I Need To Express Myself

WE ALL NEED TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS OURSELVES...

we all need to do this for different reasons. The reason this site is so good is that you can express anything you like or may not like here.
Now for everyone to do this we have to have some understanding too I think.
Some people may live a different lifestyle to your own, or their likes may seem peculiar to you or even unhealthy but at the end of the day that's their preferences, you don't have to be accepting of their lifestyle choice to allow them the freedom to express themselves.
It's good that SW allow the group's for these people to do that in and providing they stick to the TOS guidelines I think it's great they have somewhere to go.
They are not aliens or perverts, they just have different likes to other people and there's nothing wrong with that. Their not hurting you if their in their required group and if you don't like that preference don't go into the group. We shouldn't try and rid the site of certain subjects just because we don't understand them, you don't have to understand it but it would be nice if you did understand that they also need to express themselves here just as much we do.
These are just my thoughts on this subject..

I agree as long as their posts are not promoting damage or hurt to other people who have not consented. Living life differently adds to the fabric of the world. Using their preferences as a justification to physically or emotionally damage someone else is just plain wrong.

Mem if a say 50 yr old came on here and wrote a story about what he likes to do to a 6yr old, that is going against the law you can't promote behaviour like that by accepting it, there has to be boundaries in everything don't take this to extremes..

I think all sunrise is guilty of here is not expressing herself clearly enough by going into detail and giving examples..so her comment is open to be misconstrued..

Prim thank you for your support. You do indeed know me and fully understood my comment to you in your post.

Memetic
You need to remember we all come from different places so have different laws and brought up in different communities with different things which are socially acceptable. I did not ask for censorship. I asked for basic human respect not to hurt or damage anyone or talk about doing so in the forums.
I was deliberately vague and general so people could apply their own codes to my comments. It is for them question their own boundaries not me to enforce mine.
I do t think I'm being revolutionary by suggesting Basic human nature states that we are kind and respectful to one another and that Minors are protected.
Memetic if you want specific examples then PERSONALLY I do not agree with groups who promote spanking children. In my country it is illegal but I respect in other countries it is not but that does not change my view. To me it involves violence on a minor which I do not agree with. However If adults want to spank each other then fine.
I've also experienced n spoken to people on ep n (I presume sw has the same problems based on how quickly I'm asked for picture or intimate questions) who have been bullied via private message for intimate pictures etc. I PERSONALLY do not agree with that. If people want to exchange pictures fine but do I do not agree with emotionally pressuring someone.
Thankfully I've not seen it here yet but there was a group in ep where sociopaths would share their stories on how they were manipulating n hurting their latest victim. I PERSONALLY don't agree with that behaviour or a forum that helps the sociopath develop.
There's are many more examples. I previously tried not to give specific examples so I didn't target any one community.
I'm pleased that sw has some measures to react to these issues, however my point still remains that I agree with prim, here provides a place for like minded people to share n support each other. Personally I have learnt alot n had some very enlightening conversations about how they live their life compared to mine. But the way you live your real life n on here should not promote or cause physical or emotional damage to someone someone.

Memetic thank you for scrutinising my comment so intensely. I felt your responses turned in to quite a public attack without the consideration of asking me to explain further or private messaging me to question my point.

You obviously don't think I have the right to express my opinion ?!?

I wish you a wonderful day x

Oh so well said, thank you for sharing.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
My pleasure, thank you for reading..
[c=#BF0080]We should rid the ones who talk about children.. basically the pedos.
Here's the thing though.. unlike ep these subjects show up in my newsfeed even though I'm not in the group. So then I have to put up with the spankers and after about the 10th story I get annoyed.. and when I'm annoyed my fingers can't help but to leave sarcastic comments. [/c]
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Agree on the paedos obviously, I fortunately am very tolerant of others and have this ability to just laugh it off, for those of you that can't I understand it must be difficult so if your only way is to vent with sarcasm that's better than trying to drive them off the site.

Well said! I might be narrow or immature sometimes but I like people to be natural and relaxed here because we have no chance to be so brutally honest about ourselves in real life. Thanks for sharing.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Thanks for that honesty it was very refreshing..
updown2020 · 61-69, M
Very well said and we should not judge until we walk a mile there their shoes because some times people are the way they are because of the miles of walking they have done,
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Also very true..
Memetic · 56-60, F
Perfectly said. If i had a dime for every time some "holier than though" user tells me what i should and shouldnt post, I'd be rich 😀
Primnproper · 56-60, F
You and me both hunni...😄
Memetic · 56-60, F
The people with sticks up their butts might love "relate to that"
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Hahaha...Yes very much so.

The world is never going to be a nice and accepting place, so I think it's a better skill to learn how to properly handle people who are negative, rude, disrespectful, etc. But that's probably just as wistful as encouraging people to be more accepting. There's always going to be the mean, and the people who can't deal with that.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Very true there will be but it doesn't hurt now and then to give them a thought and another perspective to look from..thank you for your thoughts..
SW-User
Yeah, it doesn't hurt most of us. I just wish it did more than it does.
Kimnray · 46-50, C
Nice post, love your attitude❤️✌️
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Thank you for taking the time to read, much appreciated.

I agree wholeheartedly. People should be able to express themselves as they wish providing they are not harming anyone in the process. After all if we find a topic distasteful we only have to avoid reading any contributions made to that topic. 'Live and let live' applies here. Good post!

Thanks for reading..

Have to agree with what you say, but I have a frustration with this site:
That is that my News Feed defaults to a global view. Rather than seeing people and groups that I am interested in I get everything. That includes postings about things that I would prefer not to see. Most of these things are fine among consenting adults but I would rather not be faced with such people and/or details. So I block them - not because I don't like them, I just can't be bothered with their hobbies. I'm quickly running short of "Blocks".

@JaggedLittlePill: True, but mine seems to default back to the global view
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
Oh, i see what you are saying...maybe that will be fixed in time.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
As jagged said check out the filters, I suppose I've sort of become desensitized to it..
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
Well said, Prim. I couldn't agree more.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Thank you and I'm always glad to hear that people get it..
munster49 · 70-79, M

Primnproper · 56-60, F
Thank you for reading.
munster49 · 70-79, M
it was a pleasure ..very good writing ..bless you x
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
I am sorry I missed this yesterday...this is just one of the many reasons I like you! Thank you for expressing this in such a manner!
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Thank you you're very kind.
