Evangelical extremist?

[Nearly Sane]

no its not!

It is an unrealistic desire but a desire nonetheless

I didn't say it wasn't your desire, so repeating that is irrelevant. It's a false dichotomy because you are suggesting not wanting to live forever means not wanting to live till the day after tomorrow.

[Brownie]

I bet most people would want to live forever in a healthy body never ageing or wearing out.

It cannot happen, but if you do not want to keep living, will you make the end of the week, and why bother.

That's very extreme thinking, BeR.  Unless life is terrible I would think we all want to live as long as we can.

Wanting to hang onto life forever is a different matter and it smacks of being afraid of death.

We are programmed not to want death.
All I am saying is that I like being alive and would just want it to continue.

[Brownie]

It's good that you like life, BeR, in fact it's marvellous; hopefully it will continue for a long time.

no, you were saying that not wanting to live forever meant not wanting to live till the day after tomorrow. That is a false dichotomy.

[Spud]

And of course Spud us now calling every woman having sex past the menopause who has sex a pervert. But it's on, because it's a fact because he says it is and he has tiny hands

And since the 'function' of drinking is to keep you from dying of thirst, them having a nice cuppa just for the fun of it is a dirty dirty filthy perversiong

It will certainly make you need to pee, if that's what you mean... Sex is for the transmission of life, but only sex with someone of the opposite sex. Making love to a woman is the same act when she is fertile as when she is not.

Bit of a contradiction in that paragraph.

Lots of of people over a very long period of time have seen it.

You appear not to have done.

All the same; I'll give you some time to identify it 

[Spud]

Shaker,

I think this phrase, "but only sex with someone of the opposite sex" overrides the apparent contradiction in the paragraph.

[Shaker]

I think you're forgetting the "transmission of life" bit

[Spud]

I think you're forgetting the "transmission of life" bit

I was primarily responding to the claim that if gay sx is perverted, then so is post-menopausal sx. I pointed out that heterosexual sx is the same action whether or not the woman happens to be fertile. Thus it is not a perverted action. You wouldn't say that sx when the woman isn't ovulating is perverted. So neither is it after she stops ovulating.

I think you are forgetting that although people want sx without having children, the desire for it is built in so as to maximize the likelihood of pregnancy.

Why? I haven't made and wouldn't make such a claim. That falls to your lot.

I pointed out that heterosexual sx is the same action whether or not the woman happens to be fertile. Thus it is not a perverted action. You wouldn't say that sx when the woman isn't ovulating is perverted. So neither is it after she stops ovulating.

I wouldn't say either were perverted, but then of course, I don't say that gay "sx" is perverted either. And isn't "sx" between two gay people "the same action" each time?

I think you are forgetting that although people want sx without having children, the desire for it is built in so as to maximize the likelihood of pregnancy.

Except we're not mindless slaves to reproductive biology any more, are we?
