Moral values of Apolyton

The difference is that same-sex relationships produce offspring, which is the point of reproduction. I hold that people should try to raise the child, put it up for adoption, or don't have it in the first place. While this may be idealism, our society should try to eliminate the 'need' for abortions with more active programs that encourage kids towards academics, sports or even hobbies, and away from drugs and sex.

Er, I assume you meant same-sex relationships do not produce offspring.

Why is this a bad thing? And surely you don't remotely think all heterosexual couplings are about reproduction? What about just being together with someone you love and care for, regardless of the gender involved? Your logic invalidates any heterosexual relationship where children aren't had. Should people only be allowed to have sex for procreation?

*feeling bad about himself for not thinking to champion the right to same-sex encounters before the right to kill in self defence*

Not that I've done either

God Boris, if I had a dollar for every guy who has told me that he thinks drinking alcohol improves his driving skill I could fund top quality AIDS treatment throughou Africa for the next ten years!!

I would be with Dr. Strangelove on this issue (not to say that I don't watch porn, I just feel it is wrong)

No, he's really confused. Why don't you set him straight? Be gentle.

Yeah. That was a spelling error on my part.

While I certainly don't think that not all couples are out to have the kids, my arguement is that the purpose of sex is procreation. So yes, people should only have sex for hte sake of having kids. Of course such a law would be impossible to govern either way. Trying to find "right" in morality is a vain endevour.

the only thing I have going for me is that I do not pay for it

Since when did sex only have one singular purpose?

@Doc

On drunk driving: Well, more seriously, I had a friend in high school who died as a result of driving under the influence, so I guess my opinion is very emotionally tinged. But how anyone can justify the risks, not just to one's self but others as well, is beyond me.

Porn: I feel quite comfortable viewing it because I have never paid for it, thus can't be accused of contributing $$$ to the industry. But I can look at the naughty things all I want, unuhuhunuhuhuhn...

Sorry...
