common decency my ass

When you were talking about your ancestors, I believe it was attitudes about sex, I don’t think you want to include all your ancestors because many of them had attitudes about it that were much more open, and sometimes pervy to our eyes, so I think you only want to include the ancestors who believed the same way that you do.

You hear that argument often enough, that we should do things because that is the way our forefathers did it which I think is a stupid argument, because our forefathers didn’t know as much as we do, and really they were all over the place as far as the things they did, and it’s kind of like picking a phrase out of the good book and then saying, the bible sez. Which incidentally doesn’t look like the best place to go when defining modern day sin inasmuch as they were hunky dory with polygamy and slavery, but declared that eating ham was a bad, bad thing.

But it’s true that currently we talk a lot more openly about sex than we used to, and that may or may not be a bad thing. It’s probably good that kids know that sex can lead to babies, and that they know about venereal disease, it’s a little boring when you watch a tv show or movie where they think that all they have to do is make some sexual joke and it’s funny.

But then you say you don’t care that much about sin, you are more concerned with common sense and decency. Common decency I think is just another way of saying ISRW, which is not common at all, being different for every person, and as I have pointed out several times lately, counter to the Beaglesonian credo. Common sense is just what most people think, and as clever guys like us know, most people are usually wrong.

I would much rather my neighbor didn’t have a gun. You don’t have to be a guy who doesn’t drink, or doesn’t have a bad temper, or isn’t crazy, or isn’t going to come down with Alzheimer's, or get a brain tumor, or whatever, to own a gun, so you never know, and he could be just cleaning it or something sometime or somebody could steal it. My life is better if my next door neighbor doesn’t have a gun. If Beagles moved in next door, I would be better off if he left his guns behind.

I haven’t seen anything lately where blacks are trying to take away white people’s right to vote, or gay people are trying to get straight people fired, so I don’t know how they are planning on dominating us.
