The escapists are such jokers never taking anything seriously, chloroform and vans. Just hit him/her with a spade.

You say you try to deny your animalistic side, yet still masturbate?KingGolem said:I am able to relieve my sexual tensions alone, much faster, more reliably, and without the risks and sacrifices of a relationship.
Ugh, this is becoming tiresome. The logic of the GROUP dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, but the logic of the individual would beg to differ. I am not concerned with what is best for "the many" if it means that I am disadvantaged. My logic is that what is best for me is best for me, and if "the many" requires me to make a sacrifice for their benefit, then that is not best for me. Egotism and selfishness are, in my opinion, the only logical positions. After all, nobody (or very few, I guess) goes to work because they want to help their fellow man: they do it for the money that they need to help themselves. What is so mystifying about that?Jarimir said:Now is it logical to be selfish and egotistical? Especially egotism... Logic dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (thank you Mr. Spock!), so there goes selfishness...
I contend that it is the illogical part of your brain that needs to feel important. It is also the illogical part of your brain that is justifying the way you are by slapping the label "logic" on it. It is only a label now because logic denies the need to feel anything. It is not logical to need/want to be important even to one's self. It is not logical to fear compromising one's self or one's capital to another. I assume you'd rather not have to go to work yet you do and for what? Money. Money that in most societies has no intrinsic value. The value of a dollar only exists because we insist that it does.
As for having to split capital with a potential partner? Ever heard of a prenuptual agreement?
Ah, but you see, I only try to deny my animalistic side when it stands to do me harm. Masturbation, however, is not only harmless but beneficial, as it provides a means to placate the animalistic part of my brain.z121231211 said:You say you try to deny your animalistic side, yet still masturbate?
Your logic just seems to be "to follow the Id wherever it may go except when it involves having to share or otherwise adapt to something."
I seriously want to know what your end goal in life could be and how having a meaningful relationship could compromise that.
I already have a form of permanent birth control. It's called a vow of chastity. If you've been following along, you know that I place no value on sexual intercourse and see unecessary risk and sacrifice in a relationship. Problem solved, indeed.Father Time said:Not all women want a family. And hey if you're that worried, get some form of permanent birth control. Problem solved.
Not quite awe, per say, just interest. A fascination of sorts. Quick question: do you enjoy humor, or find it to be a waste of time?KingGolem said:Pardon me, but did you mean that out of awe or incredulity?Slayer_2 said:This guys is amazing. Honestly, the fact that he comes across dead serious takes the cake.
I see. In the case of humor, it's a bit of both. Certainly I enjoy humor, but I find works devoted entirely to comedy (comedic movies, sitcoms, etc.) are generally so rote and intellectually unengaging that I can view them only with a mild disgust. I will, however, say that I enjoy stand-up comedy, as it consists of jokes to the exclusion of everything else. It does not have a sickeningly overwrought narrative as a vehicle to deliver jokes, and with that gone, I enjoy it just as anyone else would.Slayer_2 said:Not quite awe, per say, just interest.
