Well, let me try again:

1) DO you believe that men (if they “identify” as women) should be allowed to use the public restrooms, locker rooms, saunas, and other undressing-places with women and girls? You obviously think that Cruz’s criticism of Trump on this point is “dumb”, but your only reasons have to do with enforceability... not with moral principles.

2) Given that you seem to be arguing in favor of “let them do what they want, since they’ll do it anyway, and it’s difficult to enforce”, are you in favor of ANY laws WHATSOEVER? I can’t think of any law that’s 100% effective or enforceable, so it can’t be simply that. If not, then do you realize that you’re an anarchist?

3) Don’t you see that laws have more purpose than just “catching every last offender”? They also DETER many people from breaking the law in the first place, and they also TEACH some otherwise clueless people that there might be something wrong with the illegal action in the first place.

4) You dodged my point re: sodomy, completely. Here’s my point, as another question: has the striking down of sodomy laws by SCOTUS in 2003 ENCOURAGED or DISCOURAGED sodomy? Do we have MORE of it in 2016, or LESS? Is it MORE openly encouraged and portrayed positively in the media and taught in the schools, or LESS?

You’re always free to beg off the conversation, of course...

1)Enforceability is the problem.
2)I’m in favor of getting rid of the minimum drinking age.
3)Better to inspire morality than try to force through laws.
4)I don’t know if there is more or less sodomy.

Always better to deal with the true root cause problem instead of symptoms of the root cause problem.
