"A parasite lives in a close relationship with another organism, its host, and causes it harm. The parasite is dependent on its host for its life functions. For example, viruses are common parasites. The parasite has to be in its host to live, grow, and multiply.

It doesn't cause harm, it gives me a great deal of pleasure.

No it doesn't fit the def in anyway actually and being a separate organism is actually a huge sticking point for something being a parasite.

I'm not sure what's dumber, this statement or making in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with anything political at all.

What? No.

A parasite is another organism, your reproductive organ is part of your body and hence it cannot fit into the definition of a parasite under any possible way.

The redistributive social policy called 'social justice' is based on the redistribution of wealth via taxation. That's parasitic.

You're trying too hard. It's when you don't try that people might actually like you.
