[quote name='Rachmaninoff']So what do all of you think of this?[/QUOTE] [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3286721.stm[/url] [QUOTE]The 41-year-old computer technician is charged with murder, even though the victim allegedly volunteered for his fate by replying to an internet advert.[/QUOTE] Not much at all. I do not know the persons in question, I only find myself dismayed that they believed this the only ultimatum. [quote name='Rachmaninoff']Is there any time that suicide is acceptable?[/QUOTE] Euthanasia. Greek for 'a good death'. The act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment.

[quote name='ChibiHorsewoman']Oh yeah. And I talked to one of my holocaust survivor residents today and she said that the Jews and the Irish have a lot in common.[/QUOTE] Excuse me, but could you elaborate further on this. I don't mean to cause offence, I only find this comparison interesting.

James, that was a truely exceptional post. [quote name='Ace']Judges 21: 25 [FONT="Palatino Linotype"][I]In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.[/I][/FONT] Now I'm no scholar, but that doesn't really make it sound like it was God's idea in the first place.[/QUOTE] So your argument is that these passages are outdated; unlike the bible. I don't think people listening to my arguments or not is really going to get me choked up at night, Ace, so don't you go losing any sleep over it. Also you should read sabre's response towards me first before you so rashly try to label me as condescending.

Racha, I think you fell upon your own sword there since it's pretty obvious she's kidding and you've responded to it in a needlessly serious context which brings me onto serious person no 2. Hi Sabre. Hi. I enjoyed the bible lesson I really did but you seem to have neglected that your God condones rape (See Judges 21:10-24 NLT, Numbers 31:7-18 NLT, Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT, Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB, 2 Samuel 12:11-14 NAB, Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB, Judges 5:30 NAB, Exodus 21:7-11 NLT, Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB) so condemning a rapist would be I don't know...contradictve? He also has a hard-on for murder so if you want me to throw some more enlightening passages your way be sure to give me a call. Also sabre, you may want to think beyond your two dimensional world for a minute before you open the pandora's box of information I have on how the church makes it's money because believe me when I say it goes beyond the collection plate. Thankyou sabre, Im so glad we have an understanding now.

[quote name='Rachmaninoff']I don't think it's as cut and dried as that. Hence why they're considered minors in the first place. They lack the maturity to fully comprehend the consequences of their actions. I'm quite sure a lot of them do grow up as it were. =P[/QUOTE] I would never presume the intellectual capacity of a child nor their capabilities. My reasoning behind that statement abstains from the phrase 'mind your habits, lest they become you' as learning is a habitual process, yes? If you do not learn how to be responsible in the early stages of your life you are unlikely to register it, comprehend it, let alone be it later in life.

No one likes to be stereotyped but in earnest we know that these depictions of particular groups carry with them some form of the truth, otherwise they would not have been labelled in the first instance. If you don't want to become a stereotype you should take into account that your habits and hobbies are a part of you, not you a part of them - if you allow such things to dominate your lifestyle you become less in touch with yourself and your own identity, and soon enough other people - in that instance I think it only right a third party should step in to help you redeem yourself.

Oh, yay. Christianity. Don't forget children, your lord and saviour brought you into a world of disease, pain and suffering, and will end up sending the majority of you to a place of fire and torture, and burning, and spice girl albums - - but he loves you. And he needs money. Anywho, you'll find most things (traditions, biblical figures such as the differing images of satan, ideas and concepts, etc) were absorbed into christianity like a giant sponge if you do your homework. It's an easier way of bringing about transition between cultures and differing religious sects after they've been conquered. [quote name='Zen']There's a character in the Neil Gaiman book [b]American Gods[/b] based off of the above opinion. She's very offended the Christians stole her day.[/QUOTE] The only fictional book that ever stole the breath from my lungs.

[quote name='Korey']So now I pose[/QUOTE] Nekkid? [quote name='Korey']the discussion.[/QUOTE] Crap. [quote name='Korey']Should pictures of minors, even taken by their own volition be constituted as child pornography?[/QUOTE] An artist was once convicted of the same thing by complete strangers for painting her daughter in the nude while playing with their dog, it's all dependant on circumstance really. In this instance, or any for that matter, I don't think age is an excuse for lude behaviour and shouldn't exempt anyone of their actions. [quote name='Korey']Should registered sex offenders be forced to wear "scarlet letters" by having their names put on a public database?[/quote] Sure, then we can follow it up by having them disgraced in public and executing them in the street. I'm not into methods that border on extremism, it doesn't really set the right message imo. [quote name='Korey']When is the earliest age that minors could/should be prosecuted for sex crimes?[/QUOTE] As soon as the urge to screw something sets in I would hope. If you're not willing to take responsibility at a young age, you're not that likely to do so later in life.

[B]F.E.A.R 2[/B] I have only begun to attempt playing the demo and still suffer mild forms of delusional psychosis in my sleep. The visual imagery and constant taunts on your mind are the frontier of true horror rather than an overuse of gore that most games, and hollywood films, seem dependant on to bring out thrills. I mean I'm firing my gun into what I can only describe as a sixfoot underfed Samara clone and IT'S COMING THROUGH THE SCREEN SEVEN DAYS SEVEN DAYS SEVEN DAYS and then a skeleton popped out.

If I were a girl I'd probably understand what the hell Beyonce Knowles is talking about. I don't know. I guess I will never understand this concept of 'I want equal rights. Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them'. Just watched Full Metal Jacket. Film could be longer. I will probably mention it in one of these media based threads later. Playing Persona 4 of recent, kinda need more time to sit down to play it without interuption. Yeah. That's about it.

I glue two sticks together and nail a bearded dude to it. Oh ho, only joking. Why would I, a human being, a creature of right and reason ever do such a thing. Oh ho. Ho. Ho. Seriously though I buy chocolate in the shape of bird eggs and write obscene messages on them.

Hi. New here. I was introduced to here by my partner Axel Alloy. She's stating I should 'Butt Dance' but I'd rather spare you all that horror as my *** is a jungle that would make the congo seem mild by comparison and smells like something out of the mesozoic era. But enough of my finer physical details. I'm a cancer, both in character and zodiac. I am sometimes regarded as hilarious, other times a form of human life devoid of empathy or compassion for his fellow man, but most often I'm just hungry and want to make love to your mother. She's so fine. Takes me to cloud nine. Every time. I'm sure you will all come to love and understand me like a national socialist understands a member of the jewish community or a male who takes up dressing like their fictional female anime paragon. I love you all. Kisses and rainbows. Your friend.
