As I'm sure many of you are aware by now, a bath house has opened for school use. I hope you all will take this opportunity to soak and relax to ease your stress before finals begin.

However, the bath has no separation between the genders. This may not be a problem for all, but I'm sure it will be for some. Thusly, I have drafted a suggestion for a schedule.


5AM-7AM Female
7AM-9AM Male
9AM-11AM Other
11AM-6PM All
6PM-8PM Male
8PM-10PM Female
10PM-5AM All

Naturally, I've no authority to make this schedule official, but I hope all can agree that the proposition is fair, and an attempt to make our peers feel satisfied and safe.

If you've any suggestions, questions, or objections, I welcome them. The more people that pitch in their thoughts, the faster we can come to a satisfying decisions that suits everyone's needs!

I disagree. Those who couple the natural state of the body with imprudent thoughts ought simply to be dismissed from the bath fully. Those who are logical enough ought not have their schedules interrupted.

This will require monitoring at first, and the encouragement of students to report abhorrent behavior, yet with that control applied and violators punished, the clock ought be open.

[forgetbeam]

There is no monitoring or controlling someone's thoughts. Even if no physical contact is made, they could allow their thoughts to distract them from their studies and duties. It would be chaos.

[ANARCHY AND RUIN. Someone's blowing it a little out of proportion...]

[will_be_god]

That has already occured, long before either the bath or the school itself.

[forgetbeam]

It would be more chaotic than ever.

[will_be_god]

Then we shall seperate the distracted from the focused and discard those who refuse to obey.

[forgetbeam]

"Discard?" Just what do you mean by that?

[will_be_god]

Disregard. Pass by. We must extend hands to those unable to achieve, but we cannot be weighted down by those who refuse to utilize threir own potental.

[inspirethefire]

Nobody mentioned imprudent thoughts but you, sir.

[will_be_god]

Then what is your reason for prohibiting intermingling?

[inspirethefire]

I am not prohibiting anything.

Some people are uncomfortable with the concept of exposing their body to another sex. Their reasons for that are their own; I would not presume to speak for them.

[will_be_god]

That is why, then, there are divided times. Yet it was not for a lack that you protested.

...we ought weed out those with illogical minds. Not simply here.

[inspirethefire]

It was for their discomfort that I protested. So yes, it was for the lack.

I'd prefer to weed out the notion that anyone with a differing perspective is illogical and worth weeding out.

[will_be_god]

It is not simply a "different" perspective. Those with thoughts different from the norm have often advanced society. Yet there are those who endanger the safety of others, and thus of society as a whole.

[inspirethefire]

It is not the responsibility of one person to decide who endangers others simply based upon thoughts.

[will_be_god]

Certainly thoughts pass in and out of the mind. I speak of those who harbour such thoughts, who permit them to remain and fester, whose behavior mirrors these thoughts.

[inspirethefire]

Then you should perhaps speak in the first place of people who act on such thoughts and behaviors, rather than starting by making a broad statement about anyone who makes a simple, private thought to your distaste.

[will_be_god]

To form illogical associations shows a flaw already.

[inspirethefire]

To be flawed is not a sin.

[will_be_god]

It is...only human, yes?

[inspirethefire]

It is only existing. To be flawed is to have something to strive for and learn from.

[will_be_god]

And yet, to shed those flaws permits us to work unhindered to the advancement of all things.


...yet that is for another time.

[inspirethefire]

[He wants to keep arguing, but it's true that this is all getting disconnected with the topic at hand.]

If you have no further complaints with the schedule, I thank you for your opinion.

[will_be_god]

Very well.
