I'd forgotten I can always draw from the multitude of hypocritical decisions the US government still makes.FireCoroner said:Well, then you could always counter-argue with the fact that the U.S. has essentially re-opened the slave trade with unpaid, forced prison labor; A ridiculous "three strikes" penal system with mandatory long sentences for drugs charges; and the fact that the highest bidder(J.C. Penney, Victoria's Secret, IBM, Toys R Us and the U.S. Army to name a few) are freely able to profit from the prisoner's rehabilitation.Baradiel said:Oh, I love that clip.

For more information on the subject matter, Here's the genius Stewart Lee:
I use Ancient Greece as an example when I'm discussing homosexuality, but I always dread that they'll bring up the fact that the Greeks also had slavery.
Alternatively, if you have to argue the homosexual rights agenda with someone, then maybe they're not worth your time.
Also, I could point out that the Bible condones slavery itself (Thank you @Ankarathefallen)
