That "conservativism" you describe is anarchy.

Society is a combination of humans all responsible for one another, to a very great degree. If everything everyone did was alright as long as they 'didn't hurt anyone else', then there'd be anarchy. Not everyone shares the cookie-cutter understanding as to what is tolerable and what is hurtful. Someone smuggling drugs is rewarding and lucrative and profitable (a "good thing") to them and theirs and yet if I don't know about it, does that "hurt" me?

Yes, yes it does. Same with sexual deviations to a great degree and insistences that abnormality be instructed as normalacy. These things harm societies, overall, alter living conditions in many aspects for everyone.

I simply disagree. If your activities don't affect me, then you should be free to engage in them without government interference.

If the mere fact that "sin" offends you, then that's your problem, and you shouldn't go crying to the government for redress.

Do you intend to prove this?

Do a search for the keyword "wodlist" and look me up. We can talk about that too.
