Why don't you go on Tinder and try and get some girls or something dude? What do you ever gain from writing this dumb shit all day long?

As for Tinder, that is degenerate.

You should try Catholic-specific dating services or ways to specifically meet them. I am waiting a bit (matter of months) to be able to claim the title. Then I can fully seek Cath women that are serious and win over their parents.

Yep.

Either the biggest troll, or getting worse.

Too much pent up sexual tension.

When the "peak" erupts it could get could very messy and sticky.

Look what ensued after Mary's lover erupted.

That sounds kinda nice, but make sure she is a virgin. Your religion doesnt let you marry non-virgins, which is a good rule.

Yes it does.

I can marry a non virgin if she has fully repented (or obviously if it was outside of her control).

You know next to nothing about Catholicism it seems.

Want me to quote you Jesus where he says not to marry a divorced woman?

@Adaptable

"“It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of porneia (sexual immorality), makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:31-32)."

So yeah, find a virgin.

Do you know women can have sex outside of marriage, physically?

Also, annulment exists.

I did not know that you thought virginity meant never getting married.

By Bible, they have obligation to marry if they have sex with a person.

Yes, I know. 

It does not work how you think especially if she is a convert. She can have had sex before.

Also you ignore that she can have been raped before.

There is no such requirement at all. I will be seeking a serious Catholic but hardly will limit it solely to a virgin. That is not a requirement, it is one you added.

Now if I have sons and we know Catholic families, maybe a marriage can be semi arranged (semi means they consent to the marriage as adults) if they hit it off and it would be secured they both marry as virgins. That is unfortunately very rare now.

Bible tells you to marry your rapist.

So no, there is no case where you can have sex without Bible telling you to marry, unless its incest or whatever.

Do you really want to commit a sin and maybe even risk her doing more sins in future when you can literally just find a decent Christian woman who saved herself for marriage?

Adaptable was curious what you think. He had this idea for a revolution, but he wanted to discuss your thoughts and get your approval on it first because he was nervous you might disagree.
Yep, sounds like him.

Posted on the other thread. Would you do a debate over the best direction for the site

We can frame it over which direction is best for the site as it’s not about your character. Judges or open voting doesn’t matter to me. If it’s open , we will put in a clause that you can’t message anyone about it or voting or it’s a ff and we can have the mods highlight or vision.

I'd highlight the debate the entire way through arguments and the voting period. I would also commit to abstaining from voting if it is open voting, and I'd be good with RM posting a list of people who cannot vote on this debate.

Reiterating this is not meant to bully you or attack you or whatever you think. With David taking over, I think it’s a good Topic to explore and highlight as both directions are the logical paths. I’m a huge proponent for free speech and you are for making things tighter. So let’s touch gloves and box it out and have the mods boost it so everyone can read and form an opinion.

What are your guys' thoughts? 
On DDO, I found a forum I really liked. There was a strong, steady flow of users discussing the subjects that interested me, and I met a lot of interesting and intelligent people. I felt like I was in the agora, or tapped into one of the main debate arteries of the interwebs.

My only beef was that there was no moderation or active management. Spammers reigned and trolls could churn out a dozen garbage threads filling page 1 of a subforum.

When DART started, I wanted only to restore what DDO felt like, but with attentive mods. I wanted the same community instead of all of us scattering to the four winds, but with a company or administration that gave a shit. That's still all I want.

It's not going to be achieved through purges and feuds.

@Mikal you would need to unblock me.

Also we should have weeklong Rounds and many characters available. We would need to explore the pokicies of all highly successful sites in 2025.

Furthermore, we would need to keep it impersonal. I already know I need to scrub clean my rap battles and more. I was a hypocrite and I need to wipe that clean completely.

I have unblocked you.  Nothing to do with either one of us. Just the best direction for the sight. We can work on framing it

Would essentially be open voting. 

If you lobby you get a dq 
Argue in the spirit of the topic and no semantics 

Resolved : DART would benefit more from lax moderation compared to stricter moderation.

No. 

I think the best way to frame this is we each present a direction for the site and the most desired wins. Because other wise it will be hard to draw a line on what entails “strict” moderation.
