Title: Controversial Topics, BACK FROM THE DEEAD.
Post by: Wheel-Son on March 04, 2015, 11:43:04 pm
So, uh, this is a controversial topics thread... about anything that you may consider "controversial" but you can't talk about the forums. I'll start I guess...

I think crime is unneeded, but if I had to, I would rob a gas station if I needed to.

Children of religious parents are often unfairly indoctrinated. Adults trying to shove their beliefs down other adults' throats is less common, because it's easier to teach it to young children who are easily influenced.

And, admittedly, It happens with atheism too. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoctrination#Religious.2FAntireligious) (Just to show I'm not hating/picking on religion. :) )

I'm just glad my parents didn't do this, and let me develop my own beliefs.

Well, if we're saying that we can also look at cultural aspects in general.
Though it's impossible to not indoctrinate a child with at least some of their culture.
That would require not talking to the child and that more often then not simply causes the child to die.

I don't see how you made the jump from religious indoctrination to cultural indoctrination. Some cultural indoctrination is unavoidable, yes, but religious indoctrination isn't.

Sure it is.
When a child wants to know where everything came from your response will shape their views. Even saying I dont know will lead them to various conclusions.

What conclusions, exactly?
Title: Re: Controversial Topics, BACK FROM THE DEEAD.
Post by: Exodus on March 07, 2015, 06:30:26 pm
Depends on the child.
 One may decide that if their family doesnt know then there is nothing there to know.
 One may decide that if the family doesn't know then someone must and go to search for answers.
 One may just invent new knowledge and start a group.

 It really just depends.
Title: Re: Controversial Topics, BACK FROM THE DEEAD.
Post by: Rhodri on March 07, 2015, 06:35:36 pm
Then the family member, instead of saying "I don't know", could encourage the child who asked the question to come to their own conclusions using available information. Thus, the parent doesn't push the child in any direction as to what to believe, therefore making it avoidable.

And he will come to the conclusion that makes the most sense to him based on that conclusion. Still better than indoctrination.

My kid gets supplied with whatever accurate (or at least not completely bullshit) information is available from which to draw her own conclusions. I'm flawed in many ways and do not think I should form opinions for her, and think that had I been given that sort of opportunity, I'd be less flawed.

i actually looked at all religions. i just found it all a bit silly. then again, everything is a bit silly, so take that as you will.

Should check out discordianism. I felt the same way but have always been "spiritual"(to use the hippy term). Hailing Eris just seems to fit that mindset much better than a real religion.

ok, so we all have that one friend who is a complete and utter Dick. if you dont have that friend, then you probably are that friend. so, i was at a buddies house, and he was that friend. nice enough to me, but a poor decision maker and incredibly smooth talker. anyway, he was from a catholic family, hated it, and decided to burn his families bible while i was there. just pitched it in the oven. Im still amazed that the house didnt go up. anyway, his parents come home after being gone for a grand total of 10 minutes, in whcih time he burned it, and oh my god, the holy slam could be heard from space. his parents told me tojust left. no point in being there, as this was going to be a shitstorm (they believed me when i said i had nothing to do with it. im not nearly as much of an ass in person.). needless to say, he got the punishing of a lifetime.  straight to school and back, no contact with the outside world whatsoever, and a ton of other shit i could never get out of him. bad idea my friend.

My family is not really religious. I believe there is spirits and stuff, but I don't really believe there is a god. Honestly I mostly just don't care, believe what you want. My old neighbors would always try to get me to their damn mormon church, eeech.
There were 2 chances where I got a small pocket bible for free. I tried to read it and found it a real boring read and quit. From what I have heard it's a good story but I find it dry then again I only read at least the first 10 pages.

Ok, I will post it here. Feel free to just put this quote in the archive thread. I am just putting it here for the curious.

Here is the shit Litpunk started.
I apologize for all the outbursts. I thought it was a full scale second forum. I do not apologize to the people that tree to shut down the forums though. Thats not cool whatever your beef with the devs. Not cool. You are not forgiven >.>buba. Sorry everyone else though My bad.

What I said back, because that really pissed me off on an already kinda crappy day.
I apologize for all the outbursts. I thought it was a full scale second forum. I do not apologize to the people that (tried [I think?]) to shut down the forums though. (That's) not cool whatever your beef (was) with the devs(,) Not cool. You are not forgiven >.>( Bubba). Sorry everyone else though My bad.
^Fixed some spelling in ().

Locking MY threads is not "shutting down the forums" and they were unlocked real quick by the admins anyways. We never had any plans to ruin this forum, we just didn't agree to the moderators sudden new ideals and left. A lot of us still lurk in this forum, but the general discussion part of the forum has mostly all gone to the new forum.

FYI: We told you several times that this was not a "full scale second forum" and was not DDA related, but you seem to like ignoring us.

EDIT: Side note, me locking all my threads and bumping ancient ones may have been a stupid Idea. I am a man that does stupid shit. The thing is you are just being a dick about it, and that pisses me off.

Here is what KA replied
People don't actually own the threads for which they happen to be the OP.  They may have caretaker privileges, sure, but they don't get to fuck over every other participant.

(You want to nuke your own *posts*, by all means.)

I've held my ideals for as long as I've participated on this forum, and for rather a while before then.  Before, I had to decide whether it was worth pestering The Almighty Granola Bar every time someone such as yourself spewed bigoted crap.  My not modding/filing a mod report for each and every time someone spews crap doesn't make the crap acceptable.

It means that I have things I'd rather be doing.

I think that particular thing could have been avoided with you just quietly locking the threads with nothing more said about it. But you were completely in the right when you wanted to close your threads.
Third: KA is biased against us, so I don't take anything he says seriously. What you said is not bigoted crap. Bigotry is something far different and that is accross the line again on his part.

Ah, my favourite topic is here.
On the topic of rape I feel like I should clarify a few things before I say anything controversial. I don't agree with rape at all, no matter what form it's in and there is definitely no punishment cruel enough for it.

However for the controversial part, I feel some people make far too big a deal about rape. Knowing people who've been through it, some of them handled it incredibly well, being almost not bothered by it at all, while others bring it up almost constantly, especially in arguments. Yes, I know just how traumatic of an event it can be but that's absolutely no reason to tell absolutely everyone about it so you can use it to get your own way.

Also less controversial but it pisses me off to no end when people don't consider the idea that women can also be rapists too, far more often than anyone ever considers.

New controversial topic:
Transgender bathrooms.
http://m.huffpost.com/us/news/transgender-bathrooms/


I see this thing as a.minefield there seems to be almost no satisfactory answer to it. I'd advocate making bathrooms unisex it's largely a matter of strip the sign off doors and remove urinals maybe knock out walls to join the two. But from my reading up on the idea that's a whole huge issue by its self.

I don't even understand why we have urinals in the first place, they're horrible. Single sex toilets should still exist, especially at clubs and such, but they should also have unisex toilets.
My reasoning being that there are going to be females, and males too, uncomfortable with sharing a toilet room with another gender, usually for safety reasons in a situation like a club. At the same time unisex toilets are important because there are some who aren't sure which gendered toilet to use and some who don't really care.
Specifically at the gay and trans clubs I've been to it was disappointing to see they had no unisex bathrooms, as a male who had really long hair and very feminine features it was pretty irritating to be told to leave by staff when I walked into the female toilets with a friend, which is a normal thing to happen in gay and trans bars, without them even questioning if I was trans or not.

Basically the solution to me seems to just be have two single gendered toilet as we have for male and female and then have a unisex toilet so that nobody can complain.

Really the only way to do unisex bathrooms without someone getting their knickers in a twist (for legitimate reasons) is single occupancy bathrooms, and building several small rooms is probably more expensive than building 2 big ones, which can cause some problems as far as money is concerned. Unisex bathrooms I feel are necessary though.

We should just get rid of public toilets completely and make everyone wear adult diapers at all times.

Its sub par fast food. Sonic (weird kinda drive through thing) that we have in town is WAY better. Still not gourmet, but pretty good. Ok, super controversy, what is your favorite soda. Cream soda here.

McDonalds has always been pretty good for me, maybe I just have low standards for food, I will eat almost anything.
Cream Soda is pretty damn high up on the list for favourites, although Ginger Beer is good too, s'pecially that Old Jamacia Ginger Beer.

Oh, I'll eat almost anything (garlic sand which, school food, rice with mustard (only once though), and pretty much anything else). I've actually been called an abomination for drinking mustard and taco sauce packets when I didn't have anything to put them on.

Um, how about suicide. Suicide... pisses me off, It... bothers me how people think that killing themselves is a way to end their problems. Just... fuck, that is going to make people feel horrible and guilty. Jesus, I hate the word as well. The only way that I'll condone suicide is in an apocalypse, or if physical pain is unbearable.

Suicide depresses me, because usually all it does is make everyone close to you incredibly guilty and depressed. And this is coming from someone who has had severe suicidal thoughts a few times in my life. I just decided I didn't want my family to deal with the guilt of it. And as an atheist, the concept of death terrifies me to an insane degree, so I've got that suicide blocker too. Seriously, no matter how bad things seem, it can always get worse, so there is no point in self terminating. However, I do find the fact that suicide and attempted suicide were criminal offenses in the UK (at least I think it was the UK) appalling and EVIL. What a message to send a depressed person.

Suicide is an easy way out, but it's not necessarily a good way out. It leaves a wake of very hurt people in it's wake. It just makes it worse for all the people around you. So much worse.

I think the UK policy on it is stupid as hell. If somebody is trying that, they need serious help, not criminal charges.

Exactly.

Speaking of death, after some tasty New Mexican food, me and my family were heading to the mall. On the car ride through a calm neighborhood my mind started to wander as it usually does, but it wasn't about Red Rivers or my next world that I can create, get lost in for months, eventually write about, and then move on.

It was simply about death, how sudden it is, and me hurting my brain trying to wrap my mind around nonexistence. Trying to understand "The Otherside" is like thinking of infinity or the size and scope of the universe, it gets to the point where just existing feels weird, like you're something more trapped in a fleshy prison. Its creepy and not very fun, and is also one of (like Perigrin) is a buffer from any form of selfharm.

Suicide is fucked up, and normally when people take the easy way out, they realize mid-way through that what they thought was unfixable is easily fixable. Your brain gets out of its funk to realize, give you a shot of adrenaline, and make you realize life ain't so bad. And it splits, either you fall back in the rut, or your life improves. Along with that people who are suicidal are aware that people will miss them, so even in their state they try and make themselves "disappear" before taking their life.

Depression is probably a worse killer then cancer. It fucks with you throughout your life, it comes out of nowhere, but unlike cancer, its mortality rate comes from people taking their own lives.

There are so much backlog of recruits and existing soldiers that becoming part of the military is really hard and competitive. [At least that is what I have heard.]

Suicide isn't always just a way out of problems, sometimes people just don't want to live anymore and there's no good reason for it other than how their depression has affected them. Depression being a mental illness means it affects your brain and makes you think in ways that aren't always very logical or forces thoughts into your head that would make absolutely zero sense to someone without depression. It's not always that the person honestly sees a good reason to kill themselves, or they're seeing it as a way out of a problem, usually they just really don't want to carry on living anymore because they're tired of it, a lot of time a fear of death is all that's stopped them.

That is some blasphemous shit. Even as a avid believer of Hastur The Unspeakable.

Speaking of fake-y or silly religions, did you know there are actually full on Cthulhu-esque cults that exist. There is an actual Esoteric Order of Dagon and I want to say that there is a circle that worships Shoggoths. Man, when I start writing horror stories, I hope I get cults started off of my books.

Oh yeah I remember that in Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

You accidentally free a Deep One and first thing it does is kill it's human looking child.
