You should be able to do whatever you want as long as you do not impose upon the rights of others?

Sounds OK to me. What do you have in mind?

I do! That's why we have laws. They help the officials take car of those that impose upon the rights of others.

That is hard to say because where one person will say "you are infringing on my rights" the other will argue they are not. Take smoking: I feel it infringes on my right to breath clean air but I guess it is the smoker's right to ruin their lungs. So you get into a tug of war situation of "you move then" and "no, YOU move", etc.
What about me putting a cross on my front yard, which I PAY FOR, for Easter or Christmas (or a nativity). If I had a muslim neighbor they may say it offends them. From the look of things, the ACLU thinks I should remove it but mohammed could paint their house outside full of anti-christian and anti-American rhetoric.
It's a sticky situation and groups like the ACLU are the fermenters of trouble.

Sort of agree. One should be able to do whatever they want as long as they dont harm anyone else. They call this America a free country but theres a rule for everything. Cant do this, cant do that. Like prostitution. It should be legal, a choice between on adult seller to one adult buyer in a designated area like one of those "spas" out of the view of children and others who dont want to see it. Thats one example. The government needs to butt out a bit.

Sounds to good to be true. Someone would mess it up.
For example someone might drink and drive but then end up killing someone, it imposed on that person to the point that they can't take it back.

If you stay in your apartment/condo/house, where I or my family dont have to see what your doing, then knock yourself out. You should be ablr to cut yourself up, shoot herion, make love to your pets whatever your twisted little mind can come up with.
I dont understand what people want today, what is it that you want to do, that is not allowed now. If we have no socail norms, where do we draw the lines to what is acceptable and what is not.

I guess. But almost anything you can do impacts others so what kind of actions did you have in mind? The question might be better with a few examples?

No -- I do not. You may not think you are imposing on anyone - however, you may have an impact on children and morals.

sounds good to me
but I think a lot of people these days don't agree with that, seems that many, including our president want to legislate morality, some I'm sure would vote for legislation that would make us have to live according the teachings of the bible.
