Re: What the heck does that have to do with polygamy? Zalis Send a noteboard - 13/10/2010 04:22:24 PM
Perhaps we'll also see the bestiality brothels or government run cocaine shops too - but there is a big difference between things consenting ADULTS do and child abuse.


Because this whole thing is looking at it and saying: "Well, they want to, despite legal and moral precedent, so... Why not?"

Who are we, in this relativistic and gray culture, to draw some sanctified line at the age of 18? I agree that the distinction should be made, but am questioning how many would explain the popular moral grounds behind. (note: I am not saying that cultural traditions are always morally superior)
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.
