Each issue is well-researched and presents information in a factual and low-biased way." I don't agree with what they may cover on the website as a whole but they aren't trying to skew your perception one way or the other. In the way you described them. Leave that to rest. I couldent have put that better myself. On the topic of Gay Marriage, if all they were doing was just showing the "con" arguments to it but didnt show any "pro's" that be a different story then. But as they are showing BOTH sides, i wouldent call it a site promoting hate. Its not publicising only the "con" stances to it and saying or implying "this is what you should believe about it". Its just allowing both sides to have a mouth piece, so i would say its a parley platform.

Its just allowing both sides to have a mouth piece Providing a platform for hate I would again refer you back to the holocaust example and why that is not appropriate to present "both sides" as if they are equal, and the same can be said about this side presenting hateful bigotry as a debate with a valid side. There is no merit to it. They might as well have a pro/con debate about owning slaves in the US civil war era. But again this is about what is socially acceptable and culturally relevant, and that is a problem which needs to be addressed. Teachers should absolutely not be using this resource to present classroom debates, as it's harmful to vulnerable and marginalized minorities to have our basic human rights and humanity put up for debate.

Katanablade 02/12/24 1:00:01 PM #156:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Well the very first time i read Procon.org is because i wanted to hear both sides to the argument on "should prostitution be decriminalised?", i wanted to reconsider my position on it, and because not everyone in the con section were pastors or ministers (most were secular people) from that first time experiance i came to the conclusion of "this site is secular". I think you guys are cherry picking too much. Of course its going to be pastors and ministers mainly speaking in the con section of subjects like homosexuality or gay marriage, cause in the 21st century what secular arguments are there against homosexuality?, none. But there are with subjects like "con" for decriminalisation of prostitution or abortion. <cite>Katanablade posted [p:978803385] in Whats the ...

EPR-radar 02/12/24 3:17:10 PM #167:	I checked out this pro-con org website and saw an old section where pro and con views on teaching creationism in school science classes were collected. IMO that's a clear case of putting lying bad faith garbage (i.e., creationism in science classes) on the same footing as sensible thinking (i.e., science in science classes). This is a perfect example of an issue that is simply not up for debate, since the creationist side is all lies and bullshit. Many other right wing issues fall into this category. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

I'd say any person who voices opposition to LGBTQ+ rights on religious ground need to agree to a test to prove they practice what they preach, constantly before their voice can be given platform.

I checked out this pro-con org website and saw an old section where pro and con views on teaching creationism in school science classes were collected. IMO that's a clear case of putting lying bad faith garbage (i.e., creationism in science classes) on the same footing as sensible thinking (i.e., science in science classes). This is a perfect example of an issue that is simply not up for debate, since the creationist side is all lies and bullshit. Many other right wing issues fall into this category. So like back in the day when CNN would do shit like have climate change deniers "debate" scientists and try to present both sides as valuable. --- Rage is a hell of an anesthetic. <cite>Heineken14 posted [p:978808617] in Whats the ...

Spider-Man's origin story is all about how turning the other cheek can come back on one who is selfish. Covid or the Cronavirus would have been a much more minimal issue if people from all walks showed empathy. But nope. They turn the other cheek and when such comes back to bite them, they complain about it instead of taking their lumps. 2. And yeah apathy or being Center would mean just staying out of debates or chewing out the Right just as much as they do the left.

Antiyonder 02/12/24 10:48:20 PM #198:	Deutschenlied posted... You can keep your sarcasm. There is no middle ground on LGBTQ rights And it's funny. For all the talks about looking at the enlightening middle ground, there is this recurring matter of Freedom of Speech being absolute. 1. In the first place rights for people of different gender, race and/or sexual is different than voting for which pizza to order or what movie to put on. Second, general formality and rule is not interrupting people when they talk, especially: - Parents or other elders. - Meeting or class when a speaker or teacher is talking. - The library. But if there is an emergency prompting disruption no one is going to begrudge you for interrupting. So yeah why is it that Freedom of Speech isn't afforded such situations. 2. And if thought policing is dangerous, shouldn't identity policing also be regarded as dangerous. Besides how being black isn't harmful, I wasn't aware of a person having control over their birth. Also a trend. Now I am definitely willing to consider that a person can be falsely accused of bigotry when they aren't, but the Right seem to take that line of thought to insist that bigotry of old is ancient history or that it diminished enough that we don't need to deal with it. Basically the side professing that emotions have no place when dealing in logic. --- Amalgam Universe resident Born in 82. <cite>Antiyonder posted [p:978813686] in Whats the ...
