== Fear ==
:The opposite of love is not hate. Its indifference.
Laws exist to increase your freedom. Not decrease it.
Should people be free to enslave other people? Of course not!
Having a law against slavery increases peoples freedom.
Want to be free of murderers, thieves, and rapists? Then you need laws.
Yet many people have an irrational fear of authority.
Seeing something that you have an irrational fear of causes alarms to go off inside your head.
The alarms going off inside your head causes you pain.
The pain causes you to have an irrational fear of the thing that caused the alarms which caused the pain.
Its a never ending vicious circle.
Therefore you can break out of that vicious circle by turning those alarms off.
No alarms = no pain
No pain = no fear
No fear = no alarms 
Another way of saying this is that if you believe that it will hurt then it does hurt.
But if you believe that it wont hurt then it doesnt hurt. 
(You only need to suspend your disbelief for a few seconds)
If you can turn the alarms off and thereby stop the pain then why would you not do so?
Fear is like dirt. Its washes right off. 
People living in the barren lands believe that the sun (the Lake of fire) is deadly:
People living in paradise believe that the sun is life giving:

=== Trolls and fascism ===
::Fascist motto #1: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
::Fascist motto #2: Just because we are enemies doesnt mean we cant be friends.
Fascism (aspergers) is perhaps best described as "anti-ism"; that is, the philosophy of being against everyone and everything all of the time. Fascism is anti-anarchist, anti-communist, anti-conservative, anti-democratic, anti-individualist, anti-liberal, anti-parliamentary, anti-bourgeois, and anti-proletarian. It entails a distinctive type of anti-capitalism and is typically, with few exceptions, anti-clerical. 
Fascists paradoxically promote violence and war as actions that create positive transformation in society (See cognitive dissonance) and exalt militarism as providing national regeneration, spiritual renovation, vitality, education, instilling of a will to dominate in people's character, and creating national comradeship through military service. Fascists view conflict as an inevitable fact of life that is responsible for all human progress.
In Internet terminology a troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum and posts inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages as well as top post flooding and impersonating others -- designed intentionally to annoy or antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion. A troll's main goal is usually to arouse anger and frustration or otherwise offend the message board's other participants, and will write whatever it takes to achieve this end. 
Trolls think fascism is "cool" and think that all cool people should be cool with it. Roughly speaking, "cool" means "infinitely good". In their minds everyone is either infinitely good or infinitely bad. Trolls think that anyone that gets angry or fights back is "not cool" and therefore infinitely bad and in their minds that is the worst thing anybody can be.
We all get angry when we see rational human beings acting like animals. Thats normal. The thing you need to understand is that trolls are not rational human beings acting like animals. They are animals pretending to be rational human beings. Rational human beings do things for rational reasons. Animals do things precisely because they are irrational. Animals get up in the morning and ask themselves what is the most irrational thing they can do that day. Then they go out and do exactly that.

=== The message is being subverted ===
Pornography is a form of trolling. The intent is to shock and offend. Unlike erotica it has nothing to do with sex.
Victorian society: 
:Sex is dirty so lets not do it.
Modern society: 
:Sex is dirty so lets do it.
In 200 years we haven't learned a single thing. 
For 200 years many good people have been trying very hard to tell people that "sex is ok because it isnt dirty" but their message is deliberately being subverted into "its ok to be dirty". Many other messages (like the words of Christ and the words of Buddha) are likewise being subverted. It is not an accident that things are so messed up. The people that run this planet want it this way. It is deliberate.
Marriage = consummation
Consummation = sex
Sex = touching the genitals of another person with intent to cause that person sexual gratification.

=== Con men ===
You cant judge how believable someone is by how much they themselves sincerely believe what they are saying.
Con men have the ability to make themselves believe something even if they know it to be false.
Con men use this ability to swindle naive people who dont realize that such a thing is even possible.
