this is not a political forum, and I didn't mean to offend however my title line said your "- values" are offensive "your" to refer specifiy to the OP's views as opposed to the majority of christians, and "- values" love in willingdon in quotation marks to question whether the OP holds actual values I stand by my comments about fundies pointing to the bible as a source of moral value, but clearly picking and choosing the line "sheesh I'm sooo glad I don't live in your nation" came out wrong I'd rewrite it if I could my intention was to say "I'm glad I live in a nation where religious affiliation, fundamental or otherwise, has virtually zero impact on the political landscape and the laws of the land and the sexual lives of our citizens" on the other hand first, I don't comment on your nation's politics "constantly" I've done so occasionaly, and okay sometimes it's been snarky the last time I did so, I made an observation and asked a question (without snark) ie, "do you think a Romney White House would have an impact on the ability of American kinksters to freely pursue their kinks?" ie, I tried to start a discussion maybe I phrased my question poorly if so, that's my fault as for "misinformed idiocy based on misconceptions he has no clue or idea of" Romney did say he's against marriage, period right? did says he's against abortion, period, even in the case of rape right? and another Republican did say women can't get pregnant from "legitimate" rape right? maybe I'm misinformed, but those statements are what are being reported to nations beyond your borders and, ultimately, I had a legitimate question that was never satisfactorily answered would a White House that feels that abortion is never acceptable, even in the case of rape, possibly be friendly to American citizens pursuing their kinks? aren't there some states in your nation where it's still illegal to own a vibrator? bottom line: the political environment is a perfectly valid topic for kinkfo where that environment might impact and possibly restrict individual citizen's pursuit of their sexual -
