In general, the idea of a "business method patent" is fucking stupid. That's like saying you can patent the idea of an auction or a car or a retail store.
Intellectual property laws are fine, as long as they don't go too far. In this case, the patent office has started issuing ridiculous patents which stop, rather than encourage, innovation.
You made no argument to support overbroad, ridiculous, obvious patents, you just threw out some nonsense attack trying to say that people are against all IP laws if they don't support stupid business method patents.
That's like saying you are against law and order if you don't support the death penalty for speeders. It makes no sense!
