Bestiality Law? Florida Takes Another Shot At Passing Bill

As everyone who has ever reported this story will tell you, "Florida is one of only a dozen or so states that don't have a law against bestiality on the books." So, Democratic State Senator Nan Rich is taking her second shot at getting a law passed that would criminalize this sort of thing. This past Monday, the State Senate, by unanimous vote, passed a law that would make this sort of thing "a first-degree misdemeanor... with a penalty of up to a year in jail." It now goes to the State House, where a similar measure spurred by Rich and passed by the Florida State Senate last year failed to pass, despite the fact that it was pretty clear about how it was about people in Florida copulating with dogs and goats and whatnot

I'll be honest. This is not a law I would think anyone would really like, need to debate that much. Should you or should you not have sex with Fluffy the Hamster or Polly the Pig? That is not what I'd call a difficult question, okay?

Via meret: 21-Foot-Tall Robot Baby To Defend People's Republic - exactly what it says.

From comments: It has been three years since the descent of Glorious-
Heavensent-Infant-Who-Walks-In-Grace. Three years since the Eyes, ever-watching. We creep between its soft fleshy toes and pray, and when prayer is not enough we weep. For the People's Republic is no more. We are the Infant-Ruled and the Infant-Born, and we live in the shadow of the Eyes, ever-watching.

I am not saying this is how skynet started; skynet isn't this scary. I don't even want to know what happens to small villages if diapers aren't changed in time.

At Last, A Family Movie About Children Going to Hell which the only reason I am posting this, besides the sheer curiosity about Lizzie Borden teaching Home Economics, is a comment that yet again wonders why kids just can't read like, the fantasy classics made famous by Lord of The Rings and Dante's Inferno and why create dumbed-down versions?

My argument: because classics are classics because they are old and stylistically sometimes pretty goddamn boring.

Long version is like, five pages long and I removed it because apparently, I am surprisingly adamant on like, why literacy is not the same as reading and teaching one does not bestow understanding the second with an intersection into classism in literature, which is just kind of weirdly unsettling to read now. With anecdotes, even.

I will leave with this--kid's version of Moby Dick? Not better than the long version, but so much shorter.

I kind of adore you right now.

Would it in fact be wrong to smear something on your sex that smells good to your dog and let them lick it off? Would it be wrong to caress the teats of your sow?"

I can see how that would be a...a hard boundary to set. With the rubbing and whatnot.

I know, right? The touching! Totally complicated! So confusing! (He was MY MINISTER OF HEALTH. *weeps*)

Now that I think about it, I think it should be "illegal" instead of wrong, I was misremembering the quote when I translated it. Or rather, he's saying "wrong" but discussing issues of legality.

I begin to understand the Old Norse Gods a lot better. There were reasons why they invented such cruel Gods and Götterdämmerung. They must have seen into the future and heard this speech.

And. yuck!

But, but, no one ever told Loki it was wrong to sleep with a horse!

But..but...I thought he was too busy chasing Freya and trying to nail Baldr. Anyway, I thought that the Vikings were into sailing and invading England and whacking off heads and torturing people. I never heard about them nailing horses up the a.....

That probably was considered wrong, especially when you have a whole continent full of maidens to rape.

Of course, I'll bet that the maidens would have wanted the Vikings to take their "attentions " elsewhere.

Goes back to read various Norse saga's to see if there was anything about "Sleeping with horses."

Check under "Sleipnir". *walks off quickly, whistling*

[namastenancy.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God. So, there was sitting on horses, running with horses and, apparently, some sleeping with horses.
Still ain't fittin'. It just ain't fittin!

Plus, the result clearly speaks for itself: an eight-legged horse, no matter how kind its praisers, is still Not Right.

In fairness, he was being a horse at the time.

It doesn't make it much better, though.

And also--the reason I was aghast at his comment is not because it's gross (well, the tone he was using was pretty disturbing), it's the lack of consent. So thank you for your comment downthread: animals should indeed have the right not to be raped by people. Which seems like such a--of course they should? What? I'm not the weird one here, right?

No, I didn't think that was particularly unusual to think either, tbh. I always kind of knee-jerked that one pretty easily.
