You will find lots of life, sex, love and ideas in this blog – (Ideas such as – there is no god, no purpose, no great scheme, no after-life – we need to look after our world – we have too many people – overpopulation is threatening our existence – Rock Music addresses social ills – inequality is at the heart of all the evils) – but I do not set out to be offensive, merely to argue my passionately held point of view.
This blog is a celebration of Life – not Death.
What is obscene is not sex.
Obscenity is:
– The destruction of the environment
– War
– The indoctrination of children
– Overpopulation
– Cynical exploitation
– Cruelty to animals and people
– Grotesque disparity of wealth
– Deforestation
– Fanaticism in politics and religion
– Pollution
These are the things I stand against.
These are the obscenities.
I want to address the world’s problems and look for a positive way forward.
I want a positive Zeitgeist!
Oh I get it – sex being one of the rewards on offer for tackling obscenity. Bring her on….
and I’d be quite happy with Gemma Chan (she of robotic allure in “Humans”, aka Anita, which I’m sure a chap with your attributes should be able to procure.
Righty, I’m In!
I’m not sure I see sex as a reward. I see sex as a natural element of relationship. I don’t think it is obscene. I think it is loving and normal. I believe our society is sexually repressed because we have come from the Abrahamic tradition which has a basis in misogyny and sexual repression. Other human societies have had a much more liberal approach to sex which I believe is healthier (I am aware that other cultures have had an even greater degree of repression of females and sex).
I think the perversions of sex such as paedophilia, exploitation and violence are obscene.
The real obscenities are not sexual they revolve around cruelty, violence, selfish greed, environmental catastrophe and indoctrination as far as I’m concerned.
I was joking…
Yes – of course. OK – that’s me – I’ve got my mind working on a serious groove. I’ve been dealing with some real rabid right-wingers. Sorry. Just put me right when I go wrong. I’m always doing it!
Opher, I’m a Glaswegian, nuff said, we invented sarcasm and as my old boss (a German, no less) once told me “if there was an Olympics for sarcasm, you’d get a fuckin’ Platinum!”
I’m not normally that blinkered.
