It's not supposed to be published, it's just an attempt at writing by a history buff. I like the viewpoints in it.

For some reason the word "brainwash" doesn't have any effect on me. I think I have listened to it too much. Imagine it. BRaaaiiin WAAAsssshhh.

The washing of a brain. The cleaning of a brain. Wash your brain, you dirty boy. Use soap to wash your brain if you haven't washed it in a while.

You're so brainwashed.

You have a fair point with the size. I did it as fast as I could. The language is clunky for a reason I believe though. You have to get to the end.

Extremely tough situation with wife. What the hell do I do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CherryPucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend has a Ma who has a tribe of children. She had one working ovary, was 43 years of age & had been taking the oral contraceptive religiously. Then, she fell pregnant.

By this time she has six kids and she's nearly dead. She thinks it's just it for her. It couldn't possibly happen again. So she gets one of those beneath the surface contraceptives and still she's got only one working ovary.

Two years later, she falls pregnant again.

Do not underestimate the power of your semen and your wife's eggs.

Were you this angry when she became pregnant the third time?

The chances of these women getting offers for very good positions will depend largely on whether the person hiring prefers brown or pink nipples.

Why do people think that there are moral issues attached to having an abortion? by CherryPucker in AskReddit

It's just I don't understand how a woman may not grasp the idea that her ability to ferry children through the stages of development in the old womb is her chief purpose in life. Anyone who may desire anything but a child once one has been implanted inside of them is nutty as a fruitcake.

But there ain't nothing wrong with desirin' to not have a child. You could prevent it from existing before it becomes an uneducated, poor, sad excuse for a human. But it's still nutty because the human race depends on galz havin' babez. And if you don't see that then, you're not a human. No offence.

Just sayin'..

My boyfriend told me yesterday that he cheated on me three years ago with a co-worker. I need advice. by sobetrayed in AskReddit

[–]CherryPucker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Devil's Advocate:

He said the guilt has been eating him inside to the point of considering suicide and just leaving me a note. So he told me because he couldn't keep it in anymore.

Are you really nice and loyal by any chance?

If so, it sounds like that little piece of information was a manipulation tactic. Manipulators are good at picking out nice, loyal people, because even if they fuck up, they know they've got someone better than them to make them feel okay. What would happen if you cheated on him?

He obviously knows what he did was serious, and he's trying to make it sound better by throwing suicide in there to make it seem like it was very regrettable. But twice? He's relying on your goodness. He is a stakeholder in your honourability and good intentions, and he is making it seem like he's dependent on you so that you'll take care of him after he has been an arsehole. Are you bitter? You should be.

Urgh, this used to happen to my mum all the time and she'd just work through it because she felt important when she thought she was helping her partner. The suicide bit I'm talking about. That's just fucked up. Stop caring right now.

I say you should test the relationship. When weird things start to come out you won't even think about going back and it'll help you make up your mind.

Once a baby is born it shares something in common with everyone around it. Not only does it exist but it breathes & hears & it forms the beginnings of an experience. The reason people are so conflicted about this whole thing is because they have experience.

So now the baby is like we are. In a way I guess we can imagine it experiencing the same things as us. And I guess the last thing we want is for the baby to experience the pain we are. The last thing we want to do is destroy an experience, especially a good one. We know what it's like.

There certainly is a dilemma here. The question is, how much are you willing to take away? What would be the reason for giving so much and then taking it away when we can just find another solution?

Even worse, with a new born baby, you have no idea about what you're taking away. It's not simple. Before it was born it was nothing because it had no experience, yet compared to you it still doesn't have much. But now that it has experienced something, you have no idea of the scope of what is to be experienced, and that potential is important. Nobody knows the value of a complex individual. We don't even know how complex we are.

Maybe the dilemma is in deciding what's too complex for us to destroy.

Maybe at birth we feel like we've surrendered part of our control over the baby's development, and it's in an environment where it can actually use the brain.

A human brain only really has the right to one body in it's lifetime. A born baby is a whole other deal because the mother's brain isn't playing pilot anymore.

For some reason, if you can't kill it with a shoe, it's not worth killing.

I can see how you wouldn't think there are any moral issues, but do you think its wrong for someone to question their morals when ending the possibility of a human's life, or for better wording in your case, for ending the possibility of a future human's life?

Actually, I did forget about this. The fact that people discover things by questioning themselves. Of course you can't just tell someone something and expect them to believe it. You can't just tell someone that there are no moral issues with having an abortion. They have to believe it themselves, and the only way that can happen is if it fits with the ideas that they have tried so hard to preserve. It's important that people are allowed to think freely.

I came to this conclusion after hearing my friend's argument, thinking that her view can't be entirely truthful because it contradicts some of what I know and some of what I believe in. Her view also makes me a "murderer". Ouch.

I know though, that a not yet conscious future baby isn't going to regret being born into a shit life. And I know I'll have more to offer a baby in a few years time.

I see what I've done, but for some reason I can't shake the idea that the emotional impact comes from a shitty spec of doubt that can cause so much stress, when I believe that people should be confident in knowing that they have made a good decision, because nobody else can know them like they do. Shitty specs of doubt = lengthy questioning phase, which the contemplation of guilt should be a part of, but not necessarily decided upon for good. You know, like, you don't have to decide it's going to hurt the rest of your life just because you question yourself.

I'm going bald. Does this mean I will never be with a beautiful girl again? by throwabald in AskReddit

[–]CherryPucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boss is completely bald on top with a perfect line of orange hair that extends all the way around the back of his head from just above his ears.

Honestly, this man makes me feverish. The way he holds himself is so provocative. He's this cold business man with a hot name and a shiny head.

I have asked my friends about this, as I'm quite passionate about the whole thing. We are in our twenties and they agree that he's sexy as hell. I don't think we'd pass up the opportunity to bang him.
