    How someone behaves is none of my business but if people are shamed by words that accurately describe them their problem is with reality not with the one using the word.

    If you're going to tell me what I believe (something you do all the time) then there is no need for me to respond.

    Do you deny that society or the government can in fact encourage or discourage various private behaviors?

    Like Hell it is.
    You remind of the dingbats who were clutching their pearls when Reagan called the Soviet Union an evil empire.
    Not from me, he doesn't.
    Do you really need an explanation as to why that parallel is retarded?

    If so, get it elsewhere, as I won't be bothered with it.
    If it's done right that doesn't happen, but the object of shame is given pause to reflect on his or her ways.
    That would depend on the relationship between the shamer and the shamee, and whether the latter had any reason to hearken to the voice of the former.
    Negatory, if name calling was as far as it went.
    :yawn:
    Spoken with the authority of Christ, no doubt.
    Of course you do, because that supposition serves your prejudices.
    And well he might, seeing he didn't come within lightyears of advocating the death penalty for promiscuity.

    How should a person go about choosing a babysitter for their children?

    Remember, nobody has the right to judge others.

    Two consenting adults.

    You don't want the government in your bedroom, I'm sure they don't want you in their bedroom.

    I think you conveniently forget that if a woman has sex it's usually with men.....men have sex, too....


    I should have ammended that statement to say that SOME men have sex ....and the others slut shame people . :)






    I asked this once before of the OP and he could not answer ….maybe you can:

    Why do you think having sex is a crime like murder and child molestation?








    Now for the part YOU HAD TO IGNORE ;):

    Someone who is dependable, doesn't have a felony record, knows how to care for children, won't eat you out of house and home, and charges a reasonable rate.

    Most babysitters won't be giving sex ed seminars, or discussing politics with children.

    I believe that judgment of people should be associated with their behavior, but in particular- behavior that affects others. If your choices only apply to you, or you and another person making the same voluntary decision to participate. it remains a private matter. Now that doesn't mean I'm neutral- I still have the right to form an opinion of their personal standards and quality of character. I don't feel I have a right to shame them, to condemn them publicly for their private choices. I believe we need to respect the choices of individuals so long as they aren't affecting others, Not an easy call at times- but often better we err on the side of tolerance when private choices are involved.

    There are many behaviors which should be pointed out in public, because they affect the public directly. There are times when shaming serves as a social discipline, pointing that out; discouraging it. Seems we rarely use that wisely, however.

    BTW, I do NOT tell you what you believe. I interpret what you post and ask questions, questions you don't answer .

    If you don't want to perceive me as telling you what you think why don't you clarify what you think by answering questions?

    I once had a seven year relationship with a woman who made her money by taking her clothes off, in addition to modeling. She even showed up in Victoria Secrets catalogs a few times. She, and her colleagues, took the slut shaming almost as a badge of honor. It was almost a joke. Where else can you get a job where you can drink on the job, spend most of your time socializing, get naked, and not get fired. All the while making more than $100 an hour. But then, of course their sluttiness was mostly just for show as they never actually did things, you know. They just profited off of certain men who would lay a lot of money down, just to see.

    By the way, from conversations that I have heard in and around strip clubs, most of the women tend to be quite liberal while most of the men tend to be conservative.

    It's not unnatural. In mammalian nature only the strongest and fiercest males get to have sex.

    For the longest period of history it was encouraged by society that only males who had the human traits to provide for children with stability would marry and produce offspring. Humanity had gone from the chaos of the caveman to the order of the stable, steady, in it for the long haul man who stood on his own two feet.

    How do you explain liberals who want to make personal sacrifices to help poor people, save the planet from pollution and global warming?

    That is not the same thing at all. Just the opposite, in fact. The only commonality is that it's mean.

    No objection at all if they do it all with their own money, and none of other people's money through taxation and fees.

    Nah. We reserve "slut" for women so society can control their sexuality.

    The fact that you consider such a natural activity "giving in" is very telling in regards to your assumption that we should all live by your standards. Having sex is not showing a lack of self control, and self denial is not a sign of strength. If someone is living their best life as a good, kind person, thoughtful and not judgmental, harming no one, and having sex with another consenting adult when it suits them both, who are you to judge?

    I'm just saying that the intimate activities of other adults are none of your business and don't affect your life, so stop judging.

    Early on I figured the math didn’t add up. If all the girls were staying virgins until marriage, who were all the boys getting experience with. It seemed someone wasn’t telling the truth.

    It is natural law. It is how humans reproduce and has been so since before society existed. Your response is not an answer. It is just a criticism. Does nothing for me.
    You remind me of a fool who says things without first thinking them through. Good manners foster peace in society. I want peace in society not foolishness. I have no pearls by the way.
    Not from me, he doesn't.

    Yes, please explain.

    Of course you won't. You aren't any good at it. You are good criticizing.

    You think shaming generates self reflection? Actually it generates anger.

    Shaming is fine for some people but not for others. That's logical?
    I'll pass on these since I'm too lazy to look up the posts to which they responded.

    So, no real response from you. You feel free to denigrate women who have sex outside of marriage by calling them an ugly, hateful name like slut, and you think you have the right to do so. I think that's just mean, period.
