  Confusing Good Sex as Love

  by Robdar in

  i will go for weeks, months, sometimes a year without sex.

  then, if conditions are right and i am particulary attracted to a man, i will bed him.

  if the lovin' is good, i might bed him again.

  That's the nature of a discussion board. If you don't want to examine your opinions, you should probably keep them to yourself or talk only to people who share them.

  You know what Derek I have discussions with lots of people in the real world and on forums daily without being put under the microscope. I find that there are people on this website who resort to name calling and personal attacks if you disagree with them in the least.

  Now your suggestion that either I face my posts being examined or keep quiet is interesting in itself. Last night I was called a drama queen, naive, young and someone who doesn't get it. All comments in my mind were said as to be insulting. I have also been told that if I believe that abortion is murder then I should be willing to kill to stop it.

  I think that a lot of people here are rude and do not want an opposing opinion. I have stated my opinions to be only that, opinions. I have not told anyone they are wrong in any of their beliefs. I find others opinions to be interesting and I always consider what they have to offer. I don't see that happening here. If you are not liberal then watch out.

  Now lest I come off as a drama queen let me say that my feelings are not hurt. There is no one here that I know, I have no family or friends here, I'm just a visitor so I really don't mind being examined. I just find the general tone of this forum to be ruder than it needs to be and rudeness appears to be tolerated.

  Derek one of those gray areas for me would be rape. If I were raped I know I would carry the child but I doubt I would want to be a mother to it as I have no desire to ever be a mother in the first place. So adoption would be an option. I also know that for some women carrying that baby to term may cause some serious emotional issues. Health concerns would be another consideration. I am not hard core on this and I do not see me taking a hardliner stance on one side or the other.

  Interesting how on this forum peoples posts get picked apart. I don't mind but I find it interesting. If someone has an opposing viewpoint it's time to go on the offensive.

  So a foetus is a human being with the same rights as any other, unless its mother was raped? Surely murder is murder, and the foetus either has an unalienable right to life or it does not.

  So it's a black and white issue to you? Not to me.

  Buster there are legal issues to consider. Let's say a big strong man, like you, is being attacked and beaten to death by thugs. That I would understand. So then a sexually confused pistol packer such as myself comes along. Would I pull the gun out and plug those bad guys. I'm not sure so I don't pack a gun. I pack a cell phone. But maybe, just maybe I'd drill the punks. I wouldn't be breaking the law would I? But I can't see myself taking a life.

  Buster are you certain I stand by and do nothing over abortion? Maybe I'm one of those that is willing to work inside the system to make changes, legally.

  You won't be able to get me to say that I would kill to stop killing. I certainly wouldn't set myself as a deadly judge such as the executed jerk did.

  Let me also say that it would be very easy to become pro choice. I can not live on campus with my political views. I would be attacked daily in the dorms over my beliefs and it just wouldn't be safe for me there. So I live off campus in a tiny apartment with friends. My friends don't share my views either but they are cool about it.

  You really strech your example of killing hundreds of innocent people on the streets legally. That's hard to equate. It's hard to imagine. But I understand the point you are making. I do think of fetuses at babies so it's hard to swallow what goes on.

  So anyway, if your formula was correct then I guess I'd have to be a hypocrit. I'm not willing to kill. I'm just a simple girl that believes we shouldn't kill. I didn't like the killing in Iraq either. It's the world wide past time, killing people.

  By your equation Buster I would think that anyone who is in favor of abortion should also be in favor of the death penalty, right? Did I get right?

  OK I'm going to bed and not because you don't get it. You get it, you just disagree with me. I'm going to bed because I have an ugly professor to look at in 9 hours.

  They treat child molesters better than they treat us!

  i have been thinking about this a lot.. my family treats child molesters better than they treat me.

  my sister-in-law's father was accused of child abuse by her sister.

  since there weren't two witnesses to this terrible violation, he is still in good standing in the congregation to this day.

  I don't get it either Swan. Child molestors are at the bottom of the pond and I've read that there is no curing the, only controlling them. How can they turn their backs on loved ones?????

  I'm very lucky in this area.

  I am curious about this. I'm just 20 but I've been sexually active from a fairly young age and I've dated for a few years now. I have never felt I was in love with anyone. I actually have no desire to fall in love. There are goals to meet that I've set for myself and I'm sure if I got lovesick it would mess things up.

  Now I do have a good example for love. My parents are a wonderful love story and everyone can see it. But I just don't want that. Do you? If you don't have someone in your life do you hope one day you will?

  I feel pretty complete all by myself.

  I have to wonder why you would limit yourself to legal means

  Buster I am not going to kill anyone. Not a baby, fetus or abortion doctor. I'm sure you must understand that. I disagree with the law as it stands currently. I'm not willing to kill anyone over it. For some reason you seem to believe that anyone that is prolife should be willing to kill over it. I would say that pro lifers would be the last people willing to kill. Those that have killed over abortion are no better than the people they hate.

  I am not rigid here. Rape is a consideration for abortion. In fact there are several considerations. But I do know people that have used abortion as a form of birth control.

  I didn't change the photo over any comments. I submitted a new photo either yesterday or the day before. I felt people might better be able to see who I am with a close up than with the previous photo. Plus I was laughing in that first photo and my goofy laugh sucks. I snort and make weird noises. Everytime I see a photo of me laughing I remember how stupid I laugh.

  i am questioning whether the internet is a good place to hang out.

  last month i was scammed by an impostor who took advantage of me while i was depressed and vulnerable.

  even this discussion board has become very vicious lately.

  Swan I would say that if you take things written here personally then I would say the internet is not a good place to seek support. I don't blame just this site but the majority of forums are pretty negative. I do visit other forums that aren't JW based and some are very supportive, the type where you feel as though you are among friends.

  Swan I also think that in the real world people are much more respectful towards each other.

  I'm lucky in that I spend my days away from a computer. I have lots of friends and we try to keep each other laughing througout the day. What is cool is that most of my gay/bisexual friends have way different political views than I do but we are able to express differences without insults being exchanged. On the internet it's pretty easy to attack strangers.

  I hope you do have a core group of good friends that you can rely on. It sure has helped me through some confusing times and I'm certain they'll continue to help me. Do you have good friends too?
