Sir, you are missing the point by such a wide margin I don’t even know where to begin.

There is a big difference between rapists, murderers, pedophiles and the behavior on that list. I’ll give you 30 minutes, 20 questions and/or 3 guesses (the first two don’t count) to try and figure it out.

You seem like a bright guy, go to work and see if you can answer your own question.

In the 2004 Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities, 32% of State prisoners and 26% of Federal prisoners said they had committed their current offense while under the influence of drugs.

Among State prisoners, drug offenders (44%) and property offenders (39%) reported the highest incidence of drug use at the time of the offense.

Among Federal prisoners, drug offenders (32%) and violent offenders (24%) were the most likely to report drug use at the time of their crimes.

Of course there is. That was the point.

The difference is in where you draw the moral line. For you, it happens to be in a different place than it is for me. I listed those extreme examples to make the point that, to other individuals, the moral line between right and wrong is in an entirely different place.

If you argue that society shouldn't "impose their morals" on others, where should it stop?
