I'm telling you to read this read that?  I told you to read one thing that is relevant to the topic at hand.  If you told me to read something I've read, I'd probably say "I've already read that" without getting pissy.

Judging by the amount of rape that happens in the world, I'd say enough people think it is ok that it is in our best interest to make laws regarding it.  I can't say whether or not they think its ok, because I am not inside their heads.  Our modern society is the result of a system of government and law that has been built for about 5000 years give or take 5000 years or so.  If we didn't have any laws, I'm not sure what the society would look like, but we have enough failed states to figure it would probably not be good.

Are you suggesting that there should be no system in place to safeguard anyone's rights or wellbeing?  Because once you argue that each government agent has the right to do whatever they please, then you are arguing for anarchy.  You're arguing that nobody has any sort of fundamental rights.  And that is view that seems incredibly dangerous.

Okay, I'll review my attitude and behave in a way that is more kind, for you and me. As a micro-society we will be more in harmony. But especially it would make the most sense that I not get pissy and I think you're right and it's right for me not to. XD So I'll try not to do it anymore.

It's a view that you really won't like if I understand your PoV. I don't really like the governments that rule us today. Sure there is security but there seems to be really less morality. Sex is increasing in media, violence all over the place in media. I mean really the only thing stopping some people is law nowadays. But it really shouldn't be that way!

That's my point. I shouldn't be behaving in a way because if I don't I will get punished. That's not authentic at all.

And I'm all about authenticity :0) I'm all about KEEPING it real! haha

You're talking about the media, not the government.

Do you think that there are certain rights that everyone should have?  If so, should we build institutions to protect them?
