I have nothing against homosexuals.
However I find that there is a major flaw in this argument.
If homosexuality was not acceptable in the 19th Century, but is in the 21st, does that mean that bestality will be acceptable in the 22nd century?

I was absolutely appalled and quite surprised too by reading all responses and counter arguments to my original gay thread in the general forum.

Oh and I intend to be alive in the 22nd century!!! although I will be well into my hundreds.
And yes, it's the slipery slope theory. For example abortion has changed from illegal to common in the space of 75 years.
Each issue is, and will continue to be, judged on its merits.
Originally posted by dottewellYes, I was aware it was "slipperly slope" logic (I believe it's "slippery", but "slipperly" sounds more funny, so I'll go with it 🙂 ), but I was too lazy to come up with a nice example like yours or to explain why the "slipperly slope" argument is flawed, so I decided to let the original poster figure it out himself. Of course I could simply have sent him to the Debate Forum, too.
Idiot "slipperly-slope" logic.
e.g.
People were only allowed to work at >10yo in 1800
People were only allowed to work at >15yo in 2000
Therefore by 4000... (you do the "math", as our American cousins would say)
