Are we going to start that "decency" discussion again? No. Or at least, not from my posts. IMO, decency is a moral issue, what individuals or societies think is morally acceptable or unacceptable. Mine is a purely pragmatic, psychological, sociological approach. How do individual act, how do they respond under different circumstances. I'm not saying it's decent or indecent to have sex before marriage. I'm saying that it has certain sometimes unrecognized consequences, and arises from a mindset which may not be the best mindset for the long term health of our society. Nothing to do with decency or indecency.
