May God have mercy on they soul. I don't believe in death penalty for non-homicide crimes either, but a law be a law and they knew what they doing, going with that enterprise to a country like Indonesia. They shoulda thought of their moves smarter. |
5minsmadness:It's so sad you even have to defend yo on this stuff bro. Hope you can avoid that hurt and vindictive lady in question. |
I'm against people hitting other people of any gender and age. Reading up. Quite a big writeup going here. |
Poll: Assuming I were looking for a wife, this one's pretty tough. The first implies she knows exactly what she wants with her body and life and won't compromise with life, which is attractive. The second implies she knows the same and won't compromise with judgment of anyone, which would also make for excellent long time partner traits. I guess I'd ask which them into marriage more. |
Why would that worry you? If you don't worry magicks there's no way they go hurt you. |
Such a tragedy. Rest in power Sir. *salute* |
Shollypopzz:A-okay and thank you for letting me know, I entirely missed that point. I will get the glasses for closer reading I suggested to her for myself then, seems I'm in need of them. ![]() Don't tend to edit posts, once said word stays, but here's apology to @Chillisauce for misreading you. |
Chillisauce:And who are YOU, if you can't tell two colors together? Green and white aren't that difficult. Maybe you need help with that, and think about what you're going to say before you say it while your eyes are getting a fix, because there was still no addressing any point of what I said about biology. Which still wasn't my opinions about things, but opinions based in several sciences. As opposed to uneducated interpretations of religions people here pull and their own similarly well informed so called 'opinions'. |
5minsmadness:I haven't viewed it that way either, yet how we as individuals view something doesn't change the notion in majority group of anywhere. 5minsmadness:Those laws were long overdue. It's a shame they weren't there sooner, that it had to be this long to even get laws in effect guaranteeing basic human rights. So your statement 'it's the men who enacted the original laws' could surely be viewed as men doing a favor of sorts to women... but if you look at the larger scope, guaranteeing any minority group basic rights they have as fellow PEOPLE, it's really not doing any sort of a favor, but very belated apology after years of that other group's inmesurable suffering. 5minsmadness:But look at the next many women who don't for instance even hear of having any rights, who whole their lives just hear to suck it up, it could have been worse somewhere. That sort of logic doesn't get us anywhere; it's always worse somewhere. I thought the goal is getting be better. And what desperate people do to get their voices heard is I don't think up for judgment of those not sharing that despair. It's as simple as that. It's not hypocritical to require respect however (preferably legally) available. 5minsmadness:Neither. My first thought would be there's a naked person, who is walking, and depending the style of the walk and ocassion, it's either not my business, or my business to ask that person if they don't need an assistance, because a naked person in the middle of a street when it isn't a march specifically meant for that is surely experiencing a mental distress they better get addressed, and is requiring a medical attention. A madman slaps a woman and a madwoman slaps a man, who are you going to assist first?The hurt party. The slapped person. 5minsmadness:Individual. I can't respond to that with generic idea, there's multiple men who don't have that muscle mass and women who do. 5minsmadness:Ditto, it's still individual. 5minsmadness:The interpretation of those signs as masculine x feminine, is. We could well be simply talking of X trait, as required for Y activity, or as suitable Z activity instead of something else. We could be talking about bodies in a different way than label gender and the informational value woulda be the same, if not greater. 5minsmadness:I haven't - thank you for the movie recommendation and I will ammend that as soon as possible, it certainly sounds as an interesting movie to watch. ![]() However, that some people are inclined to do this or that role, still doesn't speak about biological determinism, more shared cultural values passed through genetically, if something, but the beginning of that division was still cultural, somewhere along the way, and then deciding it works out just well, let's do it repeatedly. 5minsmadness:You're entitled to your views, but you're still owing fellow people a basic respect, and a way for them to not feel threatened around you. Which spreading hate everywhere one goes, indeed isn't. This isn't just about being politically correct. This isn't about rhetorics. This is about lived feeling of safety. About being a decent person to fellow people. You don't have to adapt the same mindset, values, lifestyles. But to restrict people's right to live their lives in peace, with who they are happy with? Yeah, I do see an issue with that. |
5minsmadness:The only issue with this: I wasn't in fact speaking about myself. What I believe or don't believe; what I spoke of was societal notion of the word effeminate and how it's used in colloquial use. 5minsmadness:There is a dictionary definition for everything, yet the practical use (and common idea when certain words are spoken) still need to be taken into account when discussing this. Though I'm thankful you've provided with what definition of effeminate you're operating, that can certainly help us reach a common ground. ![]() And again as stated above - I wasn't speaking about my beliefs or lack of. More the language and associations as I've observed them in use. Which of course would differ from codified version as outlined by a dictionary. 5minsmadness:I beg to differ. There's nothing as biologically determined nature of men, women, or other people. How we perceive manhood and womanhood is a social construct, it's not nature that places these limitations, but societies, and societies raised with a particular doctrinal (and outdated) biology view (yes, I just called Darwin outdated.). Findings in other sciences past half a century have found actually biologically, in hormonal structure, in brain structure, in chromosomes, we're very alike, and the differences are rather fluid. Ditto appropriate behavior for male and female roles - that's all a question of social conditioning, more than hard wired predetermined traits. |
cococandy: No I'm with you, smoother pictures if available would do them better justice, just poking around. |
cococandy:On another hand, maybe people go fly from 'so ugly' cities and we'll have more space for enjoying them. Seeing the glass half full. |
FrancisTony:Her name doesn't lie, she's truly a gift from god, I'm more surprised there isn't more people in open admiration of Chimamanda to be honest. In my eyes it's a rather respectful stance to awesome woman, awesome person, and awesome writer, nothing worth shaming. |
5minsmadness:Yes because the context to the 'effeminate' used against men is to denote 'lacking in some area important for men', masculinity. It implies women are weaker, or less worthy, by default state. That a man who even remotely has feminine characteristics, is a bad man, because it's bad to be a womanly man. |
5minsmadness:We're on the internet, that goes for granted. With using femininity as an insult, even if against other men and not women? You're insulting every woman out there. It's not the same as being blatantly misogynist, yet the insult is still obvious enough. |
FrancisTony:All women behave the same, didn't you know. He's expert on women behavior. I guess maybe from listening to laments of all those he insulted. But I wouldn't know, not knowing him and all. |
TV01:Oh you so got her. First praising a woman for how good she is and then being all 'but she's missing the big point anyway, see them, cute things? They're better sitting down and being cute, not talking about these gasp intellectual things'. Did you think that hasn't been heard for decades at least? Patronizing, misogynist, chauvinistic and pseudointellectual.TV01:1. That some lesbians have violent relationships can hardly be taken as a measure for all lesbians, logical fallacy there. b. Why are you so fascinated with oh them exotic lesbians anyway? They're just women and I doubt they'd want either of us in their lives. They manage without men just fine. 2. Looking up to a person isn't a proof of one gender being above the other. It's a proof some people recognize the personhood of others fully, and strive to improve themselves, but hardly it points to any flawed superiority theory you're postulating here. |
TV01:Thing is you're missing people on the internet are real people. Hence also real feminists. (OR that in the age of social sites, what happens on the internet is often faster influencial in many areas than what is reported via other means.) So in many ways you're just following a very out of reality logic. Attacking a poster is the only thing you can do? Not responding to thought out arguments? But sure, continue talking about The Gayz. If you're so curious, why don't you join the club? And while we're at it and you're airing everything of your verbal vomit publicly, tell us who of your brilliant trained parrots you're meeting and where? I'm sure we could make a criminal case out of it, and you'd get enough of the ass you so crave as sitting in jail. Though I doubt you'd get any even there. Gays are said to have a style in who they pick. ![]() |
TV01:Actually not, BlackLeopard is sitting by, having fun watching you go in circles that don't make any sense ![]() All your happy 'screwing with feminists', you should tell that to people like Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, because weren't it for her, there wouldn't be computer and internet like we have now on which you spout your 'women are so pathetic' nonsense. But sure, women like her and Ada Lovelace don't mean a thing to you, oh masculine connoissaeurs of history? Women, and femininity, aren't pathetic. We'd be a screwed kind, weren't it for intelligent, brave, helpful, compassionate, and great women y'all keep dissing as terrible feminists. |
TV01:You are very right evils should be confronted head on. Such as hate. I see a lot of it reading you. And shockers, children taken into care by loving people, who happen to love them, each other, and the world, who, shock, are of the same genders! What an atrocious society to be in. Let's rather have children murdered randomly on the streets because their alcoholic daddy got tired of beating them and their mommy, that sick bitch didn't love his slaps and couldn't feed them any longer with the miserable naira he brought home from hustling. #ForGloriousNigeria! #marchesOff |
coogar:Actually, the sacred geometry, that of a DNA, is double helix. Straight is a line of heartbeat when a person dies ![]() This is whole just language and not telling anything about normalcy, and when you break it down deeper to biology, it wouldn't even work. coogar:And just because something is not legal doesn't mean it should be, only that people didn't move to that stage of understanding, yet. And you're wrong, because HIV broke out greatly due to infidelous straight people and also medical negligence of straight medical community while treating their patients. If we want to get technical. Gay communities are rather aware of the risks, and the reputation you're citing, and are rather paranoid about their health, last I knew. So the risk of spreading diseases is decreased. Who bleeps around are straights. |
TV01:Dude stop equating homosexuality with pedophilia, it's tiring. Child abuse is, I think we can agree on, wrong. Regardless of who does it to children. Legitimising homosexuality? Let me see. For one, most of the civilized world respecting human rights moved on. Homosexuality isn't harming anyone, and legitimizing it doesn't really increase sexual abuse cases because plain, abusers aren't by majority homosexuals. And in fact, I wasn't calling you either of these. I was just saying it's a thing each should consider on their own when being so strongly against at least one of those issues (homosexuality, the pedophilia is I think we can agree a different basket of fruits.) |
pickabeau1:I'm merely saying requests to be left alone are personal and to call a decision of another about their well being histrionic is undeserved. As simple as that. |
pickabeau1:Actually nawh, I'm my own disappointed mouthpiece the obvious isn't obvious. There was no schooling, just discussion we're all free to do as we deem fit. |
pickabeau1:Politely stated boundaries aren't drama and histrionics, miss/ma'am. |
coogar:I'm not saying SHOULD. There are things that are preferable to be done and that are not preferable to be done. Doesn't change this is something that falls into the individual's own consideration. What two adults do, unless it harms them? Is not my business. People have freedom to do as they please. Saying there is freedom is nowhere near endorsing some behaviors; only acknowledging they may be more harmless than societal groupthink leads people to believe about them. coogar:It may not be the only factor. However, it still stands consent is crucial in a variety of situations. Pretending it can be simply ommitted, is endorsing immoral behavior. coogar:I don't have issue admitting to mis phrasing. However, don't fan yourself, believing you can force feed me anything. (By the way bro, why are you so stuck on these metaphors of force? There is no need for that sort of speech. We're just conversing about human issues, don't be dragging force into this where everyone sees you're doing it only to feel better about yourself. We can be having discussions without this sort of rhetorical bollocks. It's arguments deciding, not force.) |
coogar:Quite the contrary, I've been praying for you for two months to wisen up. Alas, what even God(s) combined cannot do, cannot be done. coogar:They're adults. That it would have possibly other consequences - biological for their possible offspring, societal to strong tabboos, etc, is a different thing. We were weighting in solely the age difference and consent, and for THESE TWO factors pinned, it indeed isn't wrong. What you're doing here is black and white thinking for something that's an issue of all sorts of grey. coogar:If you eliminate the need for consent entirely, you're in the lawless society. In which something like free will of an individual means nothing. It's not possible to simply shrug it off as irrelevant and social construct, because to the idea of consent tie in other crucial ideas - like freedom of choice. |
coogar:Because you're only derailing to something that's totally unrelated to our discussion. The talk wasn't focused on peer relations or families, but on wide age caps and if it's possible children can consent. Yet you derailed. Moralcy is always relative to culture and time and also subjective; speaking in terms of biology and other factors like learning would make more sense if we want to make comparisons. Not subjective assesments. Not religion, either. But with those two teens? They're of the same age, assuming they're of similar experience, and both agreeing with what they're doing? Then yes, it's moral. It may seem despicable to some because they're siblings, but from the age/power/consent balances? They're good to go. |
TV01:Exceptions exist to every rule, that doesn't really prove the average of something is invalid. TV01:You're using manipulative rhetorics here, in which statement A is true, statement B is entirely unrelated to the issue and untrue, and the supposed conclusion you make of that should be 'true', but logic doesn't work that way. Truth implying falsehood means the whole implication is untrue, in other words, try again, what you're doing here is bad logic and argumentation. Homosexuals continue to push for increasing sexualisation of our children - I posted liinks earlier - legally consent is merely a statutory concept, not a biological one . Who are you tryong to dribbleYou're also shifting focus here. The only people who fetishize children are sexual predators. Which may or may not be homosexuals, but on average? Most are heterosexual men (look up the average statistics, the figures speak rather clearly on this globally.) Not closeted homosexuals. Not even pedophiles (as in oriented toward children.) Consent, choices, word sophistry does not make the deviant right, or the immoral good.You're arguing 'right' and 'moral' based on bad science. I could well tell you that on itself is wrong. Show us the studies. Is it the same one that says people who are disgusted by homosex are closeted gaysIt's not really tropes, it's common sense. Besides, you're using wellbeing of children as a straw man here. I doubt you care for well being of children, you're using children as objects in your hypothetical debates when you need to shut someone else up. TV01:Which further proves my point, so thank you for showing me talking with you, reasonable people are just losing their precious time, because you cling to your own hate and bad science like a life rope ![]() |
coogar:You learn to read, Coogar. I was talking about adults/adults, adults/children. Nowhere in the post I talked teens, where so much is blurred, and the only one bringing incest into all of this is you. Derailing for newbies. |
Actually yeah, the only difference between a lot of moral vs. immoral IS consent. (If I take someone's thing? It's theft. If they agree with me grabbing it? It's totally not.) So not only moral vs. not, but whole the legal basis from that point in most states as well. Children cannot consent. It's not a question about wordz even. It's a question of biology. They brains aren't developed to grasp mature matters on adult level, therefore they cannot consent, period. But continue equating choices between two adults to all the abominations like child rape. (By the way, there was some studies out there the only people so obsessed with thoughts about what's pedophilia and not, are pedophiles themselves. The rest of the society don't give a flying Bleep. So, present gentlemen being all about kiddies? This speaks volumes about you.) |
