How do you prove that Stephanie hurts the Sunday show anyway? You could look at downloads, but then you'd have no control to compare it to.

And I also doubt that Mark would get rid of her in the case that she reduced listeners. He loves to giggle with her. Literally, they are always giggling. No, not laughing....giggling.

Anyways, Stephanie isn't unbearable. She is just very interested in certain issues and those issues seem to pop up no matter what they're talking about. I probably think they pop up more than they really do because I disagree with her. I don't see the world the way she does and thats ok.

Hey, at least she didn't say, "If a person walks into a gas station and gets shot in the head, they really wanted to get shot because the universe always gives you what you want. The universe set up a willing murderer and willing victim." Yes, I SWEAR TO GOD that a host actually said that on FTL. And it wasn't Stephanie.

Please, Dale, don't make me find the episode (02/06/2009) and write it up word for word. (I only know of this because I had some mindless tasks to do a few days ago and randomly downloaded some old shows....they were out there.)

I'm pretty sure you called in that night (it may have been the day before but it was about the same subject).

Mark kept asking you, "Would you rather believe that you have no control over anything or that you have absolute control over everything? Which is more empowering?" You stood your ground and refused to answer his false dichotomy.

I'm not confident the local movement has quite fully recovered from this lapse into magical thinking.

Damn, that sucks.

So some of the guys and gals still hold similar views?

To me, one cannot hold the view I outlined earlier and advocate the NAP. Its not that the logic itself is aggressive, its that there can be no aggression if everyone is always a willing participant in what happens. You know what I mean? The NAP would be meaningless. If all murder victims really wanted to be shot then they're not victims at all. They're willing participants. Perhaps, there is more to this type of reasoning that I don't understand, but from what was said on that show, one must conclude that "the universe" doesn't permit aggression.

What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?

Yes, I believe you've successfully pointed out a serious fallacy in this line of thinking, aside from the more overtly ridiculous magical thinking aspect of it.

That said, I think there's an element of truth to it if you remove the magical thinking part and use a little discretion in how sweepingly you apply it. I do think taking responsibility for your life can empower you greatly and that, in the big scheme of things, your own choices play a tremendous role in what happens to you. Particularly, if something happens to you frequently, YOUR choices probably play a big role in that. For instance, if you see a certain person always surrounded by drama, that person is probably the source of the drama. If a woman is frequently being abused by men, then that woman is probably not partaking fully of her freedom to associate in a responsible manner (i.e. attracted to abusive partners and doesn't leave them early on when she sees warning signs before getting too entangled). If you're getting mugged frequently, maybe you're not taking sufficient precautions, maybe you're demonstrating behavior like nervousness and fearfulness that makes you an appealing target to muggers, etc.

On the other hand, if you appear to be "lucky", you could be someone with a positive attitude who is open to exploring all kinds of different choices that are outside of the rut that so many people find themselves in. Your positive attitude can expand your comfort zone. This might mean that your path crosses with all sorts of opportunities that other people miss and you're receptive to them when they occur. Things like that are totally rational explanations for how your attitude can dramatically influence your life without calling for magical thinking.

In this episode of Porc Therapy Stephanie and Dale discuss BDSM in a extra end thingy. I think they come off as collectivising and judgmental.
My take:
1. A perceived kink doesn't indicate childhood trauma every time.
2. It doesn't indicate some deep, need-to-be-solved problem either.

Pic related. NSFW

That is more a Kinsey scale debate isn't it? From how I gather from gays and lesbians, the most tolerent of different kinks are straight swingers. At least they seemed the least judgmental that I have talked to. I kind of liked that photo, showed a interesting dynamic between people.

I don't know. A recent comment about the show mentioned that for some people, BDSM is a stronger "orientation" than their sexual orientation. In other words, it's more important to some subs that their partner be a dom than it is they match their gender preference, or vice versa. When I saw that pic, it brought that to mind.

Lotta gender-bending going on in that pic. I figure that guy might be bi. He might be str8 and likes getting dominated, so it turns him on that the woman is making him do something that is otherwise not erotic or even gross for him. He might be gay and likes sucking the dick but is turned on by the domination even though it's coming from a woman.

I imagine they were all payed. As I understand it, a lot of porn actors are the opposite of what they play. They can act better because the whole thing has to be acting. As for the dominance thing, I have no idea how it works. My brain is quite incapable of combining sex and any kind of boss/lackey deal.
