You need to calm the fack down. You could’ve just easily explained why some armys chose to illegally steal content. You clearly have no idea how to speak for people to understand, you just want to be right, which means you’re not NEARLY as mature or advanced as you think you are.

I'M LAUGHING. because you must be new here. because i have replied and explained why some people choose to illegally stream content. i've most definitely said it in much nicer terms. but am i gonna sit here and have y'all grey faces come at me for the stupidest shit? nah, dude. that don't fly. if you don't want me to speak for you, good for you. don't listen.

Is there any difference between maize and corn or are they really just different names for the same plant?

they’re the same plant, but ‘corn’ is generally used when talking about the economics of the plant while ‘maize’ is used to refer to the plant’s history, evolution, ethnobotany, etc. when you read a scientific paper on it, it’ll most likely use ‘maize’, and if you sit down to talk to a group of botanists specializing in the plant, they’ll use ‘maize’, but if you’re talking agronomy and agricultural respects you’ll hear ‘corn’ tossed around more often than ‘maize’ in my experience!

(just asking in a friendly tone) but wouldn't it mean then that a gay man getting sexually turned on by men or a straight woman getting turned on by a man would also be a kink? A kink, to my understanding means that you are getting turned on by 'unconventional sexual practices, concepts or fantasies' (as wikipedia puts it). Sex between two men (gay or not) should not be considered unconventional. It might be different to what you do but that doesn't make it kinky surely? Am I wrong? :/

Hey! 

Okay, with your explanation now, I really think there’s a bit of a language barrier going on here. :)

Let me quickly explain how I personally, with my cultural background, see this:

kink / kinky = turn on / sexy. Nothing you can “control”. It’s just the way it is. Can have a “nasty” touch but more because that’s nothing you usually discuss with your parents.

So for me, this whole point of “unconvential” is no deal at all when I talk about kink or kinky.

A fetish, for me, however, indeed can be pretty unconventional.

I find it hilarious that we’ve come full circle and are referring to anything relating to sex as sin again

Trying to explain nigga/NIGGA to a non black person is a losing battle.
