    Nothing in my post had anything to do with fascismp[which can co-exist with capitalism], no idea what you're on about for the 2nd time in this thread.

    Please calm down. We need to be able to rationally discuss these issues without people getting so emotional they can't see straight. People being irrationally protective of children has created all sorts of nonsense over the years (18 year old jailed for having sex with a 17 year old, being put on the registry for peeing in a park in front of children, etc.).

    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    You only mention the the ridiculous. But the 50yr old raping the 10yr old is what get people riled.

    And there's no such thing as being "irrationally protective" of children. Over-protective...maybe.

    marijuana and prostitution, in that order obviously since very few places give a single fuck about weed at this point. feels pretty obvious to allow women to do what they want with their bodies as well, and legalizing allows them to work in a place that can help keep them as safe as possible in a profession that is currently extremely dangerous. you can disagree with it morally or for religious reasons, neither of those are good arguments against it though, currently the law is basically "illegal, because we said so!"... we don't need the government wasting money trying to act as parents or some sort of busted moral compass to the entire country.

    And you misunderstood what I wrote. If I said 'I agree' I'm saying that I agree that it's seen as a taboo but probably won't be one in the future. Tabootyness?

    I felt like some aren't actual taboos.

    Psychedelics and other psychoactive drugs, both recreational and medical.

    We're finally beginning to get past the brain damage inflicted on science by Nixon and other Republicans and begin investigating the medical (particularly psychiatric) potential of substances (cannabinoids, MDMA, LSD, Psilocybin, etc.) demonized by their use as proxies to attack blacks and leftists.

    Nobody is saying a 50yr old raping a 10yr old is okay. That's obviously horrible. But people get riled over anything remotely having to do with the safety of children. I admit "irrationally protective" might not be the best wording. But my point is that people's concern over the safety of children is so sensitive and intense that it becomes extreme volatile and irrational. And this is why the ridiculous stuff happens. I remember once posting on a forum (not MMO-Champion), making an analogy between something else and pedophilia in hypothetical scenario, and it so offended people that I got banned.

    That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about children being sexually abused.

    You're going to get lambasted but you're right. In general, we need to pay more attention to mental health issues

    There is even talk ( from the politicians ) of allowing 16 year olds to vote. Which in effect is saying they are adults. Just a matter of time....

    I realize that. But people getting emotional about these issues is what leads to the silly stuff. This is why we need to be calm and rational, and sort out what is and isn't okay logically.

    History is full of examples of that not working.

    The left has an even bigger one. They've just been becoming more and more alike in mentality.

"Yeah those might be your facts that 1+1=2, but you're not black so you can't know so these are my facts" has been accepted by the left for a while.

    That's mostly due to Democrats wanting to get their voting numbers up, I think/hope.

    I'm gay and I don't like PDA in general. Straight or gay it's like a kiss or holding hands is fine, but when they get all over each other, nobody wants to see that. Short of the deep south and maybe some midwestern places, it's not like people are disgusted by simple pda. I think there was a what would you do involving it in some rural town with a military gay couple.

    It's very true. Research doesn't give a shit about your feelings. C**ts like you are the reason controversial subjects are not researched well (like racial disparity).

    There are other moral reasons not to allow it, but this nonsense of "damaged forever" isn't one of them.

    P.s. most adult women also recover completely from rape. Now hide in your safe space.
