We can see evidence of homosexuality in the animal kingdom, but we see no evidence of bears fucking rabbits. This suggests that the genetic factors which lead to beastiality are incredibly rare in humans, too. And if homosexuality was banned these people simply would not have sex, so it does not lead to extinction, and besides, perhaps it's a good thing that the world population doesn't grow any larger than it already is. Secondly, contraception is fallible, and the consequences of incestually produced offspring would be horrible.Riqtay said:"That is true, but this is not a bad thing. It is because society advances. You could apply your argument to the 1800's in America; people would never have abolished slavery".
Why did people back then adopt the practice of slavery? It is simply because they didn't follow the religious teachings of their respective religions (every religion promotes peace amongst people). So therefore even though the major religions were established thousands of years earlier, people in America thought that it the practice of slave trade was moral. Think about it, and compare this to your argument concerning relative morality.
"Whatever the reason I don't really see an 'epidemic of bestiality' eventuating anytime soon!"
No one saw a epidemic of homosexuality 100 years ago but it is happening now. you say that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, in spite the fact the the statistics for the amount of diseases associated with the practice speak for themselves. Lets not forget that homosexuality actually is against the human species reproducing, rather it moves it towards extinction.
You also say that incest is wrong as it creates abnormal babies etc. Well can't people use contraception? This goes against your argument supporting fornication. You assume that people won't use contraception when they practice incest, yet you assume that everyone uses contraception when practicing fornication.
"I think you'd have to be really insane or something to want to, but I don't think it'd be "wrong" in the true sense of the word".
Why would you think it would be insane for someone to practice beastality, yet there is nothing wrong with it? It sounds abit paradoxial to me. In the back of your mind you know that it goes against the nobility of humans yet because there doesn't APPEAR to be anything physically wrong with beastality, you arn't against the practice.
Animals quite often fuck different species, or at least attempt to fuck... i can find you a gazillion videos on the interwebz.We can see evidence of homosexuality in the animal kingdom, but we see no evidence of bears fucking rabbits.
[quote="Rape: power, anger, and sexuality." Groth et al]Accounts from both offenders and victims of what occurs during a rape suggest that issues of power, anger, and sexuality are important in understanding the rapist's behavior. All three issues seem to operate in every rape, but the proportion varies and one issue seems to dominate in each instance. The authors ranked accounts from 133 offenders and 92 victims for the dominant issue and found that the offenses could be categorized as power rape (sexuality used primarily to express power) or anger rape (use of sexuality to express anger). There were no rapes in which sex was the dominant issue; sexuality was always in the service of other, nonsexual needs.Not-That-Bright said:Really? I doubt that.

Because you eating broccolli does not harm me, nor does you piercing your genitals.Sonic said:Personally I find beastiality disgusting, but I also find broccolli and genital piercings disgusting, and it would be absurd to ban those.
why absurd???? not possible but why absurd??
Yea but come on by that determination we can say that S&M is more about power than sex.withoutaface said:10 characters
How many of those came about when the animals had access to others of their own species?Not-That-Bright said:Animals quite often fuck different species, or at least attempt to fuck... i can find you a gazillion videos on the interwebz.
ROTFLMAO!!! dude, you just made my day!! *wipes laughter tears*withoutaface said:We can see evidence of homosexuality in the animal kingdom, but we see no evidence of bears fucking rabbits.
Find me something where an animal has been in regular contact with others of its own species (ie in a pack, flock, herd or whatever in the wild), and you'll have something similar to the circumstances leading to human beastiality.veterandoggy said:ROTFLMAO!!! dude, you just made my day!! *wipes laughter tears*
ahh, i think there should be video footage somewhere on the world wide web... but im not going to search for it.

or wait till a male animal is in prime humping mode, then keep him starved of a female for a while and let him go on a different type of animal.withoutaface said:Find me something where an animal has been in regular contact with others of its own species (ie in a pack, flock, herd or whatever in the wild), and you'll have something similar to the circumstances leading to human beastiality.
That's not beastiality though. The bird is not attracted to the chair.Sonic said:im not too sure about this, but ive heard ages ago of a dog humping someone on radio. the caller got stuck somewhere, and the dog came behind her and started humping her.
yeah it happens all the time my friends bird humps all the chairs in the room its good for a laugh..... oh and also withoutaface he has a mate in the cage as well

Your point was that changing values over time is bad, and that the original religious values should be kept. Assuming that the religious values were good values, then that would be fine. But firstly, those values are not the result of some mystical God telling us them, they are the result of common sense. Secondly, there are religious values that are clearly out of date, morally bad and inappropriate in our time (for example, views against gay people).Riqtay said:Why did people back then adopt the practice of slavery?

The two concepts are completely different; humans are not attracted to animals.Riqtay said:No one saw a epidemic of homosexuality 100 years ago but it is happening now.MoonlightSonata said:Whatever the reason I don't really see an 'epidemic of bestiality' eventuating anytime soon!
Such diseases can be prevented if proper precautions are taken.Riqtay said:you say that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, in spite the fact the the statistics for the amount of diseases associated with the practice speak for themselves.
1. You imply that homosexuality is not natural. This is incorrect as homosexuality has been and is a real phenomenon in the animal world.Riqtay said:Lets not forget that homosexuality actually is against the human species reproducing, rather it moves it towards extinction.
It depends on what you mean by incest. If you mean reproducing children, then that is extremely detrimental because of abnormalities. But if you mean just sleeping together then (while I personally feel unsettled by the idea) I do not see anything morally wrong from such behaviour. If you could show me that it had some bad consequences then I might change my mind.Riqtay said:You also say that incest is wrong as it creates abnormal babies etc. Well can't people use contraception?
No, see the clarification by what is meant by "incest" in my comment immediately above. There is no inconsistency.Riqtay said:This goes against your argument supporting fornication. You assume that people won't use contraception when they practice incest, yet you assume that everyone uses contraception when practicing fornication.
No, there is nothing inconsistent in my position, because "insane" and "morally wrong" are two different things.Riqtay said:Why would you think it would be insane for someone to practice beastality, yet there is nothing wrong with it? It sounds abit paradoxial to me.MoonlightSonata said:I think you'd have to be really insane or something to want to, but I don't think it'd be "wrong" in the true sense of the word.
No, for the reasons that I have given in the preceding comment. I do not believe that it is morally wrong, unless there are bad consequences. Just because I feel personally repulsed by the idea does not mean that it is wrong.Riqtay said:In the back of your mind you know that it goes against the nobility of humans yet because there doesn't APPEAR to be anything physically wrong with beastality, you arn't against the practice.
I can't believe i didn't spot this.... the EPIDEMIC of Homosexuality? ROFL!No one saw a epidemic of homosexuality 100 years ago but it is happening now.
