As far as I know, Spitzer wasn't enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act or anything similar.Originally posted by Berzerker
Since when is society respectable? And if I was alive 150 years ago I would have been criticizing "law men" who went around enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Was he enforcing prostitution laws? Drug laws?Comment

The analogy that you are drawing is tenuous at best. If you want to equate drug users, drug pushers, and prostitutes (all chosen lifestyles) with slaves (not chosen lifestyle), well... Let's just say that I know what side of the law I'm on. And you aren't on it.

You attack buddists and it is ok; but mentioning someone is hypocritical considering his supposed jewish faith is suddenly so inappropriate. You need some water, and are simply out of control.Originally posted by Wezil
He lost me at the jew bit. Not the best Wiggie post I've seen.

Good Gawd, George Fox...
The papers quote Kristen and the woman who sent her on the job talking about a man believed to be Client 9, who might make requests of prostitutes “you might not think were safe.” But Kristen, according to the papers, was prepared: “I have a way of dealing with that,” she is quoted as having told the woman. “I’d be like, ‘Listen, dude, you really want the sex?’... You know what I mean.”I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Would you have mentioned Spitzer's faith if he was anything but jewish? Has he been forthcoming about his religion and the moral code he draws from it? Why was this a necessary bit of information in your rant?"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Its a good thing juries were there to jury nullify enforcement of bad laws back then.Originally posted by Berzerker

"I was just following orders" I agreed to follow doesn't impress me as a morally defensible argument.Comment

The same reason it is necessary to mention priests who rape boys are religious, and that everyone loves to mention how republicans can solicit oral sex in bathroom stalls. I don't get why you're so sensitive when I say he's a Jew hypocrite when everyone gets off ranting on catholic hypocrites. Youre being a hypocrite just like everyone elseOriginally posted by Wezil

Yeah, basically he did just because he wanted a hooker. Still, at least she's a woman and a consenting adult instead of a little boy or some random dude in a public restroom.Originally posted by DanS

DanSI'm not comparing the victims of society's "morality" and it dont matter if a lifestyle is chosen or not, freedom is freedom and slavery and prohibition are not. You say I should respect him for all the people he put in jail and I say he jailed many people who didn't deserve it.The analogy that you are drawing is tenuous at best.
