16. Putting aside the fact that the law is unconstitutional and beyond stupid,
Fri Jul 19, 2013, 12:49 PM
Jul 2013

why do these assholes fight so hard for laws that are almost impossible to enforce?

Assuming all parties to an act are consenting adults, how do you even go about looking for the scofflaws? Do you spy on the ladies who lunch and perhaps discuss their sex lives or the men at the gym comparing their dates? And in the case of a married couple, couldn't they just refuse to testify against each other?

Part of me just laughs, but I really am bemused by the stubbornness of these people. I just can't wrap my head around the psychology of people who find this shit important. Who gets to be the one to explain to Ken the percentage of VA residents (adults and minors) who should be doing time according to this law?

While I know many are advocating he be asked if he's ever had oral sex, and I can't imagine he has not, my followup is certainly "Did you enjoy it?" Maybe that's the key to understanding why these assholes care if others are enjoying themselves.
