The 41 year-old had been in a relationship with a man whom he lived with and told officials “it would make me feel happy” for it to continue.
But his local council decided his “vigorous sex drive” was inappropriate and that with an IQ of 48 and a “moderate” learning disability, he did not understand what he was doing.
A psychiatrist involved in the case even tried to prevent the man being given sex education, on the grounds that it would leave him “confused”.
Mr Justice Mostyn said the case was “legally, intellectually and morally” complex as sex is “one of the most basic human functions” and the court must “tread especially carefully” when the state tries to curtail it.
But he agreed that the man, known only as Alan, should not be allowed to have sex with anyone on the grounds that he did not have the mental capacity to understand the health risks associated with his actions.
ramuno–can you rephrase your point. Its too ambiguous for me. Thanks.
Seems to me this guy’s knowledge of sex is about average.
I’m a retard who is offended by the word HUMP
1) noun The thing on the back of a camel.
2) If the thing on the back of a camel is another camel, the noun becomes a verb.
But he agreed that the man, known only as Alan, should not be allowed to have sex with anyone on the grounds that he did not have the mental capacity to understand the health risks associated with his actions.
Following that premise, few of us should be allowed to buy non prescription drugs, as we lack the full understanding of all side effects.
Or operate TVs, as we don’t really understand how they work.
Or judge, being they fail to understand the distinction between enforcing existing law, and making new law unconstitutionally from the bench.
Run progressives run!

Har de har har!
Alfie–you really are a bit confused. Can you explain further how mob violence targeting news media, or anyone with a camera, is a “good” thing, or otherwise explicate how on scene reporting is a “progressive” enterprise?
c’mon Alfie==engage the real world.
This Tyrrell guy IS funny: Clinton should have been impeached because Lewinski was a serious crime but Nixon should not have been impeached even on breaking the law because it was mostly “other people” who were loose canons.
You gotta love the PUKES.
Now Alfie, you just gotta agree that Presidents of the USA, like retards, have the freedom to hump or BJ’s right?
I’ll wait for your insightful analysis.
Bobbo,
There are convicted rapist that are still permitted to have intercourse. There are people that will pass on genetic mutations and their offspring will be afflicted with a disease and they are still allowed to procreate.
There are several issues here, one….it’s not OK to refer to people that are born with a developmental disability as a “retard”. I’m not the PC police but people that are born like this have no control of the cards they are dealt. Many are abused by the system and have no recourse because idiots like you still don’t care and call them “retards”.
If you think it’s alright to call a PERSON a derogatory name, I suggest you go find someone like Rampage Jackson (of the UFC) and call him a Nigger. With any luck, he’ll beat you retarded so we can all laugh at you and call you names and tell you not “hump”.
If it were up to me, there would be one person you could hump. Go fuck yourself….
This article is the gift that keeps on giving.
#72 Alfie
What does all that crap have to do with you being Pro-Choice and an evil person who is headed straight to Hell?
You can prevaricate all you want on a silly blog, Alfie but I seriously doubt St. Peter is going to be interested in your political opinions.
There is good and there is evil, Alfie. You know what he’s going to find in your heart. Just re-read some of the things you’ve posted here, while advertising yourself as a devout Christian.
#86 Your premises are unsound, hence your confusion. Those mentioned are from the “establishment press,” the Obmallelujah chorus of progressive media that seeks only to spin the news for their Messiah.
They want to credit Obama with the uprising, and spin the protestors are reacting to his Cairo speech etc.
They want us to think Obama and his speeches are relevant to the Egyptians, that they are reacting to him and his teleprompter.
That is their primary mission, the second is to blame America, its greed etc.
They have no credibility, their media outlets aren’t believed anymore, soon they will be seeking bailouts from the Government.
Hopefully, our new Congress can stop that.
#90 I’m to take someone who calls himself Rufus Redneck, seriously?
#88–O’Really said, on February 6th, 2011 at 1:12 pm /// Looks like you got something to say. Let’s parse:
Retarded \Re*tard”ed\, n. having a limited or below normal mental ability
Bobbo,
There are convicted rapist that are still permitted to have intercourse. /// Yes, and many would object to that for reasons totally unrelated to the issue presented here. Completely Irrelevant.
There are people that will pass on genetic mutations and their offspring will be afflicted with a disease and they are still allowed to procreate. /// No evidence our subject here has an inheritable disease or defect. Another totally irrelevant point.
There are several issues here, one….it’s not OK to refer to people that are born with a developmental disability as a “retard”. /// Of course it is. The word is in the dictionary. Your argument is with Webster and common usage. Totally fair to argue for changes in the language but such change comes slowly. Sadly my friend, its not the “word” used that is important, but the idea behind the words that are important. so often, those who focus on the one will miss the other.
I’m not the PC police but people that are born like this have no control of the cards they are dealt. Many are abused by the system and have no recourse because idiots like you still don’t care and call them “retards”. /// Idiot vs Retard? Heh, heh. Once again the issue is not control of the card dealt, but what one does with the cards once dealt. Another irrelevancy, hypocritical as well.
If you think it’s alright to call a PERSON a derogatory name, I suggest you go find someone like Rampage Jackson (of the UFC) and call him a Nigger. //// No. Nigger has always been derogatory. The more appropriate construction would be “negro” or “colored person.” But I would never call anyone anything with the sole intent to denigrate. Retard has a proud history.
With any luck, he’ll beat you retarded so we can all laugh at you and call you names and tell you not “hump”. /// You are very much hung up on this “word.” The reaction of a child. Same with thinking the epithet of “you can’t hump” is on par with being denied the activity of humping. Not the same thing at all.
If it were up to me, there would be one person you could hump. Go fuck yourself…./// I’d like to be that flexible–wouldn’t we all? Did see that porno where the guy was blowing himself. Not that flexible either.
Heh, heh. So much “emotion.” More overflowing negativity than the comments you are objecting to. O’Really==what do you call it by demonstrating the very defect you are complaining of? Its not “retarded” but something along those lines. I’ll let you think on it.
Just to repeat myself:
Alfie–you really are a bit confused. Can you explain further how mob violence targeting news media, or anyone with a camera, is a “good” thing, or otherwise explicate how on scene reporting is a “progressive” enterprise?
c’mon Alfie==engage the real world.
Never said it was a “good thing,” I found it hilarious a snake oil salesman get run out of town by those he wanted to swindle.
That’s the analogy.
The proof was in their refusal to vet Obama, but against Palin they sent teams of investigators to her home town, hoping to uncover negative gossip. They did vet her, and could find nothing, so they made stuff up, set her up and ran with their fabrication 24/7 till her popularity numbers went down.
It was disgusting show of partisanship advocacy for Obama, and they are still at it. When MUBARACK decided he wouldn’t run again, the ruling class media made it appear Obama was to be credited.
They are fawning over Obama while discarding a friend who kept the Middle East peaceful from day one of his regime. Obama is leading us into WWIII and they are anxious he get the credit for Egypt, as long as it can be spun as good.
They are worse than snake oil salesmen, they are prostitutes, the propaganda arm of the Obama regime and I for one would love it when folks realize their game, and run them out of town.
Har de har har!
Run progressives run!

Alas, the very people who shouldn’t procreate are usually the last to know (and the first to procreate). The decision to have children is always a selfish one, even though the subsequent struggle to raise those children without burdening society often ends up being very unselfish. However, people often make that initial decision to procreate in the face of glaringly obvious problems that all but guarantee a future burden on society with the results of their selfish decision.
For those who believe in an Intelligent Designer, wouldn’t a far more intelligent plan be for human procreation to involve absolutely no biological drive — no fleshly pleasure? Humans who loved their Creator would honor him by procreating and rearing their young as members of the cult, and believers would have a far higher reproductive rate compared to non-believers. Assuming true believers would obey the command to reproduce from their Creator even if didn’t involve something so profoundly pleasurable as an orgasm, this would have been a much better plan. It would also guarantee that every child was never the result of an “accident,” but the result of a hormone-free decision.
It doesn’t take a genius to find flaws in Intelligent Design dogma that point to a more fitting label of “Retarded Design.” I should know, because I’m mildly retarded myself, and even I can spot flaws in it.
#95 [having children is selfishly] burdening society
Children don’t burden society, they become society when adults.
Your progressive hatred for humanity is showing, like an unseemly slip.
#96 Whatever you think of “progressive hatred for humanity,” your reading comprehension deficit is showing. Remedial classes are clearly in order.
“Go fuck yourself.”
Well, that begs the question.
Alfie, your sacred cow is chewing cud again.
Nobody has yet explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know, who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak. I’m not real enthused about what it is that is being done on a national level from D.C. in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt and in these areas that are so volatile right now.
— Sarah Palin on Obama’s handling of the Egypt crisis
And that’s 100 for everyone but bobbo. Yowza.
