The current US government will need to be replaced before adultery could be made illegal. That said this topic is a non-starter.
Most voters are so ignorant, they’d think you’re outlawing adults.
Should infancy be illegal? Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
No. You can’t regulate morality. If you attempt to do so then what is or isn’t moral is up to the ones who do the regulating and our current crop of law makers have much improvement to make with themselves before they could even begin to try it on us.
“the gov’t should pass a law charging husbands who do not put down the toilet seat with a criminal offense”........
Whoa, that’s where I draw the line. when a man knows enough to LEFT the seat, a woman should know enough to put it down when needed. The law could work both ways. Case dismissed!
Isn’t it already a misdemeanor in certain states?
One of things that cause me pause on this is: If all our rights are given by God (as the Founders believed), than how can there be a right....to do what is wrong?
Frankly, I am far, far more concerned at the normalization of homosexual lifestyles in prime time Television, schools, books, movies - everywhere.
I finally quit watching that “Modern Family” show because of the time they devote to those two homosexuals that adopted a little girl. Flaming nicety. Innocuous, harmless presentation of ‘human love’ between two humans.
They very, very carefully avoid the actual physicality of exactly how that ‘love’ is reinforced every night in the bedroom....
A child see this fake ‘loving’ and caring and is treated to the dance-around discussions of daddy-daddy or mommy-mommy and thinks everything is rainbows and lollipops.
If the child to actually witness what really goes on in daddy-daddy time, they’d run screaming out of the bedroom
This kind of crap is doing far more damage that any porno.
No. And this topic begs another question: How is it that Conservatives are the first to fight back against big gubmint - until, that is, it’s Conservative’s big gubmint. Then, by all means, let’s have as much as possible!
The fact that this was brought up for discussion is a problem......
Adultery is definitely illegal under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
No
Our jails are full enough the way it is. We don’t need yet another reason to get the legal system involved in people’s lives.
How about homosexual adultery and our current...President?
No female would ever support doing something like this, unless it was only the man that got punished.
From the position I’m in, yes it should be illegal. Or at least grounds for the offending spouse to receive NOTHING in a divorce settlement.
A year and a half ago my wife ran off with another man. The laws of VA state that she is entitled to 1/2 of the marital share of my Navy retirement, along with other things. What I think she deserves is found in the book of Leviticus.
It used to be, then it got demoted to a civil offense, and then nothing.
What we should ban in our own lives is cheating on God.
No. It would give the scorned spouse another avenue for revenge.
An effort to track down deadbeat dads/moms for non-support of their offspring would be time and effort well-spent. Any woman collecting welfare when they know who the “baby-daddy” actually is, should be charged with defrauding the government.
Adultery is a factor in Homicides. Betrayal suddenly revealed or confirmed is a great emotional shock. If it does not result in a killing it does result in great emotional distress and social cynicism. It is second only to murder in its seriousness. Adultery does cause great social harm. Make it a misdemeanor thus showing social disapproval. (Yes I know there are people for whom infidelity does not matter. They are rare sociopaths.)
Yes. Its a form of thievery and violation of a public oath.
