    Compulsory Heterosexuality

    I don't find it confusing. More like a polite way of asking why you're entering a non-debate feminist-only thread with loaded questions and aggression. This far into the thread, how many members have truly discussed the thread topic?

    What Are the Assumptions of Religion

    Depends on the religion. Asking, "What are the assumptions of religion?" is like asking, "What are the rules of sports?"

    What is True? Does A = A?

    Without all conversational parties agreeing that A = A, aka the Law of Identity, a conversation can not be had, because no coherent sentence can be formed without that foundation. Even trying to argue that the Law of Identity is invalid requires the use of the Law of Identity within its own...

    Why is furry fandom mostly hated on for stuff other fandoms have?

    Compulsory Heterosexuality

    So does your post question the validity of non-debate subforums in general, or is it particular to feminism and this thread? Non-debate in a feminist-only area doesn't mean everyone in agreement. It means feminists discuss something.

    If you were God, how would you have created the universe? What would you have done differently?

    All four of these items concern human beings in particular. So as a more serious answer than my tarantula hawk description, I'm not sure what I would do if I were a god. Because if I were a god, I'd be nothing like me, unless we're talking like, one of those very anthropomorphic gods. Most...

    If you were God, how would you have created the universe? What would you have done differently?

    There's this wasp called a "tarantula hawk". They sting tarantulas, and then bring them back to their nest underground. There, they lay an egg on the spider's abdomen, and then leave the spider there, paralyzed. When that egg hatches, the larva burrows down into the spider's guts, and...

    Compulsory Heterosexuality

    Did the OP's thread imply she was interested in debate? Personally, I don't see it. Besides, it was posted in a non-debate area.

    Compulsory Heterosexuality

    Is there anything about the literature in particular that led you to question your sexual attraction? Basically, I have trouble relating to such a passage written 35 years ago. This document is from 1980, and lists references primarily from the 60's and 70's, back when homosexuality in...

    Compulsory Heterosexuality

    I invite you to re-read your posts so far in the thread and honestly ask yourself if they are written in a non-debate way that matches the non-debate nature of this subforum.

    Compulsory Heterosexuality

    She put it in the Feminist Only section. Members are under no obligation to explain why their post gets to exist in the category they posted it in. She posted her thread in the Feminist Only section, which is not a subforum that is meant for debate.

    Why is furry fandom mostly hated on for stuff other fandoms have?

    I would rarely doubt that there are some of some type of people in just about everything. There's almost literally an example of at least one of everything, somewhere. I'm talking mainly about my own views of what I think when I see something about furries. If something were to persuade me...

    Why suicide is always okay all of the time

    I don't particularly agree with any of that. I don't think morality is subjective, nor do I think suicide is even much of a moral question to begin with in many contexts. There are lots of philosophically complicated words like, "okay" or "wrong" or "right" in that post that I don't think have...

    Why is furry fandom mostly hated on for stuff other fandoms have?

    Maybe it's my bias showing but I kind of associate furries with like, teenagers and young adults. Like, I don't picture that many business executives or physicians being furries. But maybe I'm wrong. When I found out what a furry was, it made me feel kind of old, even though I'm still in my...

    Bicycles!

    I do electronics engineering and financial stuff, so mechanical optimization of a bicycle is out of any real area of knowledge I have. With your background, bike tinkering would make more sense, particularly if you enjoy it. But then again, I don't honestly do any electronics tinkering outside...

    Shouldn't this be considered child abuse?

    No, that would be crazy. On the other hand, this is rational:

    Solitary confinement

    It seems cruel and torturous to me. I'm not sure I have better solutions, though. If someone is in a maximum security prison for a violent crime, and then further has a history of causing violence to other inmates or receiving violence from other inmates, solitary confinement is an option...

    Solitary confinement

    If, somehow, it ever came to it, I'd prefer the death penalty to indefinite solitary confinement.
