Wow, how did this turn political? The whole premise of the thread was originally just silly. But since we are getting serious.....
The whole point of just letting the guy rape his table if he wants is freedom. He was doing an activity in the privacy of his house. He was not killing or hurting any persons. Nor was he planning on hurting persons, that we can reasonably assume. Thus this fellow should be free to do whatever he wants. It is his private property and his private activity.
The fact that he was arrested and convicted I feel is a breach of my American freedoms. The fact that he was sticking his penis in a picnic table is negligable. It was an invasion of his privacy and scares me that the government can push it's way so far into our private lives. That, my friend has nothing to do with liberals, and everything to do with government control over-extending its reach, and you thinking it's a good idea.
