I seriously cannot believe that you support laws that criminalize consensual behavior. Some woman musta seriously hurt you bad.
Again...there are THREE parties involved when it comes to adultery...
so it does not matter if you have TWO consenting adults. (Buy the way..
why do they have to be adults, by your philosophy, why should it matter
what age they are...who's to say at what age is considered adulthood
(and actually my issue with women..well...that's for another day
:biggrin1:
Monogamy is great for those who desire it, but laws to protect it are draconian, arbitrary and ultimately absurd.
Tell that to the State of Michigan...where the Maximum penalty is life in
Prison. (Of course in Maryland...it's 10 dollars) So there is a broad perspective here on the issue of Adultery. Non the less, its still considered a crime.
Without meaning to, you are supporting the stoning of a woman for a consensual act: otherwise you are in serious need of professional services. (Now, Now...be kind) Of course I am not advocating stoning.
But I think it's interesting how Adultery...how did one person compare it to...like speaking out of turn to an adult?...that rediculous. It's almost
come to apoint where marraige vows mean nothing.
Marriage is not necessarily about child-producing nor about child-rearing. There are plenty of childless couples (entirely by choice), and there are no laws proscribing the marriage of post-menopausal women. Using "protecting the kids" as an excuse to criminalize adultery is disingenuous and, again, absurd. (I think you are doing a poor job of rationalizing here..
go tell this to a family law Judge..and listen to what she has to say)
The good thing is, a person does not have to get married. That way..these issue would be moot.
Fornication also leads to unwanted babies and STDs. Should there be laws enforcing virginity before marriage as well? (We're only talking about marraige here..outside marriage..people can do anything they want)
And, BTW: sodomy laws aren't just about gay sex: they prohibit oral and anal sex between two adults regardless of gender, and whether or not they're married or simply fornicating. (yea..yea..I know)
