[color=darkviolet]I don' t know why I thought of this, I just know that I have to put this up here. HOw about Ein from Cowboy Be Bop and Buyo from InuYasha. I don't know why, I just thought it would be kind of cute to put a corgi with an over weight cat and see if love would blossom. :love: Of course, if you still want people I think you could try to put Sae Kashiwagi from Peach Girl with Naraku. They're both deceptive. They both like to plot against everyone else who may get in their way and sometimes they use blackmail. However, I think that even Sae would be disturbed by some of the tricks Naraku plays. So the whole thing would probably last as long as most Hollywood weddings. Yeah, but I tried![/color]

[color=darkviolet]My earth science teacher back in 9th grade said that the sun has like a billion years left of life in it before it burns out. So scientifically speaking the world won't end for quite some time. Religously speaking. I've heard the whole end of the world speech so many times from my grandma I could scream. Infact I think I will..."AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! there :wigout: Nostradomous predicted that the world would be dictated by a warlike ruler and would meet a firey end in July 1999. According to Eastern calanders we've been past the year 1999 for quite some time and Western calanders say we are five years past that so, I guess ol' Nostradomus was wrong eh?[/color]

[quote name='Crimson Spider']Second unexpected contendor:[/quote] [color=darkviolet] Unexpected hmm. That's quite interesting.[/color] [quote name='Crimson Spider']Anyone knows that. That is why we must not allow agnostic or aethiestic people to completely controll the government. What I'm argueing for is the consideration of religion and church in the actions that the government takes.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]Which is why we shouldn't let extremists of [i]any[/i] religion to completely control the government. I sometimes feel that maybe a person who doesn't believe in any set religion would be a much better choice for a leader than someone who is so stuck in his beliefs that he wishes to control everyone elses beliefs on thesubject. So don't say you agree with me then take my words out of context.[/color] [quote name='Crimson Spider']I feel like I'm talking to a wall. Not just you, but it seems like a lot of people seem to miss where I'm comeing from. You see, we are NOT forcing our beliefs onto another person. That just happens to be where we sampled the laws, and eventually cultivated our modern day morals from. Having a law of "thou shalt not kill" doesn't force christianity. I'm not even saying that the church should have itself a seperate branch of the government where it gets to say what it wants (many churches preferances aren't the same as one another). I'm saying that religion should play a role in the decision making of the government. Not just christianity, either. Time is of no concept in this matter of defining what works and what does not.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]Some people could say the same thing about you since you don't seem to understand where other people are coming from. Paganism predates Christianity by a few thousand years-infact so does Judeism. Many civilazations were already in exhistance prior to Jesus's birth. They had laws, therefore morals and a way of doing things long before their people were forced to convert. Thou shalt not kill was listed in the 10 commandments that Moses gave to the Hebrews in the first testement. Christians didn't think it up in the first place.. I'm stopping here for this one[/color] [quote name='Crimson Spider']The sabbath was Sunday. You see, over time the original Jewish writings were messed up for peoples own preferances. .[/quote] [color=darkviolet]Okay, Sabbath comes from the Hebrew word Sabbat. The Jewish people had their Sabbath on Saturday, they still do. Interestingly enough, The book of Exodus is in the Old Testement, which was written pre-Christ. Which means that you're probnably wrong about that.[/color] [quote name='Crimson Spider']Are you really challanging me to this semi off-topic arguement? I'll respond if you will me so. But I'll start with this: Just because someone marries you, doesn't make it right.[/quote] [color=darkviolet] Well, if you really want to go there you could PM me on the subject. I'd welcome it since I really want to get into the whole MA thing right now. as for being off topic, I was siting sections from teh Bible, Leviticus is a book in the Bible. Therefore, I wasn't off topic. As for someone marrying me not making it right-according to GW's version of Marrige, mine's right because it's between a man and a woman. Chew on that.[/color] [quote name='Crimson Spider']I already commented on this. Over time, people add in things that Jesus never said, nor anyone really said, into the Bible to suit their own personal preferance, and often times don't input it at all and just use religion as a shield for their actions. You can usually spot these out because they are obviously contradictory and do not go along with the rest of what the book is saying, such as how predestination was input by John Calvin in the 1200s, and people believe it no matter how much it screws things up. Some of these things are so obvious that they couldn't be law it would be rediculous, such as the latter of the mentioned scripts (I do not believe that the term "period" was a referance to a woman's monthly in the original greek/latin texts, and is possibly your perception alone on what the writing is saying).[/quote] [color=darkviolet]The whole Bible is contradictory. I really wish I could find the missing writings and original translations. As for personal preferences, I always was told that the Bible was written by peoplewho knew Jesus, so how does that whole thing fit in? Leviticus is in the old testement anyway, which means that it was written prior to Jesus. No, they didn't use period, they used menstral uncleanliness. This meant that a woman in the middle of her cycle was unclean. It' snot my perception alone as you put it. I just found it easier to write period than menstral uncleanliness. As for it not being a lwa because it was ridiculous...how come to this day in the Methodist faith women aren't allowed to clean the alter while on theiir cycle? And since ancient times women were forbidden from entering the temple while on their cycle. Okay, I've said what I cared to. I hope you have fun with this.[/color]

[quote name='Heaven's Cloud][color=indigo] Sorry about my initial post, I was trying to aim for irony with my last line and I failed miserably, heh. My point was supposed to suggest the same reasoning that Death Bug pointed out, a National Security Advisor should not have to testify at a [b]public[/b'] hearing because of the sensitive information he or she is privy to. Afterall, the National Security Advisor is a beuracratic assistant to President, therefore it would seem more beneficial for the Congressional hearing to request GW's presence.[/color][/quote] [color=darkviolet]I think she should be allowed to testify in private if she does indeeed decided to do so at all. I know from living with military that so many people involved in the government get certain Security clearances which can be lost by a slip of the lip. However, if they kept the questions to the subject at hand, I don't see why the private hearing couldn't take place. I do wonder why Bush hasn't been asked to testify at a hearing about what he may or may not know about such events. Ah well, you gotta love the government[/color] [quote name='Heaven's Cloud][color=indigo'] I also think that your figures are off. There have ony been 18 "Assistants to the President for National Security Affairs" (or National Security Advisors as they are more commonly known), I believe the first was Robert Cutler in '52 or '53. Perhaps you mean fifteen of the last twenty members of the National Security Council? Although that still seems like an odd figure. A National Security Advisor has never testified in a public Congressional hearing. I also do not understand why you bring up Jimmy Carter. Many Presidents have gone before congressional hearings, Clinton testified in several, as did Regan and Bush Sr. [/color][/quote] [color=darkviolet]I don't know whay I brought up Jimmy Carter either *shrugs* can I blame that on pregnancy? As for the information, I got it from the News program I was watching last night when I put this post up. If that's a problem, NBC needs to have a talk with whomever gave them such information.[/color]

[color=darkviolet] A few years back a kid down the street from me was arrested for forgery, money laundering and counterfiting along with a few of his friends. He had gone to the public high school in my hometown and I guess was on high honor roll when he graduated. A few months before I moved to Killeen TX there was a robbery, rape and attempted homicide over by where I lived. The lady who it had happened to was on one of the 60 minutes things or something and in Cosmo. My friend also told me that before I had moved to my apartment some woman was kidnapped and raped while pumping gas. Lincoln bought me pepper spray and forbade me from leaving the apartment alone after dark without his switchblade. There was a shooting in the apartment complex I lived in back in May. Nobody really knows what happened there. Someone said he shot himself, and someone else said it was drug related. I hated having to go get my mail after that because the apartment where it happened was infront of my mailbox. I was so glad when we moved across the complex. Oh and while I was up in NY last April/May for my father-in-law's wake there was a fire in the apartment complex as well. One of the guys that my husband gamed with went over to Iraq with his unit last April (4th ID). They got shot at the second week they were there and the guy went crazy. He's in a psych ward somewhere. His name was Calvin. Well, there's all the fubn stuff that's happened around me, I am so boring![/color]

[quote name='Heaven's Cloud][color=indigo'] I think that I read that there is a particular reason while the national security advisor is not supposed to speak at a congressional hearing unless they are subpeonaed, but I can't remeber why (if you could tell me the reasoning behind this I would appreciate it).[/color][/quote] [color=darkviolet] Well, on the news tonight they said that in the past 20 Security Advisors have testified in hearings and only 5 haven't. Jimmy Carter even testified about his deferment (is that the right word?) of Nixon back in the 70's I guess I'm just some kind of skeptic sometimes since I feel that maybe sionce she's not going to testify she could be hiding something. Not about 9/11 persay since as someone has already said, these people were already entrenched in the united states, but maybe why we never found any WMD or why we decided to go to war with Iraq who had no ties with Bin Laden. True, we may get a biased opinion in the end, but a biased opinion is better than none at all, right?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I heard about them through my husband who'll listen to anything that sounds strange. I wasn't all that impressed with teh songs. But I guess their idea is they don't feel the need to conform. Which is probably why you don't hear them on the radio. I don't have their CD with me right now, it's either in Iraq, or I ate it. I have this CD from Hot Topic called Boys Lie with a bunch of Punk Rock Girl bands. I got that in 2001. Has anyone heard of Judy and the Loadies? As for whining about getting drunk and boyfriends. Hun, what do you think Kid Rock is gonna do in a few years?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]My only friend who has never been pregnant (AKA, Jess) has DDr for her Xbox. We were goingto play it after the water ski game I was sucking at but she couldn't find the CD for it so we did kareoke instead. The first time I played DDR was the first nigt of my second visit to Las Vegas last year. I lost my shoes and totally bombed the game. I was wearing my sandles with a bit of a heeel and twisted my ankle :bawl: I had to Hobble over to the Mirage from Treasure Island to meet my mom in the casino. I borrowed my cousn's sneakers the next time, but it didn't improve my coordination by much. While my feet stayed in the footwear and I didn't twist anything-I still bounced all over. Let's face it, some people just aren't made to dance.[/color]

[QUOTE=Fushigi Rockna] Jack the Ripper... oh god... the way that man killed... it was scary...[/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet] I have to agree with you there Fushigi. The guy was really messed up. I heard somewhere he killed prostitutes in Whitechaple by slitting their throats after he...well you know. Nobody can figure out who he was tho. As for the BTK, their talking about him now on NBC Nightly News. I guess he's finally shown up again. The cops think they're catch him this time.[/color]

[b]WASHINGTON - As White House allies and Republicans investigating the Sept. 11 attacks pressed to hear open testimony from national security adviser Condoleezza Rice -- with one member of the 9/11 panel calling her refusal a ?political blunder of the first order? -- Rice took to the prime-time airwaves Sunday night, renewing her claim of executive privilege. ?Nothing would be better, from my point of view, than to be able to testify,? Rice told Ed Bradley of CBS?s ?60 Minutes.? ?I would really like to do that. But there is an important principle involved here: It is a long-standing principle that sitting national security advisers do not testify before the Congress.? Intimidation denied Rice disputed a claim from former counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke that President Bush attempted to intimidate Clarke into finding a connection between the attacks and the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein. "I have never seen the president say anything to people in an intimidating way," she said. "The president doesn't talk to his staff in an intimidating way to get them to produce evidence that is false." Rice also took issue with claims that terrorism was not a priority for the administration -- claims made by Clarke, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill. "I don't know what a sense of urgency would have caused us to do differently," Rice said. Rice noted that before Sept. 11, "terrorist attacks were getting bolder, they were getting more imaginative, they were getting more daring. We were not aggressively going after them." The policies of the current Bush administration were different, she suggested. "What they've been surprised by is that this time, there has been an all-out launching of war on them," Rice said. "... They are going to be defeated." A 'safer' world "The war on terrorism is a broad war, not a narrow war," Rice told Bradley. "Iraq is a big reason, or was, for the instability in the region, for threats against the United States. Saddam Hussein's regime was very dangerous." ? ... the best thing we can do for the future of this country is to focus on those who did this to us.? With Saddam out of power, Rice said, "the world is a lot safer and the war on terrorism is well served." When Bradley asked if she or the president were prepared to offer an apology to the families of victims of Sept. 11 -- like the dramatic mea culpa offered by Clarke last week in his testimony before the commission -- she demurred. "The families have heard from this president -- and from me personally, in some cases -- how deeply sorry everyone is for the loss they endured," she said. "But the best thing we can do for the future of this country is to focus on those who did this to us."[/b] [color=darkviolet]There's been a lot of talk recently about what Bush knew about 9/11 and WMD. People want Ms. Rice to testify about what Bush may have known. This is just a copy of what was on MSN.com I'm trying to figure out my own opinions on the subject. Of course, I'd like to know everyone else's. That is, if they have one. Does anyone think she may have known something? I'd like to point out ahead of time that this has nothing to do with Bish bashing. If anyone feels the need to do that, maybe you should grow up. On the same hand if anyone thinks I'm bashing Bush, you should also grow up. I have better things to do...like Wash my car in the rain[/color]

[QUOTE=cinnamon] Honestly, it shocks me to see 5 year olds walking around swearing. I mean, they don't know what it means, and here they are, calling you a ******* b**** just because you told them to to bed, and they heard it on tv. I have heard that some people teach their kids to swear when they are babies, just because it's funny. Like with parrots, only they aren't birds. Theyre babies. And if anyone here thinks that it's funny that their little sisters first word was ****, shame on you![/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]I worked with a girl who thought it was so funny that her 2 yr old daughter called her dumb *****. You have no idea how disturbing that is when you're pregant and you've got parents laughing at their children's bad behavior. That's why I'm probably going to wash my husband's mouth out with soap whenever he swears just to give an example. I'm going to use the pine soap too. Parents should be setting some good examples for their children. They shouldn't be teaching that swearing is funny and acceptable they should be trying to teach them manners and socially acceptable behavior. Now that I've went and said all that, let's see if I can follow through. :laugh: [/color] [quote name='cinnamon']Shocking wasn't it? Well, that's your 14-year old's view...flame away. And sorry about the numerous stars...I had to make a point...[/quote] [color=darkviolet]It's kind of hard to flame a 14 year old who actually has a mature outlook on some of life's aspects unlike other people. Besides, wouldn't it be silly of me to flame someone who has some of teh same ideas as me?[/color]

[quote name='Darius_Stomu']Not only that but she even sold all my anime stuff I had! Posters, movies, games (MY ENTIRE .HACK COLLECTION OF GAMES!), bedsheets, pillows, even my M:TG cards. And they're not even anime! I'm sorry, but they have gone TOO DAMN FAR!! I'm moving out, NOW![/quote] [color=darkviolet]I think you could possibly press charges since she stole your things. I guess I'm pretty lucky, I still have my $500.00+ collection of anime and manga along with my sailor Venus plushy, Sailor Jupiter doll, Sailor Neptune doll (good condition, I'm willing to sell) and Sailor moon bank. When I first got into anime and manga my mom didn't appreciate it too much. I was 16 at the time and had to go to Summer school for Chemistry (damn the periodic table!) I was pretty bad at school at the time so maybe she had a good reason to not let me watch SailorMoon and Gundam Wing (yeah I watched dubs at the time) on Cartoon network. Yes, I'm dating myself. I joined my first anime messageboard in college where I discovered Fushigi Yugi. Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Slayers. I had also turned 18 that year and was pretty much on my own. My ex-husband kept up my interest with anime and manga since he collects comic books and role plays. He didn't think I was childish or anything. My mom still doesn't understand, she tried to watch subbed Sailor Moon with me once and only watched one episode. She doesn't like InuYasha because of the fact it has demons. (go figure, my mom doesn't mind gay people ,but DEMONs freak her out...Catholics) I guess that's the nice thing about being an adult. You can make your own decisions and your parents can dissaprove all they want but not take action.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I write a lot of Gundam Wing Sailor Moon Fan fiction So I'm always putting different characters together. Sometimes for no other reason but the fact it's funny to see how Rei and Trowa react in something I'd write. If I had to mess around with other anime/Manga I think I'd pair Kagura of InuYasha with Tasuki from Fushigi Yugi. Sad thing is that my reasoning has to do with the fact they both have fans. Okay, so Tasuki's is supposed to be a tessen. Their personalities are somewhat simular. I haven't seen Fushigi Yugi in a while to accurately say how much Kagura and Tasuki have in common tho. I guess I'm not too much help with this topic since I keep babbling. Ah well, maybe I'll do better later.[/color]

[quote name='Semjaza Azazel']Dahmer is from Wisconsin and all of his murders took place there... so I have no clue what you're talking about. He also killed a fair share of men and I don't think they were all prostitutes. You must be thinking of someone else.[/quote] [color=darkviolet] There's a chance I could be wrong. I thought there was some serial killer in NY that went by the same name. I could always ask my mom or something. I try not to think on that stuff it's too creepy. But like always, there's a chance I could be wrong-though if I'm not...then tehre's two dudes like that along with the Stephen Bianci who was one of teh Hill side strangelers.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I have seen the original version of SailorMoon. In fact I've seen pretty much every season in the original version. I just haven't seen #67 199 and most of the original version of SuperS. I've seen the Movies, I saw one of the specials and Ami's first love. I'm pretty well informed. I like the voices better in the original anyway. (Megumi Ogata rocks as both Petz and Haruka and Keiko Han did very well as Beryl the first season.) However after a whie in both the dub and the sub the plot lines get old. How many times can the villains come to Tokyo and not expect to run into Sailor Moon? I think I can understand the Dark Kingdom since they wanted the guginshu (silver crystal) But Ali and An could have planted their mikoji somewhere else right? And Dead Moon, everyone should have just gone to vegas for that whole series. Besides, Kae Araki scares me as ChibiUsa. Yes, ChibiUsa. When she came in the show scared me. After a while, I began to try and figure out why ChibiUsa had such an infatuation with the guy who's her father even into SuperS . I finally came to the conclusion that it's due to the fact that she feels she always has to compete with her mother even to the point of trying to be with the guy who's her daddy. As for DBZ, I have a copy of the manga in Korean, does that count as seeing something besides the North American dub? Okay wel I tried. *shrugs* I hardly watched the show. Probably since fighting guys grate on my nerves. But I did manage to try and understand Vegetta. I feel the reason this Saiyan guy acts teh way he does is because so much was expected of him as a child and yet someone who he thought was beneath him ended up better than him. So he set out to kill the guy. I feel he suffers from some deeply embeded issues which still refuse to surface even after he had a child himself. It could also do with the fact that his name means vegatable. Oh as for the fighting Mecca not being realistic, they come through my neighborhood every night and put on ballet recitals. [/color]

[quote name='Yisan']who died and made you the grammar police?[/quote] [color=darkviolet]I think it was your spelling book.[/color] [quote name='Yisan']All I am saying is that real life isn't censored. The earlier you expose kids to "real life", the better it will be for them. Sheltering kids is not a good thing. Censoring things just shelters them from reality.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]Who said anything about keeping kids completely sheltered, or did you completely disreguard the entire post and look at what you could understand? This real life that you speak of-I hope you don't mean that aliens who eat people and evil robots and crap like that is part of reality. So, what you're saying is it's okay to take a five year old to Dawn of the Dead? Okay, well, I hope you enjoy having children in therapy. In other words, let them watch the news-hey if I actually had the kid two years ago, she could be watching daddy risk getting shot at in Iraq. In some ways sheltering you kid is a good thing. If a child is constantly shown violence, they become desensitized and begin to feel that such things are the norm. Maybe next reply you give me can involve some actual thinking.[/color] [quote name='Yisan']Also, my mom died in giving birth to my younger brother. With my dad being at work all the time to support us, I have basically had to raise the kid for 7 years. So I am basically a parent. I love my brother as if he were my son. I do anything for him that a normal parent would do. Nothing against our dad though, if he wasn't here, we would all be screwed. He works so hard and hardly has any time to spend with us. We all love him though.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]While that is a tradgedy, I fail to see how that has anything to do with what I said. Unless of course you're going back to what you said and blaming your father for your upbringing. You want some hardship stories? I don't know my real parents. I don't have any actual blood relatives and my adoptive father once said the infamous: You aren't our real children but... line My husband was hardly raised by his mother and became a good person despite that. He was raised by his aunts, his brother who is 12 years his senior, some pastor, and some people in Virginia. His mom almost had him live on the street and he saw his dad and his stepdad beat the crap out of his mom. Oh, and his mom ended up abandoning him in Virginia for a while because she had to go to a psych ward so the VA people kicked him out. That's how he ended up with his brother. His brother kicked him out and he moved in with some other family. When my husband lived with his mom they were so poor instead of an allowance he got food stamps. Everybody has problems.[/color] [quote name='Yisan']If that qualifies as a "parent" for you, I expect pics of you eating your CDs.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]Okay, I meant for you to look back on what you wrote when you were an actual parent, not helping to raise your brother along with your fatehr. Also, you need a lesson in sarcasm. You didn't really understand my post at all, did you? I meant that parents can't continuously watch their children second by second. When a child goes over to a friend's house, there is only so much control that parent has. You have no idea what your child could be doing over at the friend's house. Besides the fact that you can't dictate over the rules of other people's houses. That's why we need censurship. Grow up and get over yourself. Welcome to the real world[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Well, that's an interesting tidbit of information. In my neck of NY we have Jeffery Dommer/or is that had? and then TImothy McVay lived South of us. My dad went to elemntary school with the hillside strangler, but we never had something like what you had. Oh well, the closest I have is my 12th grade english teacher, his neice was one of only two children that Dommer murdered. The rest were prostitutes. My mom's older sister had a brush with death tho-almost like a Final Destination experiance (without the train and the hanger and the other stuff) She was supossed to fly to Seattle back in the 80's but she missed her connecting flight and the flight she missed crashed.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]A government which adopts one religion to govern over all its people no matter how efficent will soon fail since not all its people are being properly served. Am I right or what? You can't expect everyone to accept one set of beliefs simply because that's what has been accepted for 2000 years by a ruling majority. Besides, at one point the ruling majority was the minority. We just have to wait another 2000 years then eh? I still don't understand the whole morally acceptable ideals. If you really want to get into it- the Bible has many ideas whih are extremely outdated. Some great examples of this are Exodus 21:7 Sanctions selling your children into slavery Exodus 35.2 Says that you can kill someone for working on the Sabbath. (Of course, it doesn't say if the Sabbath is Saturday or Sunday) OF course I feel the most screwed up book is Leviticus home of the verse declaring homosexuality an abomination (for Lady's sake people, Brittany Spears is much more threatening to the sanctity of marriage than any Tina and Mary wanting to get married. You tell me why you can get married straight and drunk but not gay and sober and make a good point of it and I'll declare you my God!) 25:44 states you may own slaves provided they are purchased from neighboring nations (this one was used to allow slavery in the states) 15:19-24 prohibits contact with a woman during her period. Now how the Hells are you going to find that out? I have a few more, but I don't think it's necessary to put them up to make my point. You can follow your religion all you want, but don't try to turn it into a law.[/color]

[QUOTE=Yisan]Censorship is a bunch of ****. It is just a bunch of soccor moms trying to protect their little kiddies from the real world. Censorship was created to basically stop those soccor moms from whining. If parents took a more active role in their childrens life, there would be no need censorship. Parents park their kids infront of the TV, then leave to kid to watch whatever he wants. Then they get shocked when the kid views something not meant for his age group, and blame TV, and not their crappy parenting on what the kid saw. [/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Ok, first it's not S-O-C-C-O-R it's S-O-C-C-E-R. If you're going to insult someone do it right. (Monsters Inc rocks!) Print that reply out and read it again when you have children. If that the case then as it is now-I'll eat my cd case. the big one with the 250 CDs. Nobody can watch their children 24/7 or put them in plastic bubbles. even if one parent or both keep an eye on what their child or children watch at home there's always the chance that other parents or the relatives who are watching them aren't as careful. My brother and I had a babysitter once who would fall alseep on the couch and we'd watch whatever we felt like. Are you saying that it would be my parent's fault that the babysitter was negligent? A parent of a child who saw something inappropriate at another house shouldn't be held responsible for what the child did. That said, I feel that censorship is a somewhat necessary evil since no parent no matter how involved can resonably police their child's veiwing at all times. There are certain things that need censoring. I sure don't want my kids watching something with so much blood it looks like the person exploded. For that matter I don't want to watch that myself. Violence, profanity, sexual situations. There are reasons that movies have ratings. I want to be the one to screw my children up and I'll be damned if the media takes that away from me. :laugh: And you people better not take me seriously. The parents who want to blame media for their children's actions shouldn't have been using the television as a babysitter. As for the freedom of speech that everyone keeps talking about. Yes, the first ammendment gives the americans that right, but I think that it's within reason. And it can be susupended. President Lincoln suspended the freedom of speech during the American Civil war with the Rite of Habeus Corpus. I think my US history teacher said it best when he said-Yes you have the right to say what you want, but I think that stops when you yell fire in a crowded movie theater and there isn't a fire. So you've made me spend $7.50 for a movie I didn't finish watching and created chaos and got soem people injured. Do you still think you were within your rights and shouldn't be prosecuted. If you want to take the freedom of speech literaly ,. that would mean I would have a right to publicaly berate you and harass you without someone saying that such a thing was harassment. Do you feel such would be fair to you? Well, that's all from me for now. Hey, maybe I'll become even more inspired.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]This is an interesting topic. Very interesting. Let's get the personal attributes out of the way before we talk about the physical ones tho, shall we? I like people, either male or female with confidence, a good sense of humor and some individuality. I like thinkers and people who are straight foward. I also like those types of peopel who can take a joke and don't have to constantly look in a mirror. Okay, that's said and done, now for the physical part of the test. What I look for in a guy...well, let's see. First thing is I [i]don't[/i] like hairy men. Period. Hairy men frighten me to a point, I've had some scary sights from hairy men. I sat behind a guy in intro to soils and waters and English 101 in college who had a very hairy back. I often wondered if on full moons if he went pillaging in local towns. The place I was staying at was small enough where it was quite possible. Another scary hairy guy was this lout of a roommate my husband and I had. Not only did he look bad with his shirt off, but he had hairy nipples. I'm not talking about just a few stray hairs-I'm talking actual growth that would serve him well should his hairline begin to receed. :eek: I guess I should be thankfull that my husband can't even grow a decent mustache-let alone a nipple bush. Second should actually be even more important, but it also shouldn't go under physical...ah well. I like guys who have good personal hygeine. I really lucked out this time around since my husband showers at least once a day when he's home/ on leave/ state side. Of course, I shudder to see the water bill when we get our own house, but I guess I'll just have to deal. :wigout: I like guys to be a bit taller than me. I'm 5'4 1/2 so three to six inches is a good start. I also like them with dark hair and eyes. Especially the eyes. I love eyes. ( I think mine are the best tho) I think it's a very good thing that most women don't go for men with nice butts tho since so many men are severly lacking in the rearend department. Especially the ones I dated. As for attire, I like a guy who can dress himself, and if some days he can't figure out how to dress himself.he'll let me dress him since I can't go out in public with someone who thought it was okay to wear a shirt that looked like it lost a fight with a lawn mower. Or for that matter- a guy who wears Velcro sneakers! My dad wears Velcro sneakers. That's so senior citizen :eek: I guess whatever made that old woman at Golf act like her panties were in a bunch from looking at both Lincoln and I would be okay. :laugh: Of course, my guy style ended me up with a lanky guy of medium height, hazel eyes (more brown than anything) dark brown hair (when he has any) with tattoos, scars and piercings. And some scary looking feet. I guess I scdared him just as well since he joined the army soon after we got together. and, I could have saved you all some reading with the statement: A picture is worth a thousand words and the phrase, look down.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Blade is right. Nit picking doesn't improve conversation (yes, I do it to a point) in some cases it just pisses people off. Like when everyone starts with the name calling: ie, Liar, idiot, ignorant. Or when you begin to tell people [i]I'm[/i] right and [i]your[/i] wrong since your opinions don't agree with one another. That's not adult interaction, that's grade school interaction. Okay, short rant over with. and my migrain is slowly returning, so I'll make this quick. I've always felt that a moral code was defined by society and concience. I don't think that religion defines morals, I feel that morals define religion. If that makes any sense (hello, migrain induced stupor over here). You can't just automatically assume that since a person follows a certain religion that the person is automatically a good moral person. I know of plenty of people in plenty of different religions who I think have a horrid ideal of humanity and honesty. One of which I refuse to speak to since he decided to go off on me and tell me he hopes I miscarry. The other is in my family and feels that since my mother's idea of Christian Womanhood isn't hers that my mother is destined for hell. However, these people follow religions the later is supposedly a good Christian woman and the later well...I'm too much of a good witch to mention it. Okay well, that's all I have for right now. Bye bye! My the lord and lady watch over you all, Chibi Horsewoman[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Okay, how do I explain this one-there was a thread up on Otaku Lounge for a while with bad jokes in the title. So now I'm wondering if anyone's creative enough to try and make up anime/manga jokes. Trust me, they don't have to be funny. They just have to make some sense and there should be atleast three of them. Here are some of mine: [b]Q[/b] What's pink, white, and red, and goes 100 MPH? [b]A[/b] Sailor ChibiMoon in a blender [b]Q[/b] How can you tell if Miaka has been to an all you can eat buffet? [b]A[/b] If there's nothing left [b]Q[/b] What's round filled with marshmallow cream and saves the city of Tokyo from danger wearing a Sailor Suit? [b]A[/b] Sailor Moon Pie [b]Q[/b] Why did the Durocel people run over ChibiUsa? [b]A[/b] They thought she was the Energizer Bunny. [b]Q[/b] What do you call it when you have Sailor Moon, sailor Chibi Moon and Tuxedo Kame tied up in your garage and a car starter in your hand? [b]A[/b] Your lucky day Well, there are some of mine. No, they weren't pretty. No, they weren't funny... or maybe they were. But hey, you try it.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Well, unlike StarShine, I'm something of a Narcist (did I spell that right?) Well, when I was like five I wanted to run off and join the circus. I had it all planned I was going to be a lion trainer. Unfortunately I was afraid of clowns at the time so that plan fell through. Besides, the circus never came at the right time. :bawl: The I wanted to be an actress. Hey, I'm a narcissistic ham right? But nobody ever gave me a chance exept as an angel in the Christmas play in elementary school. After the actress thing bombed I decided that with all the therapists I was seeing, I'd become one. I mean the best teacher is experiance right? Of course, when I found out how long school is for a doctorite I decided against that. :lecture: I guess now I've decided to be a bus driver and a mommy-so yeah, that works out for me...until I decide to want to be a vamipric race car driver like one of my RPG characters. :rotflmao: [/color]

[color=darkviolet]Okay, so this is a topic about separation of church and state. Yes, there's supposed to be such a thing, but there have been pleanty of times that I can't remember seeing that. Military functions for example. Oh, I can give two very nice examples of how the mainstream religion has been forced upon people at Military functions. My best example is probably the battalion's 'Holiday' party. There was a prayer before they served food and then throughout the whole event everyone was bombarded with gospel music. Needless to say, we didn't stay too long past the food and Lincoln's 1st sergeant seeing us. This was a required attendance event by the way. I honestly didn't have too much trouble with the prayer prior to serving everyone, but Christian music isn't for everyone, heck, some Christians don't even want to listen to it 24/7. Why force something like that on people where attendance was required? I'm not quite sure if this is another show of why there needs to be more definition of church and state, or if this is just an invasion of privacy, but quite a few times prior to being deployed my husband's 1st sergeant has told him that we need Jesus and he's taken picture's of the bumper stickers and liscence plate holder of Lincoln's car as well. Once when Lincoln asked him why he was doing it he said he was going to show the pictures to the commander and make him take the stickers off his car. Perhaps I'm off subject now, and if I am, I appologize. But I do feel that in some ways the military still forgets that there is supposed to be separation of religion and duty.[/color]
