Well, individuals should have complete ownership of their sexuality. I take that to mean, in a social vacuum, that individuals should be free to engag...
December 13, 2017 at 07:05
Yes, although I would only refer to 1 and 2 and 5 as 'present'. 3 folds back into 2, 'specious time', and other considerations about tasks or lack-the...

That's not the lib/prog view, whatever that could be. For crying out loud that's what Saint-Augustin used to think. If anything could constitute The L...

Feminists in the 70s were mostly deeply anti-porn. A good number of feminists I've met still are today, and I certainly wouldn't be caught calling any...

In a sense, yes. But the reason why human sexuality is totes different then normal mammalian sexuality is, in large part, because primates are increas...

Again, I was replying to someone applying the Duluth model to something to which it is already considered external. Your post is an exemple of everyth...

I somehow feel this could be turned into record gold.
December 12, 2017 at 19:48
My point, and I guess this might have gone over your head, is that the Duluth Model doesn't explain or apply to #MeToo. Weinstein doesn't need to forc...

Well, 'need' is not the word the word I'd use, but still. So, that being said, calico cats, pro or con? Says he, as if there could be any cons. O:)

Sexual assault can be about sex. It's the type of dynamics of sexual exploitation, violence and repression that grows in an abusive couple that is gen...

You are right, the stated position of the Church is that, during the Last Supper, Christ stated that he was truly sharing his flesh and blood. The Euc...

Is vore fetish more acceptable because it is religious vore fetish? Apparently so.

Come on, that thing is absolutely adorable. I want to stare deeply into its globulous eyes for days on end. And I'm pretty sure it would look back, al...

Well, apart from the primitive Church, theirs was the 1st interpretation of the question. Not that this means theirs is the best. It was also the most...

2 x 15 pages to give on tuesday morning. I feel the pain.

Also, since this subject seems to stick, here are the relevant portions from the official Catechism of the Vatican ; 1376 The Council of Trent summari...

I was with you up to that point. I know Atlanta exists, and yes, it is a hellscape, a seperate, nightmarish reality. :P

Is Stephanie Corneliussen still as deliciously evil and hot as in the 2nd season?
December 10, 2017 at 01:08
:-O

Jeez, you nearly busted a vein when I only referenced daddy/daughter issues, but now you go all wincest on us? Them double standards.
December 10, 2017 at 00:40
I do not understand what you mean. Could you rephrase?
December 10, 2017 at 00:38
Can you learn the same thing from understanding why water is represented physically as H2O as you can by learning that linguistically it is called wat...
December 09, 2017 at 22:16
Ah, I see the confusion. Generally, when someone says that they are doing a literal interpretation of the Bible, it goes further than saying that some...
December 09, 2017 at 19:28
That's a statement of position, not an argument. Do you not see that between 1) and 2) there is a world of difference in validity as an hypothesis? Th...

Well, I'm sure if anyone could pull both off with grace and charm, that would be Hanover. O:)
December 08, 2017 at 18:38
Ah, sorry, didn't know you were Jewish.
December 08, 2017 at 18:26
Well, none of that would prevent Hanover from entering the Kingdom of God in the Ends of Time. He could even die on a Saturday on his way to work whil...
December 08, 2017 at 18:25
So you'd agree that saying 'I have a mouthful of wafer' is the same thing as saying 'I have a mouthful of Jesus'?
December 08, 2017 at 17:43
Yes, if it is repeated despite expressed refusal, it could be considered harassment. It couldn't be sexual assault unless you knew that the person you...

I have only recently started reading Quillette. Do they ever do anything else than bitch (poorly) about postmodernism?
December 08, 2017 at 16:08
I have taken it up with him. The Catechism is clear on the issue. ;) C'est la vie!
December 08, 2017 at 15:32
Just hearsay, no funny feelings. Anyway, any decent Catholic imho should admit that he believes certain things on very strenuous premisses. That's goi...
December 08, 2017 at 15:17
The Catholic Chuch never argues for a literal interpretation of the Bible. The whole idea of hermeneutics was developped by Catholicism as a field to ...
December 08, 2017 at 15:04
Especially since you are replying to yourself. :P
December 08, 2017 at 14:34
I guess I'll take the word of a East Orthodox over that of the Petit Catéchisme à l'usage du Diocèse de Genève. :-}
December 08, 2017 at 14:30
Well, you chose a complete sideway slide for comparison, which has for effect to erase our ability to gauge the shoulder-to-abdomen ratio. Turn each o...

That describes hyperlordosis. I guess lordosis is an accepted term for the hyperlordotic disorder. That's fine, it also has other meanings. "Lordosis ...

No. Lordosis is normal inward curvature. You mean hyperlordosis. Lordosis is one of the reasons why human mouvement is more efficient than the gait-ba...
