[color=crimson][size=1] I don't agree with the death penalty for a few reasons... 1. It isn't a deterrant (especially when you're already a psychotic killer). 2. It sends the wrong message: that an eye for an eye is true justice, and that killing another human is the right way of dealing with a problem. 3. It's a direct contradition of the law. The law states that nobody can murder...yet the state "officially" murders people. Big contradiction there. 4. Prison is a harsher sentence. With death, they give you a needle to fall asleep...and then another to die. You don't feel a thing...you fall asleep. Timothy McVeigh WANTED this...so the state gave him exactly what he wanted...very stupid indeed. A life of prison would have been much worse for him. [/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Master O Beans [/i] [B] Exactly - what's the deal with this whole "have only mature conversations"...I mean, damn, I do enough of that during the day at class - when I come home , I just want to have fun - I don't care to discuss [I]merely[/I] politics and other 'mature' issues...let's have some f***ing fun! :excited: ...well there's my two cent's worth. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]We're not saying that you can't have fun. But you can have fun without being an idiot -- it's quite simple. We are trying to attract a more mature audience to the boards, as many of our older members are leaving due to the frankly crappy nature of many of the more recent topics/posts. If you don't like it, you don't have to sit there and complain. You may leave at any time.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Zidane [/i] [B]Good point! lol.:laugh: But Shadow Gohan's terms to a sword is fighting. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Uhh...yeah but..who the hell would he fight? lol...the plants in his backyard?[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Zidane [/i] [B]Damn it! What the hell is the point of getting a sword? When you don't know any type of martial arts! You hav to learn the foot-work,technique,you dont even know if a sword is your type of weapon.(This is to Shadow Gohan by the way) I dont care if ya think I'm critisicin you but you're gonna end up gettin' hurt if you run around the garden like a maniac.Its not just me who tinks this,I think it's all of us.Morning Dew thinks so too. I don't want you under estimating a sword ok Shadow Gohan? You might get hurt(Gulp) and I dont wanna hear any news of that happenin.I'm not gettin a sword for martial arts,I wanna actually understand.I know this because my dad's girlfriend teaches,Tai Chi.And does 3 difernt styls of Kung Fu,and others. Well,I do actually wanna do it for martial arts,but martial arts isn't just about fighting. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]I haven't read the entire thread, but why the hell would anyone get a sword to fight with? lol. People mostly buy swords for decoration...because they look cool and can be quite expensive...[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by jcgoudy [/i] [B]Are you sure its not the XBox that they're getting on the 15th? And the reason they delayed it was so they could ship more systems on launch day. There are going to be 700,000 systems available on launch day, though some of those have already been reserved. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]I think that he means he can get a GameCube when it [b]ships[/b], not when it's [b]released[/b]. There is a difference. Some stores would be taking shipments of GameCube several days before launch. A good example is the Nintendo 64 launch. I received my N64 a day before the official launch day, because my local game store had the units brought in the day before...and for those who had preordered, they let us take our units early. So in some cases, you can do that. Of course, it's especially good when you actually know someone who works at the store (in management) or if you know someone at Nintendo itself...you can get the console several days before launch.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by kuja [/i] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]i just think quality of work not quantity of graphics[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Yep, and that is Nintendo's motto. :)[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lady Macaiodh [/i] [B]i knew james' wrath was coming... [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Yep. The topic started out reasonably okay (even though Adam decided to close it initially). Perhaps he sensed that it would turn into absolute trash further down the line. I also realize that this is really a hormonally driven thread created by a young teenager lol...so I understand the purpose of it. But I felt that I'd keep it open if it was used responsibly. Lady Macaiodh, given the fact that you're older than Will2x, perhaps you could steer this conversation is a more mature and acceptable direction? :)[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cloud Strife00 [/i] [B]lol, James. Whats the world of video games coming to any more? The nes still has some of the best games: ff, dragon warrior, Guardian Ledgend, and so many more. Do these games stack up to NOW? no they dont but the itself is what counts, not the graphics, sound or anything. Many people still say that when the NES was new, well that to many people consider that the golden age of video games. The same thing with ps2. It shouldnt be the graphics sound. I mean Orphen took me 6 hours to beat, ZOE took me an afternoon, and if mgs2 is going to be as long as 1st one, than the world will have alot of fun playing for the short time itll take them to beat it. I personally think that the quality of video games are rapidly declining. :babble: :sleep: [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]I agree and disagree here. On the one hand, we have a situation where true game makers are being forced out of the market by corporations who aren't intersted in the games, but who are interested in the money (Sony and Microsoft namely). The problem with this, is that both companies aren't interested in making innovative games just for the sake of pleasing their customers. They are interested in making visually appealing games with a very short play time. Sony recently sent out a memo to its developers saying basically "We would like you to spend more time on graphics than on gameplay, so that we may compete with GameCube and Xbox". What the hell is that? That is an example of a company who has no idea. I think it sucks that Sega, the second most accomplished game maker in the universe (after Nintendo), has been forced from the market by Sony/MS. Sure, some of that was Sega's own fault, but I hate the fact that the slack-jawed majority of the gaming populace was unable to recognize what Sega was offering -- some of the world's most innovative and fun video games. This is surely a disturbing trend, however, that is why I have such strong support right now for Nintendo. Shigeru Miyamoto has expressed his discontent with the current state of gaming, and he acknowledges that things need to change. That is why we are seeing games like Pikmin coming from Nintendo. Miyamoto doesn't want to follow the pack -- he wants to define new types of gaming fun. And I fully support him on that move. Sony is impoving, it is starting to finally develop its own video games and thus, is starting to understand how gaming works. But both Sony and MS have a long way to go, particularly Microsoft. Anyway...I think that some games today are miles better than the games of the past, but many games are far too shallow and superficial to be considered truly great games. I truly hope, for the sake of the gamers, that more companies start to adopt Nintendo's philosophy of creating new ideas.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Will2x [/i] [B]lady mac PM ME the rest of the details :) HOW many sex partners do you think you can sleep with at once? How many would you want to sleep with? [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Okay...this is getting friggin' ridiculous. Will, I really think you should go and get all of this sexual desire out of your system lol...this topic is getting more and more stupid. I think it's well and truly run its course. You may only continue with this topic if it is kept clean -- it's moving further and further into the gutter with each post. [/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]Eh, it actually started on v2 by stardust, and while I don't think many members [i]did/do[/i] like it...I remember Adam commenting on the fact he thought it was a good idea. I don't care either way, I'm just clearing some things up :)[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]I also feel that the Daily Otaku is a good idea. But if it causes too much arguing...for whatever reason, I guess it'll have to be closed. [/color][/size]

I don't see it.... but thanks anyway :) [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]You showed me your picture on AIM, but I don't think you were really close enough for me to tell either way... You need the kind of picture that BabyGirl first posted...that HUGE one where everyone could see every single detail on her face. lol (I have that picture burnt onto my brain now, BabyGirl. I'll be able to pick you out easily if you're ever in a crowd...that is, if I don't hear you yelling out "beh!" or "tsa!") [/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sephiroth [/i] [B]nanaki obviously found another member of his species, since before bugenhagen dies, he tells nanaki to search for other people of his species, etc.... and let me just say this once again, Aeris CANNOT be resurrected, thank you.... [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1] You're right, I have heard so many theories about how she can be revived... I think it's pretty clear that Aeris can't be revived. In addition, I don't know if Square ever did actually intend for her to be revived in terms of being a playable character. Perhaps she was to feature in a dream sequence or something of that nature, but a revival does not appear to fit into the game's overall story. Even the way she died...it was very dramatic and finalized...I don't think that it warranted a "resurrection", even IF Square had intended something like that. Anyway, I will continue to laugh at those who try to resurrect her. They'll be sitting infront of their PlayStations until they're 90 years old. Hopefully they will figure out that it's just a silly rumor long before then...[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]I wonder why it's only the US that gets tornados...in Germany we got under some shelter right before a storm hit us...it was unlike any storm we have over here. There were these fat raindrops that turned into hail...along with lots of thunder and lightning...I was all scared until someone told me that tornados don't happen over there...then I became fascinated with the storm :excited: [i]Hehe, I'm usually not whimpy...storms just scare the crap out of me...[/i][/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Move to Melbourne.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]Gah! Trains! I had to write an overnight one from Barcelona, Spain to Seville (if memory serves me correctly) and it sucked. Try spending the night cramped in a room no bigger than 10ft x 15ft with four people. Gaaah! Every time the train would turn during the night, I thought we were going to derail...I was delirious...[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]...sounds like fun to me. :)[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]Just like some people will never understand the Tsa legacy...some people will never understand your Buh. Hehe, it's true yes. Wait, what topic is this in again?[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]This is the sex topic lol. How does buh and tsa fit into sex... Hmm, probably better not to wear out my brain thinking about that one. I don't know how to get this topic back on track, so I'll leave that to someone else.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]Buh reminds me of some annoying little kid who makes sound effects while running around with a toy plane. "Buuuh!"

I like this smiley though :drunk:[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]lol yeah...I was on the train once with a mother and her two little kids...for about 45 minutes.
