Let me see what's going on today on INGO........
Slippery slope much?
There was a great disturbance in the force...What just happened...?
What just happened...?
If I call you, right now, what VUPD called a swath of people... I'd be banned for personal attacks.
My gripe is of the "Do as I say, not as I do" variety.
Doesn't matter. That was all like 5 threads ago. Done on the subject.
Yes. Exactly. The people that are most adamant about denying the very existence of the slippery slope are generally the ones that are leading us straight to it. But think, if such a thing actually didn't exist, would there be a term for it in such common use? It's not just a common delusion. Denial of it has become de rigueur among the intelligentsia to the point most will think it is false, but think outside the box they put you in. There are in fact slippery slopes, and this is an excellent example of one.
Damn millennials.
A Supreme Court case finding a federal Constitutional right to birth control led to a federal Constitutional right to abortion, then sodomy, and perhaps soon gay marriage (that line of cases has indeed been cited in the several lower court decisions). This is not a logical fallacy; it is fact. Whether that is a positive or negative progression is a matter of personal perspective, but the progression is there.
Predicting the next (or, if not next, later) step in the progression is more difficult, but there will be a next step, and several steps after that. The "slippery slope" is only a logical fallacy if there is no reliable evidence of a progression or where it may be leading.
This board should know that. Anti-gunners love to call any slippery slope argument a logical fallacy.
I couldn't rep HoughMade, but I would have.

That sounds fellatious to me...
I hope when I hit 60, I will grow up. At least someone got my joke :-)I wish I were mature enough to not laugh at that...
