Hawke&#39;s journal

You know exactly where I am coming from, then!

From:

In some places it's...wrong to speak about that type of thing in public...

From:

Why is it wrong? Is sex outlawed?

From:

Talking about it just isn't something people want to hear. It's not...socially acceptable.

From:

It is very sad that a society believes it is not an accepted thing. Secrets are damaging.

From:

No one wants to hear about people's personal lives, it's rude to invade their privacy.

I prefer it not accepted...I don't want to hear about it.

From:

There is a difference between learning about an act that happens everywhere and invading one's privacy.

If you do not wish to hear of it, you do not need to. But if others wish to learn, I will not deny them of that knowledge if they ask me.

From:

If they're that desperate to learn then they should either read things or go and talk to people privately instead of public announcements.

From:

I understand that. And I cannot control what others will do.

However, people will not know others who can help them unless they ask. And this is a big place. Not everyone knows me, and I certainly do not know everyone here! Sometimes the only way to discover a way to learn something is to ask a large group of people and go from there.

From:

Then they should filter their posts or something instead of shouting to the network for everyone to hear.

From:

Have you told people this? Those you are offended by that you would prefer that you not hear what they say?

From:

As if they'd listen...

From:

From:

Killing is something natural, too, and considered a perversion as well.

Would you say the same about homicide as you say about -- the coitus?

From:

Coi--?

We all kill to survive. Whether that be for food or defense. Killing for fun is wrong, just as taking another's body against their will is wrong.

From:

Coitus. It is the same thing as the one you were talking about. Merely another word for it.

Ah, but then why is sleeping with another person for fun not wrong while killing is? Shouldn't it be... committed exclusively for the bearing of children?

From:

It is also used as a form of expression of affection for another person. It is not solely for making children. Everyone involved agrees to the act.

What I see in killing for pleasure is only destruction.

From:

Isn't affection worth the same as repulsion? Both feelings are natural. Though you have a point with the agreement.

From:

Animals do not kill out of repulsion. They kill for food and for defense. That is a natural thing.

If they repulse something... that is something I do not know. I do not know how to speak to animals. -=wry smile=-

But I do know that humans act outside of what is natural on a regular basis.

From:

How can they act outside of what is natural when they are part of nature as much as any other creature?

Do you know how to speak to trees?

From:

Humans are the only creature that I know who will go out of their way to dominate everything they may perceive as their possession, or should be their possession. This city is a classic example of meddling in things that were never meant to be meddled with.

Trees? No. I know others who do.
