I see that as key, myself....I think economically and politically there is little difference between Libertarian and Reagan style Republican, but on social issues the Libertarians are too liberal for my tastes....

This thread is for anyone that wishes to comment or further discussion on the ongoing debate between Emmett and Crin. The one-on-one thread is for the debaters only.
However, I'm fairly certain that both will read any comments and know that both are capable of responding and/or using any relevant arguments that are placed here.

"The government is a child that has found their parents credit card, and spends knowing that they never have to reconcile the bill with their own money"-Shannon Churchill
Crin is so anxious to legislate HIS religious morals that he would criminalize homosexuality. I wonder if he'd endorse a law forcing his wife to don a burka.
BTW Crin...you're either exaggerating your experiences with homosexuals or you've got a serious case of gay vibe.
I don't think Crin wants to legislate his religious morals. Crin is founded in strong Christian faith. The Bible teaches us that these behaviors are improper and therefore sins. I do feel that Crin like many other Christian people, confuse the purpose of religion in Government. That becomes a Church and State issue.
Frankly if Crin could have his way and these things be non existant, i'd be just fine with that myself. The reality however is that like you say, we will not legislate these things away. Making them against the law will not eliminate them. People will always make bad choices. Robbery is against the law but people still steal.
My contention that choice to engage in these activities should be allowed does not constitute my endorsement of them. Homosexual behavior between two consenting adults is choice. It's a bad choice in my opinion, a terrible one frankly, but it does not harm anyone outside the realm of the consenting parties. I think Crin is confusing pedophilia, which is to me different. That is a crime and would always remain so. No human being in their right mind endorses this type of sickening behavior.
If you continue to think the way you have always thought, you will continue to get what you have always got!
A government big enough to provide you everything you need is big enough to take everything you have!
I impose my religious moral convictions at home but my wife doesn't wear a burka and no where close to that kind of relationship. I have never advocated imposing my religious moral convictions on the public.
I was kind of a, "pretty boy" when I was young. I always had girls after me and when I was places like Disneyland or Summer Camp I always picked up on the hottest girls not to mention girls would come up and ask to have their pictures taken with me. I had the lead singer of Bow Wow Wow (Anabella) stop and sing, "I Want Candy" to me at her concert.
So I guess that would explain why things happened to me the way they did, whether you believe it or not. I'll let others decide if I'm honest or not.
