(1) I think if we relax on issues of nudity and sex that many of our societal problems, including unwanted pregnancy and rape, would finally be solved. By relax, I mean natural exposures of nudity and sex to people of ALL ages, including children.
(2) I think people should be liscenced to breed, vote, carry arms, and raise children. Simply put, I have no faith in open democracy.
(3) I think certain ethnic groups are underrepresented. When was the last time you saw a hollywood made movie where the asian hero of the story got the girl? A friend of mine pointed this out to me while I was in college. Since then, I started paying attention and found that he's completely correct.
(4) I think Harry Potter is boring. Heck, I think LOTR is boring.
(5) I think they should relax a little on copyright laws regarding music, software, and movies. I payed big bucks for visual c++ .net, damn it, and I should be able to install it as many times as I want. As it turned out, I could only install it a few times before it becomes useless.
(6) Holloween should be a month long thing rather than just a single day. People should be encouraged to have more fun in life!
(7) Our founding fathers never intended for this country to have political parties and professional politicians. They intended for our country to have ordinary but intelligent people to hold public office for a few years and then step down for others to take their places. Instead, we are getting millionaire and billionaire dumbasses, hypocrites, and opportunists as our representatives. Perhaps it's about time we hold a second revolution?

Re: on the shady side of the street

As a 10 year old, I was surrounded in the woods by the group of boys who I thought were my friends and ordered to undress. They only let me go when I started to cry and yell my head off.
As a naive young teenager I had gotten into some sketchy situations with boys where things were done to me of a sexual nature that I did not invite and that were frightening.
I've had my ass grabbed as I walked through a crowded night club.
I've had men yell all sorts of disgusting things at me from their cars as I walked on the sidewalk, and also street harassment from male pedestrians, men sitting on benches, etc.
I've been stalked, and many of my friends have been at some point, too. One friend's stalker slashed the window screens of her room and attacked her with a knife as she walked to her car. The police didn't take this threat seriously until she was attacked.
I have several woman friends who were molested by male family members.
I've known several women who were raped, one by a stranger and one by a boyfriend.
You know, I could have sworn only gays were capable of molesting and raping other people.
Added by edit.
Anyway, I was going to ask how or where the rape issue came up when I noticed message #88.
Edited by gasby, : No reason given.

What I think is irrelevant.
What you think is irrelevant.
What the Immaterial Pink Unicorn thinks... now that's controversial!

I wonder, scottness, can you ever bring yourself to talk in a linear fashion or must you always talk in cryptic almost nonsensical evangelistic phrases?

Would it be more convenient for you to continue believing what it is you believe if I did?
And the point is?
I try my best to speak very clearly. Linear thinking is one dimensional. If you want to understand reality, you must broaden your thinking. Don't be so black and white! (eg. stop condemning Bush you fascist ).
We haven't even begun to have a debate and you are already misrepresenting what I said. Since when did I imply that we should think in a linear fashion?
For the moment, I'm not here to disagree with you or to debate with you. The question I asked was relatively simple. Do you always talk in such cryptic phrases?
I think I read somewhere on here that some people talk like fortune cookies. Are you one of those that prefer to communicate like a fortune cookie?
