Why are only "positive" emotions acceptable in Judeo-Christian societies? Who says they are? I've never heard anyone suggest only "positive" emotions acceptable in our society. In these disgusting societies, people must pretend to be happy and loving all the time , or face socia...

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case. You've seduced everybody with your feminine logic, your cold, hard, female philosophy, congratulations! There is no such thing as 'feminine logic'. Logic is logic. You don't say, darl. ! I couldn't agree more. I knew you and I had a special conneXion [the 'x' i...

No one has a right to control or has dominion over anything, save themselves. :lol: Rights? :lol: Retard, its about Degrees of Capacity to assert or be asserted upon. Please adjust your preacher's robe; but its quite showing of certain parts of you - the other side of the rainbow world LOL where Go...

I am a Satyr...do you know what that means? My name is not Satyr...I AM a Satyr. Silenus is my King. Seriously, what does your mother think about this? Is she concerned for your welfare. I AM a Satyr, I am NOT insane. Loss of true identity is a sympton of depression. How is "true" identit...

15 and pregnant? Difficult to give an opinion, but from my own perspective, given I was a late starter not at 15, I find it difficult to comprehend at that age, having said this I had girlfriends who did have abortions at an early age. I guess it is the "unlucky" ones who fall pregnant. I...

Are you going to wait until they "stop" growing? around 25 or so? why not try a different brand, Brand?? :lol: How about Flavours? I like Vanilla, its dreamy creamy. Its all about personal comfort. I think the time to start contraception is the time a girl starts having sex. So whatever a...

When is it appropriate for a woman to slap a man? When a man slaps a woman he can easily knock her to the ground or even across the room. Yea, so barbaric - did you see [EDITED] If women know they can be easily knocked down, then why do they provoke, like in the above? Such a Tease. Do they enjoy g...

He is not into BDSM but something else. My advise is to dump him, he's dangerous. I once remember, a girl giving me signs to finger her, I silently grabbed her throat in a trying but not really testing grip just to feel how it was to hold another person's life in your hands. I may add that I'm a ta...

Ha! Cretins, it has to do with Attitude, and not about ropes and handcuffs. Real BDSM is making a woman 'want to' say, 'please have me' or 'do with me as you please'. If there is trust, without spoken negotiations, asking for effete permissions, and such mercantile contracts, then we have something....

Marriage and a woman's decision to change her name. Something I never thought of as I exchanged vows. I was now married to the man of my choice and taking his name had nothing to do with being "oppressed" and it never felt like it was archaic. I never had strong feelings about keeping my ...

Is it ethical for a heterosexual man who wants children of his own to pay a woman to have a baby and then have her give up full custody? I've always wanted children, and i've been lately having a strong fatherly instinct as a woman would have a motherly instinct. I personally understand being more ...

Intellectual history? Now, I'll assume you are a man, given your sexist comments against women. As a result, since your statements are irrational, you provide some evidence that men are not intellectually superior to women. It's hard to imagine any woman writing anything dumber than you have. Let's...

Culture is extracted out of a powerful and wise man's "personality", out of his persona and person. So Nietzschean! Yes. So you could say the genius or the culture-creator does not have a personality [according to the perspective you employ] as he Fluidly re-presents the sum-total of all ...

Each of us is a human being, and we all share the same problems in life. We are literally bounded by our mutual struggle to survive and find meaning in this life. Why anyone would decide to make life even more difficult than it already is for some targeted group is beyond me. Lets assume we all sha...

The only resemblance between the Nazi regime and the ancient Greeks was superficial. There's much to be said on that; and when Heidegger said it, we all know what happened to him :wink: http://books.google.co.in/books?id=ECJmNflY21IC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=o...
