While I may disagree with you I find you to be genuine in your posts . Meaning you listen to reason.Sorry 
The people I have listed lose sight that this is a conversation and they set themselves on a pedestal and in doing so feel others should over look their absence of substance .

Pitt, if I could actually get the substance of my arguments to not be ignored, it would be wonderful. Take the ‘gay marriage’ thread, which is undoubtedly my freshest offense, in your mind. I made a case for my position that calls into such questions as the role of the government, what is sufficient to cause it to act and distinguish or to lay dormant and blind.
I called into question the assumption made by opponents that somehow homosexual couplings and heterosexual couplings carry the same social (heck, humanity) wide impact. That are somehow remotely equivalent.
When someone ask me “Fine, you don’t think the government should recognize homosexual couplings as marriages, but what’s so damn special about heterosexual couplings? Huh? Huh…”
Well, I can’t help but feel that the answer is so self-evident, just from having lived in the world long enough to learn about the birds and bees, that I’m not being treated to an honest conversation. If you don’t want any marriages recognized than make the argument.
But don’t ask me to pretend that there aren’t circumstances between the two couplings which make them worlds apart in the consideration “Does it rise to the level that society/government may have an interest?” World’s apart. Concede it and move on.
I’m not the kind of guy that is going to pretend homosexual couplings and heterosexual couplings have anything remotely like the same impact on society and humanity as a whole.
I’m not going to pretend your son in a dress is a little girl.
I’m not going to pretend that a human organism (life) isn’t in the womb.
I’m not going to pretend that a raunchy low-brow culture doesn’t shape the next generation.
I’m not going to pretend that a socially liberal society would vote against a large nanny state to handle the morning after oopsie, or the absence of family in their twilight years.

I am sorry I can not see the forest for the trees . one question at a time or one statement please

Don’t complain about substance when an individual has laid out his arguments, had to reiterate specific points, fielded questions…only to have someone such as yourself turn around and contribute nothing but pot-shot questions and statements.
Questions where basic self evident realities of the world have to be ignored in order to be asked. Questions that are meant to hijack by trying to goad the person, let’s say me, into an argument he’s not making. Etc.

You have not laid out any points you just rail on and on making no sense. I am asking you specific questions but you try to hide in long posts and “I already covered that” answers
