@Mandatory Carry @Legalize You're both wrong. It is all clearly a simulation, the earth has no shape.

@Unironic Ohio Supremecist ...did they call all four things at once? Cuz while those aren't specifically contradictory, they are odd together. More, it seems odd to call something four things at once.

I'd like to think they are. But, I would guess it depends on the definition you go with for each.

It's like Fascist... While my personal knowledge convinces me that fascism is practiced in Italy, in the 20th century, an ideology of communism/Marxism, created by Mussolini, the common usage has changed... usually to, a conservative (or libertarian) who is winning an argument.

Boomer usually refers to baby boomer. IWtFAS is referring to your age.

@Islamic Space Program I guess it could be worse, I could be you for the rest of my life.

I wasn't making an argument.

So, correct.

Then why are you here?

It's completely voluntary.

I'm more of a Thomas Sowell man...

@Islamic Space Program your mom

*snort* I like you @Islamic Space Program you got nothing useful to say, but you say it poorly... Interesting.

@Islamic Space Program Oh, that was an argument. You have nothing useful to say, yet you do so poorly: Change my mind.

@stephfire sorry, I'm sure I'd happily work to get along with you. Right now though, I'm having alot of fun poking @Islamic Space Program. I'm a reactions guy (like a cat), I enjoy pushing the object over the edge then watching it fall...

@stephfire but, if you want to talk about something, let me know!

*Head nod* Good good, but, do you have anything useful... Say a good quick bread recipe...

@Islamic Space Program Are you a bot? Cuz that would explain just so very much.

@Beemann That is amazing.

@Beemann me?

I just got here, then @Islamic Space Program started throwing insults, which I enjoyed. But, I did not "hear" about your family structure... But I'll "listen" if you want to "talk."

(Now that's an interesting sentence to type, I wonder when the normal phrasing will switch to read/type instead of listen/talk)

lol, yes

Don't slam your dick in a sliding glass door. It does not end well for anyone.

Family structures are important. But should generally follow the Heroes journey for (initially males, but I'd argue that females must be included in the structure for society to continue working).

The problem for females comes down to the coming back part, if they do not move quick enough, faster than the males have to, they will be "punished" to a greater extent.

@FrostyCrits cool!

One must leave the family, find a "trainer" of some sort, be challenged, go through hell, come back out, learn, come out the other side, go home...

This is the essence of growing up, the reason so many "ancient" stories follow that line...

Family should have the goal of nurturing this process. Family must raise children with the goal of removing them from the family, so they can grow, change, then rejoin the family.

Most of the flaws in family comes down to failing to do so.

Literary structures are interestingly form follows function.
