This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I agree, and personally find "chaste" or "prude" women unattractive.

I find it very fascinating and difficult to relate to that large swaths of the population seem to see it differently. The number of times i've heard some man say "women should all be more modest" is mind-blowing for me.

Women, as all humans, have value within themselves, and if they manage to express that ("self-expression") then the outer world gets to see and share a part of that value. If people don't act on their instincts, they might as well be dead. Non-constructivists "traditionalists" are only dead weight and don't contribute anything to society, and i don't comprehend how some people can see meaning outside of the expressions of the living's soul. That is why self-expression is so important.

Psychopaths: "Oh boy, here I go killing again."

I feel like theres a bit of a leap in logic there, from being open about sex to killing people

also I tho8ght that was a family guy quote and was SEVERELY disappointed when I looked it up

fair enough

btw i think you're confusing "psychopaths" and "sociopaths" here. what you're referring to is sociopaths, i think, who have little concern for human life. Psychopaths, on the other hand, have difficult time making coherent thoughts, but that mostly affects themselves and their ability to work constructively, not so much their environment. just a small fyi

also, sociopaths don't typically kill people quickly or randomly; but rather slowly, by draining their resources out of them, for their own benefit. kinda like what capitalism is doing.
