Activist Judge Rules Adult Couples Can Live Together

[matcom]

fucking LIEbural activist judges. who the hell do they think they are? :sarcasm:

<snip>

RALEIGH, N.C. -- A judge says North Carolina's 201-year-old law barring unmarried couples from living together is unconstitutional.

The state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union brought a lawsuit challenging the law on behalf of former Pender County sheriff's dispatcher Deborah Hobbs.

Hobbs lived with her boyfriend and quit her job in 2004 after Sheriff Carson Smith demanded she marry her boyfriend or move out if she wanted to work for him.

State Superior Court Judge Benjamin Alford issued the ruling Wednesday, citing a 2003 U.S. Supreme Court case which struck down a Texas sodomy law.

Jennifer Rudinger of the ACLU of North Carolina said that decision stands for the idea that the government has no business regulating relationships between two consenting adults in the privacy of their own home.

A spokeswoman for State Attorney General Roy Cooper said lawyers were reviewing the decision and there's been no decision yet on whether to file an appeal.

1. Still illegal here in Va.

Can't legally even sign a lease together. No one pays any attention to it but it is still on the books.

Nothing but the missionary position for procreation is allowing and I mean NOTHING else.

Honey look trust me I would love to but dammit the law is the law :bounce::evilgrin::P

2. so now we know EXACTLY how Baby-Underpants was conceived

3. LOL

off subject but the other night on "Queer Eye" they found a tube of "Anal Ese" in the guys bathroom. Carson tasted it and it made his mouth numb (so it does that) but he said it was strawberry flavored.

Why would anal lube be flavored?

more importantly, my wife is allergic to strawberries....

4. Rim jobs.

6. That was my answer.

[matcom]

7. does she have an aversion to Kiwi?

i'm just sayin'

[meegbear]

8. Because when you're doing the nasty ...

it's nice to have the fresh scent of strawberries fill the room.

[underpants]

10. Or you could light a candle

no hold it that didn't mean what it sounded like....uh...

[meegbear]

11. BWAH-HAHAHA!

I generally don't do "flavored" lubes. I just want the stuff to work.

[ZombieNixon]

12. OK, wait a minnit...

Anal lube is mouth numbing and strawberry flavored?

That stuff they put in my mouth yesterday at the dentist was mouth-numbing and strawberry flavored!! x( Are dentists now using anal lube instead of Novocain?! :wtf:

[underpants]

13. How long were you out?

:scared:

:bounce:

[liontamer]

15. it's probably the same stuff

most topical agents contain benzocaine or lidocaine. But for the record you should never use lube that numbs you.

[liontamer]

16. Don't use numbing anal lubes

anal sex won't hurt if you do it properly, (go slow, warm up, lots of lube). If you are in pain you should know, because you're damaging yourself. numbing yourself is not a good idea.

18. *I* didn't do it

it was on the TV

of course this famous picture teaches us all a lesson

[LSK]

5. you mean there are still laws like this???

What kinda fucked up backwards ass law is that???
:wtf:

And this is a free country?
:rofl:

[Mojambo]

14. My sentiments exactly

I can't believe there are still laws like this!

Guess I forget how things are down south being out here on the left coast.

[eyesroll]

9. I've always wondered if these rules prohibit a man and a woman from

living together as roommates, or if it specifically applied to couples? (And, if so -- how would they know the difference?)

[MountainLaurel]

17. Hooray!

I have an online colleague who lost a promotion because she was cohabitating in NC.

[SIU_Blue]

19. "there's been no decision yet on whether to file an appeal."

An Appeal? Are you fucking serious?

On another note, matcom, I think you do the lounge a great service by posting these stories.

[lildreamer316]

20. Oh dear. I've been breaking the law for 5 years???

Shit.
Oh, well....

[Katina]

21. if you try to rent an apt in NYC

[liontamer]

unless you have a really weird landlord.

[Crabby Appleton]
