Me: Just another paranoid anti-gov nut job

No problem with the State knowing your religion right?Maybe not so much...

I have long maintained it is absolutely no business of the Government's what anybody's religious affiliation is.

I took flack for that and my supposedly selfish refusal to complete the long form census. I never put in writing what in time could become (given the flitty nature of govern-mental whimsy) de trop.

Heh ......... regarde SVP.

LONDON — A British court ruled that a couple cannot keep foster children because they are morally opposed to homosexuality because of their faith.

In the ruling February 28 the justices ruled that homosexual rights “should take precedence” over the rights of religious beliefs. The Judges stated that Christian beliefs on sexual ethics may be ‘inimical’ to children, and they implicitly upheld an Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) submission that children risk being ‘infected’ by Christian moral beliefs.

And

“The Johns are a mild mannered, ordinary Christian couple, yet they may never be able to foster children again. They were willing to love a child regardless of sexual orientation, but not willing to tell a young child that practicing homosexuality was a positive thing,”

It has begun.

For the slooooooooooooow or comprehension deficient, this post is NOT about fostering nor is it about the child protection industry. I myself have absolutely no problem with homosexuals fostering and or adopting from within the system. I do have  HUGE problems with the system, but that is whole new Gordian knot to will be left for a different day. Just to be clear....

You can't exercise your plums

If a judge thinks you're dumb.

A man with an IQ of 48 has been ordered to stop having sex by a High Court judge.
Known only as Alan, the 41-year-old was in a relationship with a man he lived with and said he wanted it to continue.
However, his local council said his 'vigorous sex drive' was inappropriate so started legal proceedings to restrict the relationship.

So we have a guy who is well below average, who is happy living with someone else, who has a too too vigorous a sex drive and  (apparently) loving it. But some bureaucratic busy body decided that this just wasn't right and decided all that gay sex has gotta be stopped because the man n question  is not smart enough to know what he is doing...Not even smart enough to understand any instruction in sex education.  I wonder who is going to explain his partner disappearing and the ban on having any relations in the future?

Despite his fears for interfering in a person's sex life, he agreed that he did not have the mental capacity to know about the health risks and should be banned from having sex.
His council will now monitor him closely to make sure he doesn't breach the order.
Justice Mostyn said: 'Alan does not have the capacity to consent to and engage in sexual relations.
'In such circumstances it is agreed that the present regime for Alan's supervision and for the prevention of future sexual activity is in his best interests.

Despite the judge's worry about interfering in a basic right and body function he was persuaded that he should. Why? I see nothing in the article on how Alan was abused, how Alan was misused, on how Alan  was taken advantage of by his partner. Nothing at all on how this sex drive has negatively impacted his life. But it must be stopped.

Bonus: Oh goody the busy bodies get to monitor everything he does to make sure that the ban is adhered to. Some bureaucrat just made a job for themselves now didn't they?

Now I do not pretend to understand every nuance when dealing with the mentally impaired. However one "might" think that it has already been decided that he was capable enough to live independently and not require  an institutional living arrangement.

I also have a few questions that I will never have the answers to.

Would these busybodies be so concerned if  "Alan" was in a vigorous relationship with a woman and not a man? Nod, nod, wink, wink, say no more.

What are they going to do to poor Alan should he slip off  the wagon and  vigorously exercises his drive? Are they going to send him to Jail? Shame him? Fine him? Fine anyone who joins him?
 
This is a ridiculous ..... Tommy would be proud however........
