Well, being white trash, my parents started my family, quite accidentally at 19. My oldest brother is 19 years younger than our parents. My mom didn't stop there though, my youngest sibling is six right now. My brother had a kid at twenty, and he is two years older than my youngest sibling. My older sister also had a kid at twenty. She is a single parent now, and hasn't gone through even high school, nor does she seem to plan to. My brother doesn't see his kid.

I am extremely happy that I have had no children, nor do I have any plans to. If I do, it definitely won't be until I'm in my later thirties, at the least.

From my experience, starting a family before you have situated yourself financially, and gotten all the education you plan to is a bad idea. So, I agree. One needs their head examined for having children before thirty.

I don't give two shits if I live to see my grand kids. I hate kids, I don't want kids at all. I only leave the possibility of being talked into it opened.

Also, my grandmother hates me.

It isn't according to me. You don't need to go to a church, or go through any organization to get married. You can just fill out the paper work, and see a judge. This is a purely secular contract, and agreement. Also, since homosexuals can do this in Canada, and in other parts of Europe, and even in the united states now, I think that just as many, if not more people agree with me. So it is hardly according to me. It is merely a definition of the term that is better, because it is inclusive, and nothing is lost, only gained.

Your point? Are there no other exclusive terms? Hey Mitchell let's become nuns and join a nunnery!

Since they're already called marriages, I guess not. You don't get to "decide" tradition like that. Plus mixed-race marriage has a VERY long history so if you want to argue whether it qualifies as traditional I think the argument can be made that it does. Not that it matters.

No what's absurd is your attempt to say marriage as we know it today has no basis in tradition. By the way, monogamous pairings in the animal world predate humans by a good bit more than a million years.

It's exclusive, and says that marriage is only for this one group. Shouldn't we also call mixed race marriages something else, they aren't very traditional.

I'm surpized no one has mentioned this (or I missed it) but the analogy between alcohol and guns is so obviously fallacious because if you introduce vehicles into the equation, then conversely you should be able to introduce alcohol into the equation for gun violence. Surely loss of inhibition makes one more likely to reach for that gun. In both cases, the alcohol is the enabler, not the weapon.

The difference is that vehicles are not made to kill anything. Unless some army things, with guns mounted on the side or something. Guns are made specifically to kill. Any amount of target practicing one does is merely preparation for the real thing.

There is absolutely no reason for anyone to have a gun of ANY KIND inside city limits, or in an area with a certain population density.

Target ranges could supply the guns, and hunting ranges as well. Or if you prefer to hunt in the wild, then along with getting your hunting license they could rent guns, that you only use for your hunting, and then return when you are done.

It is just absurd to use target practicing and hunting for an excuse to take any gun, of anykind into a city, or a largely populated area, where neither can be preformed.

I don't think that "fixes" exist. Nor do I think that abstractions based on my own arm chair reasoning will translate all that accurately onto reality. I may think that I'm pretty great, but not so great that I can sit there and solve all the worlds problems from my living room.

As I said. I am interested in moving towards plans that I think will improve our situations. I have goals in mind, but it will take more than just the power of my own mind (no matter how great that is(-_^) ), but the cooperation and involvement of all of society. I am deeply democratic, and want as many people having a sway over the decisions made as possible. Despite not being able to avoid thinking my decisions are better than most other peoples, I understand that it is based on my own value judgments, and thus do not desire anymore than my fair share of sway of any given societal decisions.

The best I can do, if I feel ardently about it, is argue to try to get more people to agree with me.

I think that ideally. If we were all removed from the world, and allowed to design our own society, and then would be randomly placed within it somewhere...that we would all chose the fairest, and one with the most opportunity for everyone, no matter where you are in it. Just in case.

I said numerous times that I think that social government run programs, and goals set, by the people, and given the opportunity to attain them within reason.

This requires more than profit as the number one and only goal. We must be willing to take a lose on some programs.

I have no specific solutions to any problems. I think that an overarching way to improve them all, is for society to actively strive for that goal, and above all other goals.

I don't suggest that I have magic fixes, or solutions. What I do do is support the democrats and the liberals as having what I think to be the best of the plans to combat them.

You're right. You denounced the anecdote, and specifically said that you didn't agree with it. I wrongfully lumped you in with the several other posters that are saying exactly that, and I apologize.

Cynical = "it's all their own fault" condescending = "they should just work harder, like me" narcissistic = "everything I have is the result of 100% my own doing, and situation has nothing to do with it. The only reason I'm not among the poverty stricken is because I'm so damn great".

Not everyone desires to be rich and powerful. Not everyone's interests involve what our omniscient and perfect goal setter, The All Mighty Market, deems worthy.

I'll never be rich, and I have no plans to try to be. If I did, I would be a televangelist.

I instead want to be happy, and not spend half of my day for the rest of my life doing something I hate. We only get one life, so society ought to be set up to maximize happiness, and limit suffering. Not maximize profits, at the cost of all else.

That's just silly Al. Do you have a magic plan to solve all the worlds problems?

There will always be problems, and the problems we face today have persisted for millennia. The best we can try to do is improve our situations, not fix. As human beings we aren't privy to perfection, in knowledge, society, or anything else. The best we can do is improve, improve, improve.

I think that all of the problems mentioned can be offset by some degree...don't you? Don't you think they ought to be?

Instead of sweeping it under the carpet, and murmuring some nonsense about how the lazy bastards deserve their problems, don't you think that an honest assessment, and a desire to improve is best?

The cynical, condescending, and narcissistic approach some people seem to be taking to this is baffling.

I am not in favor of some Orwellian, Star Trek state. Where everything is owned by the government, and personal liberties, and people's desires, and rights to pursue The Good, stifled. Not in a long shot.

Both conservatives and liberals want to help the less fortunate, and want to improve the state of the world. Conservatives donate considerably more money and time to charities than liberals do. This is because conservatives want such things to be handled privately, with no interference from the government, while liberals just want to pay more taxes, and have government programs take care of it. We both want the same things, we just disagree on how to acquire them.

I'd rather not get into partisan discussions about politics were every few posts I'm placed along side murderers and villains, because the approach I advocate is different.

I think that government programs are easier to maintain, and subject to more restraints, and conditions, than privately run ones. They are both corruptible, and are both corrupt. I just trust government run programs more than privately run ones.

I found it highly presumptuous to turn the conversation so quickly from the issue BS was attempting to discuss to her sexuality, and personal life so abruptly, and invasively. Clearly the way she attempted to stay on topic should have sent some people a hint that it is none of your damn business (no matter how interesting).

One thing I can't say I wasn't pleased with, was the display that Fanusi put on. I found it...position affirming. I've always been told that it is only superficially, and the forefront of conservatism that is bat-shit crazy. Though I find the purportedly sane conservatives to be just about has hard to find as "moderate muslims".

I think Al is the real victim in this. He's the captain of a ship that's been out at sea a few months, and his crew has been partaking of the led-sealed can foods. I just wonder if he feels himself slipping, or if he puzzles at the mad hattery that surrounds him.

In any case, it must get annoying when the people you find yourself agreeing with most, seem to have a nest egg of crazy, they're perpetually warming just under their seats.

Comment #243516 by Wosret on September 6, 2008 at 4:37 am

Oh, I'll answer all those questions about sexuality.

I consider it often. I spend a rather large chunk of my day either reading about, watching, or talking with, open homosexuals/bi-sexuals. It's rather unavoidable that I consider their position, and what their life would be like.

All the porn I watch is 100% girl/girl. The closest I get to guys in porn are futanari, (Japanese compound word, meaning "two forms". Which can be either male or female with sexual organs of both sexes, but in this guess I'm talkin' bout chicks with dicks.) in hentai (english slang of the Japanese word for "pervert" which refers to anime porn), which can sometimes be enjoyable. I greatly prefer just girls, and without any equipment. I don't like guys in my porn, not because I'm grossed out though, I just don't find it particularly appealing. I prefer anime porn, but I watch live action stuff as well. I like anime better because the acting is better, and I want to see girls that are actually predominantly attracted to other girls, and not just doing it for a paycheck. I find it hard to find live-action porn that I think is convincing enough, though I do have some.

10 million dollars? There isn't much that I wouldn't do for that, and sex with a man I'd do for a lot less. The people on fear factor do far worse for 50 thousand, and they don't even have it guaranteed, they do it for a chance at fifty thousand. Dead cow penis, that I have to ingest, or living human penis? It's a toss up. I'm a vegetarian though, and I wouldn't want to sully my two years without eating animals.

Seriously though, I have no repulsion to homosexuality. I've yet to find any guys particularly attractive. If I did though, I definitely would try not to let any social stigma inhibit my actions that followed, and I wouldn't worry about what demographic I now fit into. There is strong statistical evidence that the majority of people are bi-sexual to some degree, or to put it better, as Bonzai did: sexuality is dynamic, fluid, and a continuum. If I were stuck on an island with only guys for a sufficient length of time, I would probably find that side of myself eventually.

Better mention the movie now, for good measure. If you were able to read this far. I think hollywood movies blow, so I think this will be no exception.

I'm a left-wing, tree-huggin', liberal, you now I'll agree with that. Though I contend that that is not his reason. He preaches reduced government, and government intervention at home and abroad. Does he not? That seems like rationalization more than reasoning to me. He is a libertarian, it goes without saying that he wants to reduce such things. So, coincidental. We can quibble over whether I've putting the cart before the horse, but I think that it is at least debatable which is the case.

I don't care about Obama's vacuous change rhetoric. What I do care about is that he consults with experts, and follows their advise, that he is the least religious of them, and is the most intellectual. He agrees with me on social fronts, and for the same reasons, he also holds by far the least about of insane views.

This is of course all dwarfed by my fear of another right-wing conservative christian in the supreme court. I don't want to see a 5/4 swing in their favor. This, I think, is hugely important, and by far the most important issue in this election.

I'm Canadian though, and our election is coming up soon as well. The best I can hope for is to keep Harper in a minority government...there is no way the liberals will win. There is even talk that he might get a majority government...I'm worried about both elections. I think in both cases, we are simply trying to keep the wolves at bay.

In any case, I have to do some work now. Also, your engaging me as frightened me, and I must retreat! Perhaps when I've done in a few hours, I'll have regained the courage to continue.

I also deeply fear that this cynical, and unscrupulous move on the part of McCain will win him lots of votes. The man wants to be president so badly that he seems to be willing to do, or say just about anything.

His famed "straight talk express" has long since taken the scenic root down bullshit drive.

Obama may not be perfect, or live up to his hype, but at least he seems willing to listen to experts, isn't a crazy person, and is not likely to start or perpetuate any unnecessary wars.

You can't expect a Nietzchenian ubermeister to be on the ticket. You only have mere mortals to choose from.

As my brother told me when I sent him the trailer, "so, you're essentially Jesus of the catholic church".

If you watch the ted talk he clearly describes players as gods. This is directed evolution. Evolution without Darwinian mechanisms.

I agree. It's when evolution becomes second nature to everything that involves life, that people will get used to it, to expect it, and to not even think about it. As it says in the article, to just accept it like they do gravity. It won't be an alien concept only for scientists.

I see this more and more, and I like it. Everything that has life in it, and discusses species, and origins should always include evolution.

I think this is excellent, and I can't wait to play it. Personally, I think that anyone who criticizes this for not being accurate, or thinks it ought to be accurate or it will be confusing, doesn't play video games. I really don't think many gamers play video games thinking that what they are seeing accurately describes reality.

I wonder if you have the option of staying in the water, and evolving into an intelligent society in the water. They seemed to imply no, but I hope you can.
