SO you're suggesting that a person should be allowed to rape, murder, molest, assault, abuse or rob another person if they're in a private place? That somehow rules don't apply simply because you're in a privately owned building?

What a bizzarre view. What is the purpose of laws Mord? Why protect the innocent from the harm another visits on them? That's what this is about. Protecting an innocent from the decisions of another.

I'm sure the guy that wants to enjoy raping a girl could get all upset about his freedom being restricted too. How dare the government Nazis tell him who he can and can't have his way with. It's his private property dammit. He can do what he likes right?

Isn't that what you're saying? Who gives a hoot what your action does to another. Right? Personal freedom overides the safety and health of the public right?
