I just wanted to say that I read this and giggled uncontrollably for several seconds, because I'm an immature child.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Enjoy the chuckles.

It's a funny chart. It divides people into three groups that aren't mutually exclusive. It might as well divide the world into democrats, republicans, and bassoonists.

Does any one remember the old Sesame Street One of These Things Just Doesn't belong game?

I agree. It's a little like saying that liking sex with grown-ups leads to child molestation.

I never said it was for children. But in my country you have to be 14 years old to have sex, so I guess you can practice BDSM at 14 as long as it is consented. Weirdly you have to be 16 to have sexual intercourse with same sex people. ROFLOL

I'm actually curious to know if you consider that too young or too old

Yeah and it would be awesome to send all 14 years old kids who have sex to correctional facilities (they can't go to jail until 16)... Sounds legit to punish people for having sexROFLOL
