Welcome to Gaia! :: Wishbone+Redemption's Post History

While some of these may be legitimate concerns, point G sent up huge red flags. Females shouldn't be allowed to succeed, because supposedly males are incapable of staying with a partner more sucessful than they are? That's some bullshit right there. If this were a widespread problem effecting families, the solution would be to cut out the gender stereotypes that make males too proud to marry suces ...

Cs are average. Not 'good'. They only rate as 'good' if you're a below average student. Grade standards are up to the parent, but frankly, adolescents in America only really have one job in life; to learn. If they fail at that, I shudder to think what they're going to do with the rest of their responsibilities later in life. Of course, you can be smart and make average or bad grades. I, fo ...

Why does it have to be a deliberate act from an entity? Infinity is a really, really, really long time. It could be that when our universe came into being, all the factors just happened to come into place to create it, all at the same time. It's like that overused analogy with the monkies and the typewriters. No one has to tell the monkies to type Hamlet. But if they're there for forever, ...

Frankly, I think the same thing would happen in an S/M relationship as well as an in the typical vanilla. What do you do when your partner doesn't meet your needs? You either break it off, or work it out. It doesn't matter what kind of consensual relationship you're in, what specific needs you have, or how either of the two go down, but I'm guessing that's how it happens either way.

By this definition, my Owner does not have his s**t together at all, but I would still not "vote him out of office." As stated above, he is more than capable of owning me and I am more than able to serve him, in spite of, or perhaps because of, the fact that he does NOT have his s**t together. I don't think it's necessary to have your s**t together to be a good master. Parents rarely ever have ...

That would work better if we had a stable definition of "having one's s**t together". But the thing is, this has not been defined. So how can we establish that a person should lose their privileges of ownership based off the definition that we ourselves do not fully know? Let's make something up for the sake of argument: Having one's s**t together: Being capable of caring for one's ...

Cool. I live in a secluded neighboorhood where we don't get much trick or treating. The houses are a ways away from one another. I don't have an oppurtunity to hand out candy, let alone anything else. If I did live in a heavily populated neighborhood, you can bet I'd be shoving handfulls of Trojans into teenager's pillow cases.

You're looking at a problem you know nothing about and going "what if it happened this way?" That's not questioning, that's making something up off the top of your head because there's a gap there. Also, you defined no objective way to measure intelligence. We don't even know the extent of sentient life in our universe now. Why in the world would the entire universe become collectively mor ...

A scientific theory is a well-supported and thoroughly reasoned hypothesis. In other words, we're not discussing a theory. We're discussing an unfounded idea you have.

You can go to a party for that. Going door to door to mooch off stranger's candy is a bit immature- and I've always considered it pretty rude. They bought the candy for kids, not colleagues. If it was for you, you would have been invited over specifically for an adult party. You're welcome to keep doing so, but if you ever show up at my door, I'm giving you condoms.

If you're never too old, how does thirty somehow count as a cutoff limit? If young adults can beg for sugar door-to-door, why not everyone?

The problem is that happiness is dependent on the individual. There is no single all encompassing thing that will make every individual on this planet happy. One person likes sweets, one likes sailing, one likes sex, one likes M/s. Even things that may seem obvious like "well, no one wants to die" are false, because there may be people who crave to do so. You can't even argue religion, because ...

If you're old enough to drive to the store and buy your own candy, you're too old to be going house to house for it. However, you're never too old to trick or treat for UNICEF. If you need an excuse to dress up and ring doorbells, that's what I'd suggest. One year when I was about seven, we lived in a townhouse, and teenagers without costumes were always coming by for candy. So my mum and a fr ...

They can't. They rely on site hits from playing the game to generate cash from advertisers. This is an amazing game. I love it.
