Preposterous, sir! I have it on good authority from the marriage equality bros that slippery slopes are just fear-mongering. Why would schoolteachers all of a sudden be transing kids just because some tiny, tiny proportion of adults are getting visiting rights at hospitals? Moore's Law--also slippery slopism. As if computers will magically get faster next year just because they did the last n years!

Exactly! Why let women vote, next thing black people will want it too and before you know it, something bad will happen.

Actually black Americans tend to vote strongly against child genital mutilation. If you had only listened to black voters (of California Prop 8 fame), the civil rights struggle of our time would almost certainly not be sterilizing people who because of their youth we do not allow to ride a bicycle without a helmet.

Does this actually happen? Or is it just a Republican fantasy?

[iraqmtpizza]

Do kids actually die from biking without a helmet? I've never met one.
