I Think It's Better To Have Limits. My Limits Are Different From Other People's Limits. I'm All For Freedom, I'm All For People Doing What They Want. I'm Also All For People Shouldering The Consequences Of Their Behaviors, And Not Being Assholes, And Not Lying Unless They Need To, And Being Honest Except When You Shouldn't, And Being Faithful Except When It's Okay To Cheat.
