[QUOTE="DerveCreaves"] You are comparing sports to punching g thug in front of his house down the street. You are commparing sports to two people stabbing eachother with knives consensuallly. you are supporting to people doing an action that will damage and could do permanent damage to inner areas of their body and other issues. How is there a comparison?pie-junior

You are staying put in the examples you feel comfortable approaching. The examples you've provided would be illegal, in most cases, for the detrimental values to public order, safety and wellbeing- embodied in a judicial criminal interpretation that would negate the existence of consent, or a statute that would deny the need for a lack of consent with thses offences, completely.

Slapping someoen across the face, hard, with his consent- would not be illegal (criminally or tort wise). acting a fight scene the includes physically hurting someone, playing sports or fighting competitively- are all prime examples of self risk taking that would afford defences to a harm perpetrator. The reason is that those activities are not considered ones that society should discourage. Anal sex is comparable to those examples, and not those you gave.

We encourage sports- because we consider the benefit a sports event offers to be in the positive spectrum, and the consent of the players and audience to be 'effective'. When two G thugs (jesus, stop using that) fight it out- they damage a vital public interest, in a completely externalized way. when gay people have sex- we can assume their consent is 'efficient', and the sexual gratification and joy they receive out of it to immeasurably outweigh the slight physical pains they may receive. meaning- there's no palpable reason why we should outlaw it.

Long-range ICBMs aren't difficult to shoot down. It's the short-range tactical nukes that would be a problem, simply because there's not enough time to respond.

ICBMs are ballistic, so once you know their trajectory, you can get targeting data.

I'll bet money there's more heterosexual people with STDs than homosexual people.
