Questions of Honesty, Suicide, Spanking, and Dominance

 

“Being spanked is the ultimate obedience, the final pleasure. It is life on the highwire.”

-- Chloe Thurlow

Would you rather care for an aggressive pit bull or have a roommate who’s constantly stealing from you?

An aggressive pit bull. Either way, they’re going to get hurt.

Why is it when a question is asked about a celebrity, athlete, politicians… etc., and this answer usually responds with "this person" and then proceeds with something pretty negative? Do you think it could be answered in a different way?

Celebrities and politicians usually talk out of their asses. Celebrities talk about things they have no real knowledge of, and politicians are just full of shit. Athletes, on the other hand, I could probably find something positive to comment on as long as their name isn’t Kapernick, who is more of a celebrity than a real athlete.

Which celebrity is not as nice as they seem?

Alec Baldwin.

What celebrity would you refuse a hug from?

Alec Baldwin.

Would you rather: have everything you eat taste like soap for the rest of your life or to be loved and respected by everyone in the community?

I really don’t care if I’m loved and respected, but I’ll be damned if I’ll be tasting soap for the rest of my life. I’ll just have to tough out the love and respect.

“Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.”

-- Leo Tolstoy

How do I tell the difference between wanting someone back or just missing the time spent with them?

What’re your thoughts about spending the rest of your life with them? No? Then, let them go and get on with your life.

Random ironic revenge, were I being a jerk & you had the random power to transform me into a doormat, what would you do? What would my time with you be like? How long would I be transformed? Is this permanent or just a temporary annoyance for me?

I would advise you of my intent. You, of course, wouldn’t believe me, so I would change you into the doormat for just a moment. If this didn’t cure you of being a jerk, I’d simply send you on your way with the knowledge that, out there somewhere, someone else wouldn’t be as kind.

Is freedom achievable, or is it a never-ending, moving goal post?

Freedom is achievable, it is a choice you must make for your life, but “reality” is a never-ending, moving goal post.

Why does my mom treat me so harshly when I've not done anything wrong? Is it me?

How you treat someone is a choice you make. They may “deserve” harsh treatment, but you have the choice of whether to treat them harshly or find a kinder, gentler way of dealing with the issue.

Parents have a habit of blaming the child, or others, for how mad they are. How mad they are is a choice they made to be that mad. I tell my girlfriend when she’s on the verge of pissing me off. We talk about it or take a break. Nothing is so important that you have to choose to get upset. It really accomplishes less than just talking it out.

Everything we do in life is about making a choice or decision for ourselves. If you blame someone else for how you feel, maybe you shouldn't have let them push your buttons in the first place, or even better, maybe you shouldn’t have “buttons” for them to push. 

People can be the impetus for us getting mad, but it is our choice to do so.

I think I deserve a spanking for stealing but mom doesn't know. Should I tell her and ask for a spanking?

If you really desire a good pant down spanking, there’s more going on here than just “discipline” for stealing.

“Of course it hurts, it’s a spanking. How else would it work?”

-- Breanna Hayse

What could be the possible reason why most relationships are built on sex?

Most of us have really forgotten what love is all about if we ever knew in the first place. “Hey, that was the best sex ever! Want to get married?” What about communication, friendship, commitment, you know, love and such? If you don’t have any of this, and more, please don’t have children. You aren’t ready for children. You haven’t grown up yet.

Have you ever been having sex and your partner called you by someone else’s name?

No, and I was always surprised by that, considering the women I chose to be with.

What is something that people should never call you?

Calling me anything negative would not mean much to me. It says so much more about them than it would anything I really care about. I have nothing to prove to anybody. Those who know me, know this. For those that don’t know the humble man that is me, well, it is a loss they can’t appreciate.

I made my girlfriend pregnant, but she wants to talk to me and I am scared. What should I do?

Talk to her. You should have been this scared when you were wielding that wood between your legs like a Viking with a sword. Now, you have some responsibility to come to terms with. Time to man up.

If I commit suicide what will my experience be immediately after I die?

You'll probably find yourself right back here because you refused to learn the lessons put before you. Or, since you chose not to live, there will be nothing, ever, for you. Or, you might come back as dingleberry on a yak’s ass because you couldn’t handle being a “higher” life form.

The point of suicide, if you can find a point, is the shock and realization that it solves absolutely nothing. It may show some people that they were right about you. Some others may not care one way or another, and others may shed a tear, but, for you, not much but pain and disappointment.

Better you should make another choice.

“There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors.”

-- J. Michael Straczynski

What do you do when you’re deep in love with someone?

I tell them and hope they feel the same way.

How do you leave a tip?

The rule of thumb is 15% to 20% of the bill. If it’s “happy hour” I still leave a tip commensurate with what the bill would be normally.

How do I regain my confidence about how I look when I’ve been called ugly so many times?

Yes, fine, you’re ugly, but, are you great in bed? I’ve known men and women who were fat, ugly, or both. They were beautiful on the inside, however, and that beauty oozed out of their pores. They were, indeed, the life of most parties. Most of them got laid more than I did, which made me feel a bit self-conscious.

So, again I have to ask, are you great in bed? Are you outgoing and the life of the party? Any or all of this builds confidence. The biggest thing you need to do is stop listening to your detractors and live life to the fullest. Dress well, groom well, act well, and make mass friends.

When should you not leave a tip?

When the “service” they are supposed to render absolutely sucks.

What should I do if my wife doesn't allow me to have sex?

Does she wear latex or leather and carry a riding crop? If she isn’t a dominant woman you absolutely worship, dump her, and find one you can.

“One of the easiest ways to dominate a man is to demand something he cannot supply.”

-- Gene Wolfe

What describes you best between being honest and being polite?

Honest. I was brought up with Mississippi values, so I am polite. But being polite runs contrary to my lack of patience, which I constantly work on. If you cut me off at a light, I’ll either say, “God bless your little heart” or I’ll give you the finger followed by some colorful language that I hope you’ll appreciate. I am a work in progress where politeness is concerned.

So, what's the excuse not to call mom?

She lives next door.

Why do some doctors have good bedside manners, but others do not?

I think some doctors feel their degree places them above to need to exercise good bedside manners or any manners. I sat across from a doctor at a dinner and he actually licked his plate when he finished. He picked it up, put it to his face, a licked it clean. I sat there with my mouth agape. Not my finest moment, either, but I was stunned.

Author's comment:  Something happened to me, I can't explain it, it was because of my mental illness. But the anesthesiologist who had put me to sleep for the procedure complained to me when I woke up from surgery. He said, “That was a very dumb thing to do, wasn't it?” He told me that I was ”wasting valuable resources.” I felt even worse after that. 

My reply:  Well, he was a special kind of an asshole. I ignore special assholes. I have my hands full enough with the general assholes.

What is the strangest place where you have had sex?

Under the bleachers at the baseball field.  It was late and we were young. 

Recently my girlfriend broke up with me so I decided to be honest with her and tell her I had cheated on her she started crying and seemed devastated why is she having this reaction if she had already decided to end our relationship?

Maybe because it never occurred to her to cheat on you. She was going to take the high road and break up with you first.  Maybe she was having second thoughts about you. Seems that she was right. What you did was just outright heartless. And, you decided to be honest? Well, that was big of you.

Oh, and my girlfriend adds, “Talk about burning your bridges.”

“You know as well as I that you're going to break at least one heart before this is over, and I want nothing more to do with you.”

-- Marissa Meyer

Editor's Note

(Re: disclaimer cum "get out of jail free" card)

Before you go getting your panties in a bunch, it is essential to understand that this is just an opinion site and, as such, can be subjected to scrutiny by anyone with a differing opinion. It doesn't make either opinion any more right or wrong than the other. An opinion, presented in this context, is a way of inciting others to think and, hopefully, to form opinions of their own, if they haven't already done so. This is also why, occasionally, I will present an "opinion" just to stir an emotional pot. Where it may sound like I agree with the statements made, I'm more interested in getting others to consider an alternate viewpoint. 

It is my fervent hope that we keep open and active minds when reading opinions and while engaging in peaceful and constructive discussion, in an arena of mutual respect, concerning those opinions put forth. After over twenty years with military intelligence, I have come to believe engaging each other in this manner and in this arena is the way we will learn tolerance and respect for differing beliefs, cultures, and viewpoints.

We all fall from grace, some more often than others; it is part of being human. God's test for us is what we learn from the experience, and what we do afterward.
