...don't jump on me. I couldn't resist. But I'm just trying to point out how useless I think the word, decency, is. I see nothing wrong with qualifying a word used in context as fitting according to a particular definition chosen to suit that particular context. I like number 5 from your list and feel it qualifies the definition I gave at the start of this discussion. 5: marked by moral integrity, kindness, and goodwill <hard-working and decent folks> synonym see CHASTE It is actually pointless to have a discussion when the apparent meaning, or a specified meaning of a word is ignored or deliberately misinterpreted. Based on the above #5, for example. If someone wants to argue that we are claiming sex is dirty or bad or something then there is no point in continuing the discussion. It becomes what JLA calls "wrestling with pigs." Personally, I consider sex to be the number 1 finest and most beautiful experience that can be shared by two persons when in the context of #5. Nothing I have said in this discussion justifies labeling my opinion about it in any other way.
