I support adults living however they want to live. They’re grown, have had opportunity to learn, and are personally accountable for their choices.
Kids are not.
Discussion
Food for thought and gentle pushback.
If it is wrong for children it is also wrong for adults.
If you believe in personal freedom, then you believe that adults get to make their own choices for the reasons I have explained here. The reason it’s wrong for children is because they have not had the opportunity to learn, and they are not accountable for their own decisions.
Yes correct with one caveat, no one has the right to do wrong.
Yup.
I think Thomas Jefferson got it right here:
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.
I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will."
- Thomas Jefferson
Maybe it would be more to say "legitimate Rights of others"?
Redundant
Right. And equal rights makes it clear what it means. If we said 'legitimate rights' then we are applying a perspective of law which he understood could be defined by tyrants.
Yes true but it doesn't address the central problem which is, just because everyone has the equal "right" to do something doesn't make it morally correct.
It’s my belief that no one gets to decide what is “right” for someone else. Cause no harm, take no shit. If the only victim is you, there’s no victim. That’s freedom.
What an adult does to themselves is a victimless crime, because to victimize one’s self, is a choice and not a criminal act.
I like this not. Good shit #[1]
I totally agree.
