SCOTUS strikes down Texas sodomy ban

SCOTUS sided with the perverts.

[The Red Zone]

What are rights? What are their extent? What are their limitations? Define them.

Now do so yourself. C'mon you empty bag of wind.

[Lazamataz]

Don't fight them. Do as I do -- stand way back and ridicule them.

[OWK]

I already answered.

That wasn't an answer.

It was some nebulous evasion.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

***sigh***

Yet another one, an under .5 percenter, who is a self taught "expert" on the Constamatooshin. I coulda predicted it.

[Tall_Texan]

I predict within 30 years, today will become a national holiday, like Martin Luther King Day. Don't know what they'll call it but it will celebrate the liberation of an "oppressed minority" group in the same way that Cinco De Mayo and Juneteenth do.

[Lazamataz]

Now do so yourself. C'mon you empty bag of wind.

Sir,

I happen to know that OWK is a full bag of wind. A full bag of wind.

Yours, kiss kiss, all my love,

There is a point where one faces so much sophistry that one sees one is arguing pointlessly with a fool. Your history is manifest, and that point has already been reached.

[OWK]

You really can't answer such a simple question?

[mrsmith]

Well, we do have many libertarians on FR who know and love the Constitution.

Some of the people giggling on this thread will have second thoughts soon about the way this was done.

Maybe 'everyone' loves a living constitution when it's living their way.

[Cooter]

That's the last time I'm renting out my scuba gear to Libertarians. Damn them!

[Lazamataz]

Everyone knows this is a thread to bash Libertarians and to try and paint anyone who approves of this decision as a rapist and a child molestor.

O! Then I am on the right thread.

(eyes narrow) Say..... you aren't one of them rapist child molesters, are ya?

[Pearls Before Swine]

What a man, a woman, a midget and a donkey do in the privacy of their bedroom is none of my business!

That is, until you get on their spam e-mail list.

Yes, wind is about the only thing that fills him.

[OWK]

There is a point where one faces so much sophistry that one sees one is arguing pointlessly with a fool. Your history is manifest, and that point has already been reached.

Translation: You asked a question I don't have the remotest clue how to answer, so I better call you a sophist and run away before my ignorance is further exposed.

Keep the discussion to consenting adults. No one is saying anyone has a right to child abuse or bestiality- only the common sexual practices of consenting adults.

(In fact, I don't remember you on that side of the the WBTS threads. I should ping all those usual suspects... they'd have a conniption if they saw you supporting states rights, LOL.)

What are the WBTS threads?

[Teacher317]

And if you look at the laws of that period, 'individual rights' did not include homosexual sodomy. In fact, buggery was punishable by death in many of the colonies/early states.

Let's rewrite this as... And if you look at the laws of that period, 'individual rights' did not include blacks or women. In fact, escaping a plantation was punishable by death in many of the colonies/early states.

Your argument is just as ridiculous no matter how it is applied. The government has gotten many issues wrong, and it has taken time to get things right on many fronts.

You can say "times have changed", but if "times have changed" that should be reflected by... voting.

Slavery was not repealed by voting. Heck the Bill of Rights did not become the law of the Colonies by voting. It took a heck of a lot of violence to get them respected. Many other Rights came into being thanks to the Supreme Court, such as the Right to Privacy, Miranda Rights, etc. Are you saying that these rights should not be respected, because they weren't "voted on"? (In case you haven't read the Constitution, we are guaranteed a Republic, NOT a Democracy. Voting on issues is done almost exclusively by representatives, not individuals.)

Again, libertarians are against voting.

This is just silly. Do you make similar smears against racial groups? I figured it was the Leftists who enjoyed labeling people, then assaulting the label with untrue and illogical assertions. You must be so proud to use the same kind of tactics that they do.
(In case you hadn't noticed, every group, even Conservative FReepers, spans a wide variety of opinions. It would be just as ignorant to say that FReepers are celebrating or decrying this SCOTUS decision, when clearly, there are many on several sides of the issue.)
