That's right, something I admire about British people is that they created a lot of sports like boxing and football in witch they put rules over something people were already doing so they could control it.
If people want to fight,or compete let them and they will calm, repress them and it will grow and grow. It is in our instinct to fight and compete, so better to do it in a walled garden.
I prefer a person that feels the sexual urge to masturbate with cartoons than with pictures of kids, and with pictures of kids than with real kids, in fact I don't care what a man does in his house with things, I care if they affect real people.
- olliesaunders 17y agoThere's a word for such things: catharsis.
- gcheong 17y agoAnd, apparently, according to some research, it's not always a good thing: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102344514 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1023445...
- olliesaunders 17y agoThat's just for anger though.
- gcheong 17y agoYes, but that was the argument that xcombinator lead with; that expressing violence in a controlled manner is a good thing - which is contradicted by research. Anyway, the idea that masturbating over fictional depictions of child sex is somehow preventative of actual child sex abuse is orthogonal to the problem being discussed here.
