** Right of Self-Preservation **

"Why does YOUR right supercede the rights of others with a different point of view? Don't they have the RIGHT to live in the society they want to live in?"

SELF-PRESERVATION. If their behavior destroys our society, then we have the right to forbid their behavior. If people are going to go out and commit sex-acts, that result in their getting diseases of all kinds, that pollute our blood supply, that bankrupt our health research and free health care system, we have a RIGHT to forbid their behaviors.

If people are going to try to engage in behaviors that wreck the family, which is the bedrock of our society, then we have the RIGHT to forbid those behaviors that do that. We have a right to have laws against unmarried couples living together. We have the right to have laws against adultery, because adultery wrecks families. Who supports the children? How are the children taken care of?

We have a right to preserve ourselves and our society. When people engage in behaviors which are destructive to society, then we have a right to forbid those behaviors. We don't have to sit around and allow our society to be destroyed by a lot of self-indulgent fools, who can't see beyond tomorrow, who are too blind to see the EFFECTS of their actions, who live only for instant gratification. Who cares what happens afterwards? Well, WE care, because we have to pay the consequences.

Society can make those kinds of determinations. We can just look around and see all the terrible effects, and say: "No more! We can't afford it! We want our society to continue! We have children coming up! We have grandchildren! We want them to have a society to live in, too!"

If these people with their behaviors are going to spread all these diseases, and wreck families, we have a right to forbid that.

Heterosexuals spread diseases also. Shall we jail them?

Why not just arrest EVERYONE. AFter all, I've lied in my life at some point, or hurt someone's feelings. Probably no more destructive a thing exists in society as jealousy, yet I don't hear much of a cry to ban that.

Todd?

Is that you?

Cutting and pasting articles from people whose opinions support your point of view?

Can I play too?

Or will you simply engage into more name-calling as a rebuttal?

It's customary to provide links when posting stuff like this CJ.

We have a right to preserve ourselves and our society.

Once we have excersized the right to protect society against one specific obnoxious threat, please remember not to bend over in the shower for the next 10-20 years.
