I am a pretty conservative in my beliefs, but I am stedfast that the Govt. should not interfere in the sex lives of consenting adults with a few exception, on the park bech, in front of kids ect.




These type of laws have been on the books for literally years and years and years....what's the point of the article, other than playing Chicken Little?

The point is they shouldn't be on the statute books - they should be removed.

The problem is that the whitehouse is stoking itself so full of religious fervour that there's a very real possability that the US is looking at MORE of these laws on the books rather than less.

Seeing as how these are STATE laws, the RFL (Religious Fervor Level) of the White House is of no importance.

Jimmy Carter was an openly religious President as well, and there was no increased outcry over decency laws... I see this as the "Clinton Crowd" stirring the pot again (still).

Because Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas all voted IN FAVOR of such laws.

Some of these sex laws define activities that many consider NORMAL to be FELONIES. And Felons lose their right to bear arms.

SO maybe the gun enthusiasts here could get the NRA to lobby against antiquated sex laws.

Other than they are trying to change the constitution based on their sexual mores.



When the amendment goes to the people for ratification, let me know, ok?

And O'Connor stated that our laws should be based on Europe's and not the Constitution - your point?

If the people in the individual states are worried about decency laws, then they need to lobby the legislature of their states to either change the law or remove them from the books.

Again... more Chicken Little "It's all Bush's fault" from the Left side of the aisle....

Most of those sodomy/sex laws have been on the books for years... probably from the PUritan days of our country.... they should be removed (as should so many laws...) but then again, why give The conservative right another reason to bang their bibles?

I think that there is a much bigger problem that should be addressed and that is that increasingly people in this country are legislative happy. People seem to think that if you pass a law, then they fix the problem. There are SOOOOO many laws that have been passed by the states and the federal government over the years and so many regulations but there is a real lack of enforcement of most laws. And then there are laws passed that further complicate the laws already on the books, which then further involves judicial activism.

At some point, people need to understand that laws don't necessarily fix all the problems. (as well as government).

I know about O'Connor's speech. However, nothing in it supported this interpretation:
"And O'Connor stated that our laws should be based on Europe's and not the Constitution - your point?

Matthew, I'm curious as to how the hell a bunch of crappy (or good) laws have anything to do with you or any other foreigners?

I don't think anyone here in the United States gives a shit what laws are on your books.

WTF, do you think President Bush is going to take over the world and make eveyone go to a Christian church?:S

I think their is Evil.

I think any act that is done only to hurt or cause physical or emotional pain is evil.

There are many things that I believe in that I don’t have scientific proof for.

Nothing to do with me. I'm simply a member of an international website (yes - this place isn't aimed at the US) who passed comment on a topic someone opened up for discussion.

Precisely HALF my posts in this thread are JOKES. That should give you an idea as to the esteem I hold this conversation.

The more he leans towards Christian fundamentalism, the more that becomes a possability... that is pretty much the extent of my interest in the topic. That and a wish to see my friends across the pond live a happy life.

Beyond that it's all a joke baby. ;)
