The many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XVIII

[Dachs]

He was saying that yes, Chucks are trendy sheeple shoes that masquerade as sneakers, and he's confused that you think that they're not. Or at least they used to be. Now they're outdated sheeple shoes that blah blah blah.

Bottles of oven cleaner aren't too spendy, should be less than 10 bucks. It's evil evil stuff, make sure you have good ventilation and rubber gloves. Don't hurt yourself. Lots of scrubbing ahead. Not fun.

Are sex lovers (people who enjoy sex) persecuted? Are sex (again, people who enjoy sex) lovers oppressed?

 

[_random_]

What kind of sex are we talking here? As a general rule, people are expected to enjoy sex.

Sex with minors, animals, against one's will, etc.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

EDIT: I mean to say sex in general, not the nasty stuff.

 

[madviking]

uhhh why would it be?

Don't some religious texts claim sex is evil or sinning or something?

People are almost universally expected to enjoy sexual activity with consenting adults of the opposite sex, and in fact may undergo varying degrees of persecution or oppression for deviating from this standard depending on the society in question.

Not to my awareness. Maintaining a religion based on such texts would be difficult, since religion is typically spread primarily from parents to children. (See: The Shakers) A few theologians have claimed that when sex happens you really oughtn't enjoy it, but their ideas have never been popular enough for any society to enforce them for some reason.

religion and law have no direct correlation. i though this was obvious.

I feel oppressed by the history of hot chicks unwilling to engage is such activity with me, so yes.

Ah, makes sense then. Thanks.

I see your point. Again, thanks.

Dude, when I lived in Missouri, I knew what Chucks were, and I was in freakin Fort Leonard Wood, on the edge of the Ozarks. You got no excuse.

To be fair, pretty much nobody calls them that in some places. "Converses" is a lot more popular here.

 

[salty mud]

Converses? Good God no man, Converse is the singular and plural.

 

[Mango Elephant]

I've never heard them called chucks before. Converse is more popular terminology.

You may be correct, but ParadigmShifter's math thread taught me never to trust an Englishman on matters of pluralization.
