Your "belief" is not more important than my reality.

See, if you were still keeping it strictly dickly instead of just clam digging, I'm the type that'd make it simple, easy and logical for you to figure out.

Sex. Food. Music. Movies.

A bit o' gin or shochu. That's it, basically.

Clam digging? Haha!

It's better this way, right? Keep things simple and it's all good. Less complicated. I guess that's why I have so many male friends.

Men do enjoy their food. And man time. They have to have their man space. I'm happy when they're happy.

 

[StrangeLife]

Yeah, he's just doubling down on the obnoxious at this point, just to get some attention.

You might have noticed that rather than steamy cybersex, the "attention" I'm getting at the moment is more along the line of a chastising for being a cheap-skate, a selfish man and a Rush Limbaugh sympathiser.

That's not exactly the kind I had hoped to attract...

I would say that ascribing a decline to the family unit to the fact that women are now on more equal footing with men in terms of the consequences of sexual promiscuity is a little misogynistic. Is the attitude towards sex in our society different than it was a century ago? Absolutely, but there are a hell of a lot of factors contributing to that.

But we aren't on equal footing in terms of the consequences of sexual promiscuity and we never will be, due to basic biology. Let's say I have a drunken one night stand with a guy I pick up in a bar and I get pregnant. I am also a person who would never have an abortion, so I have the baby. Alone. The only way the guys faces any consequences is if he bothered to give me his real name and address and I bring the weight of The State against him. If I don't have his contact info, how on earth can you say we have equal footing in terms of consequences when I am raising a child alone and he is off shagging his next drunken hookup? What happens when our Daddy/Government cant force equal consequences? There aren't any, that is what happens.

I don't think the amicus curiae briefs are particularly relevant. Just shows that a number of the people and organizations supporting Hobby Lobby are functionally clueless as to what the case is actually about, which is not surprising in the least.

You know, I don't agree with Hobby Lobby's stance on this nor with their supporters. However, I don't belittle the opposition by saying they are "functionally clueless" because I find it interesting to hear the points of view of others. You might learn something interesting about how other people view the world or at least broaden your mind a bit by not proclaiming something irrelevant and actually hearing out and digesting another side.

And you need to realize that the fact that I'm an insufferable idiot doesn't automagically mean that what I say is wrong. Just as the fact that I'm not referring to anybody else in a derogatory manner doesn't means that I consider their opinions superior to my own...

Most, if not all, delusional people don't think they are. I don't think you're delusional, but I think you have massive entitlement issues. Also possibly a pathological need to be right - which in this case seems to be manifesting as changing your position every time a counter argument is presented.

Still - I think the thread has run its course. You don't have a convincing, or consistent position and all the points have been covered in great detail.

I thought that was just me. I thought I picked up the food thing from being raised with dogs. "Fuck with my food and you're fucking with me. Don't make me bite your face off!"

I realize that I made the mistake of debating in a thread that was created for preaching to the choir. After running through the tread I now know it was supposed to be a "vent" - and what I just did was equivalent to strolling inside the Westboro Baptist Church and start pointing out a few great things about being gay.

So yeah - I'm never gonna get any hot cybersex now that I'm "outed" as a misogynistic slut-shaming hobby-lobbyistic Ann Coulter-drooling gun-nutty Scrooge, who's also delusional self-centered stupid dyslexic and just a plain chauvinistic @ss-hole....

I wouldn't call what you were doing "debating" you're obviously opposed to women having access to subsidised BC, but the reasons you've given for your opposition haven't been consistent and they don't really stand up to scrutiny. you talk about personal responsibility, but it seems that the only thing it really applies to is women having sex. You talk about promiscuity and you use typical slut-shaming language and when counter examples are offered to your assertion that using BC = promiscuity, you refuse to address them. You say you're in favour of Birth control pills being covered under insurance as long as it's not for birth control but you don't say how you'd separate the wheat from the chaff. you started off being all about the financial cost to you, of BC coverage, and when it was pointed out that covering it would be cheaper than not doing, suddenly you were all about principles and personal responsibility and you'd rather pay $100 to a worthy cause than $.50c to an undeserving one....

In short you'll say whatever you think will score short term debating points. full marks for hanging in there - zero marks for honesty, integrity and sincerity. You certainly talk an entertaining argument, but you have all the honesty of the bastard offspring of Ray Comfort and Sarah Palin.

Interesting reading Lori - thanks.

Of course my first reaction was "Arrrh! Quick! Lets hurry and have lotsa wild sex before we die!"


But essentially it's not a matter of direct causality but more a general holistic view of a healthy life style. Eat well... live a balanced life... don't sweat the small stuff... have people around who loves you... enjoy the moment and don't take the world on your shoulders... You could basically replace the word "sex life" with the word "exercise program" in 90% of the texts and they would still make perfect sense.


Well, ok - this one wouldn't....

It seems also to be something in the sperm contributing to the good effect on the mood. Researches showed that women whose partners used condoms were more prone to depression than others. This is supposed to be linked to prostaglandin, a chemical found in the sperm and absorbed in the vaginal tract, modulating the woman's mood. Semen appears to act as an antidepressant in women.

Women who have sex without condoms are also more likely to be victims of the rebound effect following the breakup of their relationship, pointing that there is a withdrawal effect that influences depressiveness when semen exposure stops.

And here I thought I was merely a horny guy, and it turns out

that I'm a walking talking prostaglandin-producing Joy-factory!

How totally awesome is that! http://s30.postimg.org/xfgwsgh0t/762_7clap2.gif

This is also the perfect reason why even a lesbian ought to sample a guy occasionally (hint hint). Hey! It's about your health right? I mean - it's not really "sex". It's kinda like downing an energy drink...

 

[StrangeLife]

That's not what it means.

I know what you implied, but like I said - I'm a "glass is half full" kinda guy

I wouldn't call what you were doing "debating" you're obviously opposed to women having access to subsidised BC, but the reasons you've given for your opposition haven't been consistent and they don't really stand up to scrutiny.

The fact that you are born with a certain set of genitals doesn't imply an entitlement in my book. Women have come far during the last two centuries and despite the fact that many are still whining like little babies, we have essentially achieved gender equality in all areas that counts. Ok, we still need a female president (please not Hillary though), but then we're pretty much there. In many universities the women outnumber the men by a considerable margin and in my area it's hard to even find a male physician.

So once again - life ain't fair. Boo hoo. Deal with it and pay for your own hobbies.

you talk about personal responsibility, but it seems that the only thing it really applies to is women having sex. You talk about promiscuity and you use typical slut-shaming language and when counter examples are offered to your assertion that using BC = promiscuity, you refuse to address them.

Because that it the easy way of brushing a valid input to a complex subject aside Bert.

I do not recognize "promiscuity" as a bad thing. There is no such thing as being too rich, having too much horse power in your car or having too much sex - regardless of gender. I have used the word "slut" in a derogatory context one time in my life, and it was during a pretty tense moment (coming home from work too early... yadda yadda yadda...) and I have since apologised to the girl in question. She is the mother of my oldest daughter, and I owe her respect.

I'm still gonna shoot the guy on sight of course, but that's a different issue...

You say you're in favour of Birth control pills being covered under insurance as long as it's not for birth control but you don't say how you'd separate the wheat from the chaff.

Yes I do. If your doctor prescribes them for something, they're "medicine". Simple as that.

you started off being all about the financial cost to you, of BC coverage, and when it was pointed out that covering it would be cheaper than not doing, suddenly you were all about principles and personal responsibility and you'd rather pay $100 to a worthy cause than $.50c to an undeserving one....

They're asking - actually demanding - me to pay, so the core of the matter is "money." But to me it's not the primary issue. I would gladly spend 100K in legal fees in order to counter a 10K law suit, if I got sufficiently pissed off. You gotta make a stand sometimes Bert - not everything in this world is for sale....

In short you'll say whatever you think will score short term debating points. full marks for hanging in there - zero marks for honesty, integrity and sincerity. You certainly talk an entertaining argument, but you have all the honesty of the bastard offspring of Ray Comfort and Sarah Palin.

I would love to comfort Sarah Palin....
