I'm going to say that gay men do not find gay buttsecks repulsive and straight women dont find heterosexuality repulsive. Heterosexuality and homosexuality? Nope. Heterosexuality and "gay buttsecks." RandomChampion Season 2: The Comeback of Homophobiamaybe repulsive is the wrong word but how is any of that homobobic? |
katsucats said: I don't get it.Stop contradicting yourself. Amadyeus said: I can't tell if you're being serious or not, so I'll assume you are. Expressing homophobia or racism or whatever is acting in a harmful way. I'm not saying it's a crime, but that's completely irrelevant to whether or not something is a "problem." There is no crime in being a homophobic, so what's the problem?, neither is it a crime to be a racist. It's only a crime if you act on those feelings and thoughts in a harmful way. |

| Because derailing is fun apparently .-. idk |
| PCfags can't handle things like that, Gay people can declare themselves gay from the mountain-tops, they can jump with joy and start their sentences with "as a gay man" - but when a straight man does it...damn shit gets serious (and they stop reading your posts because you've triggered their PCignorance flag) Once this happens they feel all righteous about themselves. |

| Well, that was an interesting discussion on rape. I think? Hmm. |

Just trust me on this one, death is ALOT scarier than you think it is, fear of death is so heavily ingrained in your subconscious I could list a plethora of actions you take in your daily life that are made due to this fear of death, whether you realize and accept this fear or believe "I'm no coward, and I'm not an idiot that just says I don't fear death, I really don't fear death", it doesn't change the fact that anyone (who does not have a psychological condition) fears death ... It's great that you think your different and all, but you are a human right? Last time I checked humans are still animals, and based on this knowledge you can reason that just like any other animal, you are gonna fight pretty fucking hard to stay alive once actually put in a life or death situation.Pirating_Ninja said: Saying that you would prefer death over something is honestly not something one can say seriously unless they have truly faced their own mortality, alot of people never actually face their own mortality and due to this don't know the fear of death (it's actually very difficult for humans to wrap their minds around the concept of death) ... Trust me, their is almost no situation where you wouldn't be clinging on the the hope that you will live ... if you can name such situations where you would rather die (unless extremely gruesome) and aren't just talking out of your ass, then you should probably seek psychological help since you would also be admitting to being at high risk of committing suicide or stuff like that. Nope I am more than okay about the concept of death and I don't have to face death situation to realize that , in my mind there a lot worse things in life than death. |

| Woah Woah ...step back for a second, what if he's gone through intense training in the mountains, wrestled bears and stuff, slowly eliminated his fear of death to the point where he crosses roads like Chuck Norris following the I'll cross whenever I fucking want CODE. |
| That is actually a good example of a fear of death, something as simple as "crossing the road" ... It is illogical that you would waste even a minute of your precious time for the crosswalk light to signal you to go if you didn't fear death. If you truly did not fear death, even the slightest, you would not waste your time and just cross, after all worst case scenario, you get hit and die, but that is not something you are afraid of happening. |

However, just as a rabbit runs at the site of you, humans to will fear death, of course our instincts are less apparent in every day life since there is no looming threat of death every day ... However to think that in a situation where you would choose death over life based on an assumption made while in the security of your own home, this is just arrogance and ignorance formed by not truly understanding the fear of death. |

Just saying. |

Ok you do seem to get it ... But why the Orphan one? Simple curiosity to be honest, that one was rather ... out of place. (also when faced w/ mortality usually people will go through different stages of emotions ... though this can vary from person to person, you probably would to some degree go through a depression, or even anger but that is beside the point) |
|
| Flame war of the night, I see. Keep on fistin'. (I'm going to be miswording common phrases. It's gonna be all the rage in a week or so.) |
| The orphan one does seem out of place idk I am not sure about it as I was when I was younger, I think from the ones listed I would be able to adapt to it the most. |
MellowJello said: Keep on fistin'. |
| The only thing I can think of would be something like Locked-in syndrome. That would suck. |
| Come visit my town // I apologize in advance for my second-rate English Join my fan club // Improve the transport network |
| im a 100% complete heterosexual male what did i miss |
 |
| Kinda biased since I would throw my life away for most anything. But in these situations it kind of depends. I am assuming after the torture I live a normal life right? Or am i just going to die anyways from the torture. Cause fuck that. Past that, lifetime imprisonment would probably be the only one. Already been down the homeless route, so I know how to deal with it if it ever occurred again. Modern medicine is pretty crazy so being blind/paralyzed/whatever won't be nearly as shitty as it should be. And if I lose my limbs I can be a spicy male lead for the imminent katawa shounen. |
 |
| Yes is only 68.85% , Kinda expected more. Some people value their lives more than others? |
| I would never ''Choose death'' unless I'm going to die anyway because of the torture or something. Couldn't do that to my parents and family, not in any situation. I guess I will just have to deal with it. |
 |
| Ehh I can think of a number of things. |
sippychao said: I would never ''Choose death'' unless I'm going to die anyway because of the torture or something. Couldn't do that to my parents and family, not in any situation. I guess I will just have to deal with it. That's your reason for not choosing death..? What if they all secretly hate you and would abandon you when you in a shitty situation ( becoming blind , disabled , homeless , etc )? Now what? |
Ntad said: "Hey Mom! Guess what? I decided it'd be better off if I were dead than have to see you go through any kind of crisis or harrowing ordeal! Isn't that great?! I take the easy way out and you still have to deal with whatever it is YOU'RE dealing with PLUS the grief you'll end up having to suffer over my death! No thanks needed, it's all because I love you so much!" Best gift ever. you seem quite passionate about your response. selfish? maybe, but my answer remains. i still couldn't take it. Ever stop to think how i would feel if my mother was being raped or tortured and i didn't intervene? its really not a win-win situation either way |

That is being rather suspicious of my own family I love so much, even then I would consider myself a better person by doing the opposite. I still think choosing death is rather a easy excuse than anything else. |
|
| With my current mindset I would say no I would never choose abandon life no matter how dim the light of hope is but I have no idea whether I would be able keep this attitude during a mental breakdown from one of those situations. |
