    It’s not that I don’t want to look at them, it’s that I guarantee you that most people wouldn’t want to watch people having sex in public.

    Shouldn’t a general consensus on such things matter?

    Also, are you really complaining about not being able to take a shit on the sidewalk? Can you really not think of any reasons apart from people not wanting to see it why that might not be a good thing? You know, like not creating biohazards?

      I mean, if I can take a shit on a sidewalk, and still use a doggy bag to pick it up afterwards and throw it out, what’s the holdup, here?

      I don’t necessarily think that public sentiment shouldn’t be held to account here, but I also think, yeah maybe it just doesn’t matter, the general public, if you aggregated it all, holds some kind of stupid and unjustified opinions about things, I’m sure.

        Throughout human history, the general consensus of the public is what determined what is and is not acceptable in the public square. Why should it be any different now?
