Gotta have DEM LAWS to GOVERN YUR MORULS

One of the most fucking asinine things that has been around since forever is what I call moralistic law.  These are the laws which are conceptualized and approved and upheld for the sole purpose of governing a societies moral behavior.

The problem with this is mostly the measuring stick in which we use to determine what is moral. What is right? What is wrong?  There are people out there who REALLY DO think if you don't have "God in your heart" you can't possibly be a moral person.  This of course is one of the most ignorant and detrimental ideas to have ever been thought.

First example would be gay marriage.  Why is it illegal for people of the same sex to marry?  Because people perceive it as being immoral.  Does it have ANY logical basis or benefit to our society or government? Not even a little.  Opening up marriage rights will cause a huge flow of money being provided to our state governments which will in turn help jump start our economy and get money back into some of our more important social institutions, like schools.

Prohibition is another great example.  Everyone thinks of the 1920's alcohal prohibiton but it's happening RIGHT NOW, today, everywhere.  Most people don't realize that pot farming was one of the cornerstones to this country, then eventually the feds wanted to tax it and soon the taxation basically caused it to be illegal till they finally made it official.  It wasn't till the early 1900s we started to get all moral about pot and all these exaggerations started circulating about how bad it is.
Pot is only illegal because of people's perceptions on morality.  They want to SAY it's because of health but if that were true then why wouldn't they make alcohol illegal or fatty foods or smoking or CARS. (Mental note: I suppose people ARE trying to make all that illegal lol...)

Third example is abortion.  There was a time when abortion was illegal but people kept doing it.  However they were getting it done with back-ally doctors and in their own homes with dangerous (much of the time FATAL) home-kits.  Women were getting sick and dying because there was no regulation or enforcement of standards.  We made it legal so that these citizens could be protected and maintain health.  Now we're making it illegal again... guess whats going to happen.
Sick women... dying sisters... a continuation of over-crowding in cities and increase in food costs to make up for the larger population.
You want to live in that world? I sure as hell don't.

Look, you can have whatever moral opinions you damn well want.  Morally, I'm against abortion.  Legally I'm 100% pro because I care enough about those women who feel they have no other choice to say they need a facility that is clean and has certified REAL doctors to perform the task.
In other words, my morals should in NO FUCKING WAY affect the choice of someone else who doesn't share my opinion.

The real issue I find is basing all these laws off some outdated religiously based morality forces people who don't share those opinions to live by them; however if we based our lawmaking off a far more logical perspective and got RID of these fucking archaic laws then those moralistic types can still have their damn morals but at least the people who don't agree with them can make their own choice and live their own lives as they feel is right.

So c'mon guys.  Lets legalize pot, abortion, ALL forms of marriage, prostitution! Lets lift limitations and free ourselves from the neo-christian stuck up tight ass perspective!
They can be as blind and shut-off from reality as they want... so long as they don't force the blindfold over my own damn eyes.

Let's talk about sex baby

I am SO FUCKING PISSED at everyone waving their sexuality around like it was some kind of god damn golden ticket.
What I mean is people seem to think being a virgin is something to be proud of or being a non-virgin is something to be proud of or being gay or being straight, bi, transgendered, whateverthefuckoxesual... I'm really getting sick of this shit.

You are what you are and you can be proud of yourself without using what you are as a means of making others feel bad.

I'm not a virgin but I certainly don't go around saying "Oh MY GOD all you non-virgins are such losers!! GO GET LAID YOU FUCKIN PRUDES" but even if I WAS a virgin I also wouldn't be marching about with a holier-than-thou attitude, parading in my finest white garments saying "this is my choice and I'm damn proud to be a virgin!"

I mean really, why are you so proud of being a virgin?  Why are you so proud of not being a virgin??  If you're gay then that's just a state of self... just... it's really no big deal.
Just about nothing involving your sexuality is a big deal in fact.

I like fat people... whats the big deal? NOTHING.  I'm bisexual... what's the big deal? NOTHING. I haven't been a virgin since I was 17... whats the big deal? NO-FUCKING-THING.  I'm just going to do what I do and not down others for what they do enjoy unless it's something legitimately harmful.

The only reason why anyone would want to reblog one of those stupid "I'm proud to be a virgin/gay/straight/non-virgin/bisexual..." posts is to feel like they aren't alone; that they belong to some larger group who understands their feelings.

I think this is a great thing to feel connected to other people and it SHOULD be sought out but when you start connecting to these kindred-hearts by riddiculing others who are just trying to do the same thing then you have crossed a fucking line.

Hey virgins don't feel bad, EVER, for being a virgin... but please don't look down on others who've had sex just to feel better about yourselves.

Be proud of things you've done and be proud of being the best person you can be, not because of your sexuality.
