Topic: Removal of my sig pic

[Dizzy]

Ok, Tracy, pic one of those pics and ill delete the other from my site. I need the space. Thanks for the praise, it was all my pleasure. I'll take my knife to you anytime.

[SkyFlyer]

Sure, go ahead, post your baby pics, but please, no diaper changing pics.

Uhm... well... I was talking about current ones.

The mere act of demonstration on the part of an opposing crowd in no way endangers my way of life, thus I wouldn't care if they demonstrated 'till they were blue in the face. However, the big rub comes in if said opposing group seeks to legislate against my way of life. It's at that point when I come out swingin'... with my voter registration card.

Then by your own argument, legislation in regard to marriage laws of any kind, be they monogamous, same sex or polygamous is contrary to your viewpoint. Furthermore, legislation in regard to nudity also falls by the wayside. Well done, you have taken the position of a true libertarian, I salute your astuteness for throwing off the shackles of your society's brainwashing

When pigs fly I'll let ya know

All kidding aside, though, my personality and beliefs tend toward monogamy regardless of any sort of wonder drugs and preventative measures. I would prefer to remain faithful to the same mate for the full duration of my natural life. To me it's a more appealing, fulfilling, and life-affirming lifestyle and it's what I look forward to in my future. Of course, that's just me and I don't expect anyone to act and believe just like me. As far as anyone else is concerned, to each his own as long as the way of life that I adhere to is not endangered and my right to disagree is not infringed upon. In brief: no, my views would not change because there are many results of sex that exist outside of the physical and lie within the emotional, and there's no possible wonder drug that can fix hurt feelings and emotional scarring.

Now enough is of this mushy philosophical nonsense. Let's git back to our regularly scheduled flamin' and killin' eachother on the Dyna

Good point you make here, although would you permit others who hold disimilar views to freely voice and demonstrate such views in public?

 Tracy i seriously doubt it. I got negative 6 Karma for just voicing my opinion.

 Kind of shows you the mindset of these people when differing opinions on a subject, are subject to reprisals.

 The same goes For Le Roy and others who don't support my position and getting negative Karma. What we cant have a discussion like adults with out somebody acting like a baby?

 Giving out negative Karma for reasons like this are plain childish.

I got -93 for it... the other one... well I was being an ass

  I feel exactly the same way.

Well put, JD and Crim. Religion aside, logic dictates that a lax attitude toward sex inevitably leads to various hardships such as teen-age parenthood, chronic disease, and ,in the worst case, death. Unfortunately for the poor people involved, numerous instances have demonstrated that sex quite literally can kill. I'll grant you, Kroma, ignorance concerning sex doesn't prevent any of these things, but may actually aggravate the situation in many cases. In fact, I refuse to have any sort of sexual intercourse outside of marriage just because I'm familiar with the subject and am well aware of the potential consequences of sex, both good and ill. However, it doesn't necessarily follow that knowledge about sex translates directly into iron-clad protection from the repercussions thereof. Sex is a wonderful thing and it has its purpose, but, like anything else, if it's treated too lightly someone's gonna get hurt one way or the other.

If tomorrow, a new wonder drug was invented that removed the threat of all sexually transmissable disease and a foolproof method of complete birth control made available to absolutely every single person on this planet, would you still hold the same views?

Yes.

 I agree with Crim, and here's why. 

Even if there was a foolproof method of birth control (besides celibacy), there still wouldn't be a foolproof disease blocker.

So no one cares about my nude pics? ah well...

as long as they ain't of you, post away!

"There is no such thing as a condom for your emotions"...

 While you are a fine young man Sky. You are the wrong sex .

What if I had the little black bar?

Nevermind, it would cover 99% of the screen

"There is no such thing as a condom for your emotions"...

This is another whole ball game and falls into the rather large field of Developmental Psychology, which is not exactly a true science. All kinds of anthropological and social issues play a role here as well.

I am reminded of a short science fiction story I read once about an entire civilisation who lived underground because the surface had been poisoned. Over time, nature reclaimed the planet and it became habitable, however, the occupants of the underground cities continued to live underground having been 'brought up' in a culture where it was considered 'taboo' to go outside. When finally the disidants won out against this seemingly arbitrary crime and reached the surfaced... they all went mad. They had never seen sky before, nor had they ever been in a room that did not have a ceiling or four walls. The sight of limitless space had become incomprehensible to their senses and they had difficulty adapting, similar to space sickness where astronauts lose their bearings without an up and down reference point.

We are just as much a product of our cultural socialisation as we are og genetic inheritence... its not nature vs. nurture but a combination of both. Of course, these are all extrinsic arguments though.

You are almost all the way there LeRoy. Now would you allow them to not only hold those views and demonstrate in support of them, but actually live by them? Thus is it not only OK to want to look at cartoon boobies and protest the right to cartoon boobies, but actually look at cartoon boobies.

Hey JD since we know you are counting instead of making the intrinsic moral arguments (just as was predicted) that makes 3 more.

Listen here kid.    You better not have any nude pics, and you better not be showing people if you do !!!!

At least wait until you are legal, and make sure you know who (and what) you are sending them to !
