Exactly. You take a life, then you just give yourself some easy grace and suddenly everything is fine. Honestly, you spiritualists seem to revolve entirely around "me, me, and more me." And then you have the nerve to claim that the "self" doesn't even exist. I wonder (rhetorically), can you actually find it in yourselves to forgive your own stupidity?
First, you have to "find" yourself—to become a whole person and actually feel comfortable in your own skin. If you go looking for "completeness" in another person, you’re just chasing a ghost. You'll never find it there.
I went ahead and started this new thread before I realized there was a post stating I needed to clear things with an admin first. My apologies. So, which administrator handles these matters, and what’s the best way to coordinate—should I send a private message, or can we settle this right here on the forum? Thanks.
When I said "admin," I was actually referring to the person in charge—so, you mean the moderator? I'm still pretty new here and haven't quite wrapped my head around all the terminology yet. Glad I finally figured it out, thanks.
And as for this trolling accusation—where exactly was I trolling? I’ll admit, I was posting in the off-topic section, which is why I started a dedicated thread. Every single person who actually achieved something was posting in off-topic at the time. Yet, instead of having their posts removed, they just locked the entire thread.
I honestly don't see what the big deal is regarding my previous comments. My stance remains: removing healthy organs from perfectly healthy animals under the guise of preventing potential future diseases—without a shred of actual evidence—is nothing short of nonsensical and insane. I am entitled to my opinion, whether certain people find it palatable or not. Furthermore, I fail to see why anyone would take offense at the highlighted portion. Secondly, the fact that people on this forum are pushing castration has absolutely nothing to do with the topic I initiated. I was simply seeking an explanation regarding the specific health benefits of the procedure. I made it quite clear that I wasn't interested in those dismissive "answers" suggesting we should just cut them out now to prevent hypothetical tumors later. Naturally, every single "response" followed that exact same line of thought. Not one person actually answered the question I posed. It is the exact same pattern here. I pose a straightforward question to the moderators, and instead of receiving a direct answer from administration, I get bombarded with all sorts of "input" from everyone except the actual admins. The fact that certain threads are perpetually shut down only serves to highlight how little this forum respects diverse perspectives. If this is truly how things operate, then perhaps "DogmaUSA.com" would have been a much more fitting name for this site.
You're right on the timing aspect. My issue—and this goes back to that controversial locked thread—is that everyone is just shouting into the void. People are posting whatever random nonsense comes to mind, yet nobody actually addresses the question at hand. That’s the core of the problem. But, as you pointed out, it's still too early to assume we won't get an answer eventually.
There’s no point trying to argue in the thread linked above, because every time I attempted to engage there, my posts were immediately deleted. I don't know how many times I have already stated this, but I am not interested in hearing any arguments for or against the issue. That is precisely why I started this specific thread, where I posed one very straightforward question: what are the health benefits of castration? Instead of receiving an answer to that question, the entire topic was simply locked. And, naturally, when I asked here why the thread was shut down, I was met with total silence.
Fine, I misspoke. What I meant to type was "castration - is it a dogma?". I’m not even questioning the topic in that link; I’m talking about the thread I started titled "castration - health benefit." Why on earth was it locked?
So, I opened a thread titled "castration - health benefit" where I posed a very straightforward question, fully expecting some equally straightforward answers. Instead, the whole topic gets locked. I’m curious—which specific rules did I supposedly violate? Thanks.
