Not to mention, since we're all part of kingdom Animalia, anyone who has had sex with another human being has technically had sex with an animal. A really bad pun came to mind after reading this concerning sex with animals, splitting hairs, but I won't go there. Oops. Or sex with sheep. That'd be baaad. Ewe'd be sorry if you made those jokes!

Reprisal of an old ad slogan for the troops stationed in the middle east:
"I'd walk a mile for a camel."

Well, you can say the same about any rule. Why have rules against murder and rape, since those don’t stop murders and rapes from happening? Right? What the rules do is allow you to apply legal consequences to the people that break them. Okay, apparently I didn't make the intent of my previous post clear because you're sort of going in the opposite direction of what I was saying. Simply put, I just don't think you're going to see any rise in instances of bestiality just because this rule has been removed. I would think that there aren't that many people that participate in this type of behavior to begin with, at least I hope not. And removing it certainly isn't going to entice someone that doesn't have the proclivity to screw animals to do it. But this is what it looks like the Repugs are claiming, that removal of this rule is going to cause bestiality to be rampant within the military ranks. I would not under any circumstances suggest that laws and rules are unnecessary. To me, laws exist just "for the record". Realistically, writing down "do not steal" isn't going to stop thieves/pirates. We're social creatures, and as much as the fundies might not want to admit it, the only reason we don't steal from each other on a regular bases is because of our moral compass, empathy, consequences, etc., not merely because of something written on paper. While laws could influence our conscience, it's not like it can physically prevent you from doing anything. On another note: there were laws that were immoral (i.e. Jim Crow laws), so saying you shouldn't do something just because a law says so, likewise saying you should do something because it's not a law, is a fallacy. Reprisal of an old ad slogan for the troops stationed in the middle east: "I'd walk a mile for a camel." Feh, I knew a guy who'd give his kingdom for a horse.
