Sexual morality

@Aldeth:
RE:Fiance:
Well, she's working on a counseling master's degree, which means she can get a job in any city, town, or county in America, probably, and she wants to stay at home to raise our kids (when we have them) so that really helps. We met out senior year of HS. Additionally, the only thing keeping us from getting married right now is the lack of a job and financial independance. That's the next stage in my life. Also, we aren't technically engaged yet, I don't think either of us feel comfortable with an indefinite engagement period, so she isn't actually my fiance.

Oh, I never said it was the only way to get success, or that it guaranteed success. Nothing guarantees success except a strong and driving commitment to the other person, and even then I'm not sure I'd say 'guarantee'. I do feel the 'by the book' method leads to the best results in general, however.

@Wordplay:

What I said was far from nonsense. What I said was essentially 'don't assume you know everything that could possibly be a reason for rule X'. In other words, lack of evidence (for a reason for rule X) is not evidence of a lack (of a reason for rule X). Did that make any more sense to you? This is a basic rule of logical analysis.

 

Okay, I understood you, but still a regular street-guy would say you are a raving lunatic.

 

I hope that we have a better caliber of intelect than that here.

 

Unfortunately, it's the regular street-guys who make the decisions with their votes and peer-pressure. If you can't convince them, it's just fancy wordplay no one understands. Isn't that what morality is, in the end? Peer-pressure to follow the norm?
