So in a society where anything goes, why would consent matter Since you said there is nothing wrong with a society without values
If you're against gay people being parents, you're against gay people.Whatever you think is acceptable for straight people, you have to think is acceptable for gay people, or else you're a bigot. Simple as that.

Next to suffering, it's pretty much the only thing that matters in the world.

Simple as that.Unless there is direct evidence against itNo. Wrong. Especially if there's direct evidence against it. You can't help the way you're born, and you deserve every right that anyone else has when you're born. That includes having kids.Your argument is no different than looking at crime statistics and disdaining black people as a whole due to it. If you're discriminating against someone because of how they were born then, little statistics or not, you're a bigot. That's literally the definition of bigot.

So consent has to extend to even the most far reaching outcomes of your choice?
And what of consent made by completely uninformed people?I suppose it would be ok for two people to willingly feed each other rat poison if they consented
And so what if what I do harms society?No one is saying they don't consent to me doing what I want
There's nothing wrong at all with two people knowingly feeding each other rat poison. It's just suicide.Wait. Please don't tell me you're one of those retards who thinks suicide is morally wrong...

Quote from: Precious Tritium on March 30, 2016, 08:20:52 PMSo consent has to extend to even the most far reaching outcomes of your choice?Yes. If a third party's rights or autonomy would be affected by your choice in any way, you must have their consent.QuoteAnd what of consent made by completely uninformed people?I suppose it would be ok for two people to willingly feed each other rat poison if they consented Well, yeah. It's your responsibility not to be a dumbfuck and drink rat poison.If you were tricked into drinking rat poison BY A THIRD PARTY, then there you go--consent was violated.QuoteAnd so what if what I do harms society?No one is saying they don't consent to me doing what I wantBecause most of what you want to do doesn't directly affect them.You can only consent to something if it will have obvious or direct implications on you.
Pretty much everything you do will affect a third party in some shape or form

But I guess raising your kid alone on welfare is alright since you consented to sex
Two people having sex has zero effect on others, more so if others don't know about it (it's not like they need to know about it). Sorry, I left for about an hour and a half and came right in and this was the first thing I read.

Why would you base morality on something so convoluted?

Except there is no way to know how far every act extends
Quote from: Precious Tritium on March 30, 2016, 08:53:31 PMExcept there is no way to know how far every act extendsWhich is why, like I literally just said, you must act to the best of your ability. There is no other way.
Other relationships could be with animals, kids, and inanimate objects
For those arguing about the child being effected: Should women over 40 be denied the right to give birth? After 40 the risk of your children having Downs Syndrome skyrocket. I see no laws setting a maximum age for pregnancy. Incest isn't a sure way to birth defects. So... As long as everyone is adult and consenting, it's no business of mine if they are together
