You're missing the point soyze. Yes it is a tragedy when innocent people die, but nothing in life comes without cost. When people drive they risk crashing and therefore killing others, should we ban driving all together? You have to find a point of acceptable losses, and if the law enforcement would do their job, and responsible drinking was advocated, then there would be even less problems. You give drinking to 18 year olds all of a sudden and of course there is going to be abuse, they should have upheld the law for a longer time and dealt with problems accordingly. There are many deaths each year from DUIs of people of legal age, maybe we should outlaw drinking all together? While we're at it lets outlaw all social interaction as it could pose a risk to someone's life.

Do the exercise Jake, think not from your perspective, but as a protector of the people. Pretend you govern the people! Get into the mind frame for just a while, and then look at the law. Yes, some of it's restrictive, but it's there BECAUSE the costs are too high. Are there ridiculous laws? Absolutely, but the basic laws, and you can see them when you wipe away all the stupid ones, are there for a REASON. Someone decided that their daughter or son was too valuable, and they spoke up. They didn't do it to give you a hard time, but to SAVE people's lives. Why do you think it's a bad idea to give a gun to a convicted felon. Not all of them, but the majority? Why do you think it is necessary to register sex offenders? Not all of them, but the majority.
To understand, you will have to look beyond your personal wishes, and see the NEEDS of the people. |

Firsthand Account Case 6:
Hello all, I had sex several time as a child. I played with girls my age, and had sex with a few grown men. I'm now 31 years old, and feel ultra secure, both sexually, and as an upstanding adult male. Through life, I have found that permiscuity at any age runs in the family. My father was a bit of a pedo- he raped my half sister. My mother was a prude (it required me to learn COMPLETELY on my own...) Once my father was gone, when I was 5, I would seek out close relationships with anyone. I met a man through my babysitter. He had a sister my age, and his grandmother took care of me while my mother ran her own life. The man was about 12 years older, and had an insane sexual appetite. I am sure that he did his sister, but he kept that seperate between each child. I am a little sad about that, because I was "examining" her as well. He let me in on all of the secrets, and was the funnest guy ever. He showed me porn mags, and even let me smell an adult female's panties (dirty, of course). He let me be as open and fun as I ever could. This was freedom. Freedom to act how I wanted, without repercussions. I would ask a question, and he would answer it. His favorite thing was to slide his penis between my legs. I still remember the smell of the vaseline. All these years later, I remember those times. I must have been irresistable, because it seems like I attracted many, many adults. So many were simply affraid, and a child doesn't approach these situations like they really want to. My dream is that I have a child that can learn to be sexually strong, and charismatic like me. It really seems like a shame to me, our "free" America is actually opressive to the things that make children learn to be adults. I could never marry if I didn't know how the sex was first. My girlfriend (nine years my junior) loves to hear about my early escapades, and is working with me to enhance my (what used to be secret) sexual imagination. Thank you Eddie. |
