See, you don't know the effects of rape are "roughly the same level of severity" as a heavy beating because you have never been raped. Is it really necessary for me to repeat this? You haven't been raped, and therefore you do not know what it is like, nor can you even begin to speculate on the emotional ramifications of such an experience because, once you again, you haven't been raped. You seem to just be comparing your experience with a few similar comments you might have seen written in some article about rape victims - what those articles don't cover, however, is the irreparable long-term damage that will undoubtedly occur as a result of that traumatic experience.Womplord said:
I'm not trying to downplay your experience - what happened to you is terrible, and I'm sorry about that. However, it seems to have been so horrible for you that you're convinced you can compare it to one of the most horrific acts a human being can commit, when you can't. Why? You haven't been raped, and therefore, it makes no logical sense for you to compare your experience to another experience that you objectively know nothing about. You know what rape is, but that's about it. What rape does to a person psychologically, emotionally, or even physically is something that only rape victims can elaborate on.
And, just in case you forgot, I've actually been trying to reinforce how horrible rape is - rape, being one of the most appalling and despicable types of violence out there, means that I was not downplaying the effects of violence at all.
OK then I guess your right. I suppose you can't really know what any type of psychological trauma is like unless you have experienced it. And there are countless types out there... and I guess how each individual will react is unique as well... What I said was based more on intuition than anything else.SonicKoala said:
Which makes perfect sense, considering what happened to you. However, as you said, trauma (psychological or otherwise) is simply one of those things that you have to experience in order to truly understand. Furthermore, I have a lot of women in my life who I'm very close to (family, girlfriend, friends), which is probably part of the reason I felt compelled to push my point across.Womplord said:
While Child Abuse/Child Molestation is bad, Paedophilia is not.
Men and Women are not equal and the world should stop acting like they are. If we were, I'd be able to squeeze out a baby. Men are better at some things while Women are better then others.
If someone has a baby, one of the parents should stay at home to care for it until it is of school age. I'm not saying which parent, but having a kid then paying someone else to look after it is to me a little stupid.
Religion in all its forms has been a greater force for good in the world then bad. Also, there is nothing wrong with being religious as long as you don't try and impose it on others.
At this moment in time, Computer Games are at the same artistic level as Porn. While it is still improving, Games will not be considered art until the majority of people play and enjoy games, and the culture (critics, fans etc) surrounding them improves considerably.

I don't quite know how controversial my views are, but I'll say two of them:
I believe religion in the modern society should go away, or, if not, at least be removed the right to have a say in anything ever.
I don't believe that every person has a unique personality. I think we're actually all the same. If one person can like football, then everyone can like football. I'm never fully convinced that we really think that different in the end.

While my opinion on fan fiction in general isn't the highest (Sturgeon's Law applies), I've never seen a statement against its creation that wasn't incredibly irrational, sadly misinformed, or both. With that in mind, I think noncommercial derivative fan works should fall under fair use. (Note "noncommercial." No selling fan fiction, unless you're being paid by the creator to write a tie-in.)
However, the rights to the fan work should revert to the creator of the original work. (In short, if I write a Rift fanfic, it should legally be the property of Trion Worlds, even if they do nothing with it.)

eh, we won't hold it against ya dude.
my controversial opinion? i reckon that anyone who has committed rape,murder, or any kind of torture or brainwashing ( and , depending, drugs) should be shot on sight should be killed on sight. theft, a bit of violence, bending of rules(such as alchie limit) is ok, but anyone willing to destroy to a precious life, whether literally or figuratively, doesn't deserve the chance to live.
and i don't mean crap like ' she was attacked and defended himself' or 'killing in defense of others ie: soldier, police-man', i mean proper, sick and depraved acts of violence or torture.
I think psychology is just a bunch of made up stuff, and psychologists claim to be a science because it makes them feel good about themselves. Opinion is not science. At least at my school that is how the "psychologists" act.
I know some people may take that as me hating on it completely, I just feel psych is under developed and has the potetial to be a great field, just not at the moment. No offence implied to anyone, if you believe in it, all the power to you. Having something to believe in is important.

more or less my opinions- cept pedophilia-doesn't that eventually lead to child molestation? also, completely agree with ya on a parent staying home, though i would say i would prefer if the mum stayed home. why? because there is no greater love than that between a mother and they're child, and because of this, mammies are simply better at take care of kids ( most of the time).Plinglebob said:
Just curious, how do you interprate the theory of evolution? not a whole lot of wiggle room in established science i mean.Casual Shinji said:
It would be bad in the same way that one would pass instant judgement over some 6 billion people, without regards to personal merit, justice or sound rationale. In short, it would be stupid and inconsiderate.Cheesus333 said:
Civilization came when we started to bend nature to our will, but we have yet to bend human nature. So we may suffer from the weaknesses of our evolutionary history, but we are all determined to change that and grow past our caveman-instincts. It will be a painful process yes, and i wish we could do it sooner, but the single universal fact that we try everyday to care for each other is enough a reason for humanities' existence.
EDIT:
Oh god this, i cannot for the life of me see why religious people would ignore natural science. If you believe in god (not religious myself), then you have to accept reality, and the reality of it all is so vast and beautiful and mysterious that ignoring it would be to ignore the greatest creation there ever was and will be.SleepingDragon said:
The following things ideals/things that need to be eliminated (in my opinion):
- Religion (one of the many roots to chaotic evil)
- Marriage (it's too one-sided to actually be practical in this day and age).
- 70% of humanity in order to further prevent Warhammer 40k numbers (we're already at that point).
- Facebook/Twitter.
- The war on drugs (the brick wall won't fall, yet people keep throwing money and other peoples' heads at it).

My university is mostly liberal and agnostic/athiest, and many students (and professors) have a tendency to treat Christians like devils, ignorant people, or just plain avoid them. They also bash Christianity quite often.
I'm not a Christian, but I find it sad that some people who claim to be so open-minded don't want to accept a group of people because of their beliefs. They stereotype them as bigots who hate everyone who isn't Christian.
Osama Bin Laden should have been taken alive and put on trial. But straight killing him America has dragged itself down to al Qaeda's level
