Better than being full of hot air. [:)]

There is a clear legal standard here, namely, "danger to oneself or others" - it may mean little to you lying alone in your bed at night with a jar of Vaseline in your D&D fantasy world, but it means a great deal to people fighting in court at this moment because they sell floggers or to the women I've talked to who've been put in the hospital with broken bones, ruptured spleens, bruised livers, punctured lungs and broken jaws because some "dom" thinks BDSM is a license to take out all of his suppressed hatred of his mother on some woman looking for a little kinky release.
You can keep dressing up an appeal to emotion in prettier clothes and it won't change what it is. That you think your crusade to save the world's submissives from bad D-types and their own stupidity (or maybe just plain mistakes life comes with) somehow makes a real argument for deciding what people can or cannot do consensually with their own bodies is more the matter of fantasy books than any of the RPG literature on my coffee table.
Yes, they're there. Go ahead, make another geek joke. It flatters your arguments so well. [:)]

It sets a precedent - I doubt any of this will make one shit of difference to DP if she's intent on committing suicide by dom - it might make a difference to rest of the women in here that have not abrogated their right to make choices in their lives.
It might make a difference to all the mentally incapacitated women who are so frail in their self-awareness that you must prance onto the battlefield of improper consent and stomp out the evildoers!
But, you see...precedent is important. One misguided fellow like you being permitted to wield your morals like a universal scythe reaping 'acceptable consensual action' is the fertile soil from which censorship, oppression and bigotry are born. I'd much rather not set that precedent.
But, hey....apples and oranges.
quote:
ORIGINAL: Amaros
That's why the law is the way it is, because you take away the rights of one, and all rights are threatened. It isn't perfect, but that's how it works.
You realize you are arguing for the removal of rights, correct? You are arguing for someone's innate freedom to consent to be judged by strangers with moral high horses.

ORIGINAL: Amaros
People like this are the reason those states define all kink as abusem, and that's another good reason to call bullshit in my book- if you don't know shere to draw the line, then the law will draw it for you - I prefer to draw my own.
I'm not sure what this means but it sounds awfully "regnegade"-ish. you draw your line wherever you please and keep it out of the sandboxes of anyone else who hasn't chosen to be involved with you.
quote:
ORIGINAL: Amaros
You might think this is bullshit, but there it is - I know it's a shocker, but nobody is very likely to ask the opinion of the great Nihilus Zero.
Yet I am the Sex God du Jour, after all. Deities normally get a bit more adulation.

ORIGINAL: Amaros
You want another example of how the law applies in this instance?
I'm sure you're going to give it to me.

Subjects which are unacceptable regardless of circumstance include, but are not limited to - minors engaged in sexual activities, bestiality, incest, necrophilia, snuff and criminal activities. Any other questions of acceptability will be determined based on the content of the given essay.
Keep the discussions civil and mature, and do not insult the kinks, preferences, lifestyles, etc. of others.
Depending on the jurisdiction, this entire site is discussing criminal activities! [:D]
quote:
ORIGINAL: Amaros
I have a "preference" about not putting women in the hospital - which I happen to think is a little beyond a "kink".
As do I. The difference is I don't think I have the magical power to tell that woman what she can and cannot do with her own body.
quote:
ORIGINAL: Amaros
You'll understand when you're older.
If the mods want to smite me for that then so be it.
People only say that sort of thing when they know they're resorting to flaccid prods for lack of better substance.
