    So some nutter in the U.K., Dr. Brett Mills, has recently published an article claiming that animals have a right to privacy and that nature documentaries violate that right. The kicker? This nutbag isn't even a biologist. He's a faculty member of the University of East Anglia's school of film and television studies.

    So what other completely inane and crazy theories have you read about lately?

    How likely is it that bongi will come in here and start arguing the philosophical ramifications of animal privacy? (LOVE YOU TOBY)

    hey it is my university!

    and if animals want a right to privacy maybe they should not poop in my living room

    I promise I'll never poop in your living room

    that's exactly what my cat said
    exactly

    cats lie like whores

    From what I read of that horrible article, they are not conceiving the child themselves. At least she's not. Still way gross.

    listen up

    I have literally no problem with a dude fucking his grandma

    like really

    if a brother and sister want to get BIZZAAYYY, whatever man, same goes for any two legal adults in the entire world

    they're making that decision, they know they're related, but it's not hurting anyone, they're two legally consenting adults and it is not up to me or anyone else to say who you can love. I certainly don't approve but shhhrruuggg, people are weirdos



    but having a baby changes matters. You're introducing a third person into the world bred from your union. From the incestuous union of two people. You're selfishly having a kid because YOU want a kid, you're not thinking what kind of shit you're bringing that kid into. It's ridiculous self-centered and if I had my way.

    Sure you have the freedom to HAVE kids but sometimes you SHOULDN"T. Having a kid with your own grandfather/relative is one of those times.


    Fuck them all you like, who cares? But don't goddamn bring a kid into it

    But Jaime and Cersei's kids turn out alright.

    Kind of.

    I mean, two of them end up King, that ain't so bad.

    No, but Steve couldn't hide the fact that he committed the crime.

    My real question is why bname isn't posting with his personal contact info in his signature.

    Perpetuating the destruction of privacy starts with you bro.

    Janice just got out of a violent, abusive relationship with Chuck. She's got a new job and a new place in a new town. Away from Chuck. And Chuck has no idea where she lives or works anymore, so she doesn't have to worry about the next time he gets drunk, or high, or just bored and angry.

    What the hell kind of no privacy is being put forward here?

    Like no secrets?

    You're gonna have to change human nature for that one

    People just saying everything they're thinking at all times
    Living outside or in houses with invisible walls
    No clothes, no pockets

    What the hell does a world with no privacy look like?

    Also you missed the whole part of the argument where I made the point that the decision to keep things private out of a fear of retribution is often a really bad idea

    Because (a) it helps maintain the status quo of bigotry (as evidenced by the fact that those who learn someone they know is gay are less likely to be anti-gay rights; therefore honest interaction encourages acceptance. As I said earlier in the thread, you don't get social change by being meek and private) and (b) because many people realize once they've come out that it's much much better than being in the closet. Fear keeps them from doing what ultimately bears out as a much more preferable option.

    Society (i.e. you) has no right to dictate how a person should live their life (unless they are harming others).

    You are deciding that the best way for a gay person to live their life is to be out, to not be "meek and private" and to encourage change

    This is exactly what privacy is about

    That gay person gets to decide if they want to be out or to fight for gay rights or to do nothing like that at all

    You, society, the government don't get to decide what the best life is for an individual
