With “Conservatives” like these, why would there ever be a need for leftist opposition ?
I think you understand me, and I think I understand you.
What I mean by criminal is behavior that harms people who are not willing participants in the act. If two people want to commit a moral crime as willing accomplices, it is not my concern and it should not be regulated by government in any way. There are some shades on that, as I see it. For example if a person chooses to use heroin one time, that is a choice between two adults and not the government’s business. However, at some point the heroin user may become an addict and has lost the ability to consent. So it is never cut and dry.
Nevertheless, for the most part, it’s not the role of government. Society at large may shame them, shun them, shut them out etc. That’s life. That is human nature. But very few are beyond redemption.
Yeah well, government should have no role in marriage whatsoever. The only place government has a role is contractual.
The entire thing is “male patriarchy”. In the past, and to some degree still today, the woman can become victimized by her choice in man. Women need to be protected from victimization but this is easily rectified by contractual arrangement. That too has long been traditional. Maybe other religions/sects see it differently but for example a Jewish marriage always includes a written and signed contract between the spouses. Government’s role is in ruling on that contract.
I have long believed that most “crimes” are covered by long held common law such as fraud. Fraud is a crime and covers a lot of ground. If people are honest and decent, they won’t be fraudulent. But if they are not honest and decent, then fraud may come into play. We have entire libraries of laws that essentially all come down to the question of fraud.
Exactly what right don’t they have?
I thought fag month was over. I didnt get the memo that it’s more than a month now..
The right to be more drama queen and get their panties in a twist. I miss my high school days when kicking fag ass was a sport and part of the PE curriculum.
Yeah? Well, talk is cheap.
