Notice you state PROVING WHAT I CLAIM. Sounds like you think it’s something I believe.
Yes, prove what you claimed could be a possible defense for anti-gay marriage laws. You stated that it could be a possible defense and I stated would be irrational to use such logic for that ban. You can say that it sounds like it’s something that I think you believe all day, but that still wasn’t my intent and I never said such a thing or anything resembling such a statement. You make such rude comments whenever people misinterpret your comments, yet now you’re misinterpreting someone else’s comments yourself and you were still very rude about it when you started presenting your thoughts. Settle down.</p>

Sounds like you think I’m making an argument. All I was doing was providing a possible defense for DOMA. And aren’t a large portion of AA’s with AIDS black? Do you have a statistic handy which points to the percentage of straight, american blacks with AIDS?
Ok, just stop inferring on statements because it’s not working out. I made that statement to say that the logic is faulty on those grounds. I’m not even sure I understand the third sentence. Of course they’d be qualified as black if they’re African-American, or are you using AA as an acronym for something else? "</p>
<p>Hmmm…so saying “your logic is flawed” DOESN’T mean you think I am making an argument that I believe in…that doesn’t make too much sense. It was clear you thought I was making an argument based on “my logic.” You wouldn’t have said “your claim” or “your logic” if you didn’t attribute the argument to me. I don’t see why you’re holding on to this. If you didn’t attribute it to me, you would have said that argument or that logic. Word choice doesn’t support your side. Using your dismantles your claim. I don’t really understand how you can claim using “your” really didn’t mean you were associating the argument with my beliefs. Can you elaborate why you used your instead of that?</p>
<p>"African-Americans clearly have contracted HIV through all means listed more than any other ethnicity, according to the 2007 chart. I could look up more recent stats, but eh…</p>
<p>Of course, more cases were contacted through homosexual means, but that doesn’t hurt the argument that HIV contraction is much more prevalent in the black community than any other."</p>
<p>Didn’t I ask you for statistics showing AIDS among straight blacks and gay blacks? Did I deny AIDS had higher contraction among blacks? No. I said a large portion of blacks with AIDS are probably gay. That’s why I asked for a stat of STRAIGHT black men with AIDS. You didn’t provide those stats.</p>
