Your LJ name is from the Nick Cave song that I put on my birthday soundtrack. I was just wondering if perhaps you had listened to it lately. Not that you're not allowed to listen to Nick Cave at any given point. Not only are you allowed, but you should. It's good for testicular health. [snort]
If you cannot judge our frienship by now, there's no hope. Besides, I thought you were judging it all along. :D
Oh, duh, right, of course. I listen to that song all the time, and my love of Nick Cave is traceable directly back to your CD. The line is my lj name because, incidentally, my default icon that you are looking at right now's name is Rorschach, from The Watchmen. Which mags insisted that I read, and she was oh, so right.
And your last remark is pure evasion, and I will have none of it. :)
I'm confirming for Friday, btw, I lost track of the other thread.
I've always thought that one of the nice things about being Catholic is that I already hit my lifetime submission quota, so I can keep that whole deal out of my bedroom, thankyewverramuch.

I can tell you that I like chocolate ice cream much better than strawberry. I can tell you the differences between the two flavors. Being a fairly well-spoken and well-read person, I coudl invest many thousands of words telling you about the differences between the two flavors.
However, if you ask me *why* I prefer chocolate over strawberry and the person next to me prefers the inverse, I have no answer for that.

Come on, Brian, that's facile. :) Though I am deeply biased towards chocolate, I can say, from my heart of hears, that both chocolate and strawberry are ethically neutral choices.
I am sure you can fill in the rest of my contention.

You seem to be laboring under an assumption brought about by a paradigm that you dwell in. You're not alone in dwelling in it, and in fact, my personal views might be closer to it than you'd believe. However, to play my advocate...
First, you need to explain to me why sex has to be anything other than "ethically neutral." I don't buy it. Why is sex about ethics? Even if I grant you that ice cream *isn't* about ethics, why is sex any different?
Secondly, even if you managed the feat of convincing me that sex had to be involving ethics, ethics are a very personal and subjective thing, which is the crux of this argument: personal preferences. You'd then have to show me why sex between two people whose personal ethics put them in a mindset that's different from your own is somwhoe "wrong."

LJ ate my first post. Let's try this again. I am sure my first post was better.

More like a conscious choice to remain true to my beliefs.

Even if I grant you that ice cream *isn't* about ethics, why is sex any different?I'll spare you my grand unified theory of sex and ice cream, as much as I would like to indulge my philosophical side

I agree with you about the latest poll, but for different reasons. I agree with your last statement, also. But probably for different reasons.
Which proves we don't have a very ethical friendship.

And until I hear your reasons, I am in no position to judge what kind of friendship we have. ;)

I am such a Catholic. If it weren't for the whole God, Jesus, Saints, and dogma thing...

This phrase gives me a small measure of comfort. I hope this comfort isn't an indication I'm deluded. Time will tell, I suppose.
