  1. I see it is as more of a mental health issue, but I am sick of people, especially gun owners (and corporations and politicians) acting like we can blame it all on one big bad wolf. Banning insert thing here won't fix anything, we have issues with society and people that need a softer touch. People with mental illness need help, not persecution.

  2. My ex occasionally sent me porn when we were together. They continued to do so after we split up. We split up for reasons completely unrelated to porn. Maybe couples should watch porn together more often, it might help them get a feel for what each other are looking for or would like to try.

  3. I'm already in the middle. I'm a little bit racist, and offensive in general. I use the word retard to refer to the mentally impaired, not as an insult. Well, mostly myself. I don't hate other races/ gender/ religon,/ whatever, I'm just tired of having to constantly self censor because everything is a slur these days.

  4. Not every guy wants to be a leader, and I believe people should lead based on their qualities as a leader, not their gender. Maybe a certain guy is more suited to lead, but if a certain woman would make a better leader in a given situation, I wouldn't hesitate to put her in charge.

  5. Cuddles? Yes, you're right. Porn is fun, but it should never be allowed to get in the way of cuddling.

  6. i think like a liberal but act like a conservative. i'm open to new ideas, but usually end up going with what i know works. i believe that science and futurism is the way forward, but am very open to the idea of religion and spirituality, and often find interesting ways for my scientific and religious views to reinforce one another. i am not against rights such as gay marriage which mostly effect those who identify as what they are, but would actively defend someone's right to speak out against my point of view on that topic.

  7. The issue for me isn't in saying that men should be leaders. The issue for me is implying that women can't be. I appreciate a strong woman, and admire a woman who is willing and able to take the lead sometimes. Not every guy wants that in a partner, but I think it's overstepping to say that women should never lead.

  8. I watch porn, but my real addiction is far worse... Affectionate headpats.

  9. I own a gun simply because I enjoy shooting. I wouldn't feel unsafe without it. Is it disgusting that some people enjoy skydiving? It's a dangerous hobby too, but like many dangerous hobbies, the risk to self and others can be minimized by a responsible person. I keep it locked in a safe where it isn't a danger to anyone when I'm not using it.

  10. There are a lot of things people can get addicted to, no point in trying to ban them all. Not that bans work anyways. If you're really in favor of regulation, regulate the producer for using predatory practices rather than the consumer.

  11. We're not looking for a lighter gentler oppression. We just want to take all of the rich people's money at gunpoint.

  12. if i cannot fulfill all of my partner's needs, i encourage them to look elsewhere. all i ask is that they are open about their actions and that we continue to love one another and spend our lives together. i know there are things that i ask of them that they do not feel comfortable with, and they permit me to look elsewhere for respite. i always come back to them, and never lie about my activities.

  13. The BLM movement has some pretty serious flaws. Several of it's founding members are outspoken supporters of communism, and many BLM protests are followed by violent rioting and looting, if not from BLM itself, from other aligned far left organizations such as Antifa. You could name your organization 'Little Old Ladies for World Peace', but if your organization supports authoritarian idelogies and is frequently the cause (directly or not) of violence, the name doesn't change anything.

  14. No. Addiction is bad. You can have one without the other.

  15.  @marzipancutter8144  Yeah, that pretty much sums up my beliefs on regulation in a nutshell.

  16. A lot of things do. You can enjoy something without becoming addicted. Moderation is key.

  17. So? At least he has a job, that's more than a lot of kids his age can say.

  18. That's actually a fair point. I have lots of concerns about not being "good enough" for my partner, although porn was never a factor.

  19. I'm on the side of all lives matter. While I do believe that the lives of black people matter too, I don't support the BLM movement. Many of the people who do have nothing but good intentions, but it's leaders have some very questionable goals and ideologies, and the protests very frequently devolve into violent looting and rioting. This is not always the fault of BLM itself, but even when it is caused by another, more extreme far left group like Antifa, BLM protests (which often start peacefully) are usually the inciting event. As far as black people being discriminated against... It varies wildly from city to city and in what way, but from what I have seen, many claims of discrimination are either factually untrue, or based on skewed data. While black and hispanic people may indeed face more challenges on average, much of this is due to socio-economic status (wealth), as well as family and cultural influence.

  20. Doms are people too. Not subs though.

  21. Guns are a part of American culture, and the right to own them is a right covered in the same document as the one that protects free speech, the right to assemble, etc. Yeah, it's possible for a country to exist without any of those things, but taking away any one of them is unthinkable in the US. People care about their liberty here, and as strange as it may seem to an outsider, guns are a part of that. Guns are what built out country, allowed us to break away from the British empire, and the additude of guns being a part of our culture, for better or worse, has existed ever since.

  22. But it's fun.

  23. Educate, don't shelter. Yeah, don't enable, but it's going to be a lot more damaging when they invariably discover this stuff on their own, and aren't introduced to it in a responsible way. And yeah, 8 is too young for porn by a mile, but maybe not for education.

  24. I would love to be tied up, whipped, have hot wax poured down my backside, all of that, and I fail to comprehend how the hell any guy could enjoy being kicked in the balls.

  25.  @annettebonteri3234  I'm a guy. I like naughty things, I like being punished. I have a high tolerance for pain, but even a rather gentle smack to my man parts is beyond agonizing. I cannot comprehend how anyone could enjoy something so excruciating.

  26. His name is Maj Toure, he's a very eloquent speaker and runs a organization designed to educate people on the safe use of guns, and of conflict resolution. They focus on low income areas, especially areas with lots of people of color. The organization is called Black Guns Matter.

  27. Real psychics would rarely call themselves as such. Their powers are based in logic, deductive reasoning and an eye for subtle detail, not magic.

  28. I'll admit I was surprised. Even as someone who sees mental health as the biggest factor, and is not in favor of strict gun control, I don't see how someone can not see shootings as a gun issue.

  29. Europe has knife and vehicle based homicide instead. No matter what you ban, people will find a way. Keep in mind that the US's news outlets are very prone to covering anything even remotely resembling a story, so the bad stuff usually gets the spotlight front and center. This nationwide panic about shootings is largely a product of excessive and biased (in both directions) news coverage.

  30. i've lied to plenty of people when i told them that i loved them. i thought it was best for them if they thought that was the truth. in reality, i just felt bad for them because they were miserable in their lives. one of two i ever truly loved committed suicide because i ignored them, choosing alone time over being there for them when they desperately needed me to. i abandoned my family, my money, most of my material possessions and all of my friends to move thousands of miles and get with a place with someone who i did not love and who would squander every chance i tried to give them in life. arguably more stupid than cruel. i used to hurt people for fun. now i enjoy being hurt, and seek out someone willing to do so even if i am in a relationship if that someone is unwilling to hurt me. i try to get their consent to do so, but will seek out a sadist without my partner's approval if necessary. i am a conditioned partial sociopath, and have a reduced capacity for empathy. i know enough to realize that our lives are statistically meaningless.

  31. It's easy to hate him, and everybody seems to. Maybe that's part of why he is how he is? Maybe in failing to even try to understand why he is this way, we have failed him. You don't change someone's opinion by berating them, you reinforce it.

  32. Over 80% of gun deaths in the US are either suicides, police shootings, or self defense. Only around 15% of gun related deaths in the US are homicides, and less than 10% of those are committed with legally owned and registered guns.

  33. Yes

  34. Guns are a very core part of American culture. We see them as a fundemental right like free speech, the right to fair trial, or the right to assamble. Without guns, America as we know it would not exist. That's no exaggeration either. Guns are what allowed the fledgling United States to resist and break away from British rule. Not guns in the hands of our military, but guns in the hands of everyday citizens tired of being ruled by a king halfway around the world. The right to bear arms has been a core part of an ordinary citizen's rights, and just as importantly, a part of American culture ever since.

  35.  @ElysianSounds  Take a look at the world today. Authoritarian governments are still alive and well. The US is arguably edging a little closer every year to becoming one. This isn't about political parties, it's about freedoms, large and small, being sacrificed for the illusion of safety. I'm not sure if you're American, but the Patriot act is a bill that is exactly that. Any semblance of a right to privacy destroyed by a bill allegedly designed to stop terrorism. Mass surveillance is a keystone to an authoritarian state.

  36.  @ElysianSounds  I'm going to protest a bill proposed by my hometown to ban the use of ATVs on private property later this week. No, I'm not bringing my gun, I have no need to. The point is, why should these things be banned? Why should ATVs, or guns be forbidden items? Because they have the potential to be dangerous? That's why a liscence is required to purchase/ operate them. We are mature citizens capable of handling ourselves, not children who can't be trusted with motor vehicles or steak knives for fear we might hurt ourselves or someone else.

  37.  @Cherryripe25  Yeah, porn can cause that. I have low confidence, and I can't blame that on porn. Lack of confidence, depression, mental disorders, addiction... you can blame them to outside factors which may indeed contribute to them, but the core issues lie with one's self. I just don't like that some people want to ban everything that could be considered addictive or dangerous. Not everyone wants to, but some people use other people's struggle with insert issue here to call for increase regulation or the outright banning of an item/ activity. I can see how porn would create certain expectations for women of course, but I don't think the expectations being creative are any less potentially harmful to men. We need to recognize that porn is, essentially, fiction. Sex doesn't work the way it does in porn, and not enough people realize that.

  38. I find it interesting how feminists and men's rights activists both feel like the other is more focused on discrediting the other than focusing on actual issues affecting their gender. Such a similar mind, yet opposite sides.

  39. Yes they do. It is acceptable to segregate competitive sports based on sex for the sake of creating an even playing field. The special Olympics doesn't allow physically fit people of sound mind and body to compete because it is a space created for those who wouldn't otherwise be able to compete. Women's sports is a place for women to play sports, and you threaten that by allowing non-women to compete. It is okay to be trans, but you need to recognize that no matter what you identify as, biological sex is a real thing, and it does matter under certain contexts.

  40. Probably gonna catch some flak for this. I think that climate change science is a lot less reliable and more politically influenced than most others, and is inheriantly less trustworthy because of it. I don't deny that climate change is happening, practically every scientist agrees that it is, where things get a bit less clear cut is when you try to get exact numbers for how much of an impact humans are having on it. Most scientists don't comment on whether humans are having an effect on the Earth's climate or not. The "95% of scientists say humans are causing climate change" claims are an outright lie, completely ommiting the majority of those who don't comment on that. That alone is not enough to invalidate the claim of humans impacting the climate as there are still more scientists believing we are than aren't, but it does go to show how political agendas can impact either scientific studies or their presentation, something that has become all too common these days. I believe humans are having some impact on our climate, there appears to be much more evidence in favor of that than otherwise. The real issue is we have very little idea how much of an impact we are having. It is very difficult to find solid, non-contradicting numbers because the climate change models are so complicated, and contain so many unknown variables. I'm not denying that humans are speeding up climate change, we almost certainly are. But those claiming that global warming will be as apolocolypyic as a giant asteroid or a solar flare don't seem very helpful or believable when the claims are based on cherry picked data from outlying studies, when many more studies suggest a slower or more mild effect over the same time scale. It's borderline anti-vax logic. Choosing one outlying study over many more that have much milder results.

  41. Yes, most furries are sexual. Yes, many furries do have mental health issues, especially issues that impede social interaction such as autism. Yes, many furries are homosexual or bisexual. As for the latter two, I don't see them as bad things since the furry community is usually a somewhat welcoming place. But the fact is, the vast majority of furries do have a sexual interest in their hobby, and anyone saying otherwise either has very little experience with the community or is lying. That's not necessarily bad either, but don't search for art about your favorite childhood character on e621 or furaffinity if you value your childhood memories.
