But let's say Johnny Entitled goes out and has lots of unprotected sex, contracts syphilis, and cannot pay for his treatment. Who pays for it? Me? I didn't have a say in Johnny's high-risk behavior, but I am saddled with the bill. He's free to fuck his brains out and deal with the consequences on his own, but he has no right to charge me and in so doing whittle away my freedom.

This can be extended to anything. Alcohol, tobacco, fast food, fried food, overeating, sexual promiscuity.... The list goes on. In order to ensure that Johnny Entitled doesn't do things that could cost me, we would have to ban a wide variety of activists across all of society. And there go more freedoms.

When solving society's problems, the solutions should provide everybody with more freedom, not less. Anything else is a failure and not the American way.

I think I might have just had a small epiphany. I now know why moral conservatives / modern republicans, hate the other side.

Its this whole bullshit idea that sin/illness/laziness and fun thing. How they believe it all goes together. And the jealousy and/or fuck you, you had your fun, now deal with attitude of moral conservatives.

Normal sane people would, when hearing about someone getting syphilis, would think "Oh my god, how horrible"

But not good ole moral conservatives. Their first thought is how much fucking fun so and so must have had to get that syphilis. And they get both jealous, and angry at them for getting a handout. "HOW DARE HE ASK FOR HELP AFTER HAVING SO MUCH FUN."

God damn, the puritans are still ruining this country. It is so fucking ingrained in people that if someone fucks their own shit up, their first thought is that they must have been having fun. And "fuck them for having that fun"

Yes, that's it. I support drug legalization and prostitution and gay marriage because I want to push "conservative morality" on others. Damn it, you figured me out.
