Feminist type.

Yeah, so you wait for something that won't happen until after we're all dead (if at all) and I'll go live and love in the present.

And by the way, you're still wrong about women, self-respect and sex.

All relationships turn sour, all love dies. Then, you'll just use the secrets you learned from intimacy to destroy each other's lives.

Friendship and love can only lead to betrayal and suffering.

Or, you know you can be this new thing called "nice" and act as you would before the relationships begun - to make each other happy (or to stop your life being ruined - if you dont care about friends) and keep those secrets to yourself?

[Odins Scandinavia]

Humans are mostly the same. The differences are exaggerated. What's good for one is very likely to be what's good for almost all.

really? i take AD/HD medicine. does that mean everyone should take AD/HD medicine? how about antipsychotics? or perhaps its good for one person to do MMA, but not for the person with osteoporosis, now is it?

4ST should really respond to this.. since it makes his assertion that whats good for me is good for everyone go down the shitter.

My parents were happily married for 32 years before they died.

[Four-sided Triangles]

Bullshit. You're just afraid to take a chance on people so you tell yourself this to rationalize and justify your fears.

Fine. Tell me how to trust people. How do you know that they aren't plotting against you? How do you know that everything they say is truthful? How do you know your love or friendship will last? Every other human being is my potential murderer. I don't even trust my mother and father completely.

Indeed.

[Four-sided Triangles]

They never fought?

[Seibertron]

I don't see that happening.

Just wait until transhumanism comes along in the next few centuries.

Actually we have sex for recreation and sometimes eating too. Why would we use transhumanism to remove fun?
edit:
You'd probably use Transhumanism to remove thoughts which may lead to removing emotion like the Daleks or Cybermen, but I am not a freak who is afraid of cyborg or robot takeover, but using it to remove sexual thoughts is just wrong.
You still fail to answer why thoughts that are not acted are offensive.

And what if they did?

[Four-sided Triangles]

And what if they did?

Then they weren't happily married.

You spend years getting to know a person and maybe, eventually, you'll trust them if they spent those years demonstrating that they're worth it.

I can't really tell you how to trust people. Trust is something you develop over time. You have to take a chance on people, mind you. You don't get to just look at someone from afar and go "I bet they're trustworthy" and expect it to work. There's no test a person can take that will tell you right away if it will work. The only way you get to figure out if you can trust a person is by giving them the opportunity to show you that they're worthy of your trust.

Of course, this means taking a risk and this is what you (very obviously) fear.

[Norstal]

And what if they did?

Then they weren't happily married.

1 fight makes a 32 years marriage unhappy?

Damn, that's some really bad statistics.

[Farnhamia]

And what if they did?

By your own admission, what do you know about human relationships?

Oh, you see, it's all in books...

[The Black Forrest]

That was rather ignorant.

It's ok to fight. You can fight with a person and still trust them.

I approve of what this Gaylord said.

[Imsogone]

I hope this topic doesn't degenerate into arguments about my view of sex.

Okay, I hold to feminism, but a very unconventional form of it. I have three positions were are all considered controversial in feminism, but none of them are universally rejected.

1. I do not think that sex is a good thing, and I do not think that women "empower" themselves through promiscuity. Women empower themselves through self-respect and through earning the respect of others.

2. I think that some degree of biological essentialism HAS TO BE true. It's absurd to suggest that there are no statistical psychological differences between the genders, given that sexual dimorphism is universal in mammals. Most men are better than most women at spatial reasoning, probably for fundamentally biological reasons. Most women are better at multitasking and verbal communication, also likely for biological reasons. Of course, these differences are STATISTICAL which means that we still have to evaluate people as individuals.

3. I don't like the language of "equality." I don't think we're all equal. We're not equal in ability. We're not equal in moral character. We're not equal in importance. I think the real way to oppose racism, sexism, and homophobia is not with the idea that we're all equal, because we're not. The real way to oppose prejudice is to hold that we should judge people as individuals, rather than according to the arbitrary demographics they happen to belong to.

What kind of feminist would you say that I am?

And no, I'm not female. I'm a heterosexual male. If that means I can't be a feminist, then what kind of feminist would I be if I held these views and was a woman?

The problem with the "language of equality" is not that it is necessarily wrong, but that it oversimplifies things. I am, as you've pointed out, better than many people at some things. Some people are better than me. I would never contend that I'm the same as a man, but there are areas where I am. What the language of equality should say is something like this. We are equal before the law, we have equal opportunity, we will all get the same recompense for equal labor and our labor will not be valued differently just because some jobs are regarded as "women's works" and others as "men's work". Truthfully, if we were evaluating properly, some so-called "women's work" like child-rearing, nursing and teaching would be regarded as superior to (and therefore better paid) so-called "men's work" like fighting wars, flying planes and driving race cars. (Interesting, though unrelated, side note here, have you ever noticed that a good bit of what is considered men's work is a lot more fun/exciting/adventurous/higher status than what is considered women's work?)

I've even considered the possibility of my mother poisoning me a few times because she seemed slightly annoyed. I was also convinced that I may have been betrayed by them when I turned 18, since they're no longer legally obligated to me.

If I can't trust my own parents, who have always spoiled me and helped me in any way they can, how can I trust anyone else?

[Great Nepal]

Oh, you see, it's all in books...

Even in the books, 1 day out of 11315 days is not even a significant minority, as such doesn't count.

Apparently not. Seems we've been doing it wrong for tens of thousands of years. If only we'd known, back when I was a kid, we could have been doing science. Think where we'd be now!

[Four-sided Triangles]

You can fight with a person and still trust them.

Maybe you can. I can't even trust my own family.

Fortunately for humanity, most people aren't as paranoid as you are.

Your paranoia seems to be comparable to that of William Pierce, the author of the Turner Diaries.

If you get poisoned, then you get poisoned. Why fear of being poisoned and yet have self-loathing?

[Farnhamia]

Maybe you can. I can't even trust my own family.

I really think you need professional help. Seriously.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Agreed. Now kindly go get it and stop asking for our posters here to diagnose and 'prove' your views to you so you can somehow validate them via arguing against any naysayers.

Seriously, this is not a blog, and it is no substitute for the kind of help you seem to honestly need, according to the many posts, tg's and other such communications involved. And I mean that in a positive, hopefully constructive way, believe it or not.
