What’s your most controversial opinion?

[crazychemgirl]

ok more controversial… it was only just over.. what 100 years ago … (I’ll say 150 to be safe) that it was acceptable (in society) to marry girls as young as 13 … now we know better but because that had been the predominant behaviour it’s possibly still in our DNA … and so pedophilia is still present in current society. Due to its STRONG aversion .., most people that would have those kinds of urges are so ashamed of them that they don’t seek help. It’s possible with help that these people could find ways to curb their urges leading to less instances of abuse.

*** I am prefacing this by saying I don’t agree with pedophilia and am not advocating for it in any way, shape or form.

I think it's still legal (and happens) in some states (parental permission required, maybe). Certainly it still happens on the regular in other countries. If you know someone that travels regularly to the Philippines for vacation, unless they have family there odds are you know a pedo.

My paternal grandmother married a 28-year-old widower with 5 daughters when she was 14 and gave him 9 (farm working) children. This was in the 1930s.

People who say, “Must be nice,” to your positive news see themselves as victims of circumstance.

I fucking hate when people say that. How about when people respond ‘You’re not wrong,’ to something you just said. I kinda want to shank them in the neck. I know I am not wrong. If I thought it was wrong I would not have said it you dumb shit.

I hate it. Also when people say ‘100 percent,’ in agreement. Honestly I am usually secretly sayin fuck you to most people.

I say all of these things. I do so because people tell me shit I don’t give a fuck about and it seems more polite than saying “and you are telling me this because?”

Ok so very true … still lots of places this is occurring.

I’m thinking of the way people hear about a pedo and immediately make comments like “he should die” .. “why even let him out of jail” … and while I agree assaulting children is not ok … recognizing the behaviour as something that someone does not out of choice but compulsion … and only by dealing with the reality of the situation can we aim to make it better.

In my experience (lengthy career in criminal justice), most abusers were themselves victims of abuse.
Victims often felt they were at fault and were too embarrassed to discuss their situation. That has improved, which is the first step towards fixing the problem. Until we become willing to invest in and properly fund mental health help (which has essentially been phased out in the US over the last 50 years), this issue will never be controlled as it should be.

That is exactly the truth of the matter.

You 100% aren’t wrong

Both political parties are garbage, neither of them are any good all they do is spread hate and divisive lies as does their affiliated biased media. They should all be voted out.

Refusal to drink either red or blue Kool aid gets me the hate from both sides of the mindless masses.

Thinking for yourself has never been more unpopular.

I am not making excuses...but in farming communities a little over a hundred years ago...we still traveled by horse to church. You married what was available. Fuck...a 13 year old then had already been working for 8 years. Maturity...was very different.

That’s what I’m sayin … it’s not that long ago it was very common

Loretta Lynn married at 14, which was around 1946. Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old cousin at a time when that was still common in the South.

It was also okay, at one time, to own a slave but most decent humans recognise that that is also now no longer acceptable both for the enslaved or society.

Touch my kids I’d cut your throat and your dick off, (probably not in that order) and I’d feel wholly justified in my actions as you bled out.

My controversial opinion...

If you sandwich people in LAY threads, I instantly find your 57% less attractive.

No kink-shaming!

 

[ydahecnot]

Not shaming! But I take that information, process, and make the appropriate adjustments.

Um, sandwiching joke

 

[FranklyFrank]

Whenever I see a Litster use the word sandwich I automatically think either lunch or a threesome so I instantly find them to be 87% more attractive!

If they do it because they are the only two people posting at the time anywhere on the board, does that lessen the % attractiveness?

Yes if it's person A and person B back and forth but...
if it's person Person A - Person B - Person A - Person C - A - D - A ...

Well has to be since there's no M - O - M on the DM/lb threads.



God I hope I made that up.
