[Sam Spade]

Answer whether the following should be legal:

Topless women in public - no
Full nudity in public - no
Child pornography - dear god, no
Minors buying pornography - no, however once they hit 18, they can do whatever they want to.
Pedophilia - no
Zoophilia - no
Necrophilia - no

[KillerPollo]

Topless women in public - YES, since men can!

Full nudity in public - yes

Child pornography - um..... Neup!

Minors buying pornography - Yes, as I said before when kids hit puberty, they become desperate virgins, and need sexual release. After all, suppression of knowledge is wrong!

Paedophilia - no

Zoophilia - NO!

Necrophilia - Talk to the hand (Nyet)

[Nym90]

Topless women in public--Only in clearly marked, designated areas.
Full nudity in public--Only in clearly marked, designated areas.
Child pornography--No. Children can't consent.
Minors buying pornography--Age limit should be 16.
Pedophilia--No. Children can't consent.
Zoophilia--No. Animals can't consent.
Necrophilia--No. Dead people can't consent.

[Nym90]

Zoophilia - No.  Animals are living things, and torture of a living thing that is aware should be illegal.

By that logic, hunting should be illegal. It is interesting that many people consider zoophilia to be cruelty to animals, but don't consider hunting to be.

Well, it's not quite the same. Assuming the animal has a fair chance to get away, hunting is a lot different, in my view. I oppose baiting, but as long as it's a fair contest between person and animal, and the person eats the animal that they kill, I don't see a problem with hunting. It's a natural human activity, and has gone on for thousands of years. Our technology has made it less necessary, but banning it would be a horrible idea.

[A18]

Being killed is not torment.

[Nym90]

Being killed is not torment.

As much as it pains me to say so , Phillip is correct, as we can see from the following definition, courtesy of dictionary.com:

tor·ment    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (tôrmnt)
n.
Great physical pain or mental anguish.
A source of harassment, annoyance, or pain.
The torture inflicted on prisoners under interrogation.

tr.v. tor·ment·ed, tor·ment·ing, tor·ments (tôr-mnt, tôrmnt)
To cause to undergo great physical pain or mental anguish. See Synonyms at afflict.
To agitate or upset greatly.
To annoy, pester, or harass.

Keep in mind that we, "humans" are also animals! Our species is just too supremacist to admit it though!
It's just like the Nazis who labeled thamselves "Aryans" to set themselves apart from their own species!
Hunting sounds fair to me! Animals (us) need to kill other animals (them) to live! it's an instinct. We are no higher than other fellow members of the animal kingdom! we're just a more intelligent animal! that's it! we're just so arrogant, we need to "separate" ourselves from the rest of the kingdom
Which brings me to the second course: cannibalism! i mean, if you're starving to death, and other ppl around you are either dead, or weaker than you, you must do what must be done in order to survive!

So tell me Opebo, how do you get a cat to consent?

Of course he does. If it involves sex, it should be legal.

No, but there is no reason to apply the consent test to an animal just because you apply it to a human.  You're being silly, Ebowed.

No, I think anybody who wants to legalize raping children, animals, and corpses is the silly one.

Assuming we drop the fiction of an age of consent, the term rape would only apply if the 'child' were unwilling.  As for corpses, the fellow might as well be ing a hole in the earth - anyway that is what the dead will be very soon. 

I am sympathetic to the idea of preventing cruelty to animals, but I don't think that needs to automatically include a blanket ban on sex with them.  Obviously a cow or pig would scarcely notice.

I never heard of anybody doing a pig. IIRC sheep and goats are the favored animals for the purpose, by men. By women, dogs.
