The ClayTaurus said:What do people think of using a slippery slope argument when discussing an issue? It appears to be a reasoning tactic that I'm seeing pop up more and more. Thoughts on the general idea of the slippery slope?
When deciding on a course of action, one who does not consider all possible outcomes of that action is irresponsible. Yes, there are times when immediate decisions are required, but rarely in politics, as I assume is the context of your statement.
A perfect example, IMO is homosexuality. Forty years ago, one just did not admit he/she was gay. Little by little, under the leftist banner of "what does it matter what they're doing?", they've reached the point where they are now demanding special laws to support their aberrant lifestyle.
Those who let is slide then have created the situation we are in now where that topic is concerned.
