Kemper now:
So after you're TASED for a couple of seconds, is your body ok like it
was three seconds earlier?  Siriusly, I don't know.

Kemper now:
I agree to an extent.  I posed earlier that House Elves are bit like
the bottoms in the BDSM community; they're into serving but there's a
safe word.  Unfortunately, the Wizarding Masters haven't given their
Slaves a safe word.  The Elves want to serve maybe but they want to
serve a Master of their choosing, again, kind of like the bottoms in
the BDSM community.
I do not think the Elves are like pets.  I'm not saying dogs aren't
self-aware, I'm saying The Elves can at use a noun and verb.
