With a face like his I can kinda see his point.
Dude is a loser and women don't want to have anything to with him.
He's got an axe to grind.
Well, if the argument is that the government has an interest in outlawing adult private behavior or contact because that behavior might harm others, this is right down that alley.
I say go for it. In for a penny, in for a pound.
So, let's invite the government into everyone's bedroom and private life, and see how much they can regulate. It's for the public good, dontchaknow?
For some reason, the people who want to invite the government in to regulate their neighbors never seem to want the government looking in their own windows... wonder why that is?
This is why I am a Libertarian and not a Republican.
The party that wants to control my c**k is no better than the party that wants to control my wallet.
Yeah, they should be stoned. It says so in some book or the other.
I think it should all depend on what the Bible says about adultery and its appropriate consequences.
A) It’s natural and commendable for a man to have several mates.
B) The only punishment for an unmaried woman who has sex with a man—be it with a man married to another woman or not—should be social censure, and also she should have no claim on the man for the support of herself and of any resulting children.
To do otherwise, is to dilute the institution of marriage and nullify the the true foundation for legal marriage: which is to make the man legally responsible for the support of his wife and any children she bears (unless he can prove those children the result of her adultery).
But since it’s now OK for sex outside of marriage, and since it’s now OK for women to get palimony, who needs marriage any more?
And if marriage isn’t for support of the weaker sex and her children, might as well marry men to men and women to women.
Or better, just eliminate marriage altogether instead of continuing to prop up what has become a sham.
I agree with him. A lot of homicides are committed by an irate spouse-not all. Adultery does cause social harm. The concept that legislating morality is a “bad thing” overlooks the fact that murder, theft, fraud, lying under oath etc. are simultaneously both moral violations and crimes. As far as proof of adultery it does not involve catching the parties in the act. There was a New Yoyk case where the two went into a motel room, no one saw them do it but the court said “the law presumes they saith not pater nosters there.”
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surely curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they make better neighbors than the other sort.

It’s none of government’s business!
I’ll stop having sex outside of marriage when they pry it from my cold, dead hand.
The govt should not be legislating morality, and neither should it be funding immorality.
And punishable by stoning?
Civil consequences might be in order. Social contracts of marriage don't mean much these days. Unilateral no fault divorce (first in CA and signed by Gov. Reagan) and legal biases against men do not foster a stable society.
These numerous institutional failures precede homosexual participation. It's almost a farce that one class of people want into the civil institution for its legal protections while those already empower to avail themselves of it have streamlined the escape process over 40 years.
I realize "alienation of affection" is unpopular (limited to 8 states) but feel the concept has some merit. In the mid 20th century there was considerable experimentation with social norms, certainly not all for the best. We should not feel compelled to continue such failed experiments any more than the Baby Boomers felt compelled to honor tradition or values of their parent's generation.
This is crazy. If this fella had his way, Laz would get the death penalty.
Great example about how some so called “Conservatives” are really just Liberals. There is no place for government to regulate this. If government is allowed to regulate this, they can regulate anything.
