It is impossible for something to make something else which is not itself.

I was speaking in broad generalizations.

Practically speaking it is a crime and crime correlates with lower consciousness.

It's classic projection and scapegoating. When you smear any POV that challenges your own as pedophilia, you don't have to think very hard about your own worldview or political philosophy -- which is morally bankrupt. Overall, there are going to be more pedophiles in the right-wing because they are lower in consciousness and more selfish. Of course!

Not much different from 4 years ago. Of course the MAGA style people have not disappeared. They will be around for a long time, trying to seize power.

@Benton I see you and raise you this:

Cool!

Such people usually have sex with lots of new partners. And also I'd question how much they really "enjoy" it. I know a lot of guys who sleep with a lot of new girls, but I don't think they really enjoy sex at a deep level because their sex seems rather shallow. Just like eating a bunch of different fast food isn't really the best way to enjoy food. It's a low consciousness kind of enjoyment.

It's a classic right-wing move to deliberately conflate homosexuality and other alternative sexual norms with pedophilia and child abuse. Russia has a similar law on the books which bans education about such topics under the present of an "anti-pedophile propaganda" law which is really a soft form of homophobia. Right-wingers get real crafty about how they construct and frame such laws: "To protect the children"

I have always told you that awakening says nothing about what actions you take or how "good" you are. I could go murder someone tomorrow. And it would not diminish my realizations of God one bit. Might even enhance it.

What are you smoking? Of course they haven't. Pornstar sex is super shallow. You're not gonna enjoy sex as a pornstar because you're gonna be too busy dealing with the logistics of the shoot. You would probably be too nervous to get hard. Don't envy pornstars. Their ability to enjoy sex is probably very low. Sex feels amazing to the extent that it is rare. As soon as you make it common place it loses most of its appeal. It's like eating a bag of sugar. That's not the best way to enjoy food.

They have been on the losing side of history for a long time on this issue. Sex-ed is going to start younger and younger, because it just makes sense to educate kids early to preempt problems and ignorance from taking root. By not teaching kids about sex-ed, they become easier to sexually abuse and manipulate. It also actually leaves kids in a state of confusion and makes sex seem taboo or dirty.

The truth is way more radical than some silly simulation theory. You are God dreaming up a world

Even with a hot girl, jerking off is often just better. Quality of your orgasm is a function of mind, not body. My best orgasms were via text message or imagination. Your mind can imagine things which no physical girl can give you. You can't fuck a girl in every hole at once within physical reality. But you can in your mind. And you can make her feel any way about you that you want in your mind. A real girl can't compete with that. But she can offer you a sense of "other".

Yes, by making yourself more social and bumping into more new men. You can't find a good man sitting at home.

Sometimes, but not in a very serious way.

Basically what I hold myself back from doing because I easily could.

Go be highly social.

Imagine how confused you will be when you grow up clueless and then learn one day that gender is a category constructed by the mind? By that point you will be so in denial about it that you will turn into a transphobe and bully trans people as a defense mechanism. The idea that kids are traumatized by sex education is absurd. It's their parents who are traumatized. The kids have no problem with it. If kids were taught sex-ed in 1st grade it would remove a lot of ignorance and stigma around sex.

Reality is confusing. That's not a bug, that's a feature. Part of growing up is grappling with many confusing aspect of life. Yes, allowing kids to know about homosexuality and trans gender stuff will make them more confused because you are presenting them with more options. It's like you're saying, "I shouldn't tell my child that strawberry ice cream exists because it will confuse him when picking ice cream. He's better off only knowing about vanilla. Then his life is easy." How about giving your child some credit in being able to learn and understand and make choices? If kids are not educated about sex they will just learn about it from their ignorant friends in 1st grade anyway. But the difference is they will pick up biases and misinformation. Some kid on the playground will teach your kid that gay sex is evil and disgusting and that God will send him to hell for it. That will get imprinted in your kid's mind. Which is exactly that right-wingers want. What right-wingers don't want is for a kid to know that gay sex is nor better or worse than normal sex, and that God does not care what kind of sex you have.

Because they know about it regardless, but without proper education they will know about it in ignorant and biased ways. Yes we do. It's all baked into our culture, media, images, movies, songs, games, language, religion, marketing, etc. It's something they get imprinted with from culture. This is a culture war. They get groomed into hetero sexual norms and morals through subtle cultural brainwashing. - - - - - - This bill is like passing a bill which says: Don't tell kids about black people. Let kids find out about black people on their own and draw their own conclusions. But if the culture is racist and implicitly depicts black people in bad ways, by the time the kid grows up the conclusion he will draw is that black people are bad. That's exactly the purpose of such a bill and why it is racist. In a culture which depicts black people as lazy watermelon-hungry rapists, criminals, and drug dealers, to let kids draw their own conclusions is to perpetuate racism.

That's exactly their dream. They have been trying to do that for decades. Because there is no need for such a bill. No teachers are grooming kids to be gay. That's not a thing. The right-wing just wants to brainwash kids with the old-school hetero-normative worldview. This bill is just gaslighting. It's obviously just a pawn in their culture war. Now if a Florida teacher tells his 1st grade class that he and his husband went on vacation together, that will be considered "grooming" and he will be sued. But if a straight teachers says he and his wife went on vacation together, there won't be a problem. So it's a bill designed to discriminate against gays and trans, cloaked as "saving the children". Kids are exposed to hetero-normative talk and images from the moment they are born. So this idea that kids are not groomed into heterosexuality is absurd. They are. When a kid listens to a story about Snow White or the like, that is already hetero-normative grooming. So what the right-wing wants is hetero-normative grooming to have a monopoly on kids' minds for as long as possible. That is the purpose of this bill. So then when kids finally learn about homosexuality or trans gender stuff, they will see it as deviant, weird, abnormal, and wrong.

There is actually some solid proof, which we have looked at and discussed in the past. They basically exploit their biggest followers either financially or sexually, or both.

Everything disappears. That's life. Be ware the mistake of conflating Truth and permanence. They are not identical. Impermanence is as absolutely true as permanence.
