It would be nice to see if someone can link this discussion if the fact that America is getting more and more obese each decade.
P.S. Edited the OP with another questioning.

Actually, his exact words were their own body. That is, if it affects someone else, they shouldnt do it.

What means, according to my interpretation, stuff along the lines of abortion, or smoking in public places, shouldnt be allowed. As it would actually be harming someone else. Taking drugs may be allowed, but if the drugs are strong enough to trigger a violent behavior, also not, because again, you would be risking the lives of others. Etc. etc. etc…

To me, personally, that seems like a very reasonable explanation

No matter what, they have no real value, but to be emotional baggage until they learn to communicate effectively.
Don’t forget, your animal instincts are what drive you to have compulsion to protect babies. It is your animal wants that force you to behave, and hold irrational views. It’s important to note that we are hard wired to protect our offspring, and they are built softer than other animal offspring for the shear purpose of us to focus our attention on nurturing them and their development. Your animal urge that makes your blood boil when a baby cries, and you suspect fowl play. Your animal urge to push to console a baby in distress. Our confirmation bias based on emotional cues, can skew our perception on the value of a baby to such proportions it can be unfathomable. Sometimes we falsely look to protect things that our vestigial emotional cues have no purpose to the expanding future of better self-control, increased awareness, and above all, knowing when emotions are falsely leading us astray.

How do we have any real value, then?

Karma, I have not replied to any of your posts because they were pretty good. We differ on requiring anything that infringes on the 2nd amendment. It means and says what it means. I don’t dismiss our founders as compromising on the Constitution. They new what they were doing. The real reason for the Constitution was to be able to fund the government. The Continental Congress were unable to have any sway in the duties they did have, which were not many. Basically, our rule of law, although thorough and probably the best Constitution ever written, was to allow funding for our government.

It is only the law abiding citizen who follows laws. The criminal ignores them. Glados is right, the honest citizen would more than likely turn in their guns, not all of them, just some. Still, they would be afraid to use them for threat of prosecution. We can look at the UK to see this.

I look at rights differently than you do. Rights are God Given, or natural rights. Privileges are granted by the government. Privileges can be are easily taken, rights aren’t. I don’t look at my fellow man as stupid. Yes, we have a few who are a few bricks shy of a full stack, but the majority are upstanding and intelligent.

We are having record sales of firearms and ammunition. I look at this with a bit of disdain as It causes a shortage for all of us. Try finding .223 ammo right now. Popular firearms are gone, back ordered for months. Yet with all of these new shooters, experienced shooters will take them under their wings and teach them. Just recently an experienced shot-gunner took be under his wing and showed me something new. This is how the firearms community works. Our country has had the right to bear arms for 250 years. We have accepted some bad with the good

I do agree, there are those who have no business picking up a gun or driving a car. But we can’t take away the rights of others for these few…that is a dictatorship. It seems every time a person stubs a toe, do-gooders what a rash of new laws to prevent stubbed toes. They always become irrational and go overboard. There will always be some danger in just living. A good example of this over reaction is lead paint. People have lived and become adults for a hundred years with lead paint in their house. all of a sudden it has become so hazardous we have to treat it like it’s radiation. Irrational behavior like this has become rampant.

I listened to a program the other night with a doctor talking about the drugs I brought up earlier. She said these drugs, which are depressives, are causing irrational behavior in our young people. If they are not the right dosage, or if the person starts taking them to0 fast or quit them too fast, they cause depression, suicidal tendencies, or violence. All of the young people who have committed mass murders has been on some form of these drugs. Why don’t we research this? We have more children on these drugs than any other country in the world. The more I read about these drugs, the more I see a connection. If I can find material on these drugs, why can’t our government? Why do they ignore this possible cause and instead go after a right? Sounds a bit like politics to me.

Ok, lets go through it part by part, shall we?

It is only the law abiding citizen who follows laws. The criminal ignores them. Difference is not all that clear. A criminal can follow the law, if it suits him, and even a honest citizen can be forced to break the law under desperate situations. Either way, the way you put it seems to, again, ignore a quite important point of mine: While you claim that guns are necessary for self defense, my whole point is that the reason of making a law against guns is making self defense unnecessary. Now, am I saiyng there would be no crime if there were no guns? No, but there would be LESS crime if there were no guns, or if at least, to acquire then was a more difficult process… Besides, under regular circunstances, a killer wont hesitate to pull the trigger, but a regular person would. And that can make a huge difference

I look at rights differently than you do. Rights are God Given, or natural rights Now, how are we suppose to prove a specific right is natural or not? Besides, not negating the existance of a X or Y right, I cannot believe you can say any right is absolute. A serial killer, for a instance, at my viewpoint, doesnt have the right to live. So, looking at guns in the other hand, would it be fair to assume that, in the minute the possession of guns represents a danger to the very life of others, that means it is fair to negate that right? Coming from that assumption, deemed as guns were designed with the intention of killing, and are effective at it, cant we say a society on which anyone can acquire a gun would have more deaths, deemed as those who would have the desire of killing, would also have a easy mean of doing so?

I do agree, there are those who have no business picking up a gun or driving a car. But we can’t take away the rights of others for these few…that is a dictatorship But isnt part of the duty of a governmant to protect its citizens? Nobody is, of course, talking about preventing people from doing dangerous things… Assuming they are the only ones who are put in danger by these actions. But, in the wrong hands, a gun DO represents a great danger. So does a car, thus why we can take away ones driver license.

I have to strongly agree with you when it comes to the drugs, however. I support the right of anyone to do as it pleases with its own body, but the problem with drugs, is the level they can take someone. I live in Brazil, and I can tell you the following: One is simply no longer the same person when in drugs. Depending of the level of the addiction, one is capaeble of killing for another dose, and completely loses the sense of reasonable…

He. Assuming I was to see myself in this situation, my classic reaction would be simply to grab the incoming feet with my hands, and go on, pushing the feet upwards until it twists. Although, if I get REALLY unlucky, I might wind up falling in a angle such that one of my arms will be crushed by my own body weight.

Personally, I’d use the taser first, and follow up with physical violence later if necessary. (i.e. if the first taser blast didn’t do more than slow you down, I’d need to add a little something to the second one.) Two or three kicks to the windpipe would be a good way to slow the would-be assaulter down further. I’d need two or three because my aim is piss-poor. I’d aim at the windpipe and probably end up breaking his nose or his solar plexus the first time.

But then I don’t initiate physical violence, only defend, so my strategies reflect that. Someone like Helltank, who initiates a fight, is going to have a very different approach to the problem.

If your average guy struck me in the head with a baseball bat with all he has got, my classic reaction would be just to shout a insult and continue walking as if the blow didnt happened.

An advantage of not having your central nervous system located inside your body? (no brain present, means no concussion.)

Nope, just really, really thick skulled. In both meanings of the word, honestly. I been punched, kicked, bashed, and even bitten in various parts of my body without suffering more then a couple of red marks. Obviously, I am pretty sure that a weapon could still injure me( I never got shot. And I am not stupid enough to shoot myself just to know if it can hurt me, as most likely, it WILL ).

I almost never initiate violence myself. When I enter combat, my motivation will generally be not so much destroiyng the enemy, as it would be to simply overwhelm it in such a way it will have little choice but to surrender. Had to use it a lot with excessivelly persistent bullies. One of my favourite tactics against a individual enemy, assuming no weapons on either of us, is giving him a fairly weak push with my hand, just strong enough so it loses balance, then giving a stronger push in direction to a wall and immobilizing him against it. If the enemy keeps triyng to hit me in that position-And it will be in a very bad angle for it-I would generally simply apply more and more pressure, until he EVENTUALLY surrenders.

Topic: Off-topic / Anime Addicts Anonymous (AAA)

Well, I didnt entered here so far, because the only anime I actually followed up and enjoyed was DBZ. Recently, however, I also tried up Bleach, and Fairy Tail. Both seemed very intersting to me… Tested up Vampire Knight, but, how do I put it… It SEEMED intersting… To who actually likes this kind of stuff. For me, the stance the show seems to take on vampires and vampirism as a whole seems a bit weird, and honestly, not a huge vampire romance kind of guy anyway. I DO, however, would recomend it to those who liked( Ugh ) Twilight, as while it had theme similarities, Vampire Knight was WAAAAAY much more well written.

Overral, now that I got myself started on my addiction, do anyone have any suggestion of a anime that would help it to completely take over me?

Once that thread mentioned, I have lately found myself wondering how would it be like if I was a girl. No, I am not a transexual… Well, at least I THINK I am not, anyway. It is not a strong desire or anything, and either way, considering my bodytype, I am pretty sure I would be as ugly as a girl can get.Rather one of those classic What if… stuff.

It is worth noting that although our upper body strength is weaker, a woman can kick harder than any man ever could. This is because of the way our hips are set, which gives us a much greater torque.

Once you’re on the ground, a woman who knows what she is doing, can pulverise you with her kicks, far more bloodily than you’d get from punches from a man. Kick like a mule is very apt.

Or perhaps they made a report but the police didn’t have enough evidence to bring the woman to court.

The secound and the third can just as well happen with woman. The first kinda too, although by different reasons. It is not rare for a rape victin to feel unpure, as if she had seduced its rapist somehow, what is NOT true, of course, but you cant blaim me for human psycology.

Obviously, I am not saiyng action shouldnt be taken about woman that rape man. I am merely saiyng it already is.

I am a total egalitarian. While this means that I treat girls fairly and give them an equal chance if, say, I was picking people to play soccer with me, it also means that I treat them exactly like I do a boy.

Lots of people say they want equality, yet they complain when I hit a girl. I hit boys, why not hit a girl?

Generally, I hit neither. But, if am I to be punched by someone, boy or girl, I WILL punch back.

It is a bit annoiyng how people ignore abuse when it is the woman who commits the abuse. Merely because it is rarer, and the girl is generally physically weaker, it doesnt mean it doesnt happen.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Would you visit a nudist camp,,how shy are you?

Kinda jumping in this thread, if I may…
I am rather insecure about my body, honestly( You would too, if you, like me, had managed to become fat and muscular at the same time ). But assuming, hipotethically, I lived in a society where nudity is common, and NOT associated to sex, I probably wouldnt have a problem with it, as I would know nobody would look at me THAT way…

Topic: Serious Discussion / Vigilantes - good or bad?

Morally speaking, I am totally for vigilantes. Maybe it is just because of where I grew in, but I am simply sick of seeing killers and rapists getting away of prison in, like, 5-10 years, when they even get in at all( What is barely 20% of the time ). In a ideal world, vigilantism would not be necessary. However, as this isnt a ideal world, then SOMEONE will have to do SOMETHING.

Legally speaking, I cant be for vigilantes. For, by fairest that their cause can be, what if they wind up harming innocents in the process? The whole point of making a legal systen is allowing criminals to be punished, without risking to have a desorganized group of vigilantes accidently harming innocents. Or worst: A group of people who BELIEVE to be fighting for justice, and indeed, are fighting for their own definition of justice, spreading chaos and havoc.

finally a comment not full of stupid. i hate the tumblr generation whose idea of sexual equality is “feminism will solve all men’s problems and any problems it doesn’t solve are due to patriarchy and men being rapists. anyone who disagrees with me is a misogynist.”.

To helltank: If you can give me some reasonable evidence of that, I will gladly agree with you. For not sure where you live, but speaking as someone who has a Brazian lawyer for a mother, and a Brazilian district atternay( This is what they call it where you live, right? ) for a father, I dont remember EVER hearing of such a thing…

And to Murder: That depends: What definition of feminism are we using here? I am totally for equal rights, which is what the variety of feminism described in the OP intends to. But I really dislike those arrogant woman who act as if man such as myself were primitive beings. I mean, when are people going to learn equal means EQUAL?

Sometimes it is.

And also, you believed some rather repulsive things.

I had no idea that sex existed until I was 13. Thus, until that age, I believed that a female can absorb the genetical material of a man when they kiss, and use it as a mean to afterwards produce a baby.

And I still choose to believe my mother is a virgin. I mean, obviously, I am perfectly aware she isnt. But I like to pretend she is… It is healthier NOT to imagine her with my father that way.

I believed a falling star was LITERALLY a star falling from the sky. Never sure if it was just me, or if it is common of kids around age 4-7…

And by last, I believed that people could regenerate lost limbs. Luckily I never tested it, but I believed it.

Actually, I am pretty sure what what Batman does is, indeed, as much against the law as what any other superhero does. But point is…

I wouldnt say he is retarded, but when you think about it, Batman is cliche as hell. I mean, when you think about it, he is not only the guy whose parents were killed by bandids, and who then begun to fight against crime ever since, but also the guy who went to train the secrets of hidden arts with monks in a mountain… How cliche is this?
