Civilization is defined by rules, Jon, get used to it. You're principles don't change that, they just make sure those rules are safely protected by right minded elitists.

Not me, Stan, I just wanted to be sure that you were not giving up your dream of Shari'a Law. I shouldn't have worried.
Yeah, its really amazing how we were finally liberated from Jefferson's Sharia law after 200 years by you libertarians.

Oh come on out of the closet, Stan.
I can't, I might run into Tim Craig getting a blow job on a street corner somewhere... I'm not sure I could survive such a fulfillment of enlightenment values. IOW, it might harm me.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

No argument. I think the rules should be: The government will enforce any contract entered into freely; The government shall not use force, or allow force to be used, against any person unless that person is using force, or the threat of it, to intimidate or cause bodily harm. Everything else isn't the government's business. All those laws you want to pass telling people what to think and how to pray and when to shit - just not needed.

You are no more liberated than Adnan was, and for pretty much the same reasons.

Just like those folks who told that guy he wasn't a white African American were harmed? I wonder when it was that people started thinking that the freedom not to be offended was in the Bill of Rights. :confused:

You already have. Along with that of a lot of other people who pay taxes, and take some responsibility for their lives.

I don't know, dude, you're the one who has proclaimed exclusive authority to define all that. Who the hell am I to resist?

Don't try to blame America for your neuroses, Stan. Blame your mommy and daddy if you must, but leave Lady Liberty out of it. And at least consider not telling us every time your feelings are hurt by being reminded that there is homosexuality in the universe.

Why is it that these days you feel compelled to lie about what I have said? Are you really that willing to admit that you can't come up with a legitimate response to what I actually did say?

I am actually pretty sure that lady liberty stood watch over a nation where homosexuality was illegal for most of the time she has been here. And that had nothing to do with me. We were just an evil sharia law befuddled society. (According to Oakman's history of the universe, anyway)

Wow. Contradicting your own argument in one post. Thats quite an accomplishment even by your standards.

And that excuses your whining? She also stood guard over a country that didn't have indoor plumbing for 150 years or so.
