explain the details man. C'mon.....you've put so much thought into the ethical theory behind

Last attempt:

The entire argument about sexual behavior is so simple it can be reduced to the following: Should there be any social rules about what sexual activity a human being engages in?

If the answer is no then everyone should just shut up...hetero is okay, cousins are okay, polygamy is okay, bi is okay; gay is okay, 13-year olds are okay, and one or one-hundred-at-a-time are okay, et. al.

However, if a society decides that certain rules about who does whom when and where is functional and perhaps even necessary, all that is left is to decide is WHAT are the rules of sexual behavior and WHO shall make them...simple. Those who follow the 'rules' are then NORMAL and all the rest are PERVERTS... so very, very simple...you decide.

Man, I quit.

I've said already forty-BILLION times that you don't need to convince me of the immorality of homosexuality. My only point all along has been that it's an impractical goal to hope that you can ever make a law against homosexuality and hope that it'll have a significant impact!

It's like saying, "Lying is morally wrong, so we should make a law against telling a lie at any time!" Obviously that could never even hope to prevent lying, or even significantly reduce it, no matter HOW many laws you make.

Not everything that's morally repugnant can be stopped! It's a waste of human time and talent (yours, mine, everyone's) to try otherwise!

But if you REALLY WANT to waste your time and talent on this fine, I can't stop you.

Like I said, I quit. I think I've made my case anyway; anyone who's been lurking in this conversation can see that.

Enjoy! (and now you'll probably HAVE to post something else, JUST to get the last word in, and that's fine too. Knock yourself out.)
