5. Agree, regardless of how their spouse feels about the subject.

wow.

I really hope he means that as "by law", lol.

[Green Line]

Agree with 1, disagree with the rest.

[Kingpoleon]

Wow.... 1, 2, and 3 have fewer Disagrees than 4 and 6. Bad morals, Atlas.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Now I'm just waiting for the "you can't rape your wife" comments to come from you guys.

"Fun" fact: It was permissible to rape your wive in Germany and Switzerland till 1997.

[YE]

Agree on 1-3 and 6. Disagree on 4 and 5. Moving rightward in 7 in regards to late term abortions but otherwise agree.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Wow.... 1, 2, and 3 have fewer Disagrees than 4 and 6. Bad morals, Atlas.

This level of lofty judgement and utter confidence that your traditional morals are better than everyone else's "bad morals" won't actually convince anyone.

[afleitch]

I'm happy with all but 4. I really don't care about bedroom habits.

However, 4 has to do with children. Some children are better off not suffering in a loveless marriage.

lol wut

I believe that you are not harming your spouse (or anyone for that matter) if you have extra-marital sex with someone other than your spouse. So, of course, it is acceptable.

Yeah, what they don't know won't hurt them, right?

Some couples are open to extra-marital sex. It's entirely up to them.

Actually, I believe it is immoral to keep extra-marital affairs secret from ones spouse, but not immoral to have an extra-marital affair. If this offends someone, then it says more about the person who was offended by it, than it does about the people who participated in the affair.

What does it say about them?

That they think about sex and marriage in a very regressive and traditionalist manner, and they believe that they have a right to control their spouse as if their spouse was property and not another person.

So like, if you can just go have sex with whoever you want, what is even the point of getting married?

I mean, I'm just a little bit confused with this view. So let's take a hypothetical marriage between a man and a woman. The guy goes out, sleeps with a co-worker, goes home, tells the wife, the wife gets very upset. Is the wife being unreasonable here? From what you've said, you don't think what the man did was immoral, since he told her.

Or are you talking about a situation where both people agree that they can sleep with other people, so long as they are told about it (and presumably asked beforehand, which I think is common in open relationships). If this is what you mean, then I agree with you. I would never agree to an open relationship myself, but I have no issue with other people doing it so long as it works for them.

But if you're saying that in a regular marriage, if someone has an affair and tells the other about it, that it's unreasonable to get upset with that person because traditionalist / etc, then that is patently absurd.

either parent in that case should have the option to unilaterally put the children up for 3rd party adoption in the process.

I guess we're ignoring this then?

Wow, I missed that. WTF? So, if your spouse doesn't like you they should be able to just put your kid up for adoption?

[Idaho Conservative]

I just took the opportunity to go back through some of these comments and the results. It's amazing just how far outside of the mainstream the youth, specifically on here, are these days. The results for #1, 3 and 6 are genuinely terrifying. Is this the price we pay for the Bush's quagmire? Total rebellion against all that is good because a southern Christian made a grave moral error. Forever the worst President.

Not to take too much blame off Blow Job Bill and his sidekick who invented the disaster known as the Internet.

I am gen z and I had the conservative stance on each one of these.

[Kingpoleon]

Wow.... 1, 2, and 3 have fewer Disagrees than 4 and 6. Bad morals, Atlas.

This level of lofty judgement and utter confidence that your traditional morals are better than everyone else's "bad morals" won't actually convince anyone.

If morals aren’t at least somewhat universal, then what’s the point? Do I believe my morals are the best? Yes, that’s why they are my morals...

So you are okay with open relationships, but not unmarried couples living together?
