Right. I forgot that the only 'real' way to get into a lasting relationship is to delve deep into our past and brush the dust off of the practice of arranged marriages. Maybe we should go back to the 'good ole days' where if a girl got pregnant in highschool we stoned her to death, or at least made it so that the guy was a hero and she would spend the rest of her life as a pariah...

[ note: I say this from a USA-centric perspective, not hating on cultures that still practice this in a respectful manner. By 'this,' I mean 'arranged marriage,' not 'stoning to death.' ]

Arranged marriage and misogyny vs. meaningless casual sex.

False dichotomy much?

I think that you should review your own opinions with 'false dichotomy' in mind. You seem to have some very harsh judgements that you feel the need to toss around loosely. I'm almost of the mind that you're just a troll and that you're making these comments in an attempt to have some long, deep, argumentative discussion thread.

Rather than making short and harsh comments, you could frame them in a less accusatory fashion that doesn't look like you are just making the comment to hate on people and pass judgement (on large swaths of -- essentially -- faceless people, no less) in a public manner to satisfy some sort of inner urge.

If you really feel that relationships that start out based on sex always end up in failure, you could have framed that comment in a much better light that would have spawned actual discussion.

I don't mean to be hating on the people. I hate the culture of casual sex. The culture is disgusting. The people are mostly not disgusting, just misguided. I don't mean to imply that they're morally depraved people for participating in something stupid; I've certainly done my share of idiotic and embarrassing things and don't consider myself immoral for it.

Really, though, I don't care what people do, as long as it's not in my face and doesn't affect me. I'm five years out of college, so I don't really care that much. I think it's a shame what a farce college has become for most American students, but that problem comes from a lot of factors, most of which have nothing to do with sex.

There's nothing immoral about sex (for any sane definition of morality). You sound rather angry, and like you have some deep seated hangup about your own sexuality. I'd really suggest looking into seeing a professional therapist.
