Quote:You seem to be missing the point. The State blatantly condoing sex in prison, which implies unequal treatment under the law for heterosexuals, seeing as how they are incarcerated in same sex prisons. There is also the problem of failure to enforce the law against assault in prison, but perhaps that is a separate issue.
No, I already understood your point... I just expected something less reactionary and idiotic from you. It's one thing to joke that the bill is discriminatory, but to actually buy into so much that it becomes the basis for an attack on the bill is just absolutely birdbrained. And even if it wasn't a false premise, there are much better ways to attack the bill.
And I don't see this so much as the State condoning sex in prison. (If it wanted to do that, it'd pass out lube too.) If anything, the State is condoning passing stupid, useless laws, and as far as that goes, the State setting a very good example of it.

There was more that I agreed with in this post of yours than previous ones, though I'm not really sold on the purpose of prison being punishment (even though that's the way things are currently set up).
