I've read through most of this thread and I thought you had a good go at arguing it well. The downvote crowd was uncalled for. I'd ask you though, what did you expect? It's a divisive subject that people believe passionately, dare I say religiously about. Both parties are going to find the other sides views repugnant.

Cheers for posting that, I didn't know about it but it hits at the heart of the unease I've felt about discussing certain subjects.
