Cripple Fights

So, it seems that in the absence of tribes ability to recruit new people in, the usual collections of tribe tards have begun to cross pollenate in boredom. This means that all the usual ones you've seen everywhere are now bumping in to each other in the oddest of places. Whether in new tribes, or old ones suddenly revived, we are no longer subject solely to the roving hockey brawl that is Satan vs True with a sid eof Shatter and StJman, no no. Now we have Andrew/Hokey vs Jason Leary, Dan vs Everyone on Politics, and utter devolution on tribes like Heated Debate and Intellectual Barbarians, where once some degree of enlightened discourse used to at least be attempted, but is now drowned out by heinous choochery.

Since this tribe has lapsed into a kind of ambivalent malaise, may I recommend we offer each other the proverbial popcorn and link to the best (and worst) of the flame wars readily available at our fingertips, at least until we recall how much better we are than them, and begin to engage our own entropic existentialism, and get our own smackdown on. Or at least redefine the hypotenuse. Or something.

Takers?

      The beast needs some freakin' valium. And a keyboard with no caps lock.
      All that foam and rage, it will doubtless break momentarily. I have time.

            Speaking of cripple fights, I had no idea until a tribe friend told me the other day that ROWDY RODDY PIPER was in a movie...They Live! AND that the cripple fight in South Park was based on the big fight scene in it hit-for-hit! What a wonderful thing this is!!!

            Sadly I have been unable to find the movie as a rental but I just ordered a copy via Amazon.

            Vive le crip fight! I am frothing with anticipation.

                        Lucy ,

                        Please send me a copy of 'Rebel Without A Cause' with James Dean, Sol Minneo, and Natalie Wood . Maybe one day we could watch that Kazan classic together . That's a good flick . One of my Dad's favorites. Plus there's 'Marty' filmed in New York City , back around the mid 1950's, around the time Rebel came out . Another good flick . My maternal Grandmother recommended 'Marty' to me .

                            Jason, I love "Marty," too. A true film classic and a wonderful story.

                            I think you might like "They Live!" too though! It's just a kitschy take on the usual aliens invading earth theme.

                                Jason is a parasite who follows Loki into every tribe he belongs to, then spouts his one-note song in every thread, ruining it for everybody else. He has one opinion, which boils down to, "I hate sex, Loki, kitsch, and relativism." He sings his one note for pages and pages, drowning out anyone else in the thread, listening to no one.

                                I agree, Madame, that different viewpoints are what make tribe fun, but Jason will try to drown out every other voice in favour of his own.

                                            On tribe, yes. Yes you are, Jason. You hound people around, stalking them from tribe to tribe, insulting them and ceaselessly trying to enforce your delusional world view on them. That's incredibly rude. The magnitude of this is exacerbated by the hypocrisy of your own boorish behavior, and insistence that you have a viable justification for behaving like a child who got the best action figure in the store. Rude, bossy and delusional, all in one package. Seriously crippled.

                                            Dammit, now I'm in a cripple fight. How did this happen? Who's in charge around here anyway?

                                              No that is not rude, Malvado .

                                                Its the definition of rude. You admit it won't work, yet you continue it anyway. You are being rude, willfully and deliberately to appease someone else's idea of what is right and proper. Willful rudeness, deliberate engagement in insulting abusive behavior, and an unrepentant verbal abusiveness of others. You admit you do no productive activities in the world to make it a better place besides bitch at people on tribe.
                                                Which you admit does not change people. So you are wasting everyone's time, to no good effect. You have logical gaps in your machinations a mile wide, yet you ignore them, convinced you are doing something more than putting your issues on parade for everyone to see. Get some therapy some place besides tribe.

                                                    So, by your own admission, this is entirely fruitless. All you have to offer is words, so ergo, you are destined to fail. I know you like to pretend you didn't say what you've just said, you prat, but do try to keep the basic recall of a small ameoba, will you?

                                                    "An objective appraisal of the matter shows that the logic I have presented is quite cogent ."

                                                    No, your own appraisal does that. Everyone else's appraisal of you is that you seem to be moron who overlooks his own flaws under the pretense he has none.

                                                    "There are NO personal issues on parade . "

                                                    BWAHAHAHA! That statement illustrates your issue of denial and of being the poster child for the harm that shame does to someone.

                                                    You are a perambulating defense mechanism, showboating your own insecurities like a badge of honor. Sadly you are actually psychologically incapable of learning anything about your mistakes, for that would mean you were mistaken, and thus shame-able, and your search for perfection would have thus far been a failure. Your quest is only really driven by fear of shame. You have found the most self-assured boat you can, a wobbly one called the SS Absolutism, and jumped in and paddled furiously about, vainly proclaiming you cannot be further shamed, and shame upon anyone who dare to think otherwise. Its a position you intend to keep you safe from those who would call you names, only in a typically human twist of irony you don't understand how your own inherent hypocrisy of action only fuels the perception of yourself as inadequate. You can never admit anyone else's opinion of you to be well-founded, for again the same defense mechanism that drives you to flaunt your feeble understanding of absolutism as a form of self-validation and self-image reinforcement also cannot let your poorly constructed conclusions be flawed, for that would also mean the destruction of the one philosophy you are desperately clinging to to try to save your emotional self...that same emotional self you try to deny and pretend does not exist. You are psychologically backed in to a corner. You need therapy for the shaming you have received. You are an emotional cripple, which has led you to being an intellectual cripple, unable to validate himself except by attacking others, an act in direct contradiction to his own proclaimed stance of purist morality. This act itself has become transformed by your desperate emotional need to be free from shame as something acceptable, the line crossed in to evil in the name of good, except that it is only a freedom from shame that you seek. Meanwhile you commit evil under the delusion you are doing good.

                                                    Just like most people do.

                                                    Welcome to being a human.

                                                    Don't worry. I don't expect you to understand. You literally are not capable of thinking these thoughts. Your world view is too dependent on avoiding this at all costs. I fully expect you to ignore this all, partly because you lack the education to understand it, but moreso because you are not emotionally able to handle it. You will gloss over it just like you accuse others of doing. Ignore chunks of it because you need to, and latch on to only a few choice phrases where they allow you to insert more of your lame ego-salvaging worldview.

                                                    I pity you. I truly do. You are locked in to needlessly cruel behavior which prevents people from befriending you. It disallows your intellect from adding positive value to the world. Instead you perseverate and petulantly mewl about distinctions which are far more relevant to academics and not at all useful to the users of a service like tribe.net. You have a brain, and a decent one at that. However it is rendered impotent by your inability to deal with your emotional scars and the consequence is that you will never achieve your goals even marginally until you understand humanity better. To do so, you must first understand yourself better. The search will aid your cause. I suggest you waste no time.

                                                    I am done wasting mine with you.

                                                      The term of saying someone has an "issue of denial" is typical self-help book era buzzphrase so often bandied about in the present era of credulous media driven newspeak . It amounts to little more than the fallacy of poisoning the well and the fallacy of the Freudian Rebuff .

                                                      MALVADO POSTED : Your quest is only really driven by fear of shame.

                                                      RESPONSE : No, it is driven by a love of duty and what Descartes calls 'clear, distinct ideas.'

                                                      RESPONSE: Again you are guity of fallacy of the Freudian Rebuff. The motive for me clinging to absolutist beliefs has nothing to do with that Tommyrot of self-image reinforcement nor self-validation . It is motivated by a love of consistency and Duty itself .

                                                      MALVADO POSTED : You are an emotional cripple, which has led you to being an intellectual cripple, unable to validate himself except by attacking others, an act in direct contradiction to his own proclaimed stance of purist morality.

                                                      RESPONSE: The motive for denouncing the false beliefs of others is NOT to validate myself , but to defend Truth and to uphold virtue, therefore there is NOTHING whatseover antithetical to the stance of purist morality in doing so .

                                                        Perhaps you should explain what DID. Be specific. Use words you can spell. Don't invent facts.

                                                        BINGO! And the only "clear, distinct idea" you have along the idea of "duty" is shame.

                                                        If people flat out *refuse* to be shamed, even after your best effort, it means you've FAILED. Most of these conversations are attempts to get you to come to grips with this and stop your mealymouthed avoidance and excuse mongering.

                                                        Of course, there's always the troll's reward of simply being dense and obnoxious for its own sake. This form of vanity seems to have you by the schlong.

                                                        One would think a love of "clear, distinct ideas" would mean you have a greater care with facts and you don't.

                                            I'm touching myself right now. There's a 300 lb guy behind me oiling up; we just got a big package of photographs of Jason Leary and we're going to masturbate to them. We have a neat idea for a webcam / social network: it's 100% free *unless* you want to reply to Jason Leary on the forum; then, it's 10¢/word, $3.99 per 30 sec. of video.

                                            The live feed of me and Ambrose rubbing them out repeater-rifle style to the soothing sound of Victoria reading J Leary posts aloud is all free, all the time, though. "Draw them in," says our lawyer.

                                                          Hey fucktard. By the way. Telling my wife what to do will get you booted from this tribe pretty quick. I'm not a big fan of booting people, even you. But this "must do" line of shit from you to her ends on this tribe.

                                                          If she wants to keep that party going elsewhere, that's Kool and the Gang. She's more than capable of taking on your tired act. I truly enjoy her slapping your nappy ass up one thread and down another, but when I has the power, as I do currently enjoy here, bossy statements that try to tell her what to do are a no-go. In addition to being completely rude, your farcical understanding of psychology and social norms makes you telling anyone what to do essentially an insult. Its like a one-legged man telling a two-legged one how to play hopscotch.

                                                          You ain't equipped, son. Knock that crap off.

                                                          Oh, and your condescending "young lady" crapola can stop too. At least here. Its also heinously rude. If you want this to remain a Leary-allowed zone, keep a respectful tone to her on this tribe. No BS from you about how it is somehow respectful either, or I'll boot you for that too. As I said, not a big fan of the delete button, but ya rankle me enough, it's gonna leave a mark on your backside on your way out the virtual door.

                                                      Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

                                                      "The cat 's out of the proverbial bag , Molly. You've shown what you support with that dry hump business ...."

                                                      see, this is the sort of the thing i'm referring to in the other tribe where the "jason" character gets a little too cute with his character. apparently, we're supposed to believe that this is actually what the character thinks. in reality, somebody like "jason" wouldn't be able to engage in this kind of light banter with molly. a personality like the one this "jason" puppet has would either react violently, like the guy who was running the blackbeard puppet for a while? you know, those rapid-fire series of posts where one has difficulty telling if the poster is drunk or just plain nutzilla? that sort of thing. either that, or it would be ignored completely.

                                                      it's occured to me since my first deconstruction of "jason's" driver in 'intellectual barbarians' that his sexual shame ordeals may be Slightly more complex than i originally thought. not that much, but Slightly. the way i've got it figured right now, the guy doesn't get laid because he thinks he Can't - he thinks that girls won't like him because he's not an asshole like loki is supposed to be, and he's combining a martyr-complex feedback loop with a complete transferrance of sexuality onto Loki.

                                                      i reckon there's a wrinkle i may have missed. we all seem to agree that "jason's" driver has sexual shame issues. i figure the transfer of his sexual desire from the women he thinks he wants but also thinks he can't get to loki isn't quite as twisted as i thought. 'cause, you know, sexually fixating on loki is only odd (as in 'out of the ordinary') if the subject is not typically sexually attracted to men.

                                                      i'm starting to think that the guy's queer.

                                                      this is not a pejorative - not coming from me, at least - and it would explain the little bits that didn't quite fit my theory.

                                                      Love is the law, love under will.

You don't like that do you Mr.Rockstar, that even in this present dark decade there are WOMEN who agree with what I agree with .? That makes you wince inwardly doesn't it ?

                                                                Give me an ethereal girl with a black beret , blue stockings, a granny dress and/or old hand me down capri jeans or bellbottom pants , sitting in an art gallery (or cafe) over a sketchbook that she draws and writes in , when she is not playing the viola., or cello, or harp ,accoustic guitar, or some other dreamy instrument . Perhaps she works part time as a social worker or even has some non-descript day job transferring phone calls , but there she be earnestly pining over Tolstoy , or the poems of Holderlin, Novalis , or Mallarme, or the plays of Beckett , Chekhov, and Strindberg, in the cafe , thin tendrils of hair falling over her temple of her dreamy, earnest oval face, almond eyes peering contemplatively .

                                                                That's where its at .That's among the best sort of woman .

                                                                Instead an authentic deal ....a single minded young woman who is *not* of this present era ...even if she is chronologically young ...an old souled girl ...who sits with a shaft of autumnal light traversing her face .....Those are the best kind. The early 1990's had more of them .

                                                                'A stone, a leaf, an unfound door, and all the forgotten faces...'

                                                                Well I recall, an afternoon around the early autumn of 1991, as I was sitting in the library of a local private college in Lakeland , Florida...(if memory serves rightly I was reading an astronomy magazine or astronomy book as I was wont to do on such afternoons) ...when a young woman with a Holly Hobby looking hat and one of those dreamy oval faces (...as I recall she had dark brown hair) ...mentioning in passing some book that some acquaintance had mentioned about the hypothesis that one of the first objects an infant sees after it is born , influences the way it develops spiritually in its later life. To this present day, I wish I had asked her to explain , for she was describing it to one of the desk clerks while i sat in the reading room of the lobby. Granted I am skeptical of how veridical such a notion is, but it was a fascinating one ...not something banal and typical like, say, the prophecies of Nostra-whats-his-name, but something far more exotic . And to hear her tell of it and see her face endowed her with all the strange beauty of a sphinx ....Wish i had followed her and asked her what it all meant ....I would like to probe the scenario with the utmost critical dialectic ---tear it to shreds , if it is some magical abracadebraism ...but , nonetheless , find out perhaps a greater riddle ...*what lead her to seek out such fascinating ...though possibly nonsensical cogitations* a perhaps far more profound cogitation .

                                                                (And the notion of a baby getting influenced by the first thing it sees in the room, where its birth takes place, may well be nonsense ...but if it is pure nonsense even that is preferrable to lateral thinking ...lesser of two drawbacks....)

                                                                That young woman was worth seeking ....

A drowned rat would look better in a mini skirt that Liz Hurley woman ! She is a testament to how far downhill the fim scene in the UK has gone downhill / Her vulgarly asymmetric frame with her oversize thighs looks like an affront to the order of creation . A woman with thighs like that ought to keep her damn ugly, vampy looking legs covered .

                                                                Consider the contrast with Twiggy: who looked ladylike in many photos taken of her while wearing a mini-skirt, or the many ethereal figure skaters who had dreamy , chaste thin looking legs even while wearing short skirts , or the ballerina from the late 1950's and early 1960's: the exquisite Allegra Kent---who Joseph Cornell included in his collages .Those women were exquisite. Especially , Allegra Kent who dispalyed a dreamy decorum in the phots taken of her .

Granted, I wish them no bodily harm ...and it is their consitutional right to live as they wish without being arrested, and as a civil libertarian I would defend that right ---with the caveat that they *not* hurt any person, animal nor the ecology physically .

                              RESPONSE: Yes, indeed . You have good taste in films . Marty shows the cityscapes of New York back when there was anularity and lights that weren't tacky at night . Ernest Borgnine was great in 'Marty' . There ought to be more regular fellas like him again , instead of squishy, seedy actors, like those guys from that trash movie titled 'Dude, Where's My Car?' .

If that's the one , then I did see that . If that's the one, then I thought it was moere of a cautionary tale instead of kitsch , for yours truly disdains kitsch .

                              << He has one opinion, which boils down to, "I hate sex, Loki, kitsch, and relativism." >>

                              He has no idea what kitsch and relativism ARE, but *does* seem aware Loki's kicked his ass on numerous occasions and behaves with the customary sense of Christian forbearance over it.

                              This, I submit, doesn't even rise to the level of an "opinion."

                              << I don't like the liason with McCarthy >>

                              Kazan had NOTHING TO DO with McCarthy, dumbass. EK named names to HUAC to have his career. He was a rat and got all kinds of plaudits for rat-art like "On the Waterfront", which featured the seldom-attempted (for good reason) theme of the Informer-as-Hero. The only reason people remember that meretricious piece-of-shit at all is because Brando and Steiger are in it and they're both awesome.

                              His rep is one of the most wildly overinflated in movie history because of the Tinseltown Establishment's filthy conscience over the blacklist. According to such reasoning, Kazan HAS to be a genius or else his destruction of other people to save himself had no moral point, no "takeaway", as the locals say.

                              Then you actually *screen* one of his canonical films and they're the most dated, precious, over-the-top, censor-ridden excuses for "social realism" imaginable. He sacrificed his honor and ideals (and wrecked the lives everyone he turned in) JUST for snoozy bullshit like "Splendor in the Grass"? He commanded top scripts and actors, but who can REALLY remember anything Kazanian about "East of Eden"? Or is all you remember one conflicted moody fellow named James Dean?

                              Seriously, Kazan's a punk. Compared to those of Sam Peckinpah or Don Siegel, his films display the moral sense of a gila monster.

                              The idea Jason would embrace the cinema of this heavily compromised creep tells you a LOT about him, none of it comporting with the politicized-up-the-ass aesthetic ideals he hectors other people about.

Granted those were deplorable acts , NOT to be exonerated in any way . Nonetheless, the character of James Dean displayed great virtue in other ways . He was quite kind to the lonely shy boy named Plato --played by Sol Minneo . He even tried to keep his character from getting shot . Furthermore, he wanted to turn himself into the police , when the rival ran off the cliff after he participated in the chicken race with him . The people who played his parents were more concerned with keeping up appearances /protecting reputation ,instead of moral contrition and opposed him turning himself in !

                                  Whom you hate because he humiliates you before your many enemies, so you must destroy him, preferably before those enemies so that they may fear you so they can know God.

                                  Because it is a FAILED example of social realism, being shot full of compromise and studio bs to begin with.

                                Well, audience response is pretty much the same as what you'd get out of people being force-fed the same unsophisticated satire day in and day out, so your theory is on solid ground so far.

                                Come to think, "the same unsophisticated satire day in and day out" is the precise fate of MOST Tribe trolling, from the self-lampooning meatheads in the politics tribes to the ever-more involuted Troll Wars. Kind of a group triumph of no-mind over never-matter...

                                  You do have relativist tendencies when it comes to sex, Jason, you admitted it a while ago when you said you'd inflict your future beloved with your ugly penis for purposes of procreation. It was pointed out that this was not necessary, that there are many children who need adopting. You have chosen, even though there are other options, to have sex. Because you want to pass on your own DNA (you are allowed to name an adopted child whatever you wish, by the way). You've made an exception to your own rule based on your own desire, thus making sex for the purposes of procreation okay relative to having sex for pleasure. A true absolutist would have absolutely no sex whatsoever.

                                  There is no avoiding taking physical pleasure in the act, by the way, especially for the penis bearer. You must have an orgasm in order to impregnate your future wife, and orgasms are undeniably pleasurable. It's a physiological truth, there's no getting around it.

                                  You might want to ease up on relativism, since you practice a form of it yourself. Or go shame yourself into oblivion, as you are more likely to do.

                                      The point is that it is something you want, not something you need. You want to fulfill a personal desire, therefore you are willing to bend the rules.

                                      But let's say for a moment that it was a need (even though it is not). There is such a thing as artificial insemination, which would make the infliction of your penis on your future wife unnecessary.

                                          Yes, but you made those stipulations in order to allow yourself a desire, whether it is a desire for yourself or someone else, it is desire and not need.

                                          Putting aside that the characteristics you speak of are, again, a desire and not a need, I don't think you understand what artificial insemination is. Your semen can be used to fertilize your beloved's ovum, your penis and she never have to be in the same room. True, you would have to masturbate in order to produce the sample, but you would be doing it to save your lady love from ever experiencing the horrors of sex.

That apparent quote from William Jennings Bryan has gotten me much less enthusiastic about him now .Damn ....I'm suprised to see as I scrolled along that text , that LBJ who authorized so mcuh of the civil rights legislation such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act, is ascribed apparent quotes of being against anti-lynching legislation in the earlier decades of the 20th century and against civil rights legislation prior to being in the oval office . I'm trying to recall , it has been sometime since I was reading the 'Fire Next Time' by James Baldwin . If memory serves righly, Baldwin reported that LBJ was quite committed to the cause of African Americans . Those apparent quotes come as quite a shock .

                                                Again, there would be the other stipulations . It would be done in a dark--- or very dimly lit room --for the sight of ANY naked man is an appalling , ghastly sight . There would be soothing music to calm her nerves and distract her . All that will be done out of regard for HER .

                                                RESPONSE: NOT at all . She would *not* be debauched by going through the motions of intercourse, if it is done in a dark room missionary position with no kinks . The tranquillizers--- be they pharmaceutical or herbal-- would help to prevent the sense of jarring excitement ...to help her detach from the process . She would know that it was merely for the sake of having a child that we were engaged in the act of coitus. There would be no wildness , no high jinks in our bed. It would be looked at as a merely necessary but somewhat onerous task to be gone through ---given the vicissitudes of nature since the Fall of man ---for the purpose of having a child .

                                                Such activity is NOWHERE near the depravity of abominations such as fellatio and other kinks ---which we woulds avoid more than the bubonic plague .


                                                The objections to something as grotesque as masturbation (as a means of providing the elements of insemination) --is NOT objected to on the bases of mere personal affective preference --like say, one would prefer a good tasting food to a bland one, or feeling good , instead of feeling physically bad . Instead, the objection to trash like masturbation is based on ethical criteria . The experience has an intrinsically distasteful phallocentrism about it ,

                                                RESPONSE: Nope. that's a misnomer .

                                                • It sounds to me like you are just hell bent on having sex. I've laid out quite a few options for you, and you've turned your nose up at them all. So you want to pass along your DNA for your ancestors and not yourself. It's still a want, no matter how noble it may be. Your want is based on sentiment, not need. Homage is sentiment, and sentiment, while nice, does not constitute necessity. The perspective that the ending of your particular genetic makeup would be tragic is unique to you, most of the world will not be affected either way.

                                                  Fine, so you want to create your own offspring. That's a valid choice (emphasis on choice). You hold that it is somehow more ethical to deprive a woman of her senses, for an act you agree is distasteful at best, than to masturbate. This is where your naivete regarding sex comes into play. First, Valium and herbal substances (and what herb are you referring to?) are nowhere near powerful enough to block out the physical sensations of sex, or even dull them enough to make a woman accept what is happening if she is inherently against it. She will feel pain, if it is her first time, and she may experience pleasure. It's a physiological reaction that cannot be blocked. Sometimes rape victims have orgasms, it doesn't mean they wanted to be raped. If your wife shares your values, she will be greatly damaged by the thought of taking pleasure in a sex act. If your wife shares your values, she will be damaged by the experience even if you do it while she is unconscious. The knowledge of the act will be enough. How is it more ethical to put her through this than masturbating once into a cup? If she feels as strongly about sex as you do, whether she gives consent or not, what she will feel will be tantamount to rape.

                                                  Then, there is your part. In order to maintain an erection and achieve ejaculation, you must be physically aroused. If your mind is not in the game, this will be incredibly difficult. But, lets say you manage it whilst despising it. You will experience physical pleasure that cannot be properly described, it is so overwhelming and profound. You will enjoy the sex whether you want to or not, men can't help it. Most people look at it as a blessing, but you've made it clear that you do not. There is no separating in into an onerous task that must be done for the sake of procreation, it simply isn't possible. If you have sex you will experience physical pleasure beyond anything you have ever dreamed possible. Perhaps you know this, and this is why you are so determined to do so.

                                                  It should be added that you will need to have sex multiple times, perhaps for months or years, before you impregnate her. Getting pregnant your first time seems to be reserved for teenagers in the back seat of a car. How many times will you make her suffer through that? Make no mistake, she will suffer.

                                                  "Such activity is NOWHERE near the depravity of abominations such as fellatio and other kinks ---which we woulds avoid more than the bubonic plague ."

                                                  This statement is pure rationalization. "Y" is not as bad as "x", therefore "y" is permissible. This is why I say you have relativist tendencies.

                                                    RESPONSE: Though it is not a need , but a want it is still a totally NONselfish want for it is other directed --directed to the regard of others , NOT directed to regard of myself . NON-selfish wants transcend in terms of ethical importance both personal needs and personal wants ...they are in a quite different category than either of those .

The residue of their lifeworld would lose out potentially on getting shared with others who might cherish it . If I don't have a son who , say, in many ways is like my maternal Grandfather maybe, even in the sense of shared mannerisms, good habits ect ..then many people who could talk and see that prospective son...should he be born and re-instantiate those traits would lose out on the sense of cherishing and being edified by that experience and , furthermore, my Grandfather's legacy would to some extent (though I hope to present as much as I can memoirs of him)..would potentially lose out form a son with his requiste DNA not being born ...

                                                    RESPONSE: With her explicit consent *temporarily* she could mute her senses for the sake of comfort as well as edification for her when we as husband and wife have intercourse *only* for the sake of *conceiving a child* .

                                                    RESPONSE : The extent of distastefulness could be contained and held in check by her volunarily muting some sensory intake and also by the mutual agreement of both of us to maintain single-minded resolve *against* developing any penchant for lewdness..against divertissements of a carnal sort .

                                                    RESPONSE: What herb ? Well I don't know offhand. I and she will have to consult the herbalists and/or their publications to find out which herbs are most effective at staving off pain and also at putting one in a tranquil NON-excited state so as to prevent the mood of affective abandon which often accompanies sexual arousal .

                                                    MOLLY POSTED :are nowhere near powerful enough to block out the physical sensations of sex, or even dull them enough to make a woman accept what is happening if she is inherently against it.

                                                    RESPONSE:

                                                    (1) Well let us review more carefully, what she is inherently against . Ostensibly, she would be inherently against the sense of increasing excitement that often accompanies intercourse , and being a woman of virtue and refinement , she would be *against* the sight of a phallus and handling it --which she would *not* be subject to, given the stipulations mentioned before .The act of coitus itself --when such other features that we've just mentioned are blocked out -- would be far less detrimental--- from an ethical and esthetic standpoint-- once those other sorts of features have been negated .

                                                    (2) . Have you done an inventory, Molly, of every tranquilizer and tranquillizing herb that has ever been amassed to know that there is no tranquiilizer pharmaceutical or herbal that could if she chose to use it cause her to become affectively detached from the act with a peaceful flattened affect ...NOT excited and not feeling any bodily discomfort .???? Are you sure ?

                                                    MOLLY POSTED :She will feel pain, if it is her first time, and she may experience pleasure. It's a physiological reaction that cannot be blocked.

                                                    RESPONSE: Are you 100 % sure about that , or could there possibly be a tranquillozer and /or herbal equivalent that might be so potent that if she chose to use it would cause her to become detached completely .

                                                    MOLLY POSTED :Sometimes rape victims have orgasms, it doesn't mean they wanted to be raped. If your wife shares your values, she will be greatly damaged by the thought of taking pleasure in a sex act.

                                                    RESPONSE: If she braces her mind with the thought that she will not become attached to the desire for more of that feeling..if she looks at as a momentary fleeting experience , not to be sought nor held onto nor wanted again (the way people in meditation view the momentary distractions in internal dialogue which momentarily distract from the object of meditation --until one returns to it again) then she could know that such an experience if NOT craved nor prized , would not be tainting from an ethical standpoint , then she could avoid a sense of defilement .

                                                    RESPONSE: NOT when one considers that a good portion of the detriment from an ethical standpoint invovled with the act of sex comes from the feeling of mounting excitement / the mood of abandon . The other factors of detriment would be with couples who do it with the lights on , and see something as unattractive and vulgar looking as the phallus , the noises of caterwauling that couples sometimes do ect...which won't be a factor with my wife to be and I , in the first place because we will be prudes .
                                                    Now that is a caveat made about just standard missionary position intercourse . Anything *other* than that, is *out of the question* , in the first place .

Again , it is the excitement factor that is most of the detriment from a moral standpoint . When that is held in check , muted, and/ or braced against by single-minded ideological resolve (and the other factors like the exposure of the phallus is negated) then the act itself becomes virtually neutral, in terms of detriment ..

                                                    RESPONSE: I assure you, Molly, that is *not* why . With single minded ideology , it is indeed possible to still designate the physical pleasure gained by such an action to be something put into a 'Do NOT cherish' and 'do NOT cultivate' .

                                                    Ideology can make a person quite inflexible in regard to final personality orientation , even in the face of such hormonal wiles . It is enough that a person be resolute ...so fanatically single-minded in ideation (which as you probably know I regard as a good trait) as to designate something as bad and seek *not* to cultivate it once the incidental encounter of it , which is merely ancillary to a greater task, has been shown to be no longer along the path of the more important task ---or to make the phrasing more plain ...once a couple has its kids then a guy-- if he puts his mind to self-discpline/ single-mindedness ---can refuse to let any flexibility creep into his mind ..refuse any flexibility that would incline him to want to have sex beyond the time that the certain desired amount of children have been conceived , out of that misguided desire for that physical pleasure .

                                                    That sort of single-minded counter-instinctive , counter-what-feels-natural, resolve may seem very strange and artificial to you and a lot of other people in the present era, so much so that they may want to quip something in a sarcastic vein like , "Sure, right...wait till he gets some of that bedroom time " yada , yada . Yet , however , artifical it is , it certainly is volitionally possible for someone to adhere to that single minded resolve .

                                                    Yours truly (and I state the following not as a boast for I'm mad at myself I did *not* always maintain such resolve in younger years) , has , during a number of the 40 years (and two months) he has been alive , done a number of strange and artificial activities and done so readily and willingly ...and I hope that none of the participants here in the message board equivocate that into some tawdry witticism of some projected scenario which wasn't what I meant at all . Though in many sitcoms , contemporary movies it is a popular motif for people to sally forth with some sort of resolution or resolve about something --such as celibacy--or you- name- it , only to become later in anticlimatic humor a shoe- in for the very activity that they swore they'd never get involved in ...it is indeed possible for someone to be just so earnestly committed to precious ..quaint , so-called "crackpot" ideals as to *not* do that at all .

                                                    And when people indeed do *not* do what the sitcom people do ..when people do not lose resolve ..when they *refuse* to go the so-called "human" ..earthy way of all flesh (in regards the way they live) do you think it makes the news headlines ? No, no more likely to make headlines than a lone boy scout somehwere who still was quaint enough to literally help an old lady across a street ...

                                                    So the bottom line is : that I won't start to want that feeling of physical pleasure for its own sake . Even if I don't strain with each fibre of my nerves, while in the midst of intercourse with my wife, to resist that feeling of pleasure ..the goal of said intercourse, which is only to conceive children , that does NOT mean that I will develop a flexibility that leads me to want that feeling of visceral sex pleasure for its own sake , once the attempts at having children are done .

                                                    RESPONSE : Saying that there are degrees of badness, or (to describe the matter more precisely), degrees of potential detriment to a given activity , is NOT relativism . That sort of "you-do-it-too" switcharoo I've noticed tends to be a pattern of misconception with relativists .

                                                    Relativism is , instead , when someone claims the same activity, or way of thinking, can be somehow both good and bad at the same time (which is a ridiculous claim) or claims that whether it is good or bad is all somehow a matter of so-called "perspective" / perception or opinion . That is often what is meant by that claptrap about so-called "shades of grey" <---Those are the claims I have infinite hatred for .

                                                    However, claiming that some activities have worse potentials for degrees of badness than others is NOT relativism

                                                    To affirm that, say, torture is a worse misdeed than , say, shoplifting , and that shoplifting (NOT when the starving man who steals to feed and stay alive , but shoplifting out of avarice) is worse than merely being too slothful to finally get out of bed and pick up one's neighbor's paper one afternoon while they were on vacation like one said one would ect . , is NOT relativism . Degrees of badness are roughly quantifiable in principle .

                                                    That having been said , barring the special circumstances involving courses of actions that are beset what is currently often called by that misnomer of a phrase "necessary evils" or "lesser of two evils" (..the latter which is a little less misconstructed a phrase) , one should strive always for the most optimal good ..and barring those badly stacked decks of circumstance , one should strive to avoid all badness even the lesser degree variety . Please parse what I am affirming here carefully so you don't lose the subtle distinctions here ...

                                                    Furthermore, in ethics when contemplating what are wrongly called ("necessary evils" ...yours truly does not like that term holds it to be a misnomer) there is also what is called the loss versus benefit analysis --where the 'benefit' is guaged in terms potential , prospective benefit to others , *not* to self , where one measures the level of detriment with some course of action which is the apparently only course of action , given the vicissitudes of a particular state of affairs, in which to achieve some goal (whose upshot will reflect some goodness, or opportunity for goodness) with the level of goodness, which will be made manifest as a result of undergoing that course of action . If the level of manifested goodness (or opportunity thereof) for pursuing that goal is *less than* the loss of goodness wrought by the dynamics of that course of action, then the course of action flunks the test of a loss benefit analysis . However, if it exceeds it , and exceeds it by *more* than merely some small fraction , then it is ethically permissable .

                                                    RESPONSE: Well, definitely NOT sexist . I certainly support the full equality of man and woman /husband and wife. I don't want my wife to obey me . (I will however seek a woman who has the same outlook and ideology that I do for a wife) .Furthermore, I cringe at the horny types of men who treat women as pieces of meat for sex .

                                                    You might have some plausibility in that I might be *somewhat* not so well- versed in some of the mechanics of sex, however, It is highly doubtful that the problems in implementing those tenative solutions are as intractible as you maintain .
                                                    • It's bedtime for me, so some of this will be taken up later. When I speak of valium and other tranquilizers, I speak from experience. There's more to the story, but I don't know if I want to share, or that you would want to read about it. So long as a woman is conscious, she is going to be traumatized if she has such an aversion to sex and penises.

                                                      As far as the herbs go, the ones that would produce the desired effects are essentially unregulated drugs. Herbal remedies, as it stands now, have no regulatory agency to answer to. Prescription medication, on the other hand, has to meet certain standards set by the FDA, have been through many studies to check for side-effects and contraindications. Herbal supplements have not. For instance, St. John's Wort is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), just like Prozac, Zoloft, and Lexapro. The companies that sell St. John's Wort are under no obligation to tell you just how potent it is, how long to steep it if it's tea, etc. Furthermore, SSRI's must be taken consistently at an unfluctuating dosage if one is not to suffer withdrawals, mood swings, and depression. Too much of an SSRI can cause serotonin syndrome, a potentially life threatening condition. The FDA makes sure that the companies that produce Zoloft et al conform to certain guidlines and disclosures to the patients. The company that makes the St. John's Wort tea is under no such obligation.

                                                      This is only one example, there are many more. All I'm saying is that if you do execute this terrible plan, please do not compound it by using an herb strong enough to alter your beloved's state of mind. If you must use something, get it prescribed by a competent doctor.

                                                      Again, more tomorrow. Good night.
                                                    • RESPONSE: The sessions could be staggerred out; they would *not* have to be consecutive ...There are pregnacy tests that could be helpful as aids to know when to stop sessions . Furthermore, you seem rather pessimistic about the prospect of strong herbs and/or tranquillizers at staving off the prospect of pain for her during intercourse . Could such downrating of the effectiveness of such substances at staving off pain , be overblown pessimism ???

                                                      This is not pessimism, it is reality. In my wilder days I took the strongest substances out there, and I know that they do not numb a woman enough to not know she is having sex. In the course of my illness I have been prescribed drugs that rival anything illegal, and it would not be enough for what you're talking about. The penetration of the vagina is incredibly invasive, whether you can see the object being used or not. The after effects last into the next day. When this experience is not wanted, it is extremely psychologically damaging, whether verbal consent is given or not. This is why even date rape carries such stiff penalties. There must be emotional consent, and I just don't buy that a woman you would marry would be able to give it. There is nothing ethical about getting stoned (and that is what it is, no matter how delicately you phrase it) in order to do a distasteful thing. It is monstrous, what you propose. I challenge you to find a doctor that would prescribe your wife something strong enough to knock her out for sex - it would violate his/her ethics. Better yet, find a woman willing to go through it. There is nothing worth doing that should require drugs to accomplish it. The fact that you would put a woman through such an ordeal makes you incredibly selfish, regardless of your "other-directed" desire to pass on your genes, which I still think is a load of crap.

                                                      One final suggestion, as a last resort, there is the possibility of ejaculation brought on by an electric shock to the testicles. No masturbation required. You could take on the discomfort you are so ready to inflict on your love and use artificial means for insemination.

                                                      Again, that you would consider doing this to a woman - especially one you claim to love and respect - is disgusting, monstrous, and selfish. There is no caveat or stipulation that can make it otherwise.

                                                        RESPONSE: Well I believe that you have tried a wide gamut of mood modifying substances , but I still must raised the prospect that in this big globe of ours there could be some mood-modifying substances that you haven't tried yet , that could make the process of intercourse feel quite non-invasive . You have tried many and I beleive you but I would raise the argument that I doubt you've tried every single mood-modifying substance under the sun . On this vast Earth there very well could be a mood-modifying substance somewhere whose properties you are unfamiliar with .

                                                        Another factor to consider (and I thank the Creator for the fact I'm about to mention ) is that I have a somewhat small phallus, so that the process of intercourse is likely to feel less invasive, for my wife to be, on account of that .

                                                        RESPONSE: 'Getting stoned' refers to the strong high from smoking cannabis. To apply the phrase getting stoned to the scenario I was recommending is a misnomer . You don't think that it is possible that the sort of woman I would marry would freely consent to using a mood -modifying substance as a means of preventing the pain (as well as preventing the libido excitement) ..pain and libido excitement... the two factors that she would find distasteful , if such a substance were available ?

                                                        Why do you maintain that the sort of woman who has the outlook I would be looking for in a wife , would be unwilling to use such a legal mood-modifying substance to stave off those two undesirables (pain and libidio excitement) IF the substance did work the way I mentioned ?

                                                        RESPONSE: What I was describing was a substance that she would freely choose to take and which would NOT make her totally unconscious but one that would numb away feelings of pain and libido excitement .

                                                        Surgery is often done with legal drugs ---anaesthesia --would you state that surgery theat requires anaesthesia is not worth doing if it requires those legal drugs used in anaesthesia ?

                                                        RESPONSE: No, quite the opposite in light of three factors .

                                                        (1). I am NOT motivated to engage in such intercourse for personal fun or enjoyment of any

                                                        (2). I am NOT motivated to engage in such intercourse out of any self-pride/self-esteem

                                                        (3) . It is for the sake of comfort for her that I would support the decision she freely made to use a legal mood-modifying substance to numb away and , hence, prevent any pain or libido excitement the two factors that she would find distasteful .

                                                        RESPONSE: So you don't think I am sincere when I say that I have an other -directed desire to pass on the genes of my ancestors for their sake, and *not* for me ?

                                                        Thank you for telling me about that method , Molly ! That's good data for a prude like me to know !

I'm quite saddened and rather disappointed that you disparage the dreamy ethereal , ingenue girls with skinny chaste legs --that's the best kind of women !!!

                                    Furthermore, yours truly is quite aghast that you would disparage the wise faction of feminists who vehemently denounce phallocentrism and reject the vulgarity of liberated sex .

                                      Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

                                      “Give me an ethereal girl with a black beret , blue stockings, a granny dress and/or old hand me down capri jeans or bellbottom pants , sitting in an art gallery (or cafe) over a sketchbook that she draws and writes in , when she is not playing the viola., or cello, or harp ,accoustic guitar, or some other dreamy instrument . Perhaps she works part time as a social worker or even has some non-descript day job transferring phone calls , but there she be earnestly pining over Tolstoy , or the poems of Holderlin, Novalis , or Mallarme, or the plays of Beckett , Chekhov, and Strindberg, in the cafe , thin tendrils of hair falling over her temple of her dreamy, earnest oval face, almond eyes peering contemplatively.”

                                      ye gods, the funny thing is he’s describing me to a T – right down to answering phones in a social work office!

                                      he’s Got to be a fake, no?

                                      what’s most interesting here is that he believes there’s a Certain Type of healthy woman that does not enjoy sex. this is where the real personality of the sock-puppet’s driver shows through (and it’s been evidenced and pointed out in other threads) – the Dangerous part.

                                      woe betide those of us who cosmetically fit the image but do not live up to “jason’s” expectations! we’ll likely end up on the bottom of a lake somewhere if we end up catching his eye.

                                      “or the many ethereal figure skaters who had dreamy , chaste thin looking legs even while wearing short skirts”

                                      ah, now we see where the trouble began. the thin leg of the very young girl – without the curves of womanhood – appears indistinguishable from the leg of a young boy who has not yet grown significant body hair. he’s eroticizing the pre-pubescent - women with obvious sexual characteristics seem to disgust him with our curves.

                                      “There is a faction of radical femminists who deride sex also and *lament* the phallocentric society. I count them as allies”

                                      dude, phyllis schlafly is deader than dixieland. all that remains are parody players in styrafoam-straw hats.

                                      “No I do NOT have a disdain for absolutism . Absolutism is of the TRUTH .”

                                      come on, “jason.” you can’t expect us to believe that someone with your (supposed) vehemence and crusader-mentality is going to make his own movement look so damn idiotic, do you? you underestimate us.

                                      “I want to pass on the genetic characteristics of my maternal grandparents , father and ancestors so there is NO relativism there NOT even in regard to that issue .”

                                      again, are we supposed to believe this? anyone who Actually espouses the beliefs you claim to hold would have his sperm taken out with needles and resort to artificial insemination.

                                            You've made so many mistakes and said so many asinine things, it would be personally degrading (as well as a colossal waste of time taken from more creative pursuits) to do anything like that with you again. Besides, line-by-line deconstruction only inspires more and worse lies and whoppers and distortions and inaccuracies and fictionalized biography from you, as I and others have learned.

                                            This makes you worse than ANY "sex-positive" hipster ever heard of.

                                            Well, it didn't get published in Toole's lifetime and we owe it to his mom and Walker Percy that it ever saw print at all.

                                            What's funny is that Ignatius is 1) voluble about everything, to the point of lunacy and 2) a hideous prude who goes on and on about the immorality he can't take his eyes from and 3) a compulsive masturbator who never EVER admits even to himself that he is does it, even while he's doing it! He also believes everything about his life (even his daffy wardrobe) is ruled by strict aesthetic and moral principles only he knows anything about.

                                            Admittedly, as Loki says, Ignatius is an educated, highly intelligent man who would rather die a thousand deaths before suffering a misspelling or scholarly error in his writings. He loved to send anonymous letters denouncing people, so a contemporary Ignatius likely *would* wind up on Tribe.net as an alt or six.

                                        Yeah I've totally seen the parallels between J and Ignatius J. Reilly; J is ten years older, though, and reports he does not masturbate - making Ignatius J. Reilly actually more respectable than the slightly-more-decrepit liar real-life version of the caricature. Also, Ignatius is actually familiar with the terms he employs and well educated in the fields he is moved to obsessively embrace. J is a dirtier, more chaotic, vastly more relativistic version of Ignatius - with several times more loathsome-brand perversity and minus any hint of integrity. In their place we must settle for ... well, the lack thereof. There is no mitigating quality, unless you count the occasional hilarious disbelief one briefly indulges in when getting a load of J's recentest stupendous gaffe or lie.

                                            RESPONSE: Malarky , Solve. The sex negative feminists are the authentic feminists who realize that turning oneself into a slave of libido does not enhance the dignity of womankind (which ought to be obvious by know) but merely relagates the females who do into being silly carciatures for a locker room mentality. The counterargument which claims that with women who are well heeled at the ways of deploying sexuality that somehow they can utilize the hankering of men for sex towards a metaphorical leash or chain around their neck as well , is spurious and pathetic .

                                            A mutual distribution of metaphorical chains around both genders is NO liberation nor true empowerment of either gender. Just because the guards and the prisoners both have chains around them is no substitute for dismantling the metaphorical prison . A mutual distribution of chains is *not* liberation !

                                            Libido and its cultural trappings of *mystification* are among the worst of metaphorical chains .

If so , then you are touting the same mendacious mystification as Lokifreign . Young women with thin legs (if they are long then them being thin is a must) or at least short legs present an attractive presentation of those limbs .(Barring scars, knobby knees , or other detracting factors )

                                            SOLVE POSTED :so far, you've said you're only interested in girls who don't present Any secondary sexual characteristics, with the possible exception of breasts, which haven't come up yet.

                                            RESPONSE: You refer to breasts as "secondary sexual characteristics" . It is important to probe what you mean by that turn of phrase ? I hope you are NOT associating something like breasts with the act of sexual intercourse . The relations of breasts is quite inadverdant and after the fact, since breasts are milk glands designed to give milk to the infants that are supposed to be produced by sexual intercourse when it is done for the right purpose (the right purpose being conceiving offspring) .

                                            It is a damn shame people make a false association between breasts and the act of sex itself and its vulgar excitement --or with sex-like forms of phallic activity (the latter being even worse) .

                                            Yours truly prefers ladylike women (i.e. legally adult women who are NOT interested in getting involved in so-called "Sexual maturity") !

                                            Liberated sex is , after all , totally antithetical to refinement .

              You're in for quite a treat. Roddy is much saner in the movie than he is (was?) in the ring, but it's still fun.

                It hasn't arrived yet! Maybe tomorrow.

                Sane or insane, all I know is his butt looks mighty fine in the youtube preview! I'm hoping for at least a couple steamy nude scenes.

                That's one of my favourite movie quotes! That and a few from Army of Darkness, like, "Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick!" Lucy, if you haven't seen the Evil Dead movies, put them on your list.
