Instead lets deal with me and you, you fell down the slope I didn’t why what was so different about you and me.
Answer me this Why should I and people like me be held to the same set of rules as those who make a mess of their life. Is that fair, just because some people go out of their way to screw up should I be subjected to the controls these people need

Gotcha!

It is fascinating that people turn so ugly when defending their pleasures. Like nopardons above, you miss my thesis which was:
Why read anything less than that which is unambiguously excellent when there is so much of it?
You avoid that question and make me the issue. You are paying for it, like it or not. Now that you are smarting I'll give you the answer that you don't want to hear:
Because it is better for a society to follow God's Law than to pretend that WE KNOW better of the knowledge of good and evil.
Pretty simple, isn't it? If more people were following that law and operating according to my thesis above, would YOU be better off? Would we have a nation of people, so capable that we wouldn't need the welfare state? Would we have a nation of people who would be responsible enough to realize the blessings of liberty? So when someone who has paid those prices makes an argument that says, "Not because you will necessarily fall down the slippery slope should you avoid such things, but because a) some will; b) you'll pay for that; and c) there is a superior alternative" you attack their life as evidence to ignore the thesis and justify your choices.
Aren't you clever?
