I disagree with WhistlePig's attitude, but I especially love SIEQ jumping in there with some nice false analogies.

It's like the gay movement co-opting the blacks' civil rights arguments.

I agree. Being black is a behavior too.

Can you see folks trying to shut down a Gold Gym as the face of the church and yet at the same time trying to justify illegal immigrants.

Yeah, that's the same thing.

You, SIEQ, and SeattleUte all have an affinity for screwy analogies.
