Reply #295: I'm libertarian on how consenting adults choose to get their jollies.

[Warren DeMontague]

...in the privacy of their own homes, And that applies to heterosexuals as well as gays.

I don't care what people want to read, watch, or engage in so long as everyone involved is a consenting adult. Therefore, I am opposed to censorship in all its forms. Which means I don't consider pictures of naked adults, or pictures of adults having sex, "oppression" of anyone.

I don't think calling anyone "hot" constitutes "verbal assault" nor do I think that looking at a naked woman (or man, for that matter) is "visual rape", two propositions I've seen floated here.

I happen to think most prostitution, "vice", and drug laws are --at best-- an unmitigated waste of time.

I find control freaks (and, to be clear, I'm talking about people's personal lives here, not things like corporate accountability or environmental regulation) just as onerous if they are coming from the alleged "left" as if they are coming from the right.

Essentially, I skew libertarian on social issues, and if anything I'm becoming more recalcitrant in this as I age.

Lots of people here can hang with those viewpoints, but some have been known to blow a gasket around them.
