Re: is there anyone else who is pro-life AND pro-gay rights, or is it just me?

This does swing both ways though. You can pretty much apply this to anything. How many of the people who want marijuana legalized simply want to smoke it themselves without fear of retribution? Does the RIAA really think that file-sharing hurts the artists?... ...Wouldn't a midget argue in favor of lowering rollercoaster height standards being relaxed and call the theme parks "anti-midget rights"?

Holy crap...you had the balls (albeit passive aggressive ones) to infer that my statements were somehow irrational? And that just applies to your last sentence. Your first two examples can't even relate to gay marriage. Or are you implying that smoking weed and filesharing are civil rights? Are you implying that gay people want to get married for the novelty of it? Like they're feeling left out of the club? Dude, gay people want to get married so that they can enjoy the same basic rights and provisions granted to married folks. If you can't think of any, Sean posted a ton of them on page 15. Your first two examples fail utterly because they simply cannot compare to gay marriage.
Your last example is so incredibly illogical as to be laughable. But I'm going to argue it, just so that you can't come back and say that I didn't. Theme park rides are designed for normal sized adults because there are exponentially more normal sized adults than there are little people. It's economics, Holmes. There is no way to make an average theme park ride safe enough for for a little person to ride, and there is no way to build a viable business out of a theme park designed for little people. The process of mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering that goes in to these places, not to mention marketing, food, park attendants, etc makes a theme park one of the most financially nightmarish operations outside of Las Vegas. Your example simply could not exist in reality. I'm fairly certain that Stephen Hawking proved this somewhere.
And if I sound condescending or insulting, I'm very tired. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of your arguments...
