Morality IS defined. Some just believe it does not apply to them, ie moral relativism. /shrug/ kinda like thinking gravity doesn't apply to everyone. It does. It is a universal force, whether you believe in it or understand it.

I mean, it's on the liberal checklist of destroying the family and morals:

easy divorce - legalized
welfare - legalized
Abortion - legalized
Sodomy - legalized
Same-sex "marriage" - legalized
transgenderism - in progress
euthanasia - in porgress
prostitution - in progress?
polygamy - upcoming
bestiality - upcoming
pedophilia - upcoming


BTW, I heard it wasn't just Backages but Craigslist too who got in trouble for the trafficking. I found, according to 2nd Vote, that Craigslist is a donor of....Planned Parenthood.


Shows you what Craigslist thinks of women! Patriots should boycott Craigslist as part of the #MeToo pushback!
Go live in China. They love people like you who believe the government knows best regarding how people should live their personal lives. North Korea loves that stuff even better. The western world tends to desire more independence than that.

Not not a joke. It's truth.

You want to define morality as you see it. That's called relativism. /shrug/

Just like it does not matter what you think of gravity, it exists BEYOND your state of knowledge or acceptance.

So even when you don't believe, define it differently, refuse to acknowledge it ... take a step off the cliff and you will fall. Gravity does not care what you *believe* as it exists outside of YOU. Same with morality.

And you will insult and post a joke as a response. name call and say people can chose their own morality. /shrug/ Whatever. Just be careful of the fall as it's a long way down.

People no one ever would have thought.

December 21st, 2017 EO

“Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruptionâ€



Put plainly, President Trump just declared a state of emergency, allowing his administration to freeze the financial accounts of anyone involved with human trafficking, child pornography, trafficking children for pedophilia or human sacrifice. And this includes politicians and state actors – “current or former government officials, or a person acting for or on behalf of such an offical.â€


One year ago, President Donald Trump vowed to end the deplorable practice of human trafficking, responsible for supplying children to pedophiles across the world. The President appeared on cameras amidst an expert group of anti-human traffickers, presumably advising the U.S. leader of how to handle the endemic problem.
Since then there have been numerous pedophile arrests that have gone unreported by the mainstream media.
So you know about them how?

You could try to present an argument.

Look at that, empirical evidence! Looking forward to the proof of morality presented with the same stringent criteria.

Same with morality.
- oh.

"Gravity exists, ergo morality does." It's a bit - lacking - in intellectual rigour, innit?

Who enforces your version of morality? The benevolent State? What if I don't consent to your version of morality? Does the State have the right to kill me?

Sort of like sanctimony?

I'd have concerns about the mental health of anyone who wants to become a prostitute, given that there are so many safer alternatives that also involve selling your body, like being a camgirl or a stripper...but legalizing prostitution would only make it safer.

There is a valid argument to having it be illegal because that discourages people from making what is probably a bad decision...but it might not always be a bad decision, and you are messing with people's personal lives.

I see more reasons to legalize prostitution than not. I don't feel as enthusiastic about legalizing it as I do about things like legalizing pot.

That's kinda the thing, isn't it? As someone put it to me: "If two consenting adults decide to boink, it's not our business. Why does that change because money changes hands?" - and I couldn't come up with a good answer to that.

Of course, for those who insist on morals being laws of nature and take it upon themselves to point out, loudly, the moral failings of other people - for them, it removes a group they could comfortably look down upon. And they do so love having those.
