This is the issue.
We are so damn busy telling other people what to do with their lives.

If you don't support homosexuality, don't have gay sex.
If you don't support abortion, don't have one.
If you don't agree with birth control, then don't use it.
If you don't like pot, don't smoke it.
Same goes for anything else, don't like it, don't do it.
It's that simple, you don't have to go making it illegal for everyone else.

Live and let live, if you can't do that then please go find some traffic to play in.

Live and let live and mention abortion? To the fundies, you may as well have said "If you don't want to murder someone don't kill anyone" and then say live and let live.

And if atheist are allowed to get married then so should gay people.

But no we need to protect the sanctity of marriage so drunk heterosexual couples can get married in Vegas and get it annulled the next day....

Gay couples might make the lines to long and the straight people might have time to sober up and change their minds.


This post is laced with sarcasm please don't overdose on it.

Yeah I just did.
I have one uterus to control, my own, no one else's.
I don't tell people what to do with theirs, they sure as hell better not tell me.


Plain and simple, we cannot tell another people what they are allowed to do with their body.


Honestly had I gotten pregnant as a young teen I would have had one, thank goodness I waited till I was older and on birth control but I'm 23 now and the idea of shoving something the size of a baby through my vagina scares me, the thought the absolutely petrifying. I'm banking on an epidural being good enough it doesn't hurt.
Granted I am in a place now where it wouldn't be totally disastrous to my finances and life so I doubt I would ever get one. I'm also smart enough to use birth control.

I couldn't imagine telling another woman who didn't want to have a baby that she had to go through that.
I couldn't imagine telling another person what they could do with their body either.

Why have we allowed our government to get into the liquor distribution business?

We have become a country of pathetic losers who look to the government for almost everything in life.

I seriously doubt that is true. You don't even know what laws you might be violating.

Anyway, what exactly would you like to do that is currently illegal?
I'd like to visit Cuba, set off fireworks, and lots of other things without the threat of going to jail.

I know they've looked at selling the stores off at times, but everytime they do, people stop whining about how the state will lose their cash cow.. (ignoring the billions of dollars they could receive for the stores)

At least as far as you know.

Did you watch the OP video? Notice people who lost everything even when they thought they were complying with every law?

It happens.
