Abortions for all!

"Discrimination occurs when someone is unjustly denied some benefit or opportunity. But it must first be demonstrated that such persons deserve to be treated equally regarding the point in question."

There it is, folks. Circular logic at its best.

Because A happens, B follows.

I can't believe nobody could stop him.

How hard is it to get someone on the ground and in a head lock? Guillotine choke?

It wasn't in Seattle ... it was in farm country ... these people should have known some self-defense and submission techniques!

Max oversimplifies a bit, though. What makes it a fallacy is the absence of any coherently argued chain of causation.

It's Idiotworld. Welcome to the stupid.

Here's a question for you: What did you think of Obama's speech yesterday on Father's Day? He mentioned every child needs a father. He talked of a "hole in his heart"
regarding his own absent father. He spoke with candor. I thought it quite a brave speech and more important than the Philly one. It also opened a can of worms. I'm fairly certain it didn't please too many black, gay or single parents of any stripe. Al Sharpton responded by saying it was necessary to bring it up but that some blacks might not react favorably to it. I'm also fairly certain he made the Family Research Council happy.

Well, no, they aren't. It's only a very tiny minority that kill. You wouldn't know that by Dan's moronathons of these but it's true. The vast majority of mothers and fathers don't abuse or neglect or kill their kids. And the vast majority of homosexuals raising kids do not do so with rainbow sheened angel wings bearing them gracefully and perfectly through a Edenesque garden of parenting delights. They fuck up as much as anyone else. And as I have to keep explaining to any simpleton who actually believes Savage is making a real point here - you don't prove a positive by proving the negative. Which, of course, he fails miserably even at that.

And as much as I admire 20 and 21's thoughtful responses and attempts to bring a bit of reason to the discussion I am afraid it's lost on Savage's stuck record. I actually think he truly believes he's making a legitimate point with this shit. Amazing.

@21
I, indeed meant no child deserves to be abandoned. As an adopted child, I agree with you.

I still believe that the situation in the African-American community is castastrophic. Lack of fathers is unequivocally contributing to social dysfunction(s). Look at prison populations & homelessness populations. African-American males are overrepresented. Anyone with an ounce of concern for the African-American family, America or the human race sees this. The following gentlemen have: Bill Cosby, Barack Obama, Leonard Pitts (syndicated columnist) and I believe Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star (he largely comments on the violence occurring among young black males). And, I do as well. This is an extremely urgent problem that actually transcends politics.
