Don't worry, Marie, he's just dreaming his silly little fantasies about life in u-fuckin'-topia.
Would it be a lot better if I went to have dystopian nightmares that kept me an emotional cripple for the rest of my life? A change in focus/attitude, and I'm there. Or maybe it's time to come to terms with reality: an unchangeable phenomena, as brought to you by the Baron Max foundation?
"Remember kids, there's nothing to be done about it... and nobody talk as if there is!! What's that? You all agree with it and you want to outlaw violence in the sandbox.. you think it will make you happier?? Already brainwashed... mass suggestion and peer pressure if ever I saw it! Take my advice and get a grip... some will live to see the sandbox again, some will die. That's just life! You can't do nothing about that! To set common values and borders?? That's crazy talk! Not gonna cut it... sit back and let everything self-regulate, and the truth will emerge from it. Let the carnage begin! Ahh... freedom at it's finest."
And you'll notice, won't you, that HIS thoughts are all okay ...but the thoughts of others must be curtailed!!?? ...LOL!
My thoughts are not all ok... trust me! Where did you get that? I've had lots of unwanted thoughts. It's for the individual to decide what to do with them. To take them seriously, or be flippant about it. What I want is for us to understand and appreciate in ourselves why some thoughts are possibly damaging to us and our environment. To recognise how they commonly affect our mentality, our behaviors and our relationships. That they sometimes do, long before they're explicitly expressed or acted on.
When there's less discrepancy between our thoughts/words/actions, it's easier to relate to eachother, and we arguably feel more solidified as individuals and as a whole.
That's why I want to root out my own 'inappropriate' thoughts, anyway.
Most of what we desire is a result of or in response to what is seen as desirable in our environment. We're told through different channels, and we reinforce it in eachother. There will always be supposed ideals, and they're always going to cause dissension...
It's funny, tho', don't you think, that he's so concerned about those nasty thoughts of some nasty people that ....well, perhaps he knows those thoughts a little too well, huh???
I'm too concerned? This is peaking now because I'm in this thread. Like the OP, I've tried to figure out why it happens, and it's a very serious subject.
So you want to rip out people's brains on a ....."pretty sure" idea? No evidence, no statistics, no nothing except "...I'm pretty sure..."??
Ripping out brains wasn't part of the plan, no.
I'm confident enough about it logically that I don't need to rely on evidence or statistics just yet. Why would I need to provide evidence for the fact that porn is more accessible now than before? It's self-evident. Or that it's at all related to child porn? I didn't state how I think they're related. Just that I'm pretty sure they are. And I could well say that about any two things, and I wouldn't need evidence to establish the fact that they are. I could just weasel out of it by saying that everything relates to everything.
There's something to be said for reasoning stuff out in your own head.
Refute what I claim with evidence or statistics if you want, or just some logic of your own.
