I love to come comment the great EFT comics, but when a patronizing, condescending clown playing the internet gurus insult your intelligence ... I send him fracking off.
I enjoy some off-topic chat, but mighty-walls-of-text written in the condescending self-righteous tone don't interest me ... responding is only feeding the psychotic behaviour.
I'm sure you don't appreciate either the Libertarian/moron standard ''OMG You are a statist COnservative'' monster smear failed as intellectualism ... best answer is to send him fracking off.
Later on, we see
sams whine:
Do I really have to respond to this massive straw-man and paternalist condescension ?
...and then whimper:
I don't any label confirmation nonsense or nor I feel the need to respond to a clown behind his computer calling me ''a Authoritarian Conservative normative'' monster or whatever ... I come to comment about the comic, all else is BS especially if it is on sanctimonious tone.
In a later post,
sams informs that he (she?) is alien to these United States, and dwells somewhere in Africa.
This thread having been started by
sams to address the supposed "pedophilia" involved in the kidnapping and threatened gang-rape of a 12-year-old Belter female (which stretches the definition of pedophilia way to hell out of shape, 'cause normal, healthy 12-year-old females in the Belt as depicted would tend reliably to be nubile if not of full adult stature, personifying the concept of "jailbait"), for this crazy person to make sputtering noises about how the posts I've contributed to discuss the moral agency of children and their abilities to emancipate themselves - and participate in consensual sexual activities, if they wish - are in any way "
off-topic" is either hypocritical or insane.
Having gotten to know
sams adequately in the past few days, I'm gonna go with "insane."
This being a venue on the Web, and with nothing but reasoned argument to offer in any exchange of ideas, I've striven here to present the facts of reality as lucidly and explicitly as I can manage.
sams, on the other hand....
Well,
sams is obviously insane. Whether in Africa or sitting in some fundamentalist Protestant clapboard church in Appalachia, what
sams is regurgitating on the subject of individual human rights (and even a child in the first decade of life is a human being and an individual distinctly separate from his/her parents) is entirely in the social/traditionalistic "
conservative" line of political authoritarianism.
It obviously irritates the hell out of
sams that I should state this obvious fact, though why he gripes about it I can only speculate. Probably because
sams is insane. Insane people don't think or speak or act logically.
In the discussion of conditions on Ceres and in the Belt culture as the authors of
Escape From Terra (which
sams claims to enjoy, though why that should be -
sams being the typification of a mundane cement-head if ever there was one - I've got not the first idea) have thus far depicted, there is no reason why human beings below whatever arbitrary "age of consent" beloved of
sams and his fellow social/traditionalist "
conservative" authoritarians want to impose would not become sexually active according to their capacities and preferences, with age-peers or with elders, as long as no violations of the Zero Aggression Principle (ZAP) were involved.
With regard to arguments about how "
intense" sexual relationships might become (because such "intensity" is not a universal or by any means a necessary part of sexual activity; refer again to the expression "a roll in the hay") in the effort to "protect" children and adolescents out of the exercise of their libidinal capacities, it is flatly impossible to prevent intensity from developing in the lives of these youngsters by criminalizing their sexuality.
Infatuations ("crushes") are commonplace throughout childhood, including not only erotic limerences but also emotional fixations that can be - you should pardon the expression - intense as all get-out. Seldom do they last, and when they go through perturbations and eventually break up, the adverse responses of the persons participating (no matter what their ages) are commonly quite stormy, whether sexual activity had been involved or not.
So what? Who the hell thinks that this is not a normal and expected part of emotional and intellectual maturation? Or, indeed, that it doesn't go on
throughout life?
I suspect that
sams and his social/traditionalist "
conservative" co-religionists are not only insane and stupid but also tragically incapable of honestly considering the real nature of human thought and emotion. If they've had any responsibility in the nurture of children, they've not only done a thoroughly crappy job of it but they're blind to just
how crappy a job they did. Or are presently doing.
