Quintessence;

The purest or most typical form of something. So the quintessence of (let's just say) sex would be for human reproduction, so I don't know why all you peeps are so hyped up about sex and all, when it's just an act of reproducing.

"You got a socket? C'mon, I got a plug, and there're humans to be made."

So now we move on to ubiquitous. Omnipresent; seeming to be everywhere at the same time. Seriously, this word looks friggin' cool, but only if you know how to use it (;
So let's say that oppression is ubiquitous, just that the oppressed don;t know that they're BEING oppressed and the oppressors don't even know that they ARE oppressing. Interesting, no?

"Yeah yeah I know, porn IS ubiquitous. And that sucks, period."

Now I take issue with that. You're being too fixated on the original purpose of something. True, sex is reproductive in purpose, but have you thought about why condoms can sell? Because sex, despite its main purpose, is also very enjoyable by many accounts. Therefore it also has a role in entertainment and relationship-building.

Let's say that one day they manage to make potato chips so healthy and tasty that many people eat them, primarily for their taste, but on a secondary level also to stay healthy. What are you going to do, tell everyone it's no big deal because being a healthy snack is not the quintessence of potato chips?

ooh... Aiigh you got me there. Well, if it becomes the MAIN purpose of the potato chips then the quintessence of potato chips would be a healthy snack... I'm just saying about all those IMMATURE peeps (none of us at the pebblefort are, I hope)who talk about sex like kids... sorry if i didn't flesh this out exactly...

anyway, sex IS for reproduction, the fun is a + (a good plus) just like your example potato chips ARE tasty, heathiness, then would be a +.

I don't take issue with that the essence of sex is reproduction, but Lime seemed to be saying that the essence was all that mattered.

no it's the fact that people start forgetting what sex is REALLY SUPPOSED to be about... Like as if sex is just some tool for pleasure in which there are no consqequences. Ooh now I sound like some damn Imam or smth.

TOFU said...

Lime has a point.

If you're saying that using or doing something that is unnatural or not originally intended is invariably negative... then I don't see a point, I see a childish stereotype.

No offense as usual, manos. It's good for us to do these serious buttfights once in a while.
