If individuals voluntarily crowd fund the costs of resources taxation claims to be necessary for, people will gradually transition from dependence on subsidies by enjoying the higher quality and lower costs associated with working together in community rather than acting as subjects/slaves of the governments legislative tax apparatus. People respond to incentives and with the ability for communication modern technology provides, people are able to organize themselves to a higher degree than was ever possible in the history of humanity. Once people experience that they can better provide for themselves than the government does they will begin to refuse to invest in the government/pay tax. As the government is defunded its capacity to intervene in individuals lives will recede.

What Women Actually Want in a Man
Ninja replied to MysterionMuffles's topic in Men's Issues, Feminism and Gender
As someone who did not develop a penis, I would sum up what a woman wants in relation to every aspect of a marriage/relationship in the word 'security'. Without security a woman's work is never done. Biologically, woman need a sanctuary where they can create more humans. If a woman feels the threat of needing to flee or abandonment she will be neurotic and distressed. You know what they say, 'happy wife, happy life', well, you keep her happy with consistency so that she can be free to nurture what she loves, namely, consistency. -
What Women Actually Want in a Man
Ninja replied to MysterionMuffles's topic in Men's Issues, Feminism and Gender
It isn't necessary that men want to exploit women/people. If a man/person has consistent moral integrity his standard for relationships will require the exchange to be mutually beneficial. A person who values society over their own immediate desires wouldn't take advantage of someone's ignorance by having them agree to something that would benefit one person by exploiting the other. Genitals do not determine whether a persons intellect is capable of grasping the concept of value. The reason there are so many women and men who prioritize immediate gratification over moral integrity, who do not have the capacity to grasp the superior value of respecting and upholding universal moral principals over hedonism, is the artificial growth of the demographic of people who are intellectually dependant on those above IQ100 through the redistribution of wealth via taxation/theft. The government steals money from productive people and gives it to people who only have the capacity to concern themselves with their own immediate satisfaction. It has escalated to the degree that there are more people who require subsidies than those who pay for them/earn enough to sustain their existence in USA. Our apathy toward the practice and results of taxation is certainly a part of the problem. R selected behaviour is not gender specific. -

There is a clear distinction between having a vagina and submissive effeminacy. The latter is ideological and more susceptible to complete redefinition by a persons environment.- 95 replies

Evidence for Romanian Orphanages Resulting Psychopathy
Ninja replied to Gold's topic in Peaceful Parenting
Yes, it's likely that allot of the children were not nurtured or empathized with because of the lack of resources and incentives invested in the orphanages. The result of those disturbing circumstances on a child would be a dormant or disabled ability to empathize with others and difficulty distinguishing reality from falsehood. -
I resonate with some of the emotional experiences you described. What you went through is something that no one should be put through. I think the idea of distancing yourself is wise. There are psychological coping mechanisms that result from trauma and they can be very misleading. Often, we are mislead right back into danger. I'm hopeful that you will put your freedom to the best use for the rest of your life. There are a few good people left in the world and they will gladly share life with you.

Father brutalized his son and complied with his wife's lethal abuse- GETS RELEASED. "A man who beat his four-year-old son and turned a blind eye to the abuse his partner was inflicting on the boy as well, until she killed the child, has been granted a statutory release on his 46-month sentence. Francis Bastien, 35, was granted the release because he will soon reach the two-thirds mark of the sentence he received in February 2015, after he pleaded guilty to criminal negligence, assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon. A charge of manslaughter through criminal negligence was withdrawn on the same day he pleaded guilty." Guys, Gals, ... these people brutalized their child to death. This is a greater crime against humanity than abortion or negligence. I personally feel that it's not fair to spare the lives of the murderers because they couldn't be bothered to spare the child's. Though, I get the whole murder is wrong thing so I'm not sure if this is a case for a few eyes to be taken for the eyes of the child. Regardless, this level of brutality should have greater consequences. This man is going to be free to 'move on' from taking that chance from an innocent child. The monster had the audacity to make his physical appearance presentable. How could a person lift themselves from gripping onto their own death to groom after committing a crime like this?

I am absolutely opposed to child abuse including pedophilia. The whole two consenting adults with blood relation thing is complicated. I wouldn't feel justified in intervening but I would definitely ostracize people who upheld values that defiled the separation of sexuality from blood relations. I personally see the act of incest as unnecessary and hedonistic. I can't imagine why someone would choose to be sexual with a family member when there are billions of other humans on the planet.
-
That's the interesting thing. If it's not incestual pedophilia then it's hard to see what part of the act requires the initiation of coercion/violation of property rights. I find incestual romance to be absolutely distasteful and I don't see any reason for a person to mingle sex with blood relatives, regardless, I don't see a justifiable reason to forcibly intervene in a relationship between two consenting adults. That's not to say I wouldn't attempt to thouroughly question a person who disclosed that they participated/are participating in incest to see if they truly had a reason to believe it was in their best interest. In the case of the daughter and mother in the article it seems like the parent was exploiting her child and that made me more curious about why incest is traditionally forbidden.
-
I agree. Though, I'm not clear on how a blood relation (in this case his mother) give someone a greater right to a dead mans property if blood relation is never a justification for the violation of property rights. If he had left no instruction for the allocation of his possessions we assume his closest blood relation is responsible regardless of their relationship. This moral dilemma leads me to wonder if a persons possesions should be disposed of if there was no instruction about what do do with it. Obviously that would be a shame. To dispose of a persons belongings post mortem simply because they had no formal wishes for their belongings.

I recently lost someone dear to me. He threw himself from a bridge. We dated for 7 years from the time I was 17-24. He wrote a song for me and his mother has chosen to keep it from me because I refuse to go along with her narrative of what happened leading up to his suicide. Essentially, I'm not giving her the attention she wants so she is withholding something from me to encourage me into self erasure. I know that if he was alive he would send me a copy of the song. Technically, he owned the rights to the song, so his mother inherited it as he left no will. But the song was for me, he intended for me to have it. You may wonder, well then, why didn't he send it directly to me? The answer is that he wanted her to send it to me. She did post it to Facebook in order to share it with me and her audience. She has now blocked me. I can't help but feel I've got some right to the song as it was made for me, the message in the song is directed at me. I suppose if you serve as inspiration for art you've got no right to the artists work. Something about this situation doesn't feel right to me, I think it's that she is withholding it to spite me and has disregarded the fact that he wouldn't agree with that descision because he isn't here to defend himself. As far as my mind can reason, because of her blood relation to him, she now owns the song he wrote for and dedicated to me. Do you think I have no right to the song? seems that way to me.

Hello FDR!, Today I came across a series of convoluted reports on a court case in Oklahoma, USA concerning a young woman's marriage to her biological mother. The mother, allegedly, had previously been married to her son. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.bet.com/news/national/2017/11/09/woman-pleads-guilty-to-incest-for-marrying-her-biological-mother.amp.html http://www.kswo.com/story/33054070/brother-claims-siblings-were-manipulated-by-mother Of course I'm thinking 'Isn't incest illegal because of the biological risks correlated with incestual reproduction?' Upon further reading I learned that there are two states in the USA that do not legally enforce ant-incest laws to impede people from participating in incest. In Canada, Incest is punishable by up to 14 years in prison. It's curious that we treat incest with such severe opposition because of the health risk involved in incestual breeding but we do not consider other forms of dangerous breeding to be as serious an offence. In many cases, dangerous breeding that may result in serious health problems or environmental deficiencies are facilitated by the incentives government subsidies provide through the use of force against citizens who generate economic growth. I'm opposed to the idea of incest between two consenting adults but I'm not sure it justifies caging the weirdos for a decade. If that choice does justify being caged for a decade, should we not hold other forms of dangerous breeding to an equal standard of legal judgement? *There is an important distinction made between incestual pedophilia or molestation and a voluntary incestual relationship between two consenting adults.

... it's allot more difficult to find someone worthy of a lifetime than it is to find someone who fits the criteria of being sexually attractive. When you do find a person worthy of a lifetime all you need to have is consistency in your own values. Essentially, in order to find your ideal mate you only need to be worthy of that persons love. If you doubt anything about yourself you will inherently expect whomever you date to ignore that insecurity as long as you do. It may be insecurity that is limiting the types of people you choose or who are willing to get to know you. Objectifying a potential mate by seeing them as an exploitable commodity rather than a human being whose needs must be fulfilled in order to thrive as your ideal mate will most definitely not result in you finding a reliable, honest and loving life partner. I think humilility is the key to the heart of this matter...

This sounds like the kind of situation that will require allot of sacrifice considering the level of commitment you have to your husband. Something that I see as important that isn't directly touched on in this post is that you may have a belief that you are inadequate in fundamental ways and that is why you would stay with someone who is systematically oppressive. Those same feelings of inadequacy may be why you haven't firmly rejected the abuse and formally created an ultimatum that requires him to reconsider his choice to behave dishonestly. Question yourself during the moments that you're tempted to surrender your values and integrity in order to compensate for his lack of self control and moral consistency. Identify the beliefs you have that prevent you from connecting with the emotional reality of the impact hypocrisy and dishonesty has on your relationship. Stand up for your values by refusing to make exceptions for any reason, even if the reason is that you love the person. Im sure that your mutual goals and responsibilities contain enough incentive for you both to find a way to live peacefully and productively in all the essential aspects of civilized life. Teal Swan has some great videos on the topic, you can find her on YouTube.

I've done this test in the past as part of an interview process for a yoga studio(smh) and it resulted in a different type than this time around, though, I think the two types would get along with each other :). the type I got last April was ESTJ-A: Extroverted 71% Observant 56% Thinking 58% Judging. 82% Assertive. 87% the type I got this morning was ENTP-A Extroverted. 63% Intuitive 64% Thinking 71% Prospecting 56% Assertive 51% I almost prefer the former but I'm aware that my answers at that time were influenced by who I choose to be in 'the workplace'. My answers this morning were based more on my current state of mind rather than where I would consciously place myself in a role where I am bound by responsibility.

"The Preacher's Boy" by James Whitcomb Riley THE PREACHER'S BOY BY JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY I rickollect the little tad, back, years and years ago-- "The Preacher's Boy" that every one despised and hated so! A meek-faced little feller, with white eyes and foxy hair, And a look like he expected ser'ous trouble everywhere: A sort o' fixed expression of suspicion in his glance; His bare-feet always scratched with briers; and green stains on his pants; Molasses-marks along his sleeves; his cap-rim turned behind-- And so it is "The Preacher's Boy" is brought again to mind! My fancy even brings the sly marauder back so plain, I see him jump our garden-fence and slip off down the lane; And I seem to holler at him and git back the old reply: "Oh, no: your peaches is too green fer such a worm as I!" Fer he scorned his father's phrases--every holy one he had-- "As good a man," folks put it, "as that boy of his was bad!" And again from their old buggy-shed, I hear the "rod unspared"-- Of course that never "spoiled the child" for which nobody cared! If any neighber ever found his gate without a latch, Or rines around the edges of his watermelon-patch; His pasture-bars left open; or his pump-spout chocked with clay, He'd swear 'twas "that infernal Preacher's Boy," right away! When strings was stretched acrost the street at night, and some one got An everlastin' tumble, and his nose broke, like as not, And laid it on "The Preacher's Boy"--no powers, low ner high, Could ever quite substantiate that boy's alibi! And did nobody like the boy?--Well, all the pets in town Would eat out of his fingers; and canaries would come down And leave their swingin' perches and their fish-bone jist to pick The little warty knuckles that the dogs would leap to lick-- No little snarlin', snappin' fiste but what would leave his bone To foller, ef he whistled, in that tantalizin' tone That made the goods-box whittler blasphemeusly protest "He couldn't tell, 'twixt dog and boy, which one was ornriest!" 'Twas such a little cur as this, onc't, when the crowd was thick Along the streets, a drunken corner-loafer tried to kick, When a sudden foot behind him tripped him up, and falling so He "marked his man," and jerked his gun--drawed up and let 'er go! And the crowd swarmed round the victim--holding close against his breast The little dog unharmed, in arms that still, as they caressed, Grew rigid in their last embrace, as with a smile of joy He recognized the dog was saved. So died "The Preacher's Boy"! When it appeared, before the Squire, that fatal pistolball Was fired at "a dangerous beast," and not the boy at all, And the facts set forth established,--it was like-befittin' then To order out a possy of the "city councilmen" To kill the dog! But, strange to tell, they searched the country round, And never hide-ner-hair of that "said" dog was ever found! And, somehow, then I sorto' thought--and half-way think, to-day-- The spirit of "The Preacher's Boy" had whistled him away. https://www.accuracyproject.org/t-Riley,JamesWhitcomb-ThePreachersBoy.html

It may be enough to convey your experience of human life through a favoured artistic medium. Your hopes, struggles and achievements along the way may inspire many people who will want to support you in continuing to provide them value. Work with what you've got rather than comparing yourself to others. We are our own worst critics and fascinate others more than we do ourselves. I'm looking forward to the insights your intentional self expressions will uncover.

I am a 28 year old female with questionable self worth. As a younger woman I had greater value with the promise of an advantageous intelligence and an acutely symmetrical face. My face is still sitting on a relatively straight line but in allot of ways the promise of my intelligence and success is less likely than it was a few years ago when I 'had more time'. There has been this reoccurring theme in my life that I hadn't reflected on for a great deal of time until the recent media exposure of hedonistic worship in Hollywood. I was raised to believe that a woman is more valuable if she has more to offer a man than beauty and fertility. This meant that I needed to outcompete my vagina to win a good father for my children. Being a seeker of intensity I was excited by the challenge of greatness. I always wanted to be 'number one' because I believed if I was the ultimate human, I might then, potentially, be worthy of love, so long as, I didn't let 'myself' go and get fat after having kids because then, it would be my fault for making my husband leave me to raise our children alone. yeah, issues. So, this theme that has haunted my frail and costly existence is that every time I was number one at something, other than being an attractive young woman, there was always a specific ultimatum that eventually would stand between success and my efforts. The ultimatum went something like: 'you are really good at preforming in your area of interest and that makes you more sexually desirable. Are you willing to trade sexuality in exchange for equal consideration for investment opportunities? Are you willing to renounce the value you place in the knowledge you've acquired in order to utilize it? 'Equal consideration' meaning: To be judged based on the merit of my success and not sexually. Though, in reflecting retrospectively, maybe everyone is judged by their degree of attractiveness and some of us get ignored and some suffice to entice predation. Every time I attempted to live a 'moral lifestyle' (one that opposes hedonism and moral relativism) and contribute tangible value to society, I'd encounter an older male authority that would compare my potential for success to my willingness to consent to being the object of their sexual gratification. When I tried to pursue some of these people legally, I was essentially made to feel that I needed to conform to a deranged reality where I have nothing to offer but sex and if I resisted conformity the consequence would be estrangement from any related opportunity for economic growth. Eventually, I became discouraged and slipped into a further depression that was initiated by competing with Hollywoods standard of beauty. During adolescence and young adulthood men in my age demographic would viciously and remorselessly ostracize women who did not emulate supermodels and divas like Brittany Spears. I realize they had also experienced pressure from being bombarded by propagandized media promoting the worship of Hollywoods decadent and satanic culture. My point is, for a while I've been trying to see the world in a different light-calling myself a foolish 'feminist' for fearing the potential risk of being in those situations again and reasoning with myself to refrain from the generalization of the moral integrity of all men by the actions of the ones I've met in my life and I'm grateful for that. But, I see now, how being disappointed over and over by working hard to achieve greatness only to have my efforts be diminished by the desirability of my sexuality has created an incentive for me to avoid 'success'. In a way that result was to my benefit because now I'm focused on entrepreneurial pursuits rather than apprenticeship and collaboration with institutions that are already in place. In another way it's unfortunate that even when I was absolutely the most valuable and productive within a group of people focused on a universal task, acheiving the greatest understanding and command of the relative skill set wasn't enough, I still needed to be willing to do 'something' that was obviously irrelevant, empty and meaningless to me. Fortunately, I didn't sell out, the majority of the time, though, once I tried it to see what was one the other side. You guessed it, absolutely nothing was on the other side of that door, not even another door, just nothingness. I realize that men deal with this sort of thing too and it's really more about the relationship of culture between generations rather than gender. Like, baby boomers vs millennials for example. I'm not sure that the generation preceding Baby Boomers objectified them the way us 'useless' millennials are. I'm optimistic that there is an honest discussion happening about the treatment of young people in regards to respecting the sacredness of an individuals sexuality. Disregarding the impact that sexual experiences have on an individuals life, to the degree that it is formally claimed to have no affect at all, creates a culture that considers a spectacular actor to only be worthy of opportunity in exchange for ownership of their body or sexuality. In a way it appears to be some form of weirdo ritualism, like, 'are you willing to erase yourself in exchange for economic success?'. Living in our current corrupt society, where we are coerced into paying tax on dollars that have inflated beyond any tangible value, it's understandable that many would tend to conform to evil in an attempt to be 'realistic' rather than sacrificing themselves like Socrates, for moral virtues. Now, after all this time, I'm sure that ones soul is more valuable than anything material. Unless you have children? :/ Life is a tough nut to crack. I suppose, the only way to out-compete your genitals is to refrain from games of that nature: Competitions measuring a persons self worth based merely on their sexually desirable characteristics. Humility and honesty about reality is the only way we can create the world we hoped we would enter from our youth into adulthood.
