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.

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?

Unfortunately T, when most of the wishy washy middle/independent voters think of “Republicans” or “Conservatives” your philosophy is what comes to mind.

They think that you just want to impose your morals on others. They don’t like it. For the same reason we don’t like Socialists imposing their Gubmint control on us. Anyone who is 18+ and of voting age naturally rejects the idea of people telling them what to do. It’s human nature.

I thank you for thinking about what I said before answering with an ad hominem attack. I think we are on the same page and you get it.

In order to function in a free country there is one simple rule: Don’t directly harm anyone else.

And if you want to hang someone or stone them for violating this rule, you better be very careful. No junk science or creative prosecution.
