Same-sex marriage debate: ‘No’ side a masterclass in debating

PETER VAN ONSELEN
The Australian12:00AM September 23, 2017

(sorry, I can't post links)

..his first port of call is the slippery slope fallacy: but he fails to realise to the reader that it only applies to small initial steps.

This guys opinion has always been a total waste of money.....

(...he prefaces this with '...for whatever reason...'... Roll Eyes

All of those things don't involve changing an institution of heterosexuality to one of explicitly condoning sodomy.

The slippery slope fallacy only applies to small initial steps: you're as demented as PVO!

Shocked

To say it's 'the same' slippery slope betrays your ignorance and PVOs.

As the poster has lost the argument, now the last avenue is to attack the person instead. Whatever. This thread has died.
