danielsh Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 There's a standard way to have sex, especially when for reproduction, but there's no one way to receive mutual sexual pleasure, when consenting adults are involved.Lawrence has generally been interpreted to strike down all sodomy laws; find me one that deals exclusively with sodomy in rape cases and I'll admit to misinterpreting it. (A cursory glance at Google results yielded nothing.)Finally, you claim thatThe fact that a rapist will be charged with two crimes (Rape and Sodomy)for vaginal and anal penetration shows in and of itself that sodomy and sexual intercourse are regarded as two separate things.The law, however, is often off the mark when it comes to issues of justice. That same logic (the fact that the law says x means x is true) could be extended to gay marriage: The fact that homosexuals and heterosexuals can both be married in Massachusetts proves that gay marriage and straight marriage are the same thing. (In my eyes, this is more or less the case, but I know you disagree with it, hence the example.)
Dante Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 "no more idiotic, one-liner, ad hominem, offtopic, enraged sputtering, poorly thought-out replies"Only because you'll find no-one to direct them at.Since I've mostly been trying to clarify things and suggest viewpoints rather than make a full-blown case one way or another in this thread (and I'm not about to do that), and most of one side has given up in disgust (for which I do not blame them), I reckon there'll be no point me posting either (it's not as if I'll make any headway with anyone, and I'd only bring more bigotry out). Someone please banish this thread...Oh, by the way, food for thought, from the Rules section..."Harassing, threatening, intimidating, or discriminating remarks toward other members will not be tolerated"Nema, please, you have friends in Moderator places; for pity's sake ask them to lock this dungheap... Edit: And my arguments may be in purple, Gunwounds, but at least they actually make sense.
Gobalopper Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Guys this has been going on for 7 pages... do you really expect anyone to come to any sort of agreement here?
Wolf Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 I think this has gone beyond meaningful discussion/reaching conclusions. Now, they do it for the joy of the battle.
ordos45 Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 I think this has gone beyond meaningful discussion/reaching conclusions. Now, they do it for the joy of the battle.That's how I'm viewing it as well, if anyone disagrees IM me, I'll unlock it for a good reason. But not so you can get in the final word.
