Athenian Republics wrote:I really don't get what the big deal is. Have a joint, grab a cold beer, I mean really. Let's think logically here. Out of all the privately owned firearms in the United states (about 280-300m), there are 32,000 or so firearm related deaths. Assuming one death per firearm, 32,000 calculates into 0.01% of all privately owned firearms. Thats not even one percent. Not to dismiss those unneccesary deaths but seriously 0.01 percent. That's so infinitesimally small it's not even funny. 0.01% really isin't a problem.

Besides, advocating a disarmed society to some degree is essentially advocating regression the human race back to the dark ages. Where dirt poor serfs were essentially unarmed and where the rich held all the power and arms. When pleas for change didn't work and revolt was the only option, they didn't stand a chance.
You have to ask yourself. Is a society where the rich upper political class holds a monopoly on the ability to commit violence a really good idea? How many private citizens organized world wars, starvation and mass genocides?

NSG, stop that.

Freiheit Reich, take your raging transphobia/homophobia somewhere else where it will be on topic. Everybody else, QUIT PROPAGATING THE THREADJACK BY ARGUING IT WITH HIM. Seriously.

The topic: A homosexual Dutch couple has adopted a Turkish child who was taken away from neglectful parents, who are raising a stink about the kid being raised by omg teh gays.

NOT the topic: Freiheit's openmindedness or lack thereof; Freiheit's pervasive fear of possibly ever encountering the scary, scaaaary transsexuals or homosexuals; whether or not homosexuality is a mental illness; whether or not transsexuality is a mental illness; the liberal bias of the APA vs NARTH; the scientific credibility of NARTH, and so on. Some of these things already have their own topics where you can go argue it until you're blue in the face.

C'mon guys. Homosexual Dutch people raising a Turkish child. This is not rocket science!

This one was pretty good:

Ailiailia wrote:I read the first page, expecting the OP to post again with something like "oops, I forgot the US isn't the only free country. X and Y poster make good points."
Then I read the second page, expecting the OP to post again with something like "wow, that really was stupid of me. I'm a bit drunk."
Then I read the third page, with diminishing hope that the OP would post again at all. The hole were they used to be was getting well-like.
Then I read the fourth page, not really expecting anything from the OP but marvelling at the banter which might actually coalesce into some kind of alternative topic.

Then I read and posted to the fifth page, against my better judgement perhaps. I'm not sure what a TET really is (something to do with the Tet Offensive perhaps?) but I'm rather concerned I might be part of one.

I'm dreaming of a Mod script where if the OP doesn't post again (replying to replies) in the first two pages, the thread would auto-lock. Save a mod from having to do it.

Swith Witherward wrote:Now see... the problem with that is I've gamed with Bones far too long. He's a warped individual (which I thoroughly appreciate) but I know what he does to characters! I know! I KNOW! I know.

The heavens weep in elucidate understanding of his twisted capacity to inflict humiliation and pain (oh the sweet, sweet pain) upon the gullible player unwise enough to place their character’s fate in his eager little hands. I pause and reflect upon the opportunity for epic humor but then quell at the prospect of waking to find my character suspended aloft, dangling precariously from a monofilament wire and, coincidentally, stripped bare and ornamented with vulgar quotes written with permanent marker upon her entire body. Failing that, she would be found wandering the halls in a comically garish cow costume from which swayed a “EAT MOR CHIKIN” placard.

No, ‘tis better for all that my sweet, well-meaning character be fated to Dexter who will presumably give her a good fucking before sending her on her way without so much as a muttered “thanks”. The chances of repercussions after an encounter with an angry Khornate Renegade Marine are far preferable to any shenanigans inflicted upon her by Bones’ capricious imagination.


That said, Bones' wit and creativity at times astound me to the point where I scream like a Justin Bieber fan and pledge to have his babies after particularly epic posts.


Elytran wrote:I haven't read through all of these posts, but from the original post, I have to disagree with the idea that boys aren't taught it's okay to rape. I think that the definition of rape is generally misunderstood by many people, men and women alike, so what we get taught not to do isn't really the entire scope of rape. Rape is any non-consenting sex, whether it's man-woman, woman-man, woman-woman, man-man, or otherwise. In theory, they should all be treated the same. There is the idea that males would be less harmed by a woman "raping" them because "he'd want it anyways", but that's just stupidity.

Society in general, media especially, tend to teach "don't get raped" instead of "don't rape". With the Ohio case just recently, CNN and the other news networks were sympathizing with the rapists. They were star athletes, on their way to fame, why did this happen to them? Yet, they raped the girl. Instead, it was pinned more on her for getting drunk. That's rape culture—it's your fault for getting raped, not theirs for raping you.

Women get blamed for getting raped all the time. Swaziland, if I recall correctly, banned mini-skirts, low-rise jeans, and other "rape provoking" clothing because in their government's eyes, at the very least, men cannot be held accountable for their actions if the woman looks a certain way. This is something that we do just about everywhere, really. In the US, there was an episode of "What Would You Do?" where a woman was jogging in a sports bra and workout pants. More than one man commented that if she didn't want to be looked at or have advances made on her, she wouldn't be dressed that way.

It is astoundingly normal for boys and men to have a sense of entitlement like that. Few people are taught outright that rape is okay, but the way that it gets spun around makes it seem like it's the girls' fault unless the man is just a sadistic monster that everyone wants to persecute. The "boys will be boys" rule really speaks to that. It's okay for boys to go messing around, because boys will be boys, but the second a girl does it she's branded as a slut and a whore.

There's a large double-standard. I think that the real problem is how media portrays women on a regular basis—sexual objects meant for men's pleasure, or just eye candy—and how that is perceived by our youth. If all you ever hear is music that talks about women being strictly for sex/pleasure, and how you're allowed to do what you want with them, how're you gonna honestly not act on that belief? It is unfair to boys and men in general, because they are basically conditioned to do one thing that we condemn in a way, but promote in another. It's more unfair to women because a) they are the ones who are being victimized more often than not, and b) the blame gets put on them in most cases for provoking such things. B) openly implies that men's natural state is rapist, and that they have to consciously not rape someone, which is also ridiculous.

It's a very tricky subject, I think, and it gets handled with double standards depending on the situation. It's really unfortunate.

Sorry if that was off-base/reiterating what anyone else already said—just my two cents.
