Suppose your friend did plan to do something. You're not giving him your kid forever, it's babysitting. If your friend had trouble controlling his urges, fear of hurting your family or losing the friendship would probably be worse, right? If he knows that you know about his preferences, then that's even less likely he'll do something. There are so many things working to not let him do anything. Is your friend a really shitty friend and a rapist? If not, there's pretty much nothing to worry about. | ||

Why does xMZ have to defend "his" Hentai in any case? It's a rather bizar form of porn, but so are about a billion other fetishes out there. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong to jacking off to Hentai. Nor is there to jacking off to bondage porn, feet, or smelling panties. It's none of it my cup of tea, but if it turns you on, why the hell not. There's a very very long way between Hentai and molesting children. Last time jimmieC and I discussed the virtues of porn XMZ brought up Kansas state sexual assault laws to help him define what non-deviant sex was. Just curious what he will bring up this go around. | ||

Just curious what he will bring up this go around. hentai is not mine; i can barely sit through a normal cartoon(took me 5 attempts to finish the BFG) except southpark(but that's probably because of all the assholery going on there). i used the word out of ignorance on cartoon genres most likely(?). people were talking about children and jerking of to and hentai is weird porn and characters in there look way underage so yea ... were they talking about regular snow white like cartoons?; that would be pretty fucked up. at least hentai is porn of sorts... JimmiC did bring up a valid point though - ones age. at 15 i'd probably leave the brat alone in the house; i think he'll be fine at ~12yrs too. "we" (6, 5 and 3.5yr olds) were left alone in the house for ~6-8hours while parents were at work; babysitting was not invented. sometimes we burned things down or escaped through a window and go outside but nothing major happened(occasionally a neighbor would come to check on us for couple minutes). IT"S FINE!, stop pampering. | ||

Is this a minor trend of a little pendulum swing back before it heads forward again or is this a real trend that could move forward? It has the potential to be both, depending on how the future plays out. Big trends are nothing more than several small battles going one way or the other, after all. That's why we must not give up the fight. | ||

The hate Islam and Christians has for the west is the same--its trying to bring things back to the pre-civil rights era. | ||

And yes if we stop fighting the world will move backwards. Which is why people need to fight(vote) so the pendulum can be swung forwards again. | ||

Here is an example of one ; you have the 1-10 scale on the doctor's side, and linear scale on the patient's side. | ||

It seems like the only thing is doctors and health care professionals asking "on a scale of 1-10" which to me is a awful system. Pain is pretty subjective. What for one person is "merely a flesh wound" for another is unbearable. So it's kinda hard. There's probably neurological studies (but it's not something I know much about), but the ethics are going to be rather tricky, so I'd expect most neurological studies on pain to be done on labrats, which are not quite the same as humans, of course. | ||

i stated that i have kids + Show Spoiler + (i stated it because i think it is important to give that piece of information, i not only am raising my kids, but have had ample opportunities to see all my friends have kids (or not), numerous occasions to see/confront/be confronted by other parents (which i have to abide by/respect in their differences for my kid's sake/comfort/etc) furthermore we alll have to learn how to live with this new state of being (meaning you are not the same after your second kid, you evolve from them existing/etc .. it doesn't stop at having a baby but rather gets to be more and more a challenge (if you want to be a part of their upbringing and not leave it to other people...)) i never said anything about how i went about it (if indeed anything of the sort happened to me/anyone i know etc) or even what i feel about it, i never even commented on the actual hentai business .. i said "any" type of "dangerous/unwanted" information showcasing the person in question in a negative light (what we would perceive as dangerous for our child) could/would trigger the parents into feeling that they should "intervene" / change their trust into distrust/fear and that obviously no one would then let their children be cared for by that person any further. Anything will trigger parents into fearing for their children (again, that is if you do give a f ck about them, but lets put that aside) .. this reaction might be or deemed unreasonable (and it might well be unfounded even) but we are far from being build/made only of rational thoughts.. and when it comes to our kids, we are the very definition of psychotically inept at being reasonable. Now do please continue typing about it and debating abstracts.. it'll keep you busy. Sorry for being not funny in this often constructively fun thread  | ||

Sorry for being not funny in this often constructively fun thread Because you have kids means you know how each and every new parent goes through? Unfortunately, I know and have seen way too many 'parents' behaving exactly the same with their new child as they do with people they ramble with (which are usually not good friends anyway). Parental instinct (even from the mother) is not a automatic as usually stated. Also, most of you have a weird definition of who you consider your friends °° | ||
