Unfortunately I live in a country where the entire system was established by and for money addicts who never cared about love to begin with because they were born with money and started off at a young age not giving a shit about anything except more money.

I can't help but be offended by various implications of this tirade.

And of course I'm self-aware enough to wonder if my own quest for sex and love is any better than the Capitalist Dog's own quest for money. Were I to find either I have no idea if I'd be happy or be some kind of awful philanderer who lived multiple lives trying to receive as much love and affection as he could possibly get.

Yeah I'm offended by it too but it's in my head and I can't fucking ban myself from my head or I would have done so a long time ago.

Wasn't your country actually founded by religious fanatics for whom money-hunger was merely an unfortunate side-effect?

That's a misconception for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the pilgrims that came here looking for "religious freedom" (they actually just didn't like the way religion was handled in England at the time. nobody forced them out they were just kinda like "eh this isn't working") aren't the founders. Most of the country was farming operations that were run by people who were already rich and offered the very poor a "new life" in exchange for labor. New England is where the religious shit went down, but everything south of that was tobacco production (maybe some cotton? it's been a while).

The founding fathers as we know them weren't really poor. We like to say that they were all self-made men but they didn't start from scratch so much as they had a lot of work ethic, which starting from scratch will actually diminish fairly efficiently. But there's a reason Ben Franklin is on our $100 bill. They also weren't very religious. Deism was the popular philosophy among intellectuals of the time period. Jefferson is famous for having cut up a Holy Bible and only keeping the parts he thought were relevant.

Edit: <Insert insensitive statement about how moving upward in a class structure is and always has been a myth>

Er, that wasn't a request for a lesson in history I actually do know.

Maybe I should've added a  :whoops:  above, but I suspect you would have posted the same reply anyway.

Sorry, I like to talk and it's something I know a bit about. I got excited to share.

I don't really think being really interested in money is any worse than being really interested in love. Everyone's just got different ideas of what they want, and shouldn't really be looked down on for pursuing those ideas.

Well, except when it hurts other people, of course.

I, for one, like the concept that you can't have casual sex without pregnancy.

That's a bit much. I don't really think we have to start worrying based on one minor meltdown.

Unless he starts stalking rich people.

It's Akin's corollary: Women get extra-pregnant while wanting and enjoying sex.

I was thinking along the same lines as R2. If I'm not mistaken, this isn't the first post in this vein.

Spent about an hour talking my mom through fixing her truck over the phone at work today. I hate that I'm so terrible at visualizing and explaining stuff if its not right in front of me.

I must not know what the definition of "a modern sex life" is, then. I assumed you meant the kind of sex lives people have that could simply be described as modern, without needing further explanation or simply refer to "traditional" monogamous situations.

Edited for clarity.

Nex at this point I think all you can do is admit that you said some stupid shit because you were having a bad day and leave it at that. We've all been there buddy, it ain't the end of the world.
