What the hell is wrong with you? Do you act like this in person?

Shut the fuck up, asshole.

I mean seriously, I don't want to talk like that on HN, but just look at what he's saying.

When a man talks on a public forum about "quality women" and the horrors of casual sex, this is pretty much always where it ends up.

If, that is, you know how to poke them into revealing their true nature. Which I do.

Now you see what I meant originally. :)

I stand corrected. I'll take your advice next time.

edit: Actually, I won't even respond next time - we were trolled, big time. I'm happy the post is being killed.

Such comments wouldn't be hurtful-- or "assholish" to use your phrase-- if she didn't know she had done something wrong.

Perhaps God will take me over his everlovin' knee and spank my naughty, fornicating bottom when I die, but other than that, my life is looking pretty great from this side of the veil.

But thanks for asking.

You're a disgrace to your religion.

[time_management]

You have no idea what my religious beliefs are, douchebag.

My objection to this sort of behavior isn't religious. It's that I value the preservation of civilization, and I have a real problem with a bunch of self-absorbed thugs who are trying to fuck it all up. It took thousands of years to get to a society even approaching one where men and women could relate on loving and mutually respectful terms, and the casual sexers want to throw all this progress away within one generation.

Dude.

They were saying that in the 60s -- 40 years ago when I was three.

And they were saying it in the roaring twenties when my grandma was twelve.

Hell they were saying it in the 1880s. The Victorians were convinced that the end of arranged marriages and free courting meant chaos and destruction was upon us all.

Just when is this easy-sex-kills-civilization event supposed to happen? I'm only planning on living another couple hundred years or so.

Don't have the quote, but someone pointed out all the people who seemed to be histrionic about the effects of Rock n' Roll, contraception, no-fault divorce, etc. on civilization were pretty much proved right in each instance.

So, yes, civilization as conceived by each of those groups clearly did die, just as they predicted. Whether the current incarnation of civilization is a net improvement, of course, is open for debate.

What a load of bollocks. Stop trying to dress up your crass superstitions in the clothes of learned sociology and demographics - they just don't fit. And your assertion that casual sex is something that only appeared in this last generation is laughably, provably wrong.

Give it up already, you and your stupid beliefs have been utterly trounced.
