There are 10 definitions on dictionary.com and 3 of them include this possible definition. Either way, I think if you want to really talk about the word and what the common accepted meaning is of the word, oral sex is not it. If you're trying to act smart and show that you know a defunct definition that isn't used anymore, more power to you. But it's quite clear that the most common dictionary definition is anal sex, and usually with someone of the same sex. In addition, that is just the definition that is clearly accepted in American culture. Sorry. I just find it annoying when people try to act all smart like this and they are technically correct, but not practically correct.

Dola: and I'm tired and suffering from some insomnia, so that's a factor too.

What do you mean its a 'defunct definition'? Hell, it's the first definition listed on dictionary.com! I thought most people knew that oral sex is included in 'sodomy' (and yes people were prosecuted for oral sex under sodomy statutes).

Now that we've moved on to debating the specifics of sodomy, I think this thread has taken a turn for the better. Or does that get us closer to Nazis again?

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I had never heard of Oral Sex being included until I looked it up on Dictionary.com tonight. FWIW, not that it's an absolute source, wiki even says that it is "most commonly used to refer to anal sex". *shrug*... I dont' really actually care all that much. I just feel like if you ask 10 people in the US, 7 or 8 of them will say it means anal sex.

Most commonly, but not exclusively. I think some regard anything outside of vaginal sex (and even then in some places there might be rules on the books where it's anything outside of the missionary position) as technically being sodomy.

The definition of sodomy and its penalty from Minnesota statutes:
609.293 SODOMY. Subdivision 1. Definition. "Sodomy" means carnally knowing any person by the anus or by or with the mouth. Subd. 2.[Repealed, 1977 c 130 s 10] Subd. 3.[Repealed, 1977 c 130 s 10] Subd. 4.[Repealed, 1977 c 130 s 10] Subd. 5. Consensual acts. Whoever, in cases not coming within the provisions of sections 609.342 or 609.344, voluntarily engages in or submits to an act of sodomy with another may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than one year or to payment of a fine of not more than $3,000, or both.

In retrospect, did Keith Ellison's constituents know he was Muslim? I'm sure that had to have come up in the elections. If they did and elected him, then it shouldn't surprise any of them when he wants to take his oath on the Koran...and in essence, they've condoned this and supported this.
If the people who voted for him didn't know he was Muslim, then I could see an argument against him taking an oath on the Koran. There are certain expectations that people have when they vote for someone and I believe this is one of them. If he didn't disclose that he was Muslim to the people, then they may have an argument there. That being said, I highly doubt that he was voted into office without the people's knowledge that he was Muslim. |

What if someone wants to take the oath while performing sodomy? What about that?

You might be right, but that would run contrary to the response you'd get in Georgia I bet. We heard the word a lot during the Bowers v. Hardwick case and although the law in question covered both, pretty much every conversation I heard, every joke that was told, any reference to it at all clearly had oral as the primary definition.

They definitely knew, it was a fairly large point of interest in the campaign. There were some questions raised about his relationship with Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam when he was in college, but it seemed pretty minor. But once he won the Democratic primary for the seat, there was little doubt he would be elected.

If sodomy isn't substance, I don't know what is.

While I do think the PC police are doing their best to push all expression of Christianity into some unseen dark little corner of society, I have no problem with someone placing their hand on whatever text that is sacred to their religion when taking the oath.
That said, people living in this country (especially Muslims), do need to understand that the religious heritage of this nation is Christianity and stop whining about being offended when they see it expressed. Do you think leadership in a Muslim country gives a rat's a$$ about what Christians and/or Jews might find offensive in their cultures? |

Please carefully review what I wrote...in no way did I say we should model our society after what Muslim states do. If we did, you anti-religious folks might actually have justification for a beef. I am saying that free religious expression is guaranteed under our Constitution and that the government has no right to censure any such expression (barring animal or human sacrifice of course). It gets a little irksome when the PC police go ballistic whenever they feel that Christian expression is just a little too public...i.e., oh my, we can't have that 200 year old cross in the public square anymore, some athiest/jew/muslim/hindu/troutfetishist/etc.etc.etc. might be offended...or After fifty years, we can't display that manger scene in the foyer of the city hall any more...someone might be offended. |

One of my favorite moments on Letterman had Dave pondering this new something or other that claimed to have the ability to reduce the size of a person's head. Dave couldn't figure out why anyone would be interested, and a comment was heard off stage. Letterman turns away from the camera cracking up.

On a totally unrelated note some people protested in England about Jedi's not being recognised properly as a religion (in the last referendum 'Jedi' was the fourth most popular entry under religion believe it or not - us English have a strange sense of humour .... and of course a love for all things StarWars ).

I wouldn't use it that way but if you asked me if oral sex was considered sodomy I'd have known that it is. I've heard this definition used enough over the years having lived in bible belt states. I have no idea how common this knowledge is in other parts of the country though. I'm just adding another data point here.

Say that the next time you walk into a store, and the greeter says "Happy Holidays", not because that's what they SHOULD or WOULD say, but rather what the HAVE to say for fear of some ridiculous minority group threatening to boycott and spread it all over the media if they DARE say "Merry Christmas". There's MILLIONS of Christians in this country, celebrating their Holy Day, and the greeter can't even say the doggone name of the holiday. Or tell those children in a school who would LOVE to be able to have a moment of prayer or even a moment of silence, but the 1 child from an athiest family has the ability to just be, y'know, SILENT during a moment of silence gets to destroy everyone else's ability to have a prayer. A school might have THOUSANDS of children, but 1 single child gets to dictate school policy. Or how a church in a school (private or not), CHURCH, mind you, are being asked to remove a cross from sight because some group is offended. How about the fight to have the words "Under God" removed by the dollar bill, or the Pledge of Allegance? The day is coming when some crackpot minority group, religion or even athiests, sue the government to have Christmas removed as a National Holiday on the grounds that it's against separation of Church and State. Because that's OBVIOUSLY what the Founding Fathers intended by that amendment -- the COMPLETE removal of any mention of God in the Government. But we bend over backwards for other religions, like the states that allow picture-free licences for Muslim women who want to wear veils. Yeah, Christians are treated WONDERFULLY in this country. Riiight. Hell, I'm not what you would call a regular church goer, and I can see it.
