  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

I don't consider myself MGTOW (not a fan of the term..) but it's nice to find a group of men who share many similar ideas that have been brewing around me these last few years. They're big on how women do not age as well as men on average, they're against marriage. And they applaud men like Leonardo Di Caprio who are rich and well off and dates models in their early 20s and dumps them every few years for a younger model.

I read a lot of literature on human biology and evolutionary psychology. I know well how shallow human beings are.

The Bible also has plenty to say about human nature. That's one major reason why I find the Bible so believable. Even at a young age I understood that I was living in a very narcissistic generation of a species that permanently destroys things for temporary benefit.

Being an outsider can bring some special insights on the world.

And women are becoming more and more shallow every generation.

I find people in general to be shallow, even more so in recent modern generations. People have always been attracted to wealth and power. I'm 5'11 and while it's nothing special today, if I were to go back thousands of years, I could be considered a demi-god in some cultures for having such a monstrous height. It's all comparison that people say we shouldn't be doing but keep promoting it anyways.

As Patton said, "America loves a winner. It will not tolerate a loser". That's how the human race is. It's explained by both science and theology quite perfectly.

Oh, certainly. Especially the old testament. Where there are actually verses where men praise women's beauty, specifically mentioning youthfulness. The behavior of people in the Bible match what many evolutionary psychologists say people truly want. It's a record of man that often isn't SJW friendly. Yet raw and real.

Yeah. Which is why I as a short man can never hope to find true equality from modern feminism. I'll always be despised. The only way to make things is equal is making sure both gender's faults are equally despised.

If you think being short is the worst thing, try having a mental disability. If I was born at the wrong place at the wrong time, I would have either been put in a mental asylum and forgotten about by my family or I would have been outright killed. Being short may be a handicap in social and romantic situations but with certain disabilities your life ends before it even begins.

With Asperger's, the more I try to understand this world, the less sense it makes. I'm just thankful I grew up in Canada during a time where Asperger's was becoming recognized instead of being born in Nazi Germany in the 1930's. In that respect, life was unfair in my favor because thousands of people with disabilities were murdered while my level of persecution was bullying at school and work.

Yeah, I'm sure you have a lot to be angry about. Not saying I have it the worst in the world. But still I do have reasons to want to avoid the hypocritical modern feminist ideals being pushed on us men in this decade.

Hmm.. I thought the Nazis were nice to people with aspergers? Funnily enough I just watched a Youtube video from Varg Vikernes saying people with high level autism are actually superior. Then again he might just be saying that because his wife has it. Lol.

Nooooo, the Nazis demanded perfection from people and did not tolerate weakness in the slightest, even social outcasts were targets for their genocide. Best case scenario for us would have been sterilization if we proved to be useful.

Wasn't the man who came up with the diagnosis a German during the Nazi period? I remember him writing that people with Aspergers were not less, but actually useful members of society who shouldn't be weeded out. Then again maybe Hitler didn't listen to his advice.

It is going to be interesting to see the long term ramifications modern feminism will have on men and women in the decades to come. This certainly isn't going to be something men will simply forget.

I know in Japan the gender relations are quite poor, with many Japanese men waking up and realizing that marrying a woman isn't worth it.

Dr. Hans Asperger was Austrian (Austria was occupied by Germany at the time) and his work fell into obscurity until recent decades. He argued that these specific children he was studying were not classically autistic but it was something different. He called us, "Little Professors" because of our expansive knowledge of things that interest us but also called us "Autistic Psychopaths" because of our perceived lack of empathy.

I've always felt like a bit of an oddball as Christian in that I don't have a low view of humanity. Sure, we have a tainted nature from original sin and all of that, but I've always just naturally assumed that most people are good until proven otherwise, and that it's the minority of people who are inherently bad people.

My view of humanity stems from how I was treated all my life rather than the Bible telling me so. I did not choose to become and outsider by being a Christian but was forced to become an outsider due to my neurology. The Bible has given me an explanation on why humanity treats me with contempt instead of compassion.

I have shocked many doctors by being able to display empathy to the point where I do solitary fundraising to help people worse off than I am. I just find it incredible that neurotypicals cannot show the same level of compassion of a person medical books say is not capable of empathy.

Weird, as an atheist I love what the Bible has to say about human nature.

When I lost my faith, I told myself that at least my faith taught me how horrible other human beings are.

Christianity has greatly influenced my way of thinking. Even now as an atheist. Growing up as a child and being exposed to the violence and utter ruthless honesty about human beings made me grow up pretty fast psychologically/mentally.

That's understandable. I'm not really sure where my view comes from, I think it's because I tend to naturally be an idealist. One of the most unsettling books I've ever read on the matter is called The Lucifer Effect, by Phillip Zimbardo, the psychologist behind the infamous "Stanford Prison Experiment". The book goes into more detail about that than I ever knew, as well as the Milgram studies about obedience, and other real life situations and experiments as well. The theory proposed by the book isn't that "it's a few bad apples", but that in the right circumstances almost everyone has the capacity to commit evil.

I think it's healthy to try and see the most good in people as possible, to seek out the good.

I was surrounded by psychopaths and the worst society has to offer and even then there was still good to be found in them.

A part of loving others is attempting to see the good in them in my opinion. Not always easy when their causing you harm of course, I know I've been there and retaliated in hatred back.

Wrestlemania has been excellent tonight. Plenty of surprises and great matches. Sadly, this might be the Undertaker's last match, who is really the only reason why I got into wrestling as a kid/teen. I've followed him all these years and I'll probably be done when he retires.

The best ever.

The theory proposed by the book isn't that "it's a few bad apples", but that in the right circumstances almost everyone has the capacity to commit evil.

Precisely. If it's one thing the internet has proven to me, it's that if people believe that they can honestly get away with it, they will do it. Light Yagami from Death Note once said that we humans will always try to retain our appearance in public but if we can remain anonymous, then we can and will say and do things that people would not find politically correct.

I was once an idealist too. That has been slowly chipping away the more people took advantage of my kindness. My mother and I often debate on Nature vs Nurture. She thinks every person is born with a certain personality while I argue that how one is raised has the dominant influence. If you look at the childhoods of most serial killers, you'll find that they were abused to the point where they were no longer capable of empathy. They had no respect for other's lives because no one respected theirs.

While I do think humans are naturally evil, we have to raise them to be good through bribery or discipline. If we fail to do that, human nature kicks in and we have problems. Narcissism is part of normal childhood development because they focus on their own wants before anyone else's needs and they have to be taught that they can't think like that. I was raised old school by my mother in spite of my autistic traits and people tell her that I'm a fine young man. Not perfect, but better than most in my generation who got to do many things I was not allowed to do.

Seems like a viewpoint that makes one vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

I lack a belief in a God, but if there is one he hardwired me to be able to adapt to this cruel and cold world. So I'll use these psychological gifts given to me. Even if feminists and sjws abhor me for it.
