Sodomy laws defined sodomy. Otherwise, how would people know to enforce the laws?SextusMaximus said:
No, because Sodomy has a definition already. It's anal sex. And in Judaism, the crime of Sodom was not sex but inhospitality. But, from your own first link: From the earliest times in the United States, sodomy (variously defined) was prohibited, although some historians suggest that early sodomy laws were mainly used to address issues of non-consensual behavior, or public behavior. The earliest known United States law journal article dealing with sodomy was in 1905 in West Virginia. Attorney E.D. Leach argued that "perverted sexual natures" were related to crime. "Sodomy, rape, lust-murder, bodily injury, theft, robbery, torture of animals, injury to property and many other crimes may be committed under these conditions." 18th and 19th century judges often editorialized about the act of sodomy as they handed down their rulings. "That most detestable sin", the "horrid act", "the horrible crime", "that which is unfit to be named among Christians" characterized some of the language used by British and American jurists when punishing sodomites. Emphasis is usually on the notion that the act of anal penetration is so offensive "to God almighty" that the term Sodomy (literally, that which occurred in Sodom) is the only appropriate way of designating the activity. In other words, it was understood that when reference was made to "an unspeakable act" having occurred, it was clear that the act in question was none other than anal penetration. Some say, however, that the "Sin of Sodom" accurately referred not to anal penetration but rather to the agglomeration of ALL the unholy activities said to have occurred in Sodom and that it is thus inaccurate to imply a one-to-one relationship.Hateren47 said:
Ergo- Sodomy defined as male-male sex.
Also: Evolution of the term in other languages
In modern French, the word ?sodomie?, and in modern Spanish, the word ?sodomía?, is used exclusively for penetrative anal sex (where the penetration is performed with a penis or a substitute of similar shape such as a dildo, possibly a strap-on dildo, thus any gender can be on the giving or receiving end). The matching French verb is "sodomiser" (Spanish "sodomizar"). In modern German, the word ?Sodomie? has no connotation of anal or oral sex, and refers specifically to bestiality. (See Paragraph 175 StGB, version of June 28, 1935.) The same goes for the Norwegian word ?sodomi? and the Polish "sodomia".
All right, in the American version of english anno 1905, sodomy means sex between two men. Everywhere else also includes any "unnatural sex" like oral sex, zoophilia, paedophilia, necrophilia etc.LadyRhian said:
Ergo, concordantly, vis-a-vis you are full of it. Anal sex also already has a definition. Several in fact.
Swearing is a beautiful expression of basic human emotions and should not be censored because some people have deemed them to be bad word. A word can not be bad only the context in which a person uses it.
BTW what is the problem with consensual sodomy? Last I checked a BJ is considered sodomy and thats not all that taboo. Here is the actual definition for sodomy:
sodomy sod·om·y (sŏd'ə-mç)
n.
Anal copulation of one male with another.
Anal or oral copulation with a member of the opposite sex.
Copulation with an animal.
Ok that last one is a little weird, people don't copulate with your pets.

This is a very POV topic. From one perspective(religious maybe) these things are against their creed and therefore bad. From a utilitarian standpoint, these things aren't necessarily bad but unless controlled to some extent they can make enforcement of order... odd. From a postmodern standpoint, however, there's absolutely nothing wrong with fucking in the middle of a city park while screaming at a passing Jew to go blow a yak. Like I said, it's what you consider the natural order of the world that filters your perceptions.
You can tell I don't like postmodernism... well I can have my opinions, and you can feel free to hate my worldview too.

Basically - you should stop using the word.SextusMaximus said:
The meaning of it is not very specific, it means different things to different people and in different contexts (eg. legal, religious).
Just tell us what you really mean
Generally I'd suggest stop using the word except perhaps for humorous effect.
good point. Little Timmy doesn't need the image of a penis scaring him forever. But this begs the question of how did Timmy get to the channel in the first place. Where I live, these shows come on late at night(Past midnight). Why would any child be up that lateThe Blu Spy said:
i dont mind nudity or swearing at all, what makes me absolutely furious is when people say swearing is against god even though the damn words didnt exist back then, or saying god damn is saying his name in vain even though every religion has a different name for him and who even knows if its a him, god so many hypocrits
Swearing is considered a problem because it is usually associated with words one uses to offend, insult other people or just the situation on itself (and in a religious society, by that I mean insult god). Also, because it is a taboo, many people use it as a satisfaction release for doing something that is not appropiate, for being "rebels"... If the word stop being a swear or society stops paying attention to it, it looses its "charm".
Nudity is another social concept: The line between properly dressed or nude has changed back and forth in the history of fashion. Again, if society stops paying attention to it, it just stops being a problem.

I swear because of how easy it is. God damn english makers had to make the easiest words the worst to say.
As for sex, I really don't care, at some point we all have to learn about it.

I honestly see no problem with swearing, just as long as you don't overdo it.
I don't see any problem with nudity, either. I mean, as long as people aren't fucking on park benches, nudity in my eyes is perfectly acceptable.
And to all the guy's saying they don't want to see another guys junk, I ask you this: How is it different from seeing your own junk, except on a different person? Sure, you might be circumsized, and they aren't, but all it really is, is a lump of flesh that every guy has.
