When the child is over 18, it is no longer child abuse.
And sodomy is a (the?) leading source of AIDS.
Not true for South Africa. The predominate carriers of AIDS are spread through normal, consentual heterosexual relations.
If we CAN'T outlaw certain acts---EVEN IF they take place "in the privacy of your own home"---then what prevents ANY activity being done "in the privacy of your own home" from being made illegal? Such activities as murder, euthanasia, abortion (even by a non-licensed provider), infanticide, computer hacking, embezzlement via computer, etc. could ALL be legal if done "in the privacy of your own home."
Please, common sence is such a rarity today. Concentual means that all parties agree to this activity. Murder usually involves an unwilling partner. There is a big difference between where you place Mr. Winky, and killing somone, vandalizing, and stealing. At least there is a big difference to me.
Is your life so perfect, that you have the capability, wisdom, intelligence to dictate how other people live their lives too? Personally, I think not.

I AM RESPONDING BACK: No argument from me.

I WROTE: "And sodomy is a (the?) leading source of AIDS."
HODAR RESPONDED: "Not true for South Africa. The predominate carriers of AIDS are spread through normal, consentual heterosexual relations."
I AM RESPONDING BACK: Are we talking about South Africa now? I thought we were talking about sex (and other activities within one's home) and the alleged "right to privacy" in the United States.

I AM RESPONDING: "Since you bring up "consensual," would you AGREE then that ABORTION is NOT a "consensual" agreement between the mother and child, but a UNILATERAL decision by the mother to eliminate someone ELSE's OWN body and life? Therefore, by YOUR OWN definition, ABORTION IS MURDER!
I AM ADDING: And what about euthanasia? Kevorkian gets the victims' distressed consenting permission to kill them.

I AM RESPONDING: "Actually, I have a lot of capability, wisdom and intelligence, but being a Christian, no, I'm not perfect---just forgiven."
