Simply stating that it is not relevant does not make it not relevant. Stating that it is apples to oranges does not make it apples to oranges. Stating that your point remains does not mean you have a point to begin with.

You are quite impossible to discuss subjects with - you follow one of three paths once you have made a statement:

1- Ignore any responses and make alternate arguments. A deludge of unconnected arguments does not strengthen your position when you refuse to discuss any of your arguments beyond simplistic talking points.

2- In the exceedingly rare instances where you actually respond to a counter argument, you simply dismiss the counter argument with a flick of the wrist (as demonstrated above). Pretending to discuss a counter argument is ultimately the same thing as ignoring the counter argument. With the same result of a lack of strength in your overall position.

3- Repeat yourself as if no one understood your argument to begin with. Like this:
Quote:
Any homosexual man can marry a woman and any homosexual woman can marry a man. No one is stopping them. Heck, I know it's silly but a straight man can't marry another man either.
Yeah - you mentioned that already. It wasn't very compelling the first time, but a few people here were courteous enough to discuss it with you. And you ignored them.

Now I truly am done with this discussion, seeing as how you have designed it to go no where. Hopefully, in the future, you will think through your position in greater detail so that you can avoid falling victim to one of the 3 unproductive methods you seem to prefer.
