Why does anyone care what I do in my bedroom?

[LynneSin]

I am a law abiding citizen of this country.
What I only involves another law abiding consenting adult.

Don't I have the right to make my own choices for my body?

Why is it their business?

[geardaddy]

1. Because they're control freaks and pevs.

[MineralMan]

1. They like to watch?

[Behind the Aegis]

3. Because we have a nation of "Gladys Kravitizes."

"Abner! Abner!" (Bewitched reference)

Seriously, look at the increase in "reality" TV shows. Everybody wants to know what everyone else is doing in order to "keep up with the Joneses" or "wag a finger at their sinful, dirty ways." It is pathetic!

[MrCoffee]

4. I need to know

How else am I going to know where to set up the lights and cameras?

[RKP5637]

5. Because they are authoritarian control freaks, and many of them do it

under the guise of religion. Religion is a great cloak for control freaks. I'm surprised they haven't introduced a bill to require cameras and monitoring of every bedroom.

[dogknob]

6. To paraphrase Lenny Bruce...

Because they can't come.

[stockholmer]

13. the Snivelling Shits....................... agree

[southernyankeebelle]

7. Funny, I just wrote my congressman who is a republican. I told him that I felt the republicans

were the ones who were doing the War on religion and on women. I told him as a catholic I didn't like it and that the republican party woke up a sleeping bear. Women will not stand by and lose their birth control. They will lose a lot of independent and even some republican women.

8. they think the govt should be small, but in you bedroom

it's just disgusting.

god's little army

[Nye Bevan]

9. God is in the mix (nt)

[no_hypocrisy]

10. They don't care. They're upset that you're having more fun in your bedroom than

they're having in theirs.

[HillWilliam]

11. Right!?! And more to the point

why do they care so much about to whom my heart leads me. You know what they say: lovin' don't last, cookin' do. What's left after years of commitment and dedication, but the love? Hot sex fades somewhat as you age (raise a family, nookie-time becomes tend to the kids time or do the grocery shopping time or cut the lawn time; always something else needs doing first). We're lucky if we get to SLEEP in our bedroom, let alone swing from the light fixtures any more. Yannow??

WTF difference does it make in THEIR lives who I'm loving and supporting in mine?

14. Have you seen this?

18. I, at least, missed that and thank you so much for posting it here! n/t

[HillWilliam]

34. Oh, I did! And thank you for reposting it!

I admit I got a bit choked up seeing her passion and pride in her daughter.

That vid is a bit of awesomeness.

[LadyHawkAZ]

12. Pick up a copy of "1984" n/t

[LynneSin]

16. I've read that and Animal Farm too

[A Simple Game]

44. Have you read "A Handmaiden's Tale"? Excellent read.

By the way, I know a guy, that knows a guy on the inside, that says they only care about the bedrooms of people that have a strong liking for cowbells.

[Uncle Joe]

15. It is their business, that's the problem, we're just "customers" or "consumers"

to be sold a product, candidate, down the river or all of the above.

Authoritarians by nature believe they should control everything about you and the right wing authoritarian quadrant on the political spectrum is what's being promoted by the corporate media as "centrist," "moderate" or "mainstream" nowadays.

The vast majority of the corporate media is not your friend, they believe in authoritarianism because corporations by nature are authoritarian.

Corporate supremacist loving authoritarians want to control everything about you, me and most everybody else along with "We the People's" government.

Thanks for the thread, LynneSin.

[MADem]

17. They don't want you to have more 'fun' than they are able to get up to, that's why.

It's bitter envy, pure and simple!

[ieoeja]

19. This post is worthless without pictures.

[dembotoz]

20. evangelize the world

make everyone just as god fearing as they are.

whatever the strip
whatever the cloth
whatever the book.

[L. Coyote]

21. They do not care what you do in your bedroom.

They care what you do on election day, and the bedroom issue influences what happens on election day. And we all know what happens on election day ...

All the little piggies determine who controls the trough full of your money

[Rex]

22. Some people exist only to control others.

And the only way they can do that is to control what The People can do socially. It feeds their huge insecurities with negative feedback(which they love). It makes them feel safe when they persecute someone else, even better if that person is powerless. It causes them to be distracted from their horrible personal lives. It moves us one step closer to living in a true police state, and that is the way the paymasters want it.

[liberalmuse]

23. Because Jeebus will punish us all...

by killing our crops and making our naughty parts shrivel up and drop off if you deviate from teh missionary secks.

[fifthoffive]

24. Because...

It's much more interesting than what's going on in theirs?

[Rex]

26. You know

I think THAT is it right there. It is the "if I cannot have icecream, no one can have icecream" syndrome that I just made up on the spot.

[Fuzz]

25. It's only their business if you film it and upload it to the internet.

[there but 4 fortune]

27. Then please don't tell me what you do in your bedroom.

I really DON'T want to know! And this goes for heteros, too! Just keep it to yourselves!

[Fuzz]

30. It's very generous of you to include 'heteros' too.

[there but 4 fortune]

31. You're welcome (I think).

Of course you are insinuating that I really am directing my remarks to the gay community and that I am really a homophobe but no, that's not it. Hopefully you can get over yourself!

Edit: I can't believe I wrote "YOUR" initially. I need to get off the Internets ASAP!

[Fuzz]

32. It's hard to be so equally offended. Good effort.

[Iggo]

38. But ya are, Blanche. ya are.

You're getting off the internets one website at a time.

Starting with this one.

[i own my story]

41. ????

[Iggo]

43. Oh, you're back!

Goodie!

[LynneSin]

36. Thank you for clarify that with us heteros. Was about to post a thread about my sexcades!

You know I agreed with you on the first part - honestly, I really don't want to hear other people's sex stories. But why did you feel you had to clarify 'oh that includes you heteros too'?

BTW, most GLBT couplese really don't want to share their bedroom antics with others.

[i own my story]

42. I included it so that I wasn't accused of homophobia. I just don't want to hear about who anyone

wants to do! And I dislike it being framed as what one does in the bedroom because it gives the impression that the gay community is more promiscuous than straights. Which I doubt is true for lesbians but could be possibly true for gay men because...you got two men in the picture!

[a la izquierda]

28. I don't know, but I am so flippin' tired of it.

I'm sick of the Republican party, of sick of their maniacal supporters, and I'm sick of the power they have in this country.

[Cleita]

29. Yes, I care all the time.

NOT! I'm thinking this birth control controversy is a set up by the conservatives to put BO on the defensive. It seems to me that Big PhRMA would be pissed about a big part of their market being made illegal. The fact that they are silent and know there isn't a serious threat there makes me think so.

[Redstate Bluegirl]

35. As it should be! Your body, your choice, your business (and no one else's)***

*** unless we're talking about a law abiding, consenting adult smoking in their bedroom, in which case, some corporations and government entities have decided that THAT is their business, and can fire you for doing so.

[JoePhilly]

37. If you just make some vidoes and post them online, we'll leave you alone.

We're just curious because part of your screen name is "Sin".

OHHHH Wait ... that's not what you meant ... never mind.

My bet is that the Religious right is upset that you might be having more fun then them.

So actually, if you made some videos and posted them online, they might learn something and leave you alone. Or, try to outlaw some of the things that they have no idea that you are doing.

Tough call.

[wandy]

39. It's all part of the republican 'make government smaller' thing.....

What do republicans have to offer. Basically Hate and Fear. Go ahead, call me on this.
So.....
If I know what you do in you're bedroom AND....
I can find enough people who disapprove of it...
And/Or I find enough people who are afraid of it, as in they might want to try it.
Then they will hate and fear you.
They will unite in my cause and I can spread Santorum all over the land.

Don't even bother to ask if a Moose; who doesn't give a rats a** about what other people do in their bedrooms; has had a bad day.
