    If it’s consensual between people of appropriate ages, then the government should have absolutely nothing to say or do.

      Weird how the party of freedom and the party of small government wants to take away so many freedoms and put so much government between you and everything else, huh?

        Yeah, it is funny that the people that came to this land for freedom ended up creating a government that restricts freedoms so much. Turns out the didn’t want to destroy the systems of control they ran from, they just wanted to be the ones in charge.

          I am very much under the impression that the freedom the original pilgrims sought was the freedom to persecute each other, yes. Like, they left England because they were being stopped from doing that. They even went to one of the Nordic countries first, and were welcomed, but they didn’t like it there because they thought the locals were too liberal or something.

          Many of the earliest immigrants to North America came because they were religious regressives that didn’t fit in with their countries of origin.

      What a waste of resources. These cops could have been looking for actual crimes instead of this bullshit. Wishful thinking, I know.
