		<description>As people have probably guessed, I'm not updating this blog very often at all anymore. The longer it got, the more heavy and difficult it became to update it. But, I certainly haven't stopped barefooting, and most probably never will! For those interested, you can visit my totally barefoot twitter: http://twitter.com/KarmaPaw</description>

		<description>Those that ague against the act of bestiality, using the "un-natural" theory are pretty much the same people that believe the world is flat. They have no real scientific background to back their statements up, just years of unconscious indoctrinate bigotry to drive those feelings.
 BTW, I pretty much agree with everything you say here KS. i know what it is like to be a victim of the persecution/prosecution system here in the USA.</description>

		<description>I've been reading around and I agree and disagree with you at the sametime in different topics. The point is that it's diffocult to find reasonable people nowadays and I would like to know more about you. I guest you already have my email, so I'll be waiting for yours so we can talk and know each other.</description>

		<description>I like being barefoot when I can, but where I lived it was incredibly difficult with all the grassburs and stickers. Even inside my home it wasn't smart to go barefoot because of the off chance of stepping on a scorpion, which we had a lot of.

I remember one time I lost my shoes and I went to Wal-Mart to get me a new pair. The bastards wouldn't let me in though because they were doing some reconstruction in part of the building and if I accidently stepped on a shard of glass or something they were afraid that I would sue...fucking moronic.

While being barefoot when I can is great I think that there is something to be said about the empowering feeling of wearing steel toed combat boots :)</description>

		<description>I can follow the logic, but there is a large amount a discomfort to it. I suppose one could say thats just due to the imprinting of those social norms from child hood. When I was 10-11 years of age I had a sexual experiance with a girl my age at the time. The only reason we never went through with the act was because I had been taught better and backed out in the end.

Our social norms may be the thing that makes something harmful when it may have no intrinsic harm in it, but I would like to think that there is something within human nature that isn't shaped by our social norms that tells us that, "this is going to far," or "this is too extreame."</description>

		<description>I hear you. And as I said, in the case of a man and a child, it will most probably lead to damage later on (indirectly, by learning our norms, morals, values and by victimization) even though the damage didn't occur at the time of the actual event. An adult should know these factors well, and thus have a responsibility, naturally. However - and this is the weird part - it doesn't have to be the "perpetrator" that inflicts the damage at all, but all the rest of us, teaching the child that the event that took place was wrong and hurtful, though it wasn't at the time (how does that make sense?)</description>

		<description>I'm pretty open minded and I agree with your philosophy to a ceartain extent. Like zoophilia for example. I don't condemn it but I don't support it either...but if I was in Japan and saw a man engaging in sexual activity with a child of the age of 13, whether consent is given or not, I am probably going to kill that man. Mabe my western society made me that way, but it's ingrained in my nature and I just can't let myself make that leap of accepting such things. It is physicaly impossible for my mind to ever condone a man fondeling a child with his "tool" even if the child doesn't fully realize what is going on. No matter your motto, man needs to be responsible over his own actions and over his children. At least thats my personal feeling about it. I couldn't live with myself feeling any other way.</description>
