Scalia: What a massive disruption of the social order this ruling entails.

US Supreme Court ^ | June 26, 2003 | nwrep

[Skywalk]

I can at least understand yours(and Justice Thomas') position.

I cannot support Scalia or the ban-whatever-we-want-by-vote crowd here.

[Skywalk]

Bad laws promote disrespect for the law as a whole.

That sentiment isn't originally mine either.

And aren't you the same one that goes on and on about arresting people in your state for blue law violations?

Yeah, you're the thug cop aren't you?

F16..yeah that's you.

[TFMcGuire]

It is not I who am delusional, Dementia, but you.

Morality is objective.

I can tell you right now witout even knowing you that if you are male then you are not a monogamous homosexual.

Unless you define the term as having only one partner tonight.

I don't need to justify my arguments because they are correct.

A good man seeks to define his life by truth. While an immoral man seeks to define truth by his lifestyle.

Those who immerse themselves in moral perversion---usually the same individuals who practice it---are in the latter group

[FITZ]

Even if the government wasn't given the authority to forbid prostitution and gay sex, it doesn't have the authority to attempt to regulate the spread of disease by providing health checks to prostitutes and it shouldn't control the insurance companies by forcing them to provide coverage for AIDS ---the reason gays really want their unions blessed by the government ---after demanding the government stay out of their sex lives at first ---is because they want spousal benefits for insurance ---they can marry each other for the AIDS treatments paid for by the health insurance plans.

[cookcounty]

"Wouldn't this violate the marriage agreement? Seems to me like it's a breach of (the marriage) contract.'

Not according to Bill and Hillary, Haha.

Ok, so you win this one. I still gotcha, 2-1.

[Dimensio]

Well, in the case of your third problem with taxpayers paying for STDs, I would think that the simplest solution is to remove the socalist healthcare system so that you no longer have to pay for the consequences of people's stupid sexual decisions.

[Sparta]

I can at least understand yours(and Justice Thomas') position.

And I agree with you on repealing the sodomy laws. You and I may just disagree on how to do it.

I cannot support Scalia or the ban-whatever-we-want-by-vote crowd here.

Ah yes. The sky is falling, the Republic is dead, chicken little prudish types. The Constitution doesn't address moral issues for a reason. It was meant for every state and city to decide their quality of life issues.

[F16Fighter]

"Scolia is not the reegade here. He is standing for 200+ years of historical Constitutional interpretation."

Oh dontcha know? We have people here who pretend to know the Founding Fathers intentions have been misinterpreted -- they actually intended that:

There should be NO age limitation of sexual consent; sodomy should actually be encouraged; dog was really meant to be more than just man's "best friend."

Such is the enlightened libertarian "mind."

[TFMcGuire]

I don't hate them.

I am a Christian.

I love them by warning them that they are engaged in practices which take root in the very soul and change a man's thinking so that he cannot come to God.

Would you love your child by allowing him to destroy himself.

There is hope for all who sin. And the homosexual can be delivered from his deathstyle and set free in Christ.

[Sparta]

And aren't you the same one that goes on and on about arresting people in your state for blue law violations?

I think you have F16Fighter confused with FF578.

[Dimensio]

the reason gays really want their unions blessed by the government ---after demanding the government stay out of their sex lives at first ---is because they want spousal benefits for insurance ---they can marry each other for the AIDS treatments paid for by the health insurance plans.

You know, I've seen a lot of discussions on homosexual marriage, different discussions biased on different sides, and I've never heard this argument before. In fact, given that most homosexuals don't have AIDS, I'm not sure how this could be a significant issue.

[Sparta]

Well, in the case of your third problem with taxpayers paying for STDs, I would think that the simplest solution is to remove the socalist healthcare system so that you no longer have to pay for the consequences of people's stupid sexual decisions.

That's the best way to avoid most of these moral issues. Just simply shrink the size of government all around.

[alphadog]

"Think how much worse it would be if the Dems were in power."

I don't see much difference do you? ...I know that if BJ Billy were still in charge doing this crap most of us would be "pegging and pinging"

[Dimensio]

I don't hate them.

I have to doubt the sincerity of your assertion given your previous comment.

Same brave men would have lynched a practicing homo!

[ffusco]

......go to the matresses.....

LOL. (hums theme from The Godfather)

[TFMcGuire]

Oh Yeah,

Sorry!

Antisodomy laws are not newly being passed in Texas or elsewhere. These laws have always been part of American society.

Our forefathers understood far better than we the destructive nature of homosexuality and outlawed it.

We want to help homosexuals. But we understand that help them or not, we must protect society.

[F16Fighter]

And aren't you the fledging "actor"??

Come on -- Let's see that pretty-boy face on your new profile page again. But again, that would explain your, ahem, "view" of the issue at hand.

[Sparta]

Damn, where is that constitutional right to ANYTHING not explicitly listed in the constitution?

But...I thought the Ninth Amendment said I had more rights than those explicitly listed in the constitution. I guess I'm just a naive libertarian.

[BlazingArizona]

The state passes all sort of laws to outlaw many things that we do with our bodies, prostitution, suicide, drug use, etc.

And the state is dead wrong there too. The state should limit itself to keeping us from preying on each other. Punishing sinners is God's job.

[Sparta]

Talking to yourself is a sign of insanity.
