This may seem to be a rather obscure topic, but it popped up while I was reading Helen Smith’s musings on whether or not pornography should be made illegal and the long term, detrimental effects that it can have on marriage. As a subset of that discussion, she touched on David Friedman’s book, Law’s Order: What Economics Has to Do with Law and Why It Matters. In it, Friedman makes the following observation on prostitution in general and the specific side effects it can have when married men pay for sex outside of marriage. (I specify “men” here only because incidents of women engaging prostitutes are so rare as to be a statistical anomaly. In theory this would apply to either gender.)

I doubt he’s advocating shari’a but enforcement would require religious police. A good name for that police force would be something like Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
Only strange men.
Adultery laws are of the old America, the one the left hates so much.
“Yet in his state of residence, Virginia, as in 22 others including Massachusetts, adultery remains a criminal act, a vestige of the way US law has anchored legitimate sexual activity within marriage.
In most of those states, including New York, adultery is a misdemeanor. But in others — Massachusetts, Idaho, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin — it is a felony, though rarely prosecuted. In the armed forces, it can be punished severely, although usually in combination with greater wrongdoing.”
Well, my hope is in the Messiah, so it won’t happen without Him. Buddah is a false god. Cursing, ironically, is usually the name of the Messiah used as a derogatory exclamation. Why is that? The power of the name. Satan spews it everywhere because he hates it so much.
Right? How is this so hard to understand? Seems pretty simple to me!
I've wondered at times...do women who complain about that put the seat UP when they are done? Didn't think so.
End Women's Suffrage!
How does our secular govt. currently adjudicate breaches of contract?
(not that I'm necessarily in favor of this - just saying...)
I have never watched that show but...isn't only one of that pair of characters actually a homo? I thought the fat one was simply an effeminate poseur who claims he is a fag.
I wasn’t making an argument. Sorry if I offended you.
The two daddies are married on the show
Freepers are all over the map here. Mostly "No". But some good arguments for it being illegal. I'm glad to see the misguided notion that "You can't legislate morality" was quickly denounced.

Tough call on this one. I guess the easy way out is to continue with hands off and watch our societal free-fall continue...
Wow! What a pantload of Obama. I checked your FReep page. Yep. A liberal. A newbie lib at that.
Do you even know what sodomy laws are? If you do - then you believe half of our population are sodomites?
“You cannot legislate morality.”
Sure you can.

That's the crux of it. I think it might have something to do with people not wanting their own immoral activities to be outlawed.
On the toilet seat issue...
How about EVERYBODY just close the lid?!
***
Then we are all inconvenienced.
The "up-or-down toilet seat" is a strange game in which "the only winning move is not to play."
How about a nice game of chess, instead?
Two out of my four insist on the plumbing. One likes the kitchen sink and the other is simply obsessed with getting his water anywhere directly from the plumbing. No, not diabetes...just a strange kitty.
