And once again, all these activites are PRESENTLY happening, and have been going on for millenia, it's nothing new. Although we may find these actions revolting, I don't believe I want a gov't to have the ability of kicking down bedroom doors to inspect the activities inside. It's frankly, none of your business when, how, how often, what position, and who adults have consentual sex with. How would you police these activities anyway? Randomly storm bedrooms? Bug private citizen's bedrooms? If you can't enforce a law, it's pretty silly to have a law.
I assume you know that the reason this is being tried by the Supreme Court, is because police responded to a bogus burglary call, and kicked the door down of a private residence to find two men having sex in their own home. The bogus call was made by a jealous 'boyfriend'. The police, after having invaded a private home, decided to charge the owner and his 'guest' with a crime, rather than being sued for kicking down the front door of an otherwise 'normal' house.
Sadism, masochism, incest have certainly been practiced throughout the ages. They've also been nearly universally condemned in nearly every culture. I didn't say that any of these acts were "new." What is "new" is that the Supreme Court may legitimize these acts by appealing to privacy and consent. That is the issue here.
"Although we may find these actions revolting, "I don't believe I want a gov't to have the ability of kicking down bedroom doors to inspect the activities inside."
I don't suppose that, even if these activities are illegal (and many of them currently are), we would have a proactive police force on call to weed out funny business in peoples' bedrooms.
"It's frankly, none of your business when, how, how often, what position, and who adults have consentual sex with."
And why not? It's a free country, and I'm a citizen. Are you saying that citizens have no right to decide if incest or sadism should be allowed in their communities? If so, how do you reconcile restricting my freedom in favor of the freedom of masochists, sadists, and those practicing incest?
"How would you police these activities anyway? Randomly storm bedrooms? Bug private citizen's bedrooms? If you can't enforce a law, it's pretty silly to have a law."
The laws against incest are currently enforced; laws against all sorts of deviant sexual behavior are currently enforced without stormtroopers breaking down doors.
Next argument?
