Starman, Well love is not dead yet. And love is not a perversion but it is certainly a result of the evolutionary process that has helped man survive. The human race is still largely primitive since it is still essentially controlled by high levels of emotionalism and sexual instincts. As we adapt and improve ourselves through science and technology I’m sure many will choose to be free from largely irrational emotions including the claustrophobic desires to seek love and sex. Human evolution is on the verge of moving from a random process to one of informed choices. Increases in intelligence will lead to a natural desire to be free of primordial evolutionary instincts and emotions. Increasing independence of the individual and decreased needs for relationships will gradually change the culture and nature of human society. Love is likely to have a limited future. IMHO of course.

"See? love as you know, sexual attraction, is a NEED. Love in the Essential meaning is Life Itself! You just proved that you have a NEED instead of Love.." Sex is love? You obviously haven't experienced either.
Nelson: I presume that that means: "Yes Xev, you are absolutly right! As usual, you have hit the nail on the head with your wisdom, intelligence and superior understanding!" Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Great is he who can vanquish need. Adam: You may be a bit of a moron in these matters, but I prefer your stupidity over my cynicism. Tyler: Ooooh! That's harsh. But yes, Nelson, sex and love are two different things. And Adam is right.
Tyler, Oh God... have you read the difference between "love" and "Love"...? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I've experienced and still experience one of them... Xev, No. It means that it's not worth commenting such thing... I have to agree with that... but even air we need, eh...?
Oh! So it is even better than that! It means: "WOW! Xev's posts are so utterly brilliant that I can't even comment on them, becuase I lack the knowledge of superlatives! Xev is truely the greatest mind ever to grace Sciforums, or really any internet forum. We should all send her all of our money, because she is so great and wonderfull and brilliant and witty!" Thanks Nelson! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Maybe you need air, but I do not.
Xev, ... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! So... stop breathing! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Love, Nelson
I'm not breathing now. I prefer not to breathe, but some people notice when I am not breathing. So generally, when I am at home, I don't breathe. When in public, I do.
I was a complete cold-blooded cynical bastard about these things. Maybe you could just take a chance on someone. Might be you'll get entirely screwed over as everyone else has been many times. But you might find a decent chap/girl/interdimensional-hellbeasty some time.
No, see, that's where we differ. I am "rather unlovable" as Raymond Shaw put it. But my real purpose of posting: I'm STILL not breathing. Dosen't anyone want to learn how?
Either Xev has lost the plot completely, or she's drunk, or she's under the influence of something not entirely legal, or I have completely missed something rather important (not to mention earth shaking). I am completely aware that Lovecraftian "Thingys" may not have been completely human, but setting aside the idea that you may have developed gills or similar Xev, please explain? And PLEASE dont start quoting from a James Redfield text... I dont think I could stand it.
OMG... I'm missing "Mars Attacks" on TV... Please excuse me... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
