I've been waiting for the tag team to target me. LOL. I'm undecided if you and ProjectEuropa are just like minded and enjoy ganging up on others or if you're the same guy posting under 2 different names. Either way I was expecting to hear from you on this. Another thing I was expecting was that your reply would veer off into a pompass twist and not make a lot of sense in reference to what was said. I'll give you credit for not dissapointing me on either expectation. I would appreciate though that you refrain from trying to put words in my mouth (i.e., all that stuff about the law being right or wrong on crucifixion, etc.). I said "...common sense and good law enforcement". Now where in hell you got that "good" means completely without error I have no idea. When we have perfect people that think perfectly, we'll have perfect laws. But then we wouldn't need laws with perfect people running around now would we?

I still stand on my original thought that saying if a literal word doesn't exist in another culture then the concept and practice of it doesn't exist there either is at best silly. But if you want to go that way then I'd like to put in the first vote for removing words like "rape", "murder", "robbery", "drug overdose", "disease", etc. from my native language and in that way remove those practices from the culture I live in.

Sounds like you're saying that if I come upon you in an alley being forced by someone stronger than you to take a baseball bat up your ass that I should just back up and say well it's not against my morals so I'll just stand here and wish you luck with that. Now I tend to think most people would rather I use my common sense instead and say, "Hey that's just wrong period" and pull them off of you and maybe check to see if you're a willing participant or not. Key word being WILLING" since my "wrong period" was in reference to FORCING someone against their will. I assure you if you tell me you like it and it's not breaking any laws in my jurisdiction I'll let you get right back after it.

My apologies to the ladies for my crudeness in trying to get my thoughts across plainly enough. I guess I also did the nasty and went pretty far off topic as you put it here. Aw hell worse than that I got wordy so that's enough from me in this thread.
