| Message | It'd be nice if people were allowed to make decisions for themselves for a change but I can understand why some parties may want to keep the people down: to prevent them from waking up and seeing the world as it is. |
| Date | 23:31:11, November 29, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Sexual Freedom Act V |
| Message | This law would only permit some to make decisions for themselves. People who chose to turn corners without finding people fornicating against the next lamppost would have that choice removed from them, and we consider that unacceptable. |

| Message | You still retain the ability to disapprove. You still retain the ability to ask the couple in question to stop or ask them what's so arousing about the presence of your family. You still retain the ability to sort social problems out with your fellow citizens and without government intervention. Whether you want to or not is a series of three decisions you can make. I think that many of the parties here underestimate the power of social stigma. If society as a whole does not approve of public sex, then people are far less likely to engage in it than if the public does approve of it. Given the near impossible enforcement of such a law (and the fact that getting caught out may only make some people more determined and/or aroused), the legality of such a matter is irrelevant. So if you dont like it, rather than curtailing people's choices, look down your nose at them. Its far more effective. |
