if you like to think you're above it all and the world is a cookie jar for you to pluck from, more power to you. apparently nature gave you a distorted sense of optimisim.
humans are animals, and that methodic thinking you do is thanks to that brain you were given by nature
and I've been using "you" as an application to anyone. I thought that was obvious seeing as how I said you don't like Mayhem even though i have no idea what you're music tastes are like

If I eat ice cream because im hot, then I have CHOSEN to eat ice cream, to cool me down, because im hot. Its preposterous and quite ridiculous that you're stuck on the point of whether I chose to be hot or not in the first place. You decide what YOU do. Unforeseen outside factors may affect you. thats life. but still you decide what YOU do with your own mind and body. Reacting to your environment, IS choosing. But to say that one HAS to rape because of how they were brought up is insulting - you're condemning people. Why should they rape? I can teach them why not to, and how they can get greater joy from life. And if I cant, well then humanity and co-existance is flawed, and this whole conversation is irrelevant, because I dont give a **** about anyone who HAS to do anything. i dunno what that is but its inferior in my eyes, if it cant make its own decisions. Thats not my definition of Human.

i'm not insulting anyone, i'm simply stating the way things are. i personally feel for people who were raped, but that's just me and not everyone else
the only ridiculous thing is the condescending attitude you decided to take towards me in an otherwise civilized (and extremely complicated) debate
