@discordcream It wouldn't make you worse. If you're hit the logic response is to hit back. Otherwise you'll end up a punching bag.

@nerthos I just don't believe that violence can be defeated with more violence. I'm a firm believer that karma will come back and kick them in the balls, as it already has a few times.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 07:53:05 UTC from web-
@discordcream Neither can you play the martyr and let yourself be dragged. You know full well how bad it feels to do that. I won't tell you to try to break karma's spine because you're not the kind of person who'd even try, but unless you stand up for yourself things will always be bad. People only stop when they realize their actions have consequences.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 07:56:45 UTC from web-
@nerthos Okay then, how would you recommend I confront their behavior over the years I've lived with them?
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:00:57 UTC from web-
@discordcream It depends on the details, but at the end of the day it mostly comes down to conviction and attitude. You've said yourself they react to hostility in a way that'd be, compared to your current situation, better for you, when mentioning your sister's interactions with them some while ago.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:05:50 UTC from web-
@nerthos I'm thinking I should bring up examples of their behavior and ask them to change and give me and each other more respect. If they don't want to fix their issues, then I'm finding somewhere to live that wants to treat each other fairly.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:12:31 UTC from web-
@discordcream That sounds like a fair compromise. They'll probably reply with denial and/or anger, though, so you have to go prepared for conflict and with the conviction not to step back, to show you're being completely serious and not just whinning.

@nerthos Considering some of them have already been confronted about their hostile behavior but deny having a problem, I suspect I should have my bags ready just in case.

@oracle I now desire to play matchmaker, but I only know BYU pegasisters who are older than you. Do you like older? Perhaps more importantly, could you ever curb your disdain for the best university in the state?

@vt3c I'll keep an eye out for one who doesn't mind drool. There's actually a bubbly younger pegasister who comes to mind. Hard to say whether you'd like her or not. She has asperger's and she's pretty shy about anything suggestive or profaine in the pony fandom, but I've noticed you're a clean type.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 07:29:02 UTC from web-
@vtec and by younger I mean she's 17

@oracle natural intimacy and the hormones that accompany it are super important for longevity though! I'm totally making this up, but I bet I'm right..

@tia Watch out for missionary syndrome and that's it. Other than that it all depends on the person.

@tia No. The missionary's disease is a real medical condition where the seminal conducts are damaged due to disuse, and eventually leads to serious health risks and in some cases requires castration. It's named that way because it was a common illness among the missionaries who took bows of celibacy in old times when modern medicine was still being developed and people were unaware of the potential consequences of neglecting a body part like that.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:04:04 UTC from web-
@nerthos That sounds like a very odd disease, and I wonder what age they were. Anyway I think we should use what we've been given frequently within marriage, so that's no problem.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:17:15 UTC from web-
@tia Any body part that falls into complete disuse eventually suffers from damage.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:18:42 UTC from web-
@nerthos Still an odd disease. I mean most of us don't use our reproductive systems as children, but they don't wither like if we didn't use our legs.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:21:10 UTC from web-
@tia they aren't fully developed at that age. Once they are, you KNOW those teens are using them in one way or another.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:22:53 UTC from web -
@tia In children it's still developing and use is counter-productive. I'm not talking about a thing that happens in a timespan of a couple of months though, but years.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:23:15 UTC from web-
@nerthos @rarity So basically the reproductive system is unique and shouldn't be prone to atrophy the same way that other body parts are. There are many humans that don't and didn't use them back in the day until they got married. Of course getting married young is very common in cultures where the use of those organs is discouraged outside marriage.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:26:03 UTC from web-
@tia You aren't getting the point, and I won't keep up a pointless discussion.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:28:08 UTC from web -
@tia I don't get why anyone tries to discuss anything with you. You are so stubborn and unbending to any idea that doesn't fit your worldview.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:28:11 UTC from web-
@rarity @nerthos As long as you're not saying we should all diddle ourselves, I don't see how we're disagreeing.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:31:08 UTC from web-
@tia At this point I couldn't care less because you won't get it.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:33:17 UTC from web -
@tia look, from a health standpoint, you SHOULD at least.. finish every now and again. let's go by your standards. What if I a guy is really unlucky and can't get married? is it just too bad, so sad, your nads are now mad and ruined?
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:33:58 UTC from web-
@rarity That rhyme! xD Basically, from a spiritual perspective, the last part of what you said is accurate in my mind. Also, what oracle pointed out is relevant. I think the body takes care of itself, but physical health can sometimes be worth sacrificing for higher spiritual ends I feel, though it shouldn't come to that really unless you're throwing yourself in from of a bus to save another person's life. That's why I think that "missionary disease" is odd. It does go counter to my view of how God takes care of us as long as we're obedient. Bad things happen to good people so
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:40:27 UTC from web-
@tia that's... pretty harsh in my eyes, but I guess our eyes don't see the world the same way.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:42:19 UTC from web-
@rarity I understand how it could come across that way. I meant to say that everything is or will be justified but pressed enter early. What that means is that everything, even the hardest trials will be compensated for generously, more than fairly, if we have faith.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:45:34 UTC from web-
@tia this isn't condescending or rude at all as I say this, or at least I don't intend it to be. But it really is convenient having all the answers handed to you, isn't it?
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:47:42 UTC from web-
@rarity It's not only convenient, but essential for the logical practice of my faith, which I seek always, though it's not easy.

@rarity I'm worried that even though you said you don't mean it condescendingly that you're being sarcastic because I know how you feel in general about my conservatism. In case you're being genuine right now though, I definitely don't know the answer to every question. It may look easy, but I've studied and prayed a while to learn what I have, and I'm nowhere near perfect.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:59:33 UTC from web-
@tia no, I'm being genuine. And the thing is, even though you may not have the answers now, if your faith is to be believed, they are actually at least THERE for you to find. That is much, much easier than for a heathen like me.

@tia you go your way and I'll go mine. Like Nerthos is saying, though, I do wish you would learn a bit more tact. I know you're supposed to preach as part of your faith, but time and place, you know? Be aware of the fact that most of the users here have already heard what you have to say.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 09:10:21 UTC from web-
@rarity If somepony asks me an honest question I feel obligated to give an answer. I have redirected conversations in the past to the church's website, but in this case it was something rather specific and pertained more to my personal understanding I thought.

@nerthos @rarity of course I'm not saying that atrophy isn't possible after a certain age and a very long time, but, having never heard of it before, I figure it must be rare and not something to be concerned about, especially when talking to a minor as I was.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:29:20 UTC from web-
@tia the way you said "the reproductive system is unique and shouldn't be prone to atrophy the way that other body parts are" led me to believe that you were dismissing the idea as either not possible or insignificant. My mistake if that's not what you meant, but that is how you came across.
Friday, 27-Dec-13 08:31:26 UTC from web-
@rarity Ah so the second part of my message (http://rainbowdash.net/notice/3209382) clarified what I believe then? I hope I'm not unnecessarily contrary at any time.

@oracle a lot of the justification happens in life, but some happens in the end too.. like the believers who were burned in Alma and the prophet said that it must be that way so that the wicked could be judged, yet the righteous were received to heaven.

@oracle Did I say something about you, or did you infer that I said something because you related that story somehow to yourself?
Friday, 27-Dec-13 09:04:40 UTC from web -
@oracle *shrugpony* We all die. This statement isn't offensive is it? Why should saying we'll all be judged be offensive? I haven't even said how we'll be judged. (Of course you know how, but why be mad about that? You're entitled not to believe it.)

@oracle Nono. I just don't know to what "that" is referring. About what are you asking the factuality? so to speak
Friday, 27-Dec-13 09:19:12 UTC from web -
@oracle It's a fact that I believe it and that the faith we're born into teaches it. It may be unprovable, but I don't see it as a fallacy.
