Should adultery (specifically, someone that is married having sex with someone they're not married to) be illegal? I don't think it should be, but I asked one of my friends and he said he wouldn't be opposed to it being illegal, although he didn't know what the punishment should be. What are your thoughts?
I thought the goal was to have a free country.
There is no such thing as Libertarian left. You cannot get economic left without coersion.
No.

Because a lot of people on the right aren't actually conservative. They love bug government as long as it promotes their specific ideals that they approve of. I can name a good chunk of posters on here that would be for making gay marriage, premarital sex, etc… illegal. And make Christianity mandatory for education for all citizens. These people aren't conservative
Amen! Give Texas Repubs enough time and they will regulate everything and then spout off five minutes later about freedom. True conservatives on rolling over in their graves.
Do you think married couples have a right to each other's fidelity? Do children who are the product of that marriage have the right for their parents to remain faithful to each other?
On the flip side, do you have a right to be unfaithful to your spouse? Something you would have promised not to do when you got married in the first place.

Your friend is an idiot. How about happy endings massage or even worse-watching an X rated movie.
Your friend probably can't find his way home at the end of the day.
Free will, if I was married and I want to cheat on my wife I can. I would be a POS but it shouldn't be illegal

Human nature, people should be free to choose. Keep the government out of people's private affairs. Pun intended.
Having sex with someone other than your wife will get you kicked out of the US Military.
As much as people here like to bash the military these days, that's one value I'm behind.
Rarely. Seen it happen, reported, caught, and nothing happen too many times. My last deployment was basically just all the married NCO's f'ing each other. Hell they were cheating on the people they were cheating with.

The list of things we have the free will to do is pretty long. Do you think any of them should be illegal?
He's not an idiot, he's just really religious.

We have way different definitions of direct harm. Ironically, I'm pretty sure pissing in people's Cheerios is illegal.
Hurt feelings isn't harm.

Dude, you sound like one of the biggest scumbags on earth.
We will never legislate our way to morality. As our understanding of what is right or wrong continues to decline so will we continue down the path we are going.
And everyone ask what's going on and what's wrong and why is all the corruption and crime and immorality happening?
Pretty damn evident why.

Do you have any idea how much violence and crime and death is caused by actions resulting from infidelity each year? And you are saying that does not hurt anyone?

Those actual acts of violence are harm, not the infidelity itself.

At a bare minimum, you've broken the terms of your contract, and deprived your spouse and children of a healthy family dynamic.
You are usually a pretty reasonable and intelligent poster. Your way outa line here on that.
That's like saying the car causes road rage.

We've been pretty successful at legislating ourselves out of morality though.
Why? Because I think people should be able to make their own decisions. Nowhere did I approve of adultery, I simply don't think we should have draconian laws outlawing it.MarathonAg12 said:Bexar Ag said:

The issue is Bob that many no longer believe there is that " contract". It's part of the continuing Godlessness and decline in morality.
Well said sir.
Not everybody wants God in their lives, why is that so hard to understand
Should we then not have so called "draconian laws" outlawing murder or stealing? People should be able to make their own choices on those then right?
It's morally wrong. That's what makes us humans and separates us from animals.Bexar Ag said:

Sure I do. Think that might be the reason for our continuing problems? So what harm can come from having him in your life? It Damn sure ain't headin in the right direction as he becomes more and more out of our lives. So what is your fix and solution to all our immorality and corruption and lies? All the things that the God who you don't want in your life has solutions for .... written in those simple 10 Commandments you don't like.
How do you define direct harm? Is that limited to physical violence?
Based off whose morals?
There is nothing wrong with the Ten Commandments, the problem is people that feel the need to shove their beliefs in others faces. I have the same resentment for holier than thou Christian's as I do the hardcore lgbtq folks, not everybody cares. Leave us alone
But it's ok for you to shove your beliefs in other people's faces? I see.
And I'm anything but holier than thou, as you say it. I have done wrong and will continue to do wrong. I'm not better or less than you... because God made and loves both of us...But both of us can asked to be forgiven... and hopefully make our own choices to do what is morally right from that point on.

Or that video games causes school shootings. Or that any drinking causes domestic abuse. Plenty of people have affairs and then peacefully separate.
If you believe it is right to have sex with anyone other than your wife then you are disgusting

Or property.
