"Some states' sodomy laws specifically target gay relations, but Michigan's is among those that make oral and anal sex crimes illegal regardless of whether they're same-sex or different-sex. Michigan is also one of several states with a sodomy ban that's intertwined with a prohibition on bestiality – effectively equating the two. The law makes it a felony for anyone to commit "the abominable and detestable crime against nature with mankind or with any animal." If the person is already a sex offender, violations are punishable by life in prison."Since we have turned the focus of attention away from the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, here is a special diversion for you ... unabridged, uncensored insect pornography. This pair of lurid lubbers making love is an example of beastiality at its best.
Dirty pictures versus dirty water is the latest iteration of an old GOP tactic: Change the the subject and turn the focus of attention. Waste time on utterly stupid legislation to distract you from the REALLY BIG ISSUE. Like criminalizing insect pornography so we don’t have to think about poisoned children in a dying city. Nothing like a water crisis to sneak a peek into your bedroom and do something kinky with handcuffs!
Here is a rhetorical question: Which of the two is more obscene!

If I'm not mistaken, and I don't think I am, any photographic representation of sex between animals is illegal in Florida unless it's for the purpose of "animal husbandry" You'd better be a farmer or an exterminator if you looked at those grasshoppers, buddy, and you'd damn well not enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that one would have to prove something is an abominable and detestable crime against nature before punishing someone for it. The definition of a crime against nature is totally circular anyway and of course the authority of said "nature" cannot be determined as nature cannot be interviewed. I'd almost like to be a lawyer defending someone for that in court, but 'almost' is the key word here. I'd rather be a prosecutor putting a Michigan politician in jail for life for the private consensual behavior of a married couple.
But of course my distraction this morning was seeing Donald Trump tell George Stephanopoulis he would single-handedly change the military code to authorize torture. Frankly, that we as a nation tolerate such ambitions, that our news services tolerate it without comment -- hell that we don't drag such world class criminals in chins behind pickup trucks until they're dead is a national embarrassment. Fuch Michigan,l Fuck Trump, and if we put up with this crap, if all we do is praise it with faint damnation, then fuck America.
Phew! May I assume the term 'animal husband' is my "get out of jail free" card?
DeleteAll husbands are animals. Ask any woman these days. . .
Delete"All husbands are animals. Ask any woman ..."
DeleteNow that you hit the nail on the proverbial head (no pun intended), here is the message from Michigan lawmakers to all women: "Slam, bam, we don't give a damn ... about your children or your filthy pleasure!"
It seems pointless to highlight the complete and total idiocy of idiots because, well, they're idiots and certainly idiots tend not to recognize their own idiocy.
ReplyDeleteAs for Trump, well, if America has a soul it will Dump Trump and hopefully into the Manhattan sewer system.
That's frightening! I can see him thriving and reproducing in the sewers like those alligators they used to talk about. Imagine hordes of Trumpzillas stomping all over New York.
DeleteLes Egout du Cruz -- I'm hard pressed to decide which is the most toxic among the retro metro Republicans.
DeleteFrankly Cruz leaves the worst aftertaste but Rubio and Trump are certainly not far behind. Just my personal opinion.
DeleteLOL
DeleteRN, I am not sure you really want to use the term "aftertaste" given the context of this post.
The rhetoric and agenda of the three is so f'ing bad it give me a bad taste listening to them.
DeleteLeave it to you Jerry. :)
Hey, a dirty mind is a constant joy. And don't forget, there is a fine line between good taste and sodomy.
DeleteWith a law that "make[s] oral and anal sex crimes illegal regardless of whether they're same-sex or different-sex", the poor Michigan legislators are going to see a large drop in campaign donations.
ReplyDeleteAn appropriately inappropriate postscript added late this afternoon.
DeleteSo what was the crime of Sodom, I ask you my brethren?
DeleteEzekiel 16: 49-50
“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”
How many Bible Babblers ever bother to look up what they're talking about. Instead they get their nasty attitudes from the nasty bastard child molesters who put on strange clothes and tell us we're the nasty and dirty ones.
So it seems that Sodomy is all about being well fed and lazy and not giving to the poor. Sounds a bit like a Michigan politician, doesn't it? Sounds pretty damned Republican, doesn't it?
Someone wise once said that because there is no God, it behooves us to act in his place, so I suggest that it would be a holy act to find a Michigan Republican politician and shove a Bible up his ass. A great big hard cover edition with a sandpaper cover. . .
I believe the goal of Michigan lawmakers is to make their asses so BIG, no Bible bound in sandpaper can even scratch them.
DeleteAh, but are they beyond the clutching tentacles of Cthulhu?
DeleteEven when giant assholes are torn asunder, you are still left with semi-colons. Ohh, noze! The Great and Mighty Cthulhu has a plan. Far beyond the stench and wretch of mere Bible thumpers and far more diabolical ...
DeleteAnd a horny octopus is part of his plan, as everyone from Hokusai to Toyokuni knows, but in the Cthulhu Book of Revelation, we're warned against that coming scourge of religious assholes: PROCTOPUS!
DeleteYeah. What exactly is a "crime against nature?"
ReplyDeleteHere's one definition:
The crime against nature or unnatural act has been a legal term in English-speaking states for forms of sexual behavior not considered natural and seen as punishable offenses. Sexual practices that have historically been considered to be "crimes against nature" include anal sex and bestiality.
I've always maintained that there's no such thing as an unnatural sexual act, only an uncomfortable one.
Aren't we humans part of "nature" as are our non-human friends?
I would, however, say beastiality is a crime against nature since, as far as we know, our non-human friends can't give consent to sexual congress with their human friends -- so far. Animal behaviorists are communicating via hand signals with great apes, and then there are those "horse whisperers" - whispering Gawd knows what in those innocent horsey ears...
Anal and oral sex can't be unnatural, since consenting "natural" beings all over the planet engage in those acts.
Now if an alien from a exoplanet were to proposition one of us humans, then we'd have a horny dilemma. If an alien were to proposition a non-human and a human at the same time, we'd have a horny trilemma, which is frightening to imagine. So I'll stop right here.
We're dealing with a group of people for whom "nature" is god's intention and therefore anything that god didn't intend to happen is either unnatural or "against" nature. In practice god's intentions are all and always drafted by politicians and attributable to human sources. Without writing a volume about it, a crime against god and a crime against nature are the same thing and since god is man's imagination there's no basis for making secular laws and pretending they come from a non-existent source.
ReplyDeleteEverything that happens is part of nature since nature is a term for what is. Morals are human inventions. Nature has nothing of the sort. Morals to be worth having must originate in compassion or some human concept of justice which includes it, so calling something immoral that is against or not based upon compassion, or human values if you prefer, has nothing to do with morals,l just the will to power by the cruel, mean, and inhuman -- Churchmen, that is and their henchmen the Republicans.
Some of these whitheads talk about "natural law" which is disguised ecclesiastical law. Nature, once again, being just "what is" natural law is a way of explaining what is, not condemning or lauding it. In short if natural law can be broken, it is not natural law.
Play nice kids -- what else do we need to know?
Is it time yet for an evening cocktails, or if you prefer nectar of the Gods, cause after digesting all this high minded philosophizing I have a powerful thirst!
ReplyDeleteBUURRRRP!
DeleteHey, how can ya be high minded if yer not high?
Deletehmmmmm....so, even masturbation with a consenting partner? I think Mitchigon legislators are a little anal retentive. hey, and what about Popeye cartoons? He's always saying, "Well,blow me down."
