ORIGINAL: lockedaway Oh...since we are on the topic of rejecting moral absolutes...like cheating...i guess if any of you folks have children, they are fair game for us to have sexually, right? C'mon...cheating isn't wrong. That is what you are saying. Why would any us having sex with your elementary school aged child be wrong??? Oh...is it because it is YOUR ox that is then being gored? Your answer is that the child doesn't have the ability to consent to the conduct. The spouse that is being cheated on doesn't have the ability to consent to the conduct either because of the cheating spouse's duplicity. I kind of like living in a world were there are things that are conisdered to be universally wrong. You folks are arguing for a very dangerous world where the strongest, most violent and most cunning reign supreme and no one can be judged for their actions. Oh wow, now you are being absolutely absurd. There are absolutes, but not many (I said there were few absolutes in my first post, not no absolutes). Children, animals, rape, murder (although if things were very extreme, and the greatest good for the greatest number were served, then even these, one would hope would be pushed to the test). Rosemary's Baby comes to mind. Luckily, not a realistic situation. I'm not saying everyone should go cheat (which I assume you are smart enough to know), but I don't think it is fair for someone to supplant their needs and desires to their spouse because their spouse can't comprehend or wouldn't approve of (and if they have kids, win custody of the kids if it was revealed what their interests were) their desires. In a perfect world, their spouse would understand, would love them, and try either to do things with them or make things open for the one to try those things. But the world isn't perfect. I know, the world isn't fair. But it all boils down to your own argument. Point of veiw, baby, point of view.
