Yes, I think so anyway. I blog about chronic ptsd, murder, illness, struggles, love and how to move on..most of the time it is dramatic because it is real. So far, people has thanked me for speaking about the topics I've chosen. That makes it all worth it.

Absolutely. Everything from debates people don't want to have (the Confederate Flag, Sexism, Patriotism are a few recent ones) with viewpoints they don't want to hear to stories about our government, culture and politics that are truly ghastly in their implications.

Sometimes. The post that got the most negative feedback was questioning whether animals mind that we eat them.

I discuss death from time to time. There's a lot of denial on that topic. Search for die on my site and you'll get the idea. Letting Pandas go extinct, you can imagine how popular that was!

JMHO, there's nothing special about virgins.

I think that people write about those topics in a blog is because it's not the same as having the same discussion face to face with someone. It's a "safe" place to state your opinion on stuff. At least that's how I see it.

"Most important of all, his ego. Stroke his ego. Massage his ego. He is a man. Make him The Man! Don’t challenge his authority openly. Twist him round your little finger but let him believe he’s the Don calling the shots."

This reference is the perfect demonstration of an inferior male, and of feminine deception and parasitic leeching of the effeminate male's resources. The female deceives the inferior male into believing he is masculine and dominant, so as to maintain his investment and leech his economic and social resources. (It is effeminate males, who more readily submit to a higher authority, such as God or the state, that are most successful in modern systems and economies.)

This faked dominance relation is an attempt to mirror past, pre-civilized male-female relations, before males were emasculated to the degree they are now. The female pretends her emasculated male partner is "the man", when he is, in reality, orders of magnitude less masculine than males tens of thousands of years ago, a mere caricature of his forefathers.

It is the superficial imitation of what has atrophied.

Females believe they are in control, the ones with the real power, when it is only the weak male, who is basically a female with a penis, that they have mastered. A female could never control a masculine male. She will submit to such a man genuinely and automatically. She will absorb her ego and identity into his own.

I reject females, because they, in general, do nothing but drag me down and leech my resources. It is only irrational drives- such as the sex drive -that compel any male to seek the average female, who has nothing to offer in terms of intellectual companionship and physical rivalry. From a rational perspective, females generally give nothing of value in return.

Your "please don't reject us" is yet another example of feminine emotional manipulation tactics, if you were not being sarcastic.

Only weak, effeminate males are "gullible and susceptible" to females. Masculine males, with their higher quality, degree of self-control, and rational understanding, are free and independent of their female counterparts, and can resist their animalistic temptations. But civilization has minimized the number of such males, through genetic selection and cultural training.

To the average male, the female is confusing and indecipherable. But the reality is that females are one of the simplest things to figure out. With some observation and reasoning, their motivations, desires, and patterns can easily be deciphered. I know most females I encounter better than they know themselves.

Did I ever say females were at fault?

An idea of "fault" implies responsibility. Females, in general, lack the degree of conscious awareness and self-control of themselves to have responsibility. They are not at fault. They are products of their environmental and genetic programming.

"Necessary evils"? Necessary for what? Reproduction? Yes. Self-development? Companionship? No.

As for your post: perhaps, if I read it, and I find anything worth commenting on, I will share my thoughts on it.

Did some research on your point about African attitudes towards left-handers and came across this piece. Thought you might be interested.

Luckily for me I was left alone as it were, although I did go through most of my early school years with an ink-smeared left palm.

'Obama not the first black president' is indeed something people dont want to talk about or even know. It interferes with our euphoria of the moment. I think you fir right in here. I love your article on blacks so much. Thanks for writing from a new refreshing perspective.

Windroot, i went through your 'dealt a bad hand'. My younger brother is left handed and as africans, my folks were pretty upset because africans have a lot of superstitious beliefs about it. They tried to force him to use his right hand and it started affecting his physical balance. I read up on it and got them to leave well alone. He's all grown up now and doing very well and he's still left-handed! Nice post.

TheArchon on 'Do You Write About Things People Shy Away From?'

TheArchon — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:33:53 -0600

Yes.

Few people want to accept that life is constant need, incompleteness, and war; that all progress and achievement requires pain and suffering, and is built on inequality and competition; that all life is rooted in selfish action (self-perpetuation); that it is conflict that gives rise to all strengthening; that self-discipline and strict training characterize the path to flourishing.

People, in general, don't want to hear that they need to suffer to become actualized and strong, or that some are superior to others at existence as a phenomenon of life. They cannot handle suffering, and, in most cases, they subconsciously intuit that they are inferior, and so are repulsed by superiority/inferiority comparisons, which reveal their quality.

People only want to believe what comforts them and makes them feel good, and validates their emotionally-driven desires, hopes, ideals, and values. Weakness, in this era, is the rule. Hence the widespread belief in loving, caring entities/realities, like the Judeo-Christian God, or "The Secret".

Only the few, the courageous, can accept the indifferent nature of physical reality, and the brutal nature of existence within it. It is, therefore, only these people that will master it.

Domination, through control.

Loss of innocence isn't the permanent thing people make it to be. I't always recoverable and needs to be cultivated.

The things that I write about (politics, religion, and maybe science) aren't things that people shy away from. What's really hard for me to write about are the personal things I don't want to think about. Are we ever ready to face those demons from childhood?

@timethief, 'what excess in your life will you prune in 2009' got me thinking. I simply paused and thought about the excesses in my life. the major one is saying yes to people anytime they need help and whenever i manage to say no, i spend hours feeling guilty and worrying about the person. very soon, im sure im gonna add BC to things i need to prune. i spend too much time here already and i just joined! lol

Sebastyne — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:22:43 -0600

From time to time yes. I used to be quite good at saying things people rarely dared to think about without feeling guilty. Like "beautiful girls like to hang out with handsome boys and they have a right to." :D (Or worse yet; "I think I'm beautiful". That's something that nobody wants to hear.) Now I keep to subjects like God's narcissistic personality disorder, insulting some kings, gods and business owners, BDSM and the sort.
