Liberalslayer99 in name only - your a fool to think that you can seperate morality and the govt. Whats next sentencing for the death penalty should only be between the accuser and the convicted? Wake up idiot.

Your comparing apples and oranges (consensual activities among adults vs. someone harming another individual). Again, another ad hominem attack. You're arguing like a liberal. Please try again.

Not that I agree but ok I'll take your challenge


Sex with a minor?
Exposing oneself in public?
Sex in public?
Defecating in public?

I hope you start to see my point - social norms whether you like it or not have to be set by the govt. Eventhough the party doing it may be consenting it may not be in the public interest to allow it. There are some who would say that the issues I raised should be allowed but society (not a minority of individuals) have determined it does NOT serve the greater good. Homos may want to have sex but it should not be sanctioned by a society which considers it contrary to the common good.

snip...consensual activities among adults vs. someone harming another individual).



"Consent' as the measure of whether an act is right or wrong is highly flawed. Recently there was a case in Germany where a homosexual cannibal advertised for a 'willing' human meal. One showed up. What followed was unspeakably foul, but 'consensual'. And because it was consensual, the German court, as morally at sea as ours have become, found itself in a quandary. What on earth can we charge these two with when both paricipants had consented? In the end, the court had to be creative and make up a silly charge in order to jail the cannibal. Heavens!!! Their minds have become so 'wide' that they are adrift in them.


Western civilization has been infected by idiocy.
