And I do think he is an "abhorrent" human being for the things he said. What is there that I need to know about him huh? He might be a good guy in many ways but these views he has imho makes him a bad person. I am sure many racists are good people in other ways too, except for a few extremely disgusting views. In my opinion that makes them horrible human beings and I feel the same way about homophobes like Eich, even if he is otherwise a great guy.

Again, I don't think his positions are homophobic but whatever. I'll be sure to find a fault of yours and call you abhorrent even though I know very little about you.

And you know nothing else about him so calling him an all around horrible person is disgusting.



A leading question by Leach made that a bit difficult. Eich certainly has to do better articulating his position. This is a perfect example why. Leach is known to be a very colorful debater and he perfectly painted Eich into a corner.

That shouldn't exactly be a tough question to answer...  Though people with his hateful views are often pretty stupid.

Ah, yes! Another favorite - calling people we disagree with "stupid." Lovely.

I think his comments show that he is at least extremely ignorant of gay people if not hateful. Like I said he may be an overall nice person but these disgusting views he holds certainly outweigh anything else imo. You disagree with me on that and that's fine. Just don't call us a hack (like you called smash) if we call him a bigot. I don't care if he is a democrat, republican or green; his views are disgusting.

But you know one view of his and I don't see why it should outweight any and everything else but whatever.

... so if I have an intense hate for Italians, but all my other qualities were perfect, and if I say "Ummm" before badmouthing Italians, it's justified?

Did I say people I disagree with were stupid?  No.  What I said is most people with hateful views are stupid.

Dude, I think I've been over this before. Go ahead and hate Italians like I hate the French. I really don't care. If you have "perfect" other qualities, I'm not going to call you a bad person! Hell, you wouldn't even be a bad person to me personally if you treated me kindly on a one on one level (as I would do with a Frenchman, for example).

Though people with his hateful views are often pretty stupid.

And even if he was more "mild" in his approach, you'd still call him stupid and hateful.

Phil, I don't think all people who oppose Gay Marriage or hateful.  However, I do think that the people who use the rhetoric he did are hateful.  That type rhetoric doesn't come from simply disagreeing with Gay marriage, it comes from hate.

Wait, what? I don't think paedophilia should be legal.

What's so wrong with it? I don't think people should be fucking 4 year olds, but surely a 13 year old is grown enough to give legal consent. Just saying.
I disagree, I don't think it's old enough for the child to give informed consent. I think 16 is a more appropriate age of consent, as most individuals are (pretty much) done with puberty by that age, as well as being far more worldly and less prone to manipulation than at the start of their teens. In theory anyway Smiley

There are a few states that have already set the age of consent as low as 14 Smiley

Yes, and many countries in Europe and Asia it is that way as well. I think in America most states are at least 16 now. South Carolina and Hawaii used to be 14 but they moved it up to 16.
