Thank you for commenting here,...@ incurable sanity<br /><br />Thank you for commenting here, you raise several issues that have given me pause while I gather my thoughts. I don't claim I have all the answers figured out (part of why I made this blog) but I will attempt to answer some of the queries you put forward. Keep in mind these may not be adopted by me as moral values to be pursued, as I am merely speculating at this stage.<br /><br />I do want pro poly to be a part of society everywhere, but don't really see this ever happening. Of course there are limits on the freedoms of sexual expression I am referring to. For example I want to keep the current laws regarding children as inappropriate sexual partners. <br /><br />I object to incestuous sexual relationships on the grounds of negative health impacts on the potential child, however if this can be avoided, I don't see any issue with it.<br /><br />"Happy individuals have a tendency to be self destructive. "<br /><br />This is a rather extreme statement to me, I was always under the impression that happier people were less self destructive, at least that has been my experience. Can you point me in the direction of some support of this claim?<br /><br />@ Beardreel<br /><br />Thank you, I appreciate some coolheaded appreciation of my views, I work hard at keeping them fair and reflect on these such issues alot. Thank you also for the link, please feel free to post any other links that you think may be informative for me or others reading this blog.<br /><br />Yes I am very pleased with the existence of movember, I have several male friends that are involved in it annually. There is even a restaurant here that gives out free burgers to those supporting movember. It is pretty amazing.<br /><br />It is disappointing to learn this isn't echoed overseas, what efforts are going into remedying this?A socialist open to criticismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619402773454709868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694927555991963163.post-83598393858721898162010-06-02T01:12:04.973+10:002010-06-02T01:12:04.973+10:00I am glad to hear you have such egalitarian views,...I am glad to hear you have such egalitarian views, FOTC.<br /><br />If you want to learn about men's issues, I suggest visit http://glennsacks.com/blog<br />It is one of the most respectable and even handed men's blogs I follow. It covers the whole gauntlet of issues I mentioned, with lots of focus on the family court (something I think needs to be done away with), including when it wrongs women.<br /><br />Also, I would just like to (non-militarily) salute your country for Movember. I put its banner on my website last year and I would love to see something similar here in the US.<br />Technically, September is 'Prostate Cancer Awareness Month', but it doesn't get a tenth of the attention October does as 'Breast Cancer Awareness Month'.<br /><br />Carry on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694927555991963163.post-46267454306510156232010-06-01T18:07:50.282+10:002010-06-01T18:07:50.282+10:00The anti-monogamy thing is interesting to me. Pers...The anti-monogamy thing is interesting to me. Personal freedom expressed in a sexual manner isn't a new idea it just has worked out very poorly in the past. For example parts Ancient Greece they had to limit people to one sexual partner due to rampant STDs. Also it is hard to keep men interested in taking care of children that aren't theirs. Not all men, just as a general rule. With modern medicine these could be argued to become null points but the fact that marriage is a universal constant in all cultures says something about its importance in a working society. <br /><br />With that I'm well aware of different marriage styles. So I ask you, are you the sort of person who would want to eventually have anti-monogamy everywhere? (side note I'm going to say free-relationships from now on to make this less confusing for myself) Parts of Nepal a woman would marry a family of brothers. This insured that the land would stay in the family and acted as population control for a place that didn't have the resources to support a massive population. What are your thoughts on this? Can I assume you when you speak of "free-relationships" you mean in a certain cultural demographic? Also please explain how this will help our society. Not make individuals "happier" but help society. Happy individuals have a tendency to be self destructive. <br /><br />Also do you realize the irony in asking some one named "Snark" to not be sarcastic?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694927555991963163.post-24184302858971355212010-06-01T16:14:29.663+10:002010-06-01T16:14:29.663+10:00Thank you scarecrow, this kind of communication is...Thank you scarecrow, this kind of communication is what I am looking for.A socialist open to criticismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619402773454709868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694927555991963163.post-9328237260092053752010-06-01T15:29:39.643+10:002010-06-01T15:29:39.643+10:00Hmmm.

I also object to what I like to call the "deeply rooted contempt for men" in our society.<br /><br />You can browse my list here:<br /><br />http://www.rip-factor.com/formen/bwash.html<br /><br />I would be really interested in hearing what somebody like you thinks about those items.<br /><br />There are feed-back links all over my web-site.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935418620317902441noreply@blogger.com
