This sounds similar to viewing consciousness and existence much like the Buddhist concept of dukkha, the clinging of impermanent states of happiness b...

My internal attraction is odd. Looking past the age, I realize it's more about the perversion of a dynamic -- a father and son. My dad didn't stick ar...

I second this.

I'm not being self destructive and not doing harm to others. Thanks for making me feel less lonely in the vat, MacGuffin. I can now watch my legal por...

Well, sure (I read all the other points you point out btw). I still don't think Pessimism (nor existentialism) is universal enough to be applicable th...

But not all Humans translate this universal need into how they philosophize the world. I guess my take on Pessimism isn't so encompassing. It seems to...

Honestly, I just don't like it being held against me as if it means some part of me is looking for an excuse to act as I please (not using a play on w...

I feel that like optimism, pessimism isn't something people can just give into. I haven't looked into E.M. Cioran's Pessimistic philosophy (other than...

I've felt this way before, like having a macabre romance with pessimism. I've tried to turn from it, but I find nothing is candid and sincere than the...

"One does not inhabit a country; one inhabits a language. That is our country, our fatherland - and no other." -- E.M. Cioran I find this to be profou...

I resonate with this. The reason one can feel existential is because there was a point in which we saw/were/were told/experienced something elusive an...

This makes me think of my childhood (that time in my existence features the most genuinely happy moments I've experienced, which is saying something, ...

Sigh, maybe I shouldn't discuss it here. I'm glad I finally found a place to question my sexuality in a philosophical way. Looking at my posts in gene...

It's not just a social distinction amongst prisoners. As you said, you're "hot", thus, don't give off "creep" vibes. All of this is an exception of su...

This reminds me of the phrase "wet water." Almost like saying "All you can make wet is water (which discounts that all you can't make wet is water, be...

And personally, I do think that people whom come forward with their screw up should be assessed differently from people who are only identified as scr...

Not only guiltless sentencing, but on the contrary, just-deserts reveling sentencing. You are right, not different from the world we live in today at ...

I guess I should be boiled in a vat then. I am who I am. Guess my discipline isn't sufficient to excuse my nature.

It was an open-ended question, lol (nice touch of humor).

Should the "risk" be assessed by mis-actions, nature, maybe even both, would you say?

I couldn't agree more with this sentiment.

Yeah, I'm to the point where I now abstain. I haven't had sex since Christmas day (random hookup; hopefully he doesn't insinuate I raped him too, seem...

My ex used to wake me up with his... introduction, we'll say, some nights. I didn't find it creepy or rapey at all. Actually, found it to be hot. Gues...

Right. Atm, these populations are all thrown in together -- irregardless of the nature of their offenses or their level of hostility -- separated into...

This can be deemed as a rationalization by many, it also factual and gives insight of a Human biological tendency (especially male) that transcends cu...

I agree. My personal proclivity to what is considered by mainstream standards at this time to range from sexual deviance to heinous predation isn't th...

It seems this post answers Maria's post, "Should some questions in philosophy remain unanswered?"

Moreover on this, it can even be argued in your way of thinking that even if something considered moral that happens to result from an action not exec...

I should have worded the formulation differently. A something not immoral (or moral, irrelevant of morality, in other words) when said something happe...

Ahh, so on your basis, either way, the law always involves morality. Based on your intertwining of morality and legality, it seems it would be self-co...

And, in this case, you personally find the above applies to drug use. Is it accurate to infer that? Can you give me an example of what it wouldn't app...

As opposed to asserting that A and B are one and the same and no different, that then it's contrarily the very designation of differentiating a concep...

I've had some unfortunate life experiences on this matter. Accused of all sorts of things I didn't intentionally go into thinking to myself "this is n...

Well, not for the most part. I'd probably be okay with other people taking these risks (if they prefer), if I didn't have to when seeking out the same...

Maybe not so much difficult as risky. Anyway, I'll probably take that risk again someday. Maybe it's just my paranoia, just always feel like a guy wou...

Sigh, I wish I had better insight about what you are going through to be of support. I guess there's nothing I can do to be of some comfort to you man...

Everyone chooses what part of their lives to share. I never reveal my full hand of cards. What I share on here I'd never share irl. Last thing I need ...

Although I do believe there should be some reasonable regulation or protocol to avoid living in a world like The Purge, I side with you on with the "M...

That's some sense of entitlement there if your generalization here is sufficient to allow "right thinking members in the community" (as you've so coin...

The greater risk for potentially uninformed and unprepared fatality comes to mind. A thirteen year old shooting up for the first time and dying of an ...

IMO, there is something "wrong" (immoral) with going full laissez faire in the case of drugs. That would be reckless. Even alcohol use and smoking hav...

Maybe insight to answering this question can be found by asking others: Why is it no longer immoral to observe the eighteenth ammendnet of the United ...

Maybe it's a matter of relevance? Some people are known to huff glue, paint and cleaning products. It's not common enough to merit legal relevancy tho...

I didn't take what you initially said at face value. That was the point (I added on to your sarcasm, at least, I thought so).

Since I'm not getting a response and lashed out earlier, maybe you guys can check up on Kippo, make sure everything is okay. I feel like such a jerk n...

Yeah, I agree. I was paranoid and simultaneously, I think Kippo is wondering about his own state of mind. Kippo reached out to me in a PM and by then,...

It's well deserved. Sure though, I can always get on meds. They won't prescribe me anything for my anxiety anyway. I'll probably merit all the side ef...

Here is a perfect example. Now, believe it or not Wallow, the common elements between Kippo' s post and the post I made right after were not influence...
