In this thread, we say the things we've wanted to forever that just don't mesh with the rest of the world. Maybe you're weird, but you're pretty sure it's everyone else that's wrong. You've had enough of holding it in, and you have to just say it.

For a start I would just like to say that I don't find Lucy Liu at all attractive. She's not ugly, and I guess I'd probably do her if she asked (maybe) but generally speaking, I think she has totally a boring body and an even more boring face, as though she were mass-produced or something. I think people like her mainly because she's willing to act really slutty while wearing ridiculous outfits.

I thought it was annoying and hypocritical of Paul to be so furious and disgusted with Jamie for kissing that dude, while at the same time denying any similar feelings she may have had about his near-miss with adultery. Sure, he was certainly entitled to his feelings, but shit, man you fucked up, too!

Of course, this may be seen as a feather in the writers' collective cap, as that is probably a more realistic portrayal of what would have happened as opposed to each of them being equally upset and equally vocal.

Also, the show sucked arse after the kid was born.

Mad About You.

Dog wakes me up super early, and after I've taken him outside I sometimes watch Tvland for a half hour or so. The past few days, the story arch has been when they were trying to conceive and then almost broke up.

I love weapons.  I know many people do not. 

I also want the death penalty used more often, and faster.  I'm sick of these guys getting 30 years at the taxpayers expense.  Fuck you.  Fry em and bury em and keep it going.

When I was in 6th form (17/18) I wrote an essay on how money should be given to animal charities rather than humanitarian ones as humans aren't going to die out anytime soon, and, as horrible as they are, famine/disease/natural disasters are a form of population control.

The teacher was not impressed

Attractiveness matters, so stop acting like it doesn't. Don't bemoan being a certain body type when you have a strict type of body type that does it for you. It's purely hypocritical, and people shouldn't kowtow and say it's perfectly acceptable to be X,Y,and Z when you mostly look at A,B, and C yet not much else.

People senetenced to life in prison should be used for medical testing.
All incarcerated individuals who die in prison by any means, including the death penalty should be organ donors by law. If you've lost your freedom for a great attrocity, at least your body could be beneficial to society.

Homosexuality is a mental disorder that came about as a means of population control.

Also, many feminists are hypocritical harpies. Don't bitch about how women have been abused and repressed for generations, then say that all men should be castrated. In this day and age, men seem to have fewer rights than women in general. Woman gets raped, the cops bend over backwards to try to find the one who did it. Man gets raped and someone inevitably says, "You can't rape the willing." Pull your head out of your ass and grow the fuck up.

Now see, that's actually just confusing. The label and the reasoning don't match. For something to be a disorder, doesn't it generally have to be disadvantageous? You're talking about a pretty clear evolutionary directive.

The most basic definition of disorder is lack of order or regular arrangement; an irregularity. Homosexuality fits that description.

It is unusual and in that sense "irregular," but that's not what "disorder" refers to, even in the basic, literal definition you're using. Order is an internal property of a structure unrelated to its similarity to others. It seems to me that is an especially important distinction when talking about mental disorder, as anyone can see that there is more than one way to think that is internally consistent.

PS: Please note that I am not offended, as I believe I take your intended meaning, I am just stressing clarity in symbols since you are using terms with complicated connotations.

I find medical journals from WW2 in Germany to be fascinating. I do understand that they used horrible methods to find this research out, but they come to some remarkable conclusions about the human body.

I am upset that it is so hard to find these studies, and that when I ask I get the "OMG you evil person!" stare.

I hate that spanish is now being worked into America's way of life. Yeah, yeah, I know. there is no official language of the United States. Yes, I know there is no other foreign population so large as the spanish. But every culture in the world has come to this country for the same chance for a better life. And not one has gotten the leg up that Spanish speaking people do, having their language being semi adopted.

And don't even start with me about what Spanish people have to go through. My graduating class at High school was 400+. The stats came out, 10% of those were illegals. I still keep in contact with them. I know the life. I know what they had to go through to be where they are today. And you know what? those people did it by learning english.

If I was Chinese and came here and saw that the spanish had their language everywhere, I'd be bitter about having to learn English while they didn't have to.

I think women who do not abort when they know their children will have debilitating disorders are doing everyone a disservice.

Oh, I know. You were expecting me to reveal my secret belief in an iron-clad world dictatorship and planetary population caps, and the abolition of archaically idiotic concepts of marriage and pair mating.

Homosexuality is a mental disorder that came about as a means of population control.

I have ideas along the same lines, but stated rather differently, because I find it more interesting to view evolution as working directly on individuals, and on genes, with large scale effects like 'population control' a byproduct.

Homosexual behaviour might evolve as an alternative reproductive strategy. Raising children is a colossal task. Now suppose the world is overcrowded, there is much competition for resources. It's harder still.

In these circumstances homosexuality can make sense. Having children of your own isn't the only way to propagate your genes. Statistically, every brother or sister you have shares as much of your genome as would a son or daughter. A nephew or niece is worth as much as a grandchild. So, your strategy? Do not breed. Instead, stay at home with your mother and help her raise any younger siblings, and be a good and devoted uncle or aunt to any older siblings' children, taking some of the load off their parents. I imagine that homosexuality is an easy way of diverting the sex instinct onto a non-reproductive target; asexuality is probably a bigger ask for human brain chemistry.

I remember hearing that statistically, the more older brothers a man has, the more likely he is to be gay. I wonder if that's a triggering factor? Many older brothers means a good likelihood that by the time you reach breeding age you will already be an uncle several times over.

No, I realize the planet can theoretically sustain our current population and then some. I just think that one billion obedient drones people is plenty.
