Well, jacob....I do think you are missing why Dino is so intent on proving his points, mainly because all his points been nothing but shut down since it was posted, except for me and like one or 2 other persons
since until they reach puberty they wouldn't have any sexual feelings.
this was your main point until I came along, I proved wrong, and you didnt even notice, in fact you started arguing more agressively, like this
:
|
'This is a debate not an argument'
'Debate'
To deliberate on; consider.
To dispute or argue about.
To discuss or argue (a question, for example) formally.
Obsolete. To fight or argue for or over.
Shush now.
|
word definitions AND shush?, come on....someone who does this is clearly NOT, trying to see the other person's view, if you were listening to his ideas you wouldnt CARE that he mis-used the word, because you obviously did see trough his mistake and reach the meaning as it is made clear in your next post.
someone who quotes a definition and then tells the other to shut up DESPITE completly understanding his message is desperately trying to make the other person shut up. scratch that, someone who quotes a definition only to follow it with a shut up can only be trying to make the other person SHUT UP!.
You have moved on. The initial statement was about children exploring their sexuality, this then moved on to the age of consent being abolished and adults being allowed to have relations with children.
No Jacob, you have moved on. actually you are the one who keeps bringing up adults ****ing children, if we touch the subject to it is just to respond to you.
you keep bringing up things like age limits. I mean..really, what could be more arbitrary? whoever personally enjoyed being expected to do something because of his age? seriously, it's not like: hey, my 13th birthday*poof* WOW curses werent after all!! hey my 18th birthday *poof* YAAAY, now I dont get scared with violence anymore! and boy, is it important to not have unsafe sex!!
....humans just dont get automatic emotional/mental updates when they have birthdays because that kind of growth doesnt happen overnight, so inevitably you will be either more mature than the prediction, or less mature than the prediction which flat out doesnt protect anyone.
-if you are more mature than the age limits predict, you will either just lose respect for society's authority figures for imposing them, or think there's something wrong with you because you want to do something ilegal.
-if you are less mature you will resent and fear society for pushing you to do something you dont care for, you will feel weird for not wanting it, and become more conflictive .
it's just a LOSE/LOSE situation
if hearing curses scares you, it will probably take a LOT more than being 13 to get over it, I never cared etiherway, my mom is above 40 and she is the only one in the house who gives a sh!t eitherway, it would take years and years of very carefully designed reconditioning to make her change if it is even posible, not a freaking birthday cake.
I mean, face it, age limits are imposed by people who are scared of raising kids with lifes richier than theirs, becauseit will render them morally inferior if their kids do things they didnt, it's just something designed by scared uptight individuals, for scared uptight individuals.
I keep getting the feeling you are thinking of THIS society, it's like you thought we were saying " HEY, let's go out to kindergardens and hand out textless kamasutra coloring books!! we'll SAVE THE WORLD!!" no.
stop thinking of it as MY society, forget about that for a moment, just A society, just like you say the Greek society, think the representative democracy society or whatever you want to call it.Think of this more of in terms of individual vs situation. stop thinking of it as...person and kid get laid, kids goes out to society and *snip* think of just the effect that getting laid will do to this kid, whitout the society, witout the stranger, you're the only one bringing that up, most of us are just thinking of honest, continual sex education..and if anything kid/kid relationships. nobody ever touched the adult/kid relationship before you did.
you are so incredibly biased in your actions you have to be filled with rage to not see it because it's so exageratedly obvious it's almost cartoony:
Jacob:And i'm sure if it was natural we'd see some form of it in nature, in the shape of pre-pubescant Chimps fondling each other, when we don't, we see Chimps that are the equivalents of teenagers doing that, but never younglings.
Dino:Chimps HAVE been seen fondling each other. Chimps of all ages. Same with monkeys, gorillas, and so on. They all screw and fondle each other, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, grandparents, literally everyone and anyone. It's quite repulsive, but it happens.
Jacob:So, just because animals do such things with families, are you saying we should allow such a thing also?
COME ON!!!
you propose a situation as a fact, you get proven astoundly wrong (not only their childs do it, but they do it with EVERYONE) and then you flat out accuse Dino of doing anything animals would because he posted the most logical responce to your unfounded speculation. THIS should is just way too evident for you to ignore. it not only proves your attitude, but that you are taking your prejudices as FACTS. which actually proves Dino right in his point of "society told you that"
It's also, in my opinion, pointless to bring up the animal agenda. Animals are a completely different specie to humans.
YOU BROUGHT IT UP!! Dino is blamed of being inconsequential because he responds yo what you bring up????
now, please...jacob, I think this flat out speaks for itself, I would like to belive your're someone I could talk to.
within all that abnegation and all that prejudice I did see some intersting points, such as that you dont think sex is so damned sensational, and yes, also your point about the emotional impact (even though I belive it is unfounded, it is thought provoking), but it just takes so many snap-back coments, and so many empty denials to get you to say anything intersting you do not allow an interesting conversation to go on.I do not want to be proven right every time I speak, I just want to tickle my mind with ideas that I dont get to speak about every day! I want to use conversation to explore and redefine my mindset.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
and now, just to get it off my chest and just release the tension, I am pretty amazed of how conditioned most people here is to automatically shut down new points of view, considering the series this forum is based on, first of all it tags you as a hardcore videogamer, one abnomrality, second one interested in plot and unusual gameplay, yet another sub-class of abnormality, third an unpopular and not well known class of game, another, fourth of the kind that can consider himself a fan very much like a "trekkie", and among that one who joins forums and actively discusses it, yet more rare, and even more so a relatively very unpopular type of forum.
after someone goes trough all this depth to discuss a simple fiction, I would think this person would be more open to something as simple as MAYBE kids should have some sex.
only 3 or 4 persons cared to consider the concept by itself( against it?, fair enough), whitout situating it in THIS society, all I could see was it's wrong it's wrong it's wrong....dont you remember hating your mom for her saying "it's wrong" about something she didnt even know shit about just because she was afraid of what bad things it could bring? dont you remember getting scolded for getting a violent game? have you gone wondering what it's like to scolding SO fast? do you even remember being a kid?......it is truly discouraging for me.
now, to something I found after this, jut after making a search for "child sexuality research" on google and finding only ONE site that wasnt about knocking down child abuse, and was actually about promoting a child sexuality book.
