How exactly is the Republican party trying to regulate my sex life ???
Hello again, E:
Ok, I'll play along.. If you're gay, the Republican party is passing laws that allow business's to DISCRIMINATE against you. But, I'm gonna stop with that. This is not news, and I'm not here to educate you.. I'll just mark you down as a person who DENIES the right wing wants to REGULATE your body.. I'm FINE with that..

I'm straight so I really don't feel threatened....However I do sympathize with your gay brothers and sisters !
Oh boy! You opened a can of worms, didn;t you? lol
As a guy guy, I know full well who is and is not for my freedom to exist, be happy, and enjoy the same freedoms of my hetero bothers and sisters.
I have a dart board with pictures on it too, too. :)
Hello again, C:
Look.. You don't have to be the target of a law in order to grasp that there IS such a law. But, that appears to be what you're saying..
Why are you being politically correct?? You don't wanna discuss.. You wanna FIGHT. Let's just jump to the chase.. Libhurls is jus stoopid and ebil, amirite??
We're done here, aren't we?
excon
What has this to do with being politically correct or not?
So you didn't get that wedding cake you were dreaming of ???
Hello again, C:
The thing about virulently anti-gay people, is that most of 'em are gay.

I'm not anti gay....just anti stupid !
Politics is a very complex subject. It's hopelessly simplistic to say that the right "hate" regulations. Anarchists hate regulations, everyone else wants them. Left and right just have a completely different ideas about what the purpose of regulation is and what should be regulated. Broadly speaking the right want equal rights while the left want equal outcomes.
I have really no idea what attempt to regulate people's sex lives you're referring to. Though I can explain conservative attitudes a bit.
Conservative sexual attitudes are based on very solid historical evidence. Have you ever wondered why heterosexual monogamous marriage is the traditional culture in every significant civilization? It's because that is what works. Societies that depart from it are in severe danger of complete collapse. If there were a viable alternative, history would record it.
I used to be very libertarian. In recent years I've become more socially conservative. I've come to believe that if a society is too libertarian it just falls apart. It isn't necessary to be authoritarian but we have to incentivise what society needs by giving it status and respect and disincentivize what is against the societal interest by withholding status and respect.
I'm heterosexual but I'm just not the marrying kind. I have no interest in ever getting married or having children. I believe I have a right to make that decision. Though if everyone were like me, society would collapse. I expect my choice to be tolerated, but I don't expect to be respected for it and certainly not admired.
These days everyone seems to demand that society kiss their ass and celebrate everything they do. It's just so narcissistic.
Hello t:
I'm not sure... I thought when you're being politically correct, you're NOT telling the truth.. Right wingers SAY they hate regulations, but the truth is, they DON'T.. So, if they HATE political correctness, I thought they oughta SAY what they mean..
But, you're right.. I really don't know what political correctness is. I thought it was just being polite.

Hello Goat:

Excon - Such laws only repeal the laws that prohibit discrimination. Allowing discrimination is not a regulation. It's the absence of a regulation. It's just letting the chips fall where they may.
Whether such discrimination is prohibited or not has nothing to with people's sex lives or bodies. They are still free to do as they will.
Government itself must not discriminate, since it's there to represent 'the people'.
A business, though, should be able to chose who its customers are. Whether that discrimination is right or wrong, it's their choice. They'll lose out on loyal customers, they'll lose out on hard working employees and they'll lose other customers & employees who don't want to work for a business which discriminates.
But they should have that right.
I'm short, fat & balding. If a restaurant or store doesn't want to do business with me, that's fine. Someone else will come along who does.
And yes, I'd make an exception for certain businesses like doctors which are life & death. Not being able to have a wedding cake baked isn't life & death.
Because of horndogs like you we must protect our virtue, Whoa!!!
It is a classic view of sex and marriage. This I got from my family and it is hard to let go of, even though I have always been on the left wing. But right or left, the sex lives will always be regulated, you cannot be having sex with a 5 year old and we all agree with that. I don't see a big difference in right or left in actually regulating sex except maybe for prostitution, which I think should be legal.
Hello Capn:
Let's say your wife works for Hobby Lobby, and Hobby Lobby doesn't want to cover your wife's birth control, and the right wing thinks they shouldn't have to. That's gonna have SOME effect on your sex life.. Let's say you're gay, and you wanna be free from discrimination. But you're not because the right wing thinks you shouldn't be, and won't pass anti-discrimination laws.. Let's say you live in Texas, and your wife wants to get an abortion, but the right wing government in Texas made sure that most of the abortion clinics are outta business.. That's gonna effect your sex life..
But, this stuff isn't new. Right wingers have been doing this for a LONG, LONG time.. How come you don't know about it?? Or, are you just denying it happens??
You understand, I'm using the generic "our", which is NOT specific to your personal sexual practice. That certainly DOESN'T mean the right wing doesn't wanna regulate sex - which is the POINT of this post..

Hello IT:
Having laws against child abuse ISN'T regulating sex.. It's regulating CRIME..
In a FREE society, there would NO laws regulating sexual behavior between consenting adults..
excon
It's a civil rights issue. Equal protection under the law. Has nothing to do with regulating our sex lives !
