What is the government.
Government protects you from anarchy.
Get rid of one government and from the anarchic chaos another government will appear.
And your gun will protect you, only if you get your shot in first. And the other guy thinks exactly the same gunslinger.
American institutionalised paranoia relative to gun ownership is an interesting data transfer trait for sure.

Most of you is just an independent coalesced blob of organic matter.
With a quite amazing blob of electro-chemically charged matter inside your head.
Finding yourself is just about how this onboard organic computer processes data.

There are traumas and issues, and then there are traumas and issues.
There's deeply rooted psychological stuff.
Kids and young adults and all their sexual angst.
And brief moments of disappointment when things don't go according to planned.

True.
There is always a conflict of interests between body and mind.
And for sure, some people are more predisposed to a problematic mind.
Though I was referring more to the trauma and issues common amongst younger people.

@RationalMadman
Traumas and issues are largely based upon the endocrine system and innate data signalling where we lack conscious control.
Whereby we attempt to consciously override or ignore, subconscious messaging.
Easier to manage as one ages.

As I stated, it's easy to supplement ones food requirements. I also have fruit trees, grow vegetables and harvest wild stuff.
I found that it was actually cheaper and easier to buy eggs.
I have no desire to try and be totally self-sufficient. Far to time consuming and labour intensive, and I have other things that I enjoy doing.
And I will pass on the insects for now.
Best of luck with your growing ventures.

@Best.Korea
Growing a few supplementary foods is relatively easy and not too time consuming.
To be self sufficient requires total dedication, with little time for anything else other than essential day to day stuff.
To become self sufficient and retain a comfortable existence in a modern consumer society also requires a whole lot of financial investment and maintenance.
So, growing a few supplementary foodstuffs is what millions of people already do.
And becoming totally self sufficient is what a handful of financially secure people might have a go at.
Hunter gathering I suppose, though to relinquish all social and financial support would mean a hard short existence.

To be honest, who would employ people with serious psychological problems.
They would always be throwing a sicky.
Not that throwing a sicky isn't already an established part of (British)work culture.
Perhaps the U.S. is different.

@Deb-8-a-bull
I would suggest, that for some reason or not.
Running parallel with the process of universal decline and innate material decay, is the process of material evolution. Whereby the processes of material function are harnessed and developed.
We are a part of this.
I refer to this as the GOD principle.
But not to be confused with the floaty about bloke of Middle Eastern folk tales.

@Intelligence_06
Yep. That's how I look at it.
Ideology is simply ideology, and is harmless for as long as it remains ideological.
How ideology manifests as action within society is its measure. And extreme left is as oppressive as extreme right, as recent history as shown.

Chemicals is as chemicals does.
And P is no more or less the expression of socially repressed procreational necessity.
Same as all the other sexual bullshit that human society creates.
H is just boring.

Poly was brilliant fun, as was Mr Ethan(g).
They added a bit of spice to what can sometimes be very mundane.
And if such people aren't appreciated, then they can easily be ignored.

Cambridge.
Very Laissez-faire.
I like all your euphemisms too.
And when you get to my age you realise that you've been a slave to your inner procreational urges ever since your first wet dream.
Doesn't matter who does what to who during the process of satisfaction.
Then roll over and go to sleep until the next time.
And perhaps settle down in a nice apartment with a nice vegan kitchen and a cute puppy.
And suck and fuck for all you're worth, for as long as the it lasts.
Makes no difference.

Have you ever considered that everyone perhaps thinks the same about you.
And therefore candy was a kind sympathetic gesture.
Candy is one of those American words that I can't get used to.
Prostitutes always spring to mind.
Nice cheerful playful curly haired prostitutes though.
Not that I know any first hand of course.
Just fantasising.

A Zedku for YouFound-Lxam
For all schoolkids out there:
Q. How do gay people make babies?
A. They pretend,
Either in bed, or on the kitchen table,
And then go out and buy one from a real lady,
Often through a baby dealership.
Similarly,
Lesbian couples also pretend,
But might just buy some realmansperm,
Often through a sperm dealership.
It's usually the non-butch one that takes the hit.
But you already knew this kids,
Because you're smart with phones.
And if you're not smart with phones,
Your mate is.
Have fun behind the bike sheds.
That was where we smoked and played with girls.
Playing with boys was frowned upon back then.
Times are a changing.
Always play responsibly.

Bees and other pollinators are an environmental necessity.
As I'm sure you are aware.
So bee health is an important human environmental consideration too.
Though that is not to say that in the bigger scheme of things, humans actually need to care about anything.
That said though, one might also conclude that human environmental concerns and interventions could be an evolutionary inevitability.
Where to go.

@IlDiavolo
Yep a liberal ideology, as I stated.
Though in liberally progressive societies, all the information is out there and readily available for kids to absorb, so whether or not it is discussed in a School environment becomes somewhat irrelevant anyway.
That said, perhaps it is therefore essential that such things are discussed openly and in a balanced way.
As I don't foresee any imminent reversal of current social trends.

The UK jails you for misgendering.*
Where did you get that nonsense from?
And NATO is a whole different ball game.
Not sure that I see the link between what is an essential collective security organisation and the variable social policies of individual States.
On that basis there would probably be reasons for kicking all member States out of NATO, including the US.
And I was referring more to child protection services rather than specific gender issues.
Though, if a child is misgendered,* then an error must have occurred and therefore must be dealt with appropriately. Which in the UK is unlikely to result in a custodial sentence.
*Misgendering. Your word, not mine.

There's no reasonable comparison to be made between a biting dog and a human developmental anomaly.
Intersexual anomalies occur rarely, whereas dogs bite normally and more frequently than you give them credit for.
Which is not to say that environmental influences will not increase the frequency of such anomalies to a point of normalization.
After all, we must consider the reality of everything relative to evolutionary processes.
Nonetheless, a man is a man and a woman is a woman. Though words are easily manipulated to suit a purpose.
And transsexual identities are a recent socio-psychological development, relative to changing social ideas and influences.
Whether or not this will lead to a permanent modification of human physical and biological structure, remains to be seen.
Though it's fair to say that the concept will probably evolve for as long as it is allowed to.
Though concepts are easily reversible, if social change and pressure dictate.

Eating and sex are a species necessity.
Pleasure is a concept we employ and attribute to eating and sex.
Though perhaps satisfaction is a more appropriate word than pleasure.
Nonetheless, in achieving satisfaction we derive what we refer to as pleasure.
Just made up words that describe our inner processes though.
Because we think, we tend to think we are different to what we actually are....Which is reasonable.
So no, relative to human expectation there is no redundancy in what we sense and describe as pleasure.
Created:

@badger
The point is the survival and perpetuation of the species.
And what is pleasure, other than a sub-conscious, internal electro-chemical response to a stimulus.
So the conscious thinking brain makes up all sorts of other stuff as well.
And sometimes it's easy to overthink and thereby overlook the distinction between the two levels of internal function.

The State does decide, when situations demand that they do.
I'm assuming that the USA has some sort of social care system, similar to the UK's.
And I don't make any distinctions between the skin tones or features of parental rights, or children's rights.

OK Mr Udog.
You missed the point completely. I was looking a little bit ahead.
As I stated, you're thinking is stuck in the quagmire that is the U.S. right here right now.
Which is reasonable.
And you never know, Beijing might turn America into Beijing.

The Omega Point.
Very apt.
How about the Zed point?
I'm just biased in the direction of not worrying about non-issues. Between the telecom industry and the FCC there's a veritable army of PhD's that are paid big bucks to worry about it for us.
Exactly my point.
So, if an army of PhD's is paid big bucks to worry about issues, then by definition they are not non-issues.
And of course, by paying big enough bucks, then PhD's are going to say what their paymasters are wanting to hear.
Which is why alternative opinions are essential, in a World corrupted by money.
