Gabriela Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/slippery-slope Yes, it was a slippery slope, and that would be a very useful insight in a philosophical argument. But in one about social problems, in a society in which we have actually seen the slippery slope lived out again and again AND AGAIN over the last century, I hardly think this relevant. A fallacy is an error in thought. We've got abundant historical evidence suggesting it is likely not erroneous to expect that, in the sexuality issue, one thing really will lead to a worse thing. So: no fallacy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So: no fallacy here. Exactly. I've also seen people approve the relationship even as a hypothetical, so the slippery slope is completely valid. Especially in a society which is perdominately hedonistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Exactly.

Hedonistic and relativistic. I've seen people say things like incest are perfectly acceptable, because who are they to judge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
