Qin Shi Huangdi, what is your pupose?

BigT, either you ran off the rails here, or you are being deliberately obtuse. Qin claimed that sexual desire, whether in homosexuals or pedophiles can be controlled. (I feel icky just writing those two things in the same sentence, and Qin conflates them shamelessly. NOTHING liberal about this idea. Zero.)

Read it again:

Ah, leave the Chump – I mean Chimp – alone. He was just living up to his user name. And now that he’s joined his psycho buddy on my Ignore list, he’s even more Invisible than ever. :smiley:

Maybe your personality has more to do with this than your will.

Do you have the desire to do so?

Naah. You just get reeeaaal close enough to make them uncomfortable…

Assuming he was telling the truth when he joined up two years ago, he should be at least 16 now. I’m still not entirely convinced he’s not a troll.

Telling, or teasing, a troubled kid that he is a violent psycho is the type of bullying bullshit that could turn them into exactly that.

I was even a Christian Libertarian when I was his age. Some people even thought I had Asperger’s. I guess that’s why I feel the need to come to his defense even though I don’t agree with his views now.

I could never really see the point of the Ignore List function. Nobody is forcing me to read anybody else’s posts. Idiots can be really entertaining a lot of the time too. However, I feel strangely honored to know I finally made someone’s list.

Somehow, I don’t think you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to girls.

Nonsense, I’ve no doubt he has access to quite the harem. All of them looking remarkably like saucer-eyed seven-year-olds with pumpkin-sized breasts and a giggling attraction to cephalopods.

He reported his age as 13 (and being just out of 7th grade). He’s 15.

Nonsense. I mean reform it via education.

Of course not. If you’re close to an economic superpower, obviously businesses are going to invest right across the border rather than across the ocean. Nothing to do with “American Exceptionalism”.

No I meant there is a difference between sudden uncontrollable desire and dwelling on it which can be unhealthy regardless of one’s sexuality.

this.

I’d just like to point out that Qin could both be 15 and a troll.

Or just a confused kid who has a head filled up with religious nonsense and conservative dogma.

He could also be a delicious cupcake with sprinkles.

How does one “reform” a culture? You’re still saying that Western culture is inherently superior to Hindu culture, which makes you a bigot

What specific reforms, apart from the outlawing of suttee, do you think should have been implemented?

He may be 15 or 16 in real life, but Qin’ll be 13 in our hearts forever.

He’ll also be Curtis. :smiley:

The sprinkles are also cursed.

Haven’t heard that particular euphemism…

Is this some kind of trick to get me to taste him? Because I fell for that once in prison.
