He's a throne sitter.

Just in this thread alone you have posted this

For the same reason infidelity is wrong. For the same reason cheating is wrong. For the same reason that kicking your dog is wrong. For the reason being a con artist is wrong. For the same reason any number of moral hazards are wrong.

But, if you actually need to ask that question, no amount of explanation will enable you to understand.

And This

Again, if you as a thinking adult don't understand what's morally wrong about prostitution, I don't know where to start.

A properly functioning society MUST have a moral compass to survive. We, as thinking adults know what is moral/immoral. We know that infidelity is immoral. We know that giving drugs to an addict is morally wrong. We know that cheating is immoral.

And This

No thanks. To borrow a quote:

“Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

And this

The profound irony is that you reject the morality of Judeo-Christian principles which make the freedom/liberty you and I both cherish possible.

It's exactly that rejection of common knowledge that dooms us to repeat history. Unfortunately, people like you fail to learn from it.

And this

If you need to ask what's morally wrong about prostitution, I'm not sure where to even start explaining it.

And This

If I reference the acceleration of gravity, I take for granted that the person with whom I'm speaking knows it's 32ft/sec/sec.

Likewise, I expect seemingly intelligent people on this forum to have a baseline of knowledge of America's founding principles and the foundational principles of Western Civilization. I have neither time nor inclination to provide you a free history lesson.

That said, you really should become knowledgeable if you're going to debate this topic, as currently your assumptions about both are completely wrong. That wouldn't really matter if it was just you, but far many people have an equally uninformed knowledge base.

Loss of morality walks hand in hand with loss of freedom/liberty, which is something we all hold dear.




All you do in every thread is make assertions of faith and emotion rather than reason. You then insult everyone here that disagrees with you.

You are a troll.

You rev up your righteous indignation in a failing attempt to win people to your point of view, and all you manage to achieve is to alienation.

OMG I just read this and busted out laughing... sometimes I crack myself up.

First my friend...to simply say. "You're Wrong" is neither an argument, a debate, a form of reason or logic at all.

The simple fact is you have not demonstrated any ability to form a logical presentation of your statements so as to convince anyone of anything, other than your ability to present yourself as an ideologue with no ability to explain your statements, which by the way are from actual founding father's writing that in fact YOU prove are wrong and are the one who needs a lesson in history and fact.

I vote for #2.

Forced young marriages.

Salem witch hunts

Catholic priests and young boys.

Agreed :) There in lies the dangers.

Hitler was raised Catholic...

You're hung up on linking morality with religion. Ya really gotta stop that...it's a dangerous mix. It's been done way too many times with horrific results. If I have to read Foundational Principles" or "Western Civilization" one more time hitting the ignore button...or does that only work for "producers" like the post edit button?

That one happened before yours...that's why I said, "again".

You act as if history is free of atrocities BASED in religious beliefs. THEY can be repeated as well. Blind sheep will follow who ever feeds them. Put the blame where it belongs.

"Prostitution is immoral by the standard of the moral compass of Western Civilization. "

Tautological arguments are tautological.

Hey, look LetsShrug! Another hijack!

Yeah. It happens.

I love to shoot. But, all I do is make holes in targets I'm not into killing animals -- but that doesn't mean I'm willing to make this a restriction for other folks. If what the dentist says is true, no blame can be assigned to him. The desire and allowance to kill big game is another subject altogether. When I had a camera shop in Michigan I had many customers who hunted game from little critters to deer and elk. The ones I knew waited for the proper season, kept to the limit and operated within the law. I even knew some successful poachers. Again, a topic for a different conversation. Why should I care what Jimmy Kimmel says about anything? So far as I can tell, he is a comedian and an emcee, whose expertise is, well, is what? Nothing so far as I can tell. But he has a public forum and lives where there is freedom of speech (so far).
