You can't say something should be repressed because it's unfair and you're oppressing them somehow. People have zero self-control and give into their every delusion, and this is being reinforced by schools laden with the most left-wing educators and legislators who promote sexual liberty to the point of absurdity (a child being able to secretly have an abortion. They can choose to have surgery, yet are considered too immature to vote... because KIDS MAKE STUPID CHOICES BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID! The fact that a 14 year old gets pregnant is proof enough of that.)

As a scientist I have some ideas about synaptic pathways re-routed from the fear center to the pleasure center since those pathways lie adjacent to each other and crossing over would be quite simple from a small mistaken signaling event in development. But it's fantasy, I know it's fantasy, and I know it can never be anything but fantasy. I also know it would wierd most people out, probably 99.99% in fact.

They claim this brings them closer to their 'animal selves', yet they forget that furry involves 'anthropomorphism', animals with human characteristics. Such creatures have minds, and as such are capable of self control. Simply acting as animals does not make one furry. Many lunatics and psychopaths act in like manner, upon impulses they do not even try to control, and they are institutionalized and put in prison for their heinous acts of violence and murder.

I'll simply say this: I love a good battle, and it's always amusing to me to fight against the twits who go crazy with their lusts and delusions. Their thinking is so twisted and primitive, it's almost too easy to trap them in a logic cage. So I'll stay on and find those who, like me, know what we enjoy but also know enough to keep it under control.
