I have a friend who just made it through the first round of So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Except I don't think that disclosing to your friends the fact you have on FB is appropriate when you're a mild cosplay celebrity and thus have 2100 friends on Facebook as a result. rofl

I know this guy was allowed to say that he did very well. But that's where it ended.

I'm getting my bike back on Sunday!

Which means I'll be able to go and do some nature-seeking and some of my more nature-based rituals since I'll actually be able to get to those spots.

Also, I can get to that apple orchard two kilometers north of my place and get some fresh apple cider. ninja

Twitter is the new 666.5C.

On Tuesday, I literally read the Toronto City Council debate on bike lanes, for three hours, just on Twitter, thanks to fact several people were twittering from the council chambers, including the mayor, his chief rival, and the transit commissioner.

Which is entertaining now because me and a friend I didn't talk to that much over the year, we're just Twittering away. We're not even really really good friends, but we're just randomly chatting at each other.

I might not be around for a while. Family stuff. I'll try to keep poking my head in though.  

[Collowrath]

I've been neglecting the domovie. :/ The state of my house shows for it too. I gotta make some banana bread for them!

Tea, I hope everything is good with your family.

And I hope everyone's summer is going fantabulously!

Tea: Take care and see you whenever you can pop in biggrin

I love the sunshine and warm weather but I get the most hideaous rashes. It's either prickly heat or hayfever, I am unsure. All I know is that it looks really icky and itches like hell.
