Modern Sexual Taboos and Their Morality

Questioning the ethics of many sexual taboos, such as prostitution, homosexuality, and others. What makes a radical thinker who they are? Or, what makes a revolutionary idea so revolutionary? And, as my article will question, how far can a radical thinker go?

Lance Poor fellow. What is meant by "design" is actually "function". A chair is for sitting. As long as that chair remains upright and capable of supporting the posterior, the chair is good. Should, however, the chair be used as a table, it is no longer a chair. It may look like a chair, feel like a chair, and most people would say it is a chair, but it's function has changed, giving it a new identity. For example, the crate in your basement is a table when used as a table, a stool when used as a stool, or a chair if used as a chair. However, the function of the crate is to carry things. Since it is no longer used this way, either it's identity has changed, or it poorly performs its function. Also, to say that we should do anything that makes us happier is, as you would say, an irrelevent, foolish claim. If having sex with a nine year old felt "good", does that give us the justification to have sex with all nine year olds? There is more to philosophy than what feels good. On a final note, I've read this far into your presentation and am impressed with your confidence in your beliefs. Whether or not you could support these ideas with rational thinking that couldn't be foiled by a high schooler is not the point -- keep up with the free love thing, but keep your herpie-ghonna-syphl-aids to yourself, hippie.
