Balerion,
You've made it clear, you want to live in a society where the State can force a woman to have sex with someone she doesn't want to as long as her profession is sex worker.
This is a blatant misrepresentation both of what I said, and what anyone here has posited as a potential outcome. As I said before, you're only bringing up sex because it allows you to do what you've done here, which is lie while using disturbing imagery. Yours is a position of intellectual bankruptcy.
Even if sex as a trade was treated just like any other form of trade, a woman would never be forced to have sex with anyone she didn't want to. Just like you aren't forced to sell vacuum cleaners to someone you don't like. You'd be in violation of the law for refusing service based on illegitimate reasons, but no one has a gun to your head telling you to sell that vacuum. You'll pay fines and lose business, but you don't physically have to sell anything to anyone you don't want to.
While I find that utterly repugnant (and of course that means "I'm the nutbag"... yeah, me, not the person who is standing over a poor innocent woman who is scared and doesn't want to have sex with someone and forcing her to either fuck - or lose her business and don't feed her family. Yeah, it's me that's a little off in the head for standing up for the woman's civil liberty and her right to refuse to have sex, her right to protect herself.....no you're not totally insane, it's me).
Why can't you be honest about this? Sex isn't even a legal trade in the vast majority of the country, and even if it were, I imagine there would be different rules applied because everyone (except you, apparently) understands that selling sex is not like selling vacuum cleaners.
Your's is not the society I want to live in.
You're dodging the question, of course, because you lack the integrity to answer it. Sadly, this isn't the first time you've done, nor will it be the last. As for the society you don't want to live in, lucky for you, you don't live in that society. None of us do.
Unfortunate for me and fortunately for you, most people think like you do. Oh sure, they wouldn't soil their hands directly. That's what jack-boots are paid by the State to take care. And yes, we'll just make sex-working illegal altogether. They can get a pimp and work underground. Problem solved.
More absurd imagery. You have no argument, so you resort to talking in extremes, hence the talk of sex trade and jack-boots and violence.
If the States passes a law that says the business owner can't discriminate
It's already happened. It's call the Civil Rights Act and it was passed in the 1960s.
- you little State-bots are first in line to see she's fined, incarcerated, loses her State licence or in some way is punished and made to suffer for the gall of not having sex with someone she chooses not to.
Already debunked this idiocy. Get off the sex bit and move on to practical, real-world examples.
The State decides gay marriage is illegal - you little State-bots are first in line to bash gays. So, don't pretend you're all homo-supportive.
Excuse me? When have I ever bashed gays? Substantiate your claim or retract it.
You've made it clear - it's the Law that will determine morality.
Oops! Michael caught in another lie:
Balerion said:As to your question of whether or not it's the state's job to decide what is or isnt' moral, obviously not. Society decides what is and isn't moral; the state just makes laws.
Post reported.
If the State says abortion is illegal - you little State-bots are right out front denigrating incest rape victims for daring to go against God and State. The State is your Religion the the POTUS your Priest. So of course, if a 7-11 owner doesn't want to serve Asians, we're not going to let the free-market work. No, that doesn't feel as good as watching a jack-boot press down on a carotid. Watching the little bigot squirm and squeal and is made to pay for all the people who slighted us in the least. Now, that sort of retribution feels ... Progressive.
Okay, so you're clearly off on one of your loony rants and not addressing anything I've actually said. Well, if you ever come down off that Mountain Dew Code Red high, feel free to respond to my actual post. If you're not banned for blatantly lying.
And ....why not? I mean *gasp* He uses the roads!
It'll be interesting to watch the damage done when the full weight of the pendulum swings back the other way. Ouch, that's going to hurt. Oh, and yes, I must be one of those nutty anarchists for even daring to question the authority of the State. I'm questioning the in-group. I must be dangerous or nutty.... [/QUOTE]
