I don't dispute that non-consensual sex is harmful. However, consensual sex with minors is only "harmful" because of society's medieval attitude about it. Kids who have sex are led to believe it's naughty and that becomes ingrained, and then when they're older they've been led all their lives to...

Personally, I don't care about dead people. Corpses are just so much - potentially useful, granted - meat to me. However, I am in favour of the right to decide what happens to one's property after death however, and property includes one's organs and blood (which one should also be entitled...

Once again, Jack Jack understands beautifully. @ Aura Guardian: I don't dispute the concept of responsibility. I dispute the idea that sex is for absolutely everyone such a huge deal that it would be inherently irresponsible to do it before an arbitrary age. If an eleven year old has the...

@ Aura Guardian: who are you to decide what's irresponsible and impose rules to enforce it? If a teenager wants to fuck his teacher, it's between the two of them and no one else. That's all there is to it. @ Fatecrashers: WHAT you do to animals is irrelevant. What matters is that we own them...

How you choose to put animals to death is totally irrelevant. The simple fact is, we consider them to be lesser creatures and we decide what rights they have. It's hypocritical to ban one form of using an animal for pleasure and not the others, justifying it with some ridiculous rationalization...

Whether or not animals can - or have the right to - consent is a completely different matter. Since we eat them and harvest their skins I figure they have no rights beyond what we grant them, and if someone wants to buy a sheep to fuck he has every right. As for paedophilia, there's even less...

Going with the majority is always tyranny. Some examples are less harmful or distasteful than others, but don't pretend that just because most people see it as reasonable, those who disagree are over-reacting. Question: why does no one point out that the logic behind society's growing...

Right, but Jack Jack did not claim to never have heard of homophobia. He's just saying he hears a lot more about racism.

Why shouldn't one be allowed to finance the distribution and use of drugs? Why shouldn't you be allowed to harm yourself if that's what you want? I'm unsure what you mean by "possibly damaging the environment". Do you mean the propensity for areas of widespread drug use to become slums? If so...

After the Night Angel Trilogy I returned to Brandon Sanderson, whose work I covered a few pages back. It was "Warbreaker", and it has some fairly interesting similarities to the Night Angel trilogy in that a lot goes on at once, but the difference is it's all absolutely necessary to the plot and...

So I finished "The Night Angel" trilogy, and a few words that spring to mind are underwhelming, anticlimactic, ass pull, talentless hack. The first in the trilogy was a very interesting read. It had a very atypical protagonist and a dozen atypical supporting characters. About the only character...

Personal freedom (in this context, I mean the freedom to do what you like to yourself, not the freedom to go on a shooting rampage) is something I consider fundamental. To me, you simply can't reduce it without making it absolutely worthless. That's why banning (or otherwise attempting to...

I'm assuming you'd recently taken a blow to the head when you posted this.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I see no difference between the despot who bans dissent and the despot who bans drugs. Nor any difference between the enforcing arms of both despots.

I was pointing out to the poster who had a problem with my putting the lives of drug dealers above the lives of those who would obstruct them that we don't all share the same values. @ Tubaking - there's a difference between not wanting someone you care about to die and believing in an...

We don't all believe in a concept of "sanctity of life".

Agreed, as many TS/TGs like to say, gender, like sexuality, is a spectrum. Beyond cis/trans males or females, there're ambiguities that currently haven't been given a name. However, these people are irregulars - if you're a physically normal male who happens to dislike that condition, I'm not...

It depends on whether or not I'm allowed to stay in the time of my choosing. If so, I'd go way ahead until medical technology has improved to the point where we can modify our bodies easily and cheaply: presumably I'd also have to travel far enough past that point that all the retards and moral...

You spoke in terms of absolutes. Your use of the words "even by our standards" does not change the fact that you are implying an objective system of morality by which Hitler is undeniably evil. As I already said, there was good and bad to (and from) Hitler and his actions. EDIT: I note that...

I quoted your post to show you where you had appealed to popularity, assuming you had merely forgotten your former delusions after being corrected. As for believing Hitler is good; like I said earlier, I can't approve of someone who'd poison his dog. That's not to say I'm not grateful for a lot...
