Is swinging illegal in the US?
I love how little European statist have always to pollute the righteousness of the American Law by their stupidity. But as I am generous for now (and don't think you are worth any expenses), I will just permit myself to quote some People that MADE AMERICA. I understand that for you destitutes eurotrashes it will be a shock. You have never been at the center of the World. Never, ever. Everyone knew where the silk came from... but HOW
So that you can have a chance to climb the ladder of evolution, and be part of mankind I kindly and graciously provide you with those, read it's worth it for eurotrash to learn.
"Human rights can only be assured among a virtuous people. The general government . . . can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any despotic or oppresive form so long as there is any virtue in the body of the people."
George Washington
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
Benjamin Franklin
"Laws without morals are in vain."
Benjamin Franklin (Motto of the University of Pennsylvania)
"The institution of delegated power implies that there is a portion of virtue and honor among mankind which may be a reasonable foundation of confidence."
Alexander Hamilton
"To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea."
James Madison
". . . Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed . . . so long as our manners and principles remain sound, there is no danger."
Patrick Henry "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams
"Our liberty depends on our education, our laws, and habits . . . it is founded on morals and religion, whose authority reigns in the heart, and on the influence all these produce on public opinion before that opinion governs rulers."
Fisher Ames
"It is certainly true that a popular government cannot flourish without virtue in the people."
Richard Henry Lee
"Whenever we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary."
Thomas Paine
"[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen onto any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man."
Samuel Adams
"A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy.... While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.... If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security."
Samuel Adams
"No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people, but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue, and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles."
George Mason
"[A] free government . . . cannot be supported without Virtue."
Samuel Williams
"To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society."
Theodore Roosevelt
"We have never stopped sin by passing laws; and in the same way, we are not going to take a great moral ideal and achieve it merely by law."
Dwight D. Eisenhower
"A state is nothing more than a reflection of its citizens; the more decent the citizens, the more decent the state."
Ronald Reagan
"Righteousness exalteth a nation."
Proverbs 14:34Were they fanatiks? zealots? idiots? or maybe among them those that stand against men (biologically speaking) like you and defeated them... by the Grace of God...

美德, because you can see the spirit of the one who draw them. For those that know how to read... understand who can.
