This, like many laws, should not exist. The government has no place telling me I have to have a job. Deny unemployment benefits, sure, but if someone chooses to find alternative means to survive rather than work a 9-5 it’s none of the governments business. Neither is it their business if someone makes their living gambling or prostituting. The only reason those are illegal is because it goes against Christianity, and last I checked the United States constitution guarantees us freedom of religion, so the government has no right to impose Christian values upon us.

Non-religious values. When something restricts or hurts another individual, that should be illegal. Two people willingly engaging in an act such as gambling or prostitution, both knowing full well the risks and implications, should never be restricted by the government. Nobody’s rights are infringed upon and nobody who didn’t willingly agree to the arrangement is directly affected.

And your understanding of freedom is lacking.

You seem to think the government should intercede and restrict a person from doing things that go against your moral values. That would be an infringement upon freedom.

Your rights and freedoms in this country are spelled out in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The idea that we have unlimited freedoms do as we please beyond those written is incorrect. Your comments on my idea of freedom seems be more based on my questioning you on what values we should use and your assumptions that if I don't agree with you my opinions must be totally opposite of yours and based less on anything I have stated.

Wrong. Not every right is "spelled out" in the Constitution.

I must admit I get a bit zealous when it comes to the discussion on values and morals and therefore will apologize if my points are made to strongly. Morals and values are truly the backbone of a society yet in recent generations we have intentionally been taught nothing about them and the fruit is ripening. Even from a scientific point of view a society without a strong moral fiber cannot survive and prosper. We have intentionally been made ignorant in this socal understanding. True science will point that a strong society first starts with a strong nucleus at the family level. Certain thing that we have been taught that should be our freedoms undermine the foundations of morality and therefore weaken a society and therefore must be regulated for the best interest of the group. True social science points to this. I truly believe we are were we are at as a Nation because we have not understood the role of morals in human society.
