Unbelievable But Not Unexpected

Do you think this is true generally? How about a child? Is a willing child capable of giving informed consent? How about an adult with diminished mental capacity?
The part I've put in red is the essence of my argument for why people should not perform sexual acts with horses, and I think it's bizarre that I've had to put so much effort into explaining something that seems to me is common sense.

These are cases for the law of the land, and the ethics of these situations change with time. It wasn't that long ago (relatively speaking) that people could legally have sex with consenting children. And as for mentally handicapped people, that's a different debate, I personally think it wrong to deny a person with, say Down's Syndrome, the right to have sex if they wish, but it all depends on the situation.
That's because your argument is without essense, just because the horse is unaware of the consequences of its actions does not mean that the horse does not initiate and thus consent to performing its own actions.
If you stand in the middle of a field and drop your trousers and an animal comes along and mounts you it is the animal's choice to do so, you haven't done anything to coerce it. Ok from our perspective it would be a weird and disturbed thing to do, but that doesn't change the fact that animals mount strange things all the time - from other males to inanimate objects.
The only "wrong" thing about letting a horse mount you is the aesthetic limits we've generated for our own society.

Again, more things to expect following "gay" recognition laws.
San Fran's next step: Legalized prostitution?

Um...what does that have to do with homosexuality?

So what? Care to explain why the state should be concerned about what consenting adults do in private if they're not hurting anyone?

I'm beginning to really like you, cajun. There doesn't appear to be any limit to just how badly you can misinterpret, and then misrepresent any given news item.
Do you even have a clue just how badly you mangled these two issues, just to try to make a connection that doesn't exist?
Why not post a link to an article about the high rate of double parking in San Francisco, and tell us that it is a result of them allowing gay marriage?

I don't think I've ever seen oldcajun actually respond to any rebuttals. He just hit and runs with his glib quips that read like bad fortune cookies.
What does that have to do with homosexuality? And what's wrong with legalizing prostitution?

That's pretty good, Penguin.
You are quite right, Father Heathen. Sooner or later, the powers that be should require him to defend his stupidity, or ask him to leave. Most sites that I participate in do not allow that particular type of trolling.

Are you referring to the original post? If so, you should be aware that oldcajun is just posting inflammatory items, with the intent of trying to fan the flames of hatred against homosexuals.
The acts of bestiality and homosexuality have no common link.
Oldcajun knows this, but it does not serve his purpose to admit that.
Hopefully, you understand the situation.
Thanks! Always go with the Dead Milkmen FTW. They're like the Center Square of music.
