Sorry to take out the rest of your post but I want to just answer this tiny little bit I think I understand ... why is it a choice we have a right to take away from anyone? If someone, an adult with, presumably, voting rights, and even inmates have those, then who are we or DB or anyone else to say they can't do that? Certain civlity rules make sense, such as turning overriding civilty censors (?) .. and I think most people would agree that's fine. And child pornography would best be left out, and violence, and explicit sex ... but we don't leave ANY of that stuff out of here, not really, because some of us,many of us, ALL of us have or had that stuff going on IRL at one time or another, it's just that we're not writing in order to TITILLATE anyone into thinking or doing or being a certain way, we're writing in order to help each other be more effective, happy citizens who bring positivity into the world, even just by making a sincere, heartfelt connection ...
blah blah blah. You get the picture, I've babbled enough .. who are we to judge, though, what's good for someone in pain?????
