it seems like we don't really teach children that they have firm boundaries. like, if a kid says "don't touch me" we ignore them and touch them anyway (even especially), which I should hope we wouldn't do for an adult. seems like a bad plan. thoughts?

rape

is a very serious issue, and can certainly play a role in children's development of boundaries.

Personally I don't touch kids much at all, OP.

The idea of “boundaries” or “personal space” is at the very heart of corrosive, isolating liberalism. It’s nothing more than a natural extension of the philosophy that places private property at the heart of all things.

imo the decline began when the first caveman and cavewoman installed a hide curtain to partition the cave so they could copulate without being stared at

seriously wtf is this thread. cycloneboy is rly weird

what??
#17
what a shocker, EO uses his adult privilege to belittle minors and wears his blinders to the issues affecting them.
#18
if a child in a schooling environment (for example) says "don't touch me," the adult will often touch them anyway, even specifically due to the statement (to try to "calm them down" or whatever). jeet christ, can you believe this guy?
#19
ummm
#20
the solution is not to treat children more liberally, it is to treat adults more like children with a brutal socialist dictatorship. this is pretty obvious though so you must be trolling again.
#21
cycloneboy is like 17 now i think. is he a child or an adult?
#22
whats the difference between a weird ass kid a weird ass young man and a weird ass adult man??

i am legally a minor and i'd appreciate you not trying to police my age identity when you are a member of the Oppressor Class (adults)

Yesterday at sushi i was eating my "udon" and talking 2 someone and not paying attention and a 3 y/o ish girl walked up next to me and was leaning against my leg and i didnt notice then i felt something and saw her head out of the corner of my eye and it startled the crap out of me, actually. I wish someone had taught that girl "boundaries" so that i wouldn't have been scared by a 3 y/o girl in front of people, making me look like a retarded pussy. Thanks for bringing up the topic and looking forwards to what the iconoclasts here at the double z zone come up with.

Assuming I understood you correctly, this girl committed battery, and you may have a legal case against her if you can bring it to civil court. I'd recommend speaking to an attorney about putting together a lawsuit.

ahahahahh remember the posts i made about cycloneboy being fuckin weird
#28
Best of luck, Keven. These people need to learn that personal space is personal space and nonconsensual touch is nonconsensual touch, regardless of age or gender.

or is that like a quote from SA history

Remember the posts you made that were nothing but rape apologism? I'd rather be "weird" than a rape apologist.

Being against rape is not a "bad opinion."

Anyway to get this back on track, i know this critique of mine seemed glib but what is "personal space" if not a supremely ideological liberal concept?

You guys love talking about the masses and the workers and will of the people and such: that seems pretty incongruous with this idea of giving someone "space" because they deserve it as an "individual" or whatever.

Nonconsensual touching is a violation of one of the fundamental liberties of human beings, and I'm sick and tired of your battery apologia.
