There's a new rant later in theis update, for those that choose to read it, but first let me make one thing abundantly clear.
I am not trying to steal your girlfriend.
No, nobody on this site has made any accusations, nor, in my opinion, had cause to. But I've been at the center of some spectacular emotional maelstroms as of late and in more than one instance some rather unflattering implications have been made about my character. So I'd just like this to be out in the public record.
It's not my style. I know all too well how that feels from the other side, and would not wish to inflict this on other people. And given the trouble I have attracting single women I doubt I'd do that well. So fellas, relax. Even the one woman in a relationship I do have those sorts of feelings for, I'm not trying to steal. Ladies, you can relax too: it's not you.
That said, down to business... I believe most of the world's problems can be traced to sexual repression. Sex is labelled dirty, and scoiety ('round these parts, anyway) clamps down on it. But the harder you clamp down on things, the more pressure you create, and the harder they'll burst out somehwere down the line. And the burst ain't gonna be pretty. Alright, alright, that's possibly the worst visual I've created yet, but put it aside.
In his excellent documentary Bowling For Columbine, Michael Moore asked why America, of all nations with access to guns, is so filled with shooting deaths and gun tragedy. I would like to suggest that America is still ruled by puritan morality towards sex, and the societal clamping down on this basic, natural impulse stirs up some less natural impulses in the brain.
Think about entertainment ratings. Movies, TV, video games... someone is killed, violently and bloodily, okay, children under 13 should have to briefly consult with their parents, but god help you if anyone takes their clothes off. That would be wrong. You'll scar the little ones. In one of my video games, I can take a chainsaw to a cop, or an old woman, or whoever I choose, and blood will spatter on the "camera," and apparantly that's okay, but the strippers must wear a corset at all times, because badly-rendered boobies would be just plain immoral.
In short, the inside of the human body is considered less offensive than the outside. How the fuck did that happen.
To wrap this up, let's look at Japan. The mainstream culture is even more repressed than in America, to the point where a woman having an orgasm is apparantly considered slutty, dirty, and whorish. Yeah. But like I said, ladies and gents... the harder you clamp down on something, the harder it bursts out. And perhaps this is why Japan created a superhero called Rape Man. No, you read that right, he's a superhero who solves people's problems by raping women.
*Ahem*
What the FUCK? How does any society reach the point where this seems acceptable? GOD! But do you see my point, at least? Sexual repression made this possible. It's got to go. New century, new ideas.
You can tell me that God is loving or that sex is immoral, but not both. 'Cause no loving God would make something that much fun and then tell you not to do it. As I explained to some of my gay friends once, the only sex that offends me is the sex that I'm not having.
Thank you very much, I'll be here all week.

I was watching a television program before, with a kind of roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having some sort of problem with their boyfriends - apparently, because the boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. And they brought the boyfriends out, and they fought, right there on television. Toby, tell me: these people don't vote, do they?
