Bro, learn to be open minded in interaction, did the op specify what people should type as a response?

So because i didnt join ishilove to post smiley or chop knuckle, you have a problem with my post?

Start thinking outside the box, instead of limiting yourself in narrowmindedness aka my way alone.

no, its not me [check my signature].

i've reported the post, although i must say i'm surprised anyone took it seriously, however, it IS cyber bullying and extremely distasteful.

the picture smacks of cannibalism btw.

very gross.

Cannibalism? undecided

learn to distinguish between hypocritical sanctimoniousness and outright cyber bullying which 99% of the time is when a GROUP of criminally minded bullies decide to pick on a person they consider a soft target ie that they can get away with.

the fact that your feelings are hurt when your lifestyle is viewed under a microscope, does not give you the right to bully people, learn to let alone what does not concern you, unless you are being paid to pick on others.

in that case, enjoy the money.

last time i checked, sexuality section is up and running, nobody is disturbing them there despite the fact that casual sex and all manner of s.exual activity [both deviant and otherwise], is discussed there, i dont see any so-called holier-than-thou telling anybody not to solicit forsex or post whatever p.orn fantasies they want.

likewise, tribalism section is busy everyday, you'd be better off spending your energy fighting that as a holier-than-thou and it might boost your self esteem to have a cause, who knows.

instead of whining because your conscience is judging you.

crackhaus:

Thanks for the comment though...the topic is sensitive because we all guilty of it somehow, which is probably why no one knew how to respond to it

It's just hard to respond because saying that self-righteousness is bad is stating the obvious like the sky is blue.

what do you think of the passage below:
---
When two researchers recently asked people whether they felt they were moral, and then asked whether they would ever cheat on a test, those who said they were the least likely to cheat turned out to be the same ones who had the strongest conviction that they were moral. No surprise there. But when the researchers looked at the group who said they were the most likely to cheat, they found to their surprised that this group, too, had strong convictions that they were moral. Those who lacked a strong sense that they were moral tended to be iffy about whether they would cheat. …

People with exceptionally strong convictions about their moral goodness are likely to follow extreme courses of action because they can convince themselves that whatever they do is good. When the right course of action is ambiguous … such people are likely to gravitate to opposite ends of a range of behaviors. When there is wide social consensus that something is wrong, they tend to conform to social norms.

When the researchers tested their hypothesis on managers who were asked to make a judgment call involving a conscientious employee who needed to go home early one day, they found that the managers who believed most strongly that they were good people came to extreme conclusions: They either let the employee off for the rest of the day with full pay, or insisted the employee stay and work full hours. The managers who did not think they were particularly good people tended to reach moderate conclusions: They had the employee finish some work and then leave early.

You should have ended in the first paragraph, I don't know where you got the rest from.

You soooo missed the point, maybe you need to understand that it's not about tribalism, sexxual preferences, or whatever gibberish you came up with, like seriously?
