lol that is so ridiculous
Using this logic, what Josef Fritzl did should be legal too. Since his actions, you know, didnt affect me or you...

Consensual homosexual unions are exactly the same as imprisoning someone and raping them for 24 years. Identical. Completely.

You missed the point. So many people use the reason "It doesnt affect me, so go for it", which is kind of a bullshit excuse.

OK, but you could have easily replaced "it doesn't affect me" with "it doesn't affect anyone outside of the couple," and the meaning would be identical. There's no need to be intentionally obtuse when you knew exactly what he meant; consensual relationships should not be a crime.

So if that guy's daughter had given consent, we have no argument against his actions?

Funny how republicans have the same talking points as some Islamic countries. :laugh:

I noticed that too! Hmmm...

But on topic, I think this is a great first start. No country should criminalize sexuality or sexual orientation. I think picking and choosing who deserves (or doesn't deserve) certain human rights is a short walk down a dark path.

No country should tell another country what they can and cant do.

What are you talking about? We do it all the time.

Sure, if you want. My real point was to illustrate that similarities in talking points don't indicate unity between two groups. Republicans, because they oppose gay marriage, aren't on the same level as Muslims, because Republicans aren't in favor of executing them. Similarly, Democrats, just because they prefer government ownership of some things, aren't on the same level of socialism as the former Soviet Union.

The posters here aren't stupid. They know this is obvious. But they are childish.

It was an analogy.

Not all Islamic countries favor executing gays. A few do, but the majority merely outlaw it.

If all parties give consent, whats the problem? Age/gender doesnt really matter.

Yes. And had 7 children with her.

You are not answering the question. And my issue with it is if kids are born then that would be the problem. If a bro and sis want to bang, have at it

Are you sure about that? That could be taken as you wouldn't mind Iran developing nuclear power.

That was not consensual. He imprisoned her in a downstairs basement under an apt. building for about 24years. She could not leave and she says he raped her.
