I think the disparity between the physical capability to have sex and the psychological capability to process it comes out of the disparity between the evolutionary need to reproduce quickly and a modern society with 80-year lifespans. Along the course of human evolution, the ability to reproduce at younger ages made mankind more likely to survive as a species, even if the average lifespan wasn't much more than 30 years. If you can have children younger, you can have more of them, and train them better to survive so that they can do the same.
But in modern society, it's not necessary to have children at 15; 15-year-old's are still seen as children, and need more preparation for a more advanced world. Basically, our bodies couldn't change as quickly as our minds and our society.
Although, if the world really DOES end, the ability to reproduce young could once again become a preferable trait.
In any case, I don't think that many people consider the law when they are teenagers as far as sex is concerned. I think the only real consideration age of consent laws typically get are when 30-year-old's want to fuck minors. Which is wrong. But I don't think it's wrong for two 17-year-old kids to fuck each other. I think some states already have laws like this, but I think the best way to do it is to say that when you are 16, you can have sex with people up to age 18 or 19, and when you turn 18, you are open game.

Bah, you got me; we don't even let black people into the state of Virginia.

Hopefully the fire burned his balls enough that he is now sterile.

Ha. I should try that out with my black friends...

That movie was a dramatized version of a remote possibility. Real ecological disaster would not happen so quickly.
And the phrase is "Don't shit where you eat." or "don't shit where you sleep." That's not a jab at you or anything, just a clarification.

But I don't see why it should matter how old you were when you tried to kill yourself. It's not hard to die. Anyone who fails to kill themselves either to much of a failure to accomplish the simplest of tasks, or they don't really want to die and it's one of those cry for help things.
Maybe I should be more sympathetic towards people who feel like that's their only choice, but I don't. Life sucks, get used to it or quit.

Whoever wrote that must know it would never get passed, so I have to wonder...WHY would they write it? you don't just do something like for no reason...

I've gone back to listening to some older bands lately, although I'm not entirely sure why.
namely, Killing Joke

and
The Smiths (even though Morrissey can be a fucking hippie sometimes; he's still probably the most awesome vegetarian alive.)


Also, The Offspring; still making good music.


I'm probably forgetting something, though...

I'm not worried about the feelings of the plants.
You are operating from false assumptions. You seem to think that the human race is removed from the ecosystem of the earth, firing darts of evil at it. Despite it sounding like hippie bullshit, the easiest way to say it is that humans are connected to all other living things on this planet. It's not as simple as, "remove humans and the problem goes away." That's like cutting off someone's arm because they have an infected finger.
In fact, your own example is flawed. You basically seem to be saying that human life does nothing for plants. Which is wrong. There are some plants that are entirely dependent on humans to exist, but that's not a large portion at all, the bigger issue is that there are close to 7 billion humans on earth, all helping to produce the carbon dioxide necessary for plants to live. Would the loss of this eliminate all plant life? No, probably not, but it would certainly hurt it.
There is also the matter of fertilization of soil, which is also affected by human life.

My point here is that human's interaction with the Earth's ecosystem is not limited to the negative things that hippies like to point out. We are integrated into it as much as any other living thing. If all humans simply disappeared, the entire planet would have to scramble to adapt.

I realize that humans do bad things to the planet, but it's more important to focus on helping an ecosystem we are a part of than to see ourselves as a problem outside of it. Because we aren't outside of it.
Which is my whole point here.
And I don't think that people who see any harm humans do to the planet should kill themselves, I think that anyone who sees the human race itself as a pox upon the earth should kill themselves. By their own logic, it could only help.

Also, you said you did the killing yourself thing, but are clearly still alive, so you are also a failure.
You really should feel bad about yourself.

I called you stupid because you believe things to be fact that are not.
Humankind disappearing would not be good for the planet.
I'm not saying that mankind doesn't do harm to the planet, I'm just saying that our elimination is not good for the planet either, and you probably think humans do more damage to the environment than we actually do anyway.

And I didn't tell YOU specifically to kill yourself this time. I said that any human who believes the human race to be so negative on the earth can help the problem by killing themselves.

That song is great if for no other reason than that it contains both Meatloaf and Dio.

Also, as far as dirty songs go, Put it in Your Moth by Akinyele is pretty dirty.

@Itdan676: To be clear, I don't think you are an asshole, just a bit stupid.

Looking at things from a religious point of view, humanity is more important than other physical creatures because we are created in God's image. But religion is stupid, and should be ignored, especially when trying to speak rationally.
I know religion has only been brought up a little bit in this thread, but I thought I would address it and get it out of the way real quick there.

Even if humans are a race of idiots, we are also the only creatures that can recognize idiocy. And regardless of our intelligence, we are a significant part of the ecosystem. If humans never existed, the conditions of the earth would likely be vastly different; but not necessarily better. No one can now tell what the earth would be like if humans never existed, and now that we have existed this long, for us to suddenly disappear would be devastating to the ecosystem of the planet. Not that the planet would die, but it would certainly not be GOOD.
There isn't such a huge gap between humans and other living things. Man was created naturally, just like everything else, we simply have a larger capacity for creation and destruction than other animals do.
If you believe in evolution, then there is no reason to see mankind as a "virus" or anything. And if you don't believe in evolution, than you have no place in a rational conversation.

And if you DO see humanity as inherently bad or viral, there is a very simple solution; kill yourself.

@ltdan676: You could take a step to make the world a better place and kill yourself.


@Shaggy: I wouldn't worry too much about all that shenanigans on the past two pages. Some of it might be worth reading, but most of it isn't.

Because maybe you don't like that person?

With their warp physics and tachyon rays...

Man Boy Love Association. Or the Marlon Brando Look Alikes.
South Park.

Although that's not too abstract a reference.
Just saying.

And someone THAT annoying kindof deserves meeting up with a 40-year-old pervert on the internet. Maybe not the getting raped part, but just getting freaked out enough to realize how fucked up the internet can be.

You are human, too. Your ideals are probably arbitrary anyway.

Don't get me wrong, people suck, in general. But some have the capacity to be better.

That kid's fucked up.

On the other hand, a dude got his friends to help him antagonize and publicly humiliate his little brother.
So it's even more awesome.

You must have misplaced your brain.

That's because "Theoretical physics" is not science. It might one day contribute to science, but currently, it's more ideas than anything, since most of it is really provable or even testable. But it all sounds very cool and neat, and it generally sounds like it would make sense. But that doesn't make it true.
