There are certain hormones that I would gladly dispose myself of, if only I could...

And TMA, if you are annoyed because my posts are not simple enough for your mind to process, then I apologise...

By my opinions stand and I will not listen to anyone who wants to limit freedom of speech.

[nemafakei]

But we cannot dispose of instincts - we can, however, restrict them to their proper place (wherever there is one) and no more.

[Anathema]

The point was that TMA was acusing the younger members of being sex driven zombies that type bullshit- while he is only 17 himself.

[Acriku]

He says it because he has experience and is experiencing it now! He is one of them and admits it! That said, what is your point now?

[Anathema]

My point is that just because I'm a teenanger doesn't mean I get my sex drive wacked up when posting a reply and is not necessarily horses dung as he says.

[TMA_1]

We can control it but we still feel it. If you dont feel it then first of all you lie to yourself and second you are in denile. Edric. You need those hormones. They are extremely important to your body. Your posts are not complicated. its the exact opposite. You blab on and on so much that you forget the focus of your talk. You could sum it up in a few sentances. Intelligence isnt babbling on and on, it is getting your point across in the best way possible. I can control my feelings but I feel them nema.lol Its natural. You make good sense though nema about this being a forum and we are not supposed to write essays on this site. It is silly. I am saying that people actually attempt to do that and its dumb.lol

[Edric O]

Why not? Maybe I like writing essays.

And my posts are long because I'm either bringing up many arguments to support the same point (I think this is what you mean by "blabbing on and on") or I have LOTS of points to address.

In any case, why is this any of your business? If you don't like my posts, don't read them.

[TMA_1]

because it clogs up the rest of the talk. your pretty darn smart man you dont need a whole mess of words.

[Edric O]

to certain girls like toni braxton and others I totally agree with acriku. mesohorny. [...]

Btw, since you're a Christian, you DO realize that lust is a sin, right? ::)

[Edric O]

because it clogs up the rest of the talk. your pretty darn smart man you dont need a whole mess of words.

If I have many things to say, I will say them. All of them.

[TMA_1]

yeah edric it is a sin. We are saved by christ. Why judge?

[Edric O]

I'm not judging you, I'm judging myself. Just because I am saved by Christ doesn't mean I have an excuse to sin.

[TMA_1]

it is a safty line for sin. its better to know your sins than to hide them.

[Acriku]

Lust is a sin that can't be helped sometimes.

Although I am lost on the fact of why looking at a girl and getting a rush of hormones is a sin.

[TMA_1]

it isnt. The sin is in the mind. The feelings are natural though.

[Edric O]

Of course feelings are natural. That's why sometimes your mind has to fight against them. Having a certain feeling is not a sin, but condoning it IS a sin.

[Anathema]

Do you find sexual desire to be a sin?

[Edric O]

No, unless you let it control you.

[TMA_1]

Well its different for your husband/wife. "The marriage bed is undefiled." The bible says. When we are married we can lust all we want for our partner.lol

[Anathema]

Agreed- though I must point out men usually have stronger lust feelings then women (or at least that is my observation).

[Dante]

And the desperate/lonely/unhappy/drunk have the most of all.

[TMA_1]

that is usually more of an emotional need than lust. Usually.lol

[SurlyPIG]

What a hypocritical, pointless post. If this was coming from someone like Nema, Emp, or Taq, then I could see the arguement. But your posts are even less intelligent than mine, TMA. Most are like this one - a rant. BTW, calling someone's opinion incorrect or stupid is immature. If you can't respect thier opinion then post elsewhere. If you can't handle reading their longer posts, then, again, post elsewhere. Nobody is holding your eyes open and forcing you to read. If you don't like long posts, don't read them!

[Acriku]

ACE, why continue it if you despise it? And you can respect people's opinion and at the same time declare its inaccuracy. I respect your opinion on your belief, but given the chance I would declare inaccuracies that may affect your opinion. Opinions can be wrong, like saying "IMHO the only gender on earth is purple and consists of monkeys operating it". Back on topic...

And sarah, men have a harder time because of our higher levels of testosterone, and what I meant was we can't sometimes control the response you might have to a hot chick, but you can suppress any action from it.
