The idea of really considering sexual consent is so foreign to him, he’s talking about it as if he’s on to something new.

Someone consenting to being killed in order to defraud insurance?

But then again, I have the feeling a lot of liberals would rather figure out a way to make death so much less expensive, and have safety nets good enough that your children or disabled spouse don’t end up on the streets.

Well, the insurance company would be “somewhat indirectly affected by it.”

In my darkest hours I’ve given a moment’s thought to it. Am I evil? Or just not always 100% certain what would be best for my kids?

Yeah, maybe.

I read that as Canadian Tires for some reason.

For what I’ve heard about that institution, I’d say no thanks, I’ve been to a Wal-Mart before.

Um, explicit consent is pretty much defined as unambiguous verbal (or written) consent. It’s something of which the possibility of misinterpretation is zero.

There are two drinks on this table, one fine, and one deadly poisonous. If you consent to drink one and survive, you get the 10 million dollars sitting over there. If you don’t, I get to watch you die.

Utterly consensual, both parties fully informed. Both parties want the deal to go through.

And I would utterly prohibit it with the full force of the law.

Based on a true story!

Okay, I deleted my somewhat heated reply. I’ll just say that people who do not obtain explicit verbal or written consent (in any context) where explicit consent is required are going (and should) to face the full force of the law if the other party is unhappy with the outcome.

Where sexuality is concerned, the price for ensuring that all encounters are consensual is that all parties must go through the awkward step of having to utterly, unambiguously voice their willingness to have sex. That may be tough for some (especially for my generation), but the fact that a good thing has a cost does not make it less a good thing.

But guys. Guys! Did you see the latest Wikileaks?

They have a huge revelation about the Clinton campaign. YUUGE!

See, a staffer showed a major level of disdain.

For Catholics.

This is an outrage.

Y’know what else is an outrage, Catholics? How your church has been using diplomatic immunity to get out of legal trouble when your priests get in trouble for having sex with little kids. Speaking of consent.
