"Two word, Mr. Matthew: Sexual nihilism."
Are you saying - in a round about way - that everyone who voted for President Bush never engages in sex for pleasure?
What an odd understanding of nihilism. I think the poster is referring to an empty nothingness of sex above anything else.

Apparently you don't know what the word "nihilism" means. It comes from the Latin word "nihil" which means "nothing". Nihilism is the belief that there is no right and wrong or good and bad.
Sexual nihilism is the uprooting of sexual behavior from all moral context and therefore all moral consequences. That it is or should be done for pleasure is irrelevant to my point. The thinking that sex should be divorced entirely from moral, family and social obligations and considerations is responsible for the atomization of society where grown men and women don't even know their neighbors' names and behave as if they are 12-year-old street urchins with no sense of connection to the community, and they behave accordingly.
People now think of sex as primarily a vehicle for pleasure and of pregnancy as an unfortunate if not flat-out tragic side effect. A culture of narcissistic isolationism, hedonism and death is the inevitable result.
Contrary to what some may think, God is not against sex. Hey, he INVENTED it. He very much intended for it to be pleasant but only in the context of commitments of love and family. Outside of that context societal death and self-destruction. This principle applies to everyone, no matter who you voted for.
