There is no inconsistancy in my argument at all, although you have been deviating the subject somewhat with rats. |
Complaining about 'deviation' is the last refuge of people who try to hold a logically inconsistent position on an issue.
Our society is not divided into silos. It is one great big overlapping whole. The values you claim to hold in one area, if they are sincere, should affect your view of everything else as well. If they do not translate away from the immediate topic of discussion, then it is reasonable in the context of a logical argument to question how sincerely held your views really are - especially if you claim to want to see other people adopt those views. After all, why should anyone else buy into your position if you haven't bought into it as completely as you first seemed?

Why do you want to see foxes ripped to shreads by dogs by a load of people on horse-back baying for blood?

I don't have any desire to take part in a fox hunt. Neither do I have any desire to see our parliamentary democracy so casually used to suddenly criminalise the behaviour of hundreds of thousands of people.
