Bad arguments for your political positions

[Crezth]

Abortion should be legal because babies don't deserve to live.

 

[bombshoo]

The death penalty should be outlawed because crime is only committed by poor, desperate people.

I agree that Europe should be united. I just don't think the EU is the right way to do it. I think the individual countries should stay individual countries. And it should just be a free trade area.

The first sentence is the only one I 100% agree with. The second I'll agree with if someone shows me a better way. The last 2: No. Just no.

EDIT: Actually, sometimes the last 2 sentences can be replaced with So we should just completely scrap the EU.

"Genetic engineering should be restricted because it's unnatural."

I hate the "it'sunnatural" argument. Houses are unnatural. Eectronic devices are unnatural.

I think what the're getting at is that your mum is perfectly natural.

(And now this is the moment where my joke is ruined when you say something like "actually, my mother has a prosthetic limb" or somesuch)

That's a good one. "It's not perfect, so we shouldn't do it at all", can be applied to anything.

"We should not bail out banks because it won't completely prevent a crisis."

"It's good we didn't go to Iraq, because we can't invade Iran and North Korea."

Nah, just tooth crowns and possibly dyed hair. And I was born in a hospital with much modern medicining and doctoring involved.

We should have a free market economy because that's what Jesus wanted us to.

The United States should be able to intervene militarily when necessary because the United States is pure and noble.
