Look at all the STD passed around today So that sexual act in turn can be bad for us all. Stick your hand in fire and you might get burned... THE END LOL

Flavor Wizards said "we want your soul"
E. Fujiwara said "keeps the blood calm allowing for docile behavior...otherwise people would be sex drugs and rock n roll all the time..."
S. Nikelle said "Because 'The Man' thinks if we were allowed to do what we want (have fun and party) then all of society would collapse. And I think people who subscribe to religions agree.I am an atheist, or rather a humanist, and strive to be the very best person I can be without the threat of eternal damnation or the promise of the pearly gates. Many people truly believe there is no morality without religion, probably the same people who don't read books. My 2 cents!"
X. Zelaya said "Many people truly believe there is no morality without religion, probably the same people who don't read books." Heheh well put. Maybe it's just that they only read ONE book over and over and don't give anything else a chance from fear of losing their religion"
V. Uhl said "don't get me started, jordan... lol. we'll have to go to coffee sometime to go over this one..."
K. So said "I would say the prime reason, along with control, in my humble O...... is over-adherence to outdated puritanical values.... and then there's the fear-mongering, which justifies a perceived 'umbrella' protection from a higher authority."
F. DiPietro said "I bet some of those people enjoy making those kind laws. We can only pity them really."
A. Schoening said "I don't know...what do you think?"
K. Spear said "because the man wants to bring y'all down! live in the forest and run naked!! wooooooo"
M. Hirsch said "1. BECAUSE THE FED'S AND THE CHURCH DOSE NOT WANT ANYONE TO ENJOY LIFE. 2. THEY ARE CONTROL FREAKS. 3. IF THE PEOPLE REALIZE LIFE IS GOOD WITHOUT THE FED’S AND THE CHURCH, THE PEOPLE WILL RISE UP AND OVER THROW.
DON’T GET ME STARTED."
SO WOW!
Those were all the answer's I got on this question of the day experiment.
As for my answer, I agree with a lot of your answers as to why these laws are in place. And I try instead to live by the laws that I find most true. For me, I don't want to do anything to cause harm to anyone, or to prevent anyone else from doing something they enjoy, that also does not cause harm to someone else. Outside of that, live life like you want. It is YOURS!
Much love to everyone for participating.
