What are your thoughts on this case?

Do you think that politicians have gone too far in legislating morality, especially when it comes to sex and sexuality?

what exactly is ilegal about deviating? I think for the definition of the word that we have gone too far in legislating this type of hting. Part of living in a free society is letting people do things that you don;t like or agree with.

What other cases can you think of that are similar to the one noted above?

What types of lifestyles and interests do you think are persecuted here in the city?

I think there was an article in Philly mag last year about an S&M dungeon that was broken up. Yet a place like Club Kama Sutra stays open? It baffles me. Now that sodomy is a-okay, seems like whatever this woman has been arrested for may soon change. Guess I'll rule out this as an alternative occupational choice for the time being.... :wink:

There is no way that it should be illegal to buy something you can legally give away for free. Prostitution should be legalized. S&M is great fun. Try it, you'll like it. During climax, your pain threshold is higher. I guess I'm a deviant. Not a typical conservative response.

Should there be any restrictions?

Yes Zogby--I usually say that it's the conservative ones you gotta watch out for.

Agreed that prostitution should be legal. Far as I'm concerned, two consenting adults can do whatever they please...so long as it's not voting republican. :wink:

yeah, no murder or S & M without consent. meaning, tying your wife up and beating her doesn't make it S& M (or wife on husband as it may be.) seriously, prostitution is alive and well...why not recognize this with a nice tax so our wage tax can be lowered? and our business privilege tax? plus there would be less kidnapping and other shady practices in the industry. On top of that, our rime stats would go down.

No. Eliminate the income tax and increase the sales tax to 30% or some such high number. Than, decriminalize all drugs. That way all "illiegal" activities are taxed just as much as the rest of us. That new Escalade with the 20 inch rims, Taxed enough to pay for 30 kids schooling for a year. Yeah!
