[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"] Excuse me while I go fine a push broom to sweep up the detritus of your massive and sweeping generalizations.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]Oh, I see, you don't want [i]your[/i] money taken away from you, but you're perfectly okay with it happening to an underprivileged minority if it's under the guise of a vague "fine." Push brooms work damn hard for their money, and they deserve to keep it![/color]

[color=deeppink]I'm just glad that all the hubbub is over. The sidewalks on campus here have been a literal warzone. You can't walk a foot without seeing some attack ad written in chalk (or a more innocent "Vote so and so" ad that's been defaced). I'm not usually one to chide one for immaturity (overrated!), but the way the College Republicans and Democrats have acted offends even my sensibilities. I'm pretty apathetic about the results. I didn't care for either candidate, and when that happens it's real easy to get burned out on elections.[/color]

[color=deeppink]Amen. USA people are truly GOD's tools. We should preached it to the montains. Obama said he is called Obama. But I say his real name is Obeelzebama. HE HATES CHRISTIANS. But he is can't take away our freedom.[/color]

[color=deeppink]Super Mario Brothers 3. Specifically, World 3 Level 3. Boss Bass. That was the most terrifying **** ever. To this day, I have an irrational fear of underwater areas in videogames because [I]a Boss Bass might eat me.[/I][/color]

[color=deeppink]Finally, a real reason to vote.[/color]

[quote name='Calypso']:confused: [COLOR="Sienna"] *drowning in a sea of confusion* please make that more understandable because my brain hurts now.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]Saying "abortions shouldn't be outlawed for rapes" is not the same thing as saying "all abortions should be legalized."[/color]

[quote name='Crimson Spider']They just imply and act on that idea.[/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]Nobody has implied it either. They have either said "especially so" or "this is an exception," depending on whether the are for or generally against abortion, respectively. (Or, of course, they said abortion is always wrong.) I would classify it as inferring on your part rather than implying on theirs. Saying that something isn't entirely is not the same as saying something entirely is.[/color]

[quote name='Retribution'][font=Arial]if we are to say "life begins at conception," does that mean we should start celebrating our birthdays nine months in advance of our actual birth? [/font][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]If we do, we'd have to start calling them "conception Days" or "life Days," because "[b]Birth[/b]days" wouldn't be accurate anymore. ; )[/color] [quote]To say that something should be legal because 1/200 cases resemble the actual ideology you have placed on the idea is to strain at the gnat and swallow the camel.[/quote] [color=deeppink]I don't see anyone here using rape as a justification to allow abortion in any case [i]but[/i] rape.[/color]

[quote name='SunfallE'][COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"] No list from me. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]We don't need one. We all remember the Love Shack.[/color]

[quote name='TimeChaser'] The fact is, at the moment of conception and for some time after that, it is a simple mass of cells, it is not definable as a human being.[/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]I'll ask again, since you dodged the question. Why not? I'll rephrase it to clarify. How does a blastocyst being only a simple mass of cells prove that it's not human? How does it not having a brain make it not human? How does not being able to suffer make it not human? [u]When [i]does[/i] a blastocyst become a human life, and why is that line any less arbitrary than conception?[/u][/color]

[quote name='TimeChaser']But the point is that it's just a clump of cells, even though it's from a human. It has no brain, no neurons, it cannot suffer like a fully developed human being. It isn't a human being at that stage and won't be for several months at least.[/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]Why, exactly, is it not human? And why should I believe that it's not over "human life begins at conception?"[/color]

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]How big is this poll and what kind of questions does it ask anyway? [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]10 foot radius around me and mostly questions concerning anatomy.[/color]

[color=deeppink]Best thread ever. Even if I wouldn't touch any of you with a ten-foot poll with three condoms on the tip. And CrimsonKnight: Achilles is a correct spelling, m'dear.[/color]

[quote name='TimeChaser']It's a collection of cells. It's not a baby, it's a blastocyst. A fly is aslo alive and has far more cells than a brand new embryo, but we kill flies all the time.[/quote] [color=deeppink]This doesn't mean anything. Comparing humans, even at the intitial stages of development, to a fly just doesn't work. No matter how many cells a fly's brain has, whether it be more or fewer than a human at any stage in it's development, it is still not human. And killing something not human is not the same as killing a human. Cows, I presume, have more cells than a human based upon it's size. If that's not actually true (I can't seem to verify it), a whale almost certainly does. Is it then okay to kill and eat humans or burn their fat?[/color]

[color=deeppink]Bob Barr all the way. Dichotomies suck.[/color]

[quote name='Kastom'] Just please, you are doing the thing I detest the most: pushing your opinions onto others as though they are facts.[/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]And yet here you are, pushing your moral nihilism on the rest of us. And that's [I]wrong.[/I][/color]

[quote name='Sabrina'][FONT="Tahoma"]Actually Des, no you can't. That's what I first thought, that I could just use the charger for my DS Lite, but the connector is too small and doesn't fit the GBA SP. I did find one that I can get online for about $8 so I'll probably just order it. [/FONT][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]No, you can. It just needs to specifically be a fatty DS charger.[/color]

[quote name='CellReborn']Plus I don't know how many of you know this but it's going to be PG and marketed for 6-12 year olds.[/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]You mean like they've always done with Dragonball? THis looks like it's going to be the greatest move ever. I was sold when Roshi was cast.[/color]

[color=deeppink]Is anyone else dissapointed that this isn't a thread about adding lolcaptions to pics of other members? [center][IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26682&stc=1&d=1219109320[/IMG] Members of MAMA overlooking Otaku City.[/center][/color]

[color=deeppink]It's been seven and a half years and I [i]still[/i] come here.[/color]

[quote name='Lunox'] What confuses me is how people somehow look past the bad parts of the movie and just rave about how "dark" it was and how awesome the Joker was. [/quote] [color=deeppink]Well, I didn't see anything bad about the movie, other than a slight problem with predictability. [spoiler]Oh no, he's saving the wrong person![/spoiler] I was hoping the final scene would have had more of a fight, but it was more than enjoyable enough.[/color] [quote] Harvey Dent's magical transformation was almost ridiculous, [/quote] [spoiler]Yeah, sure, if you call having your girlfriend/betrothed die while you're saved and then get half your face burnt off "magic." I don't know how you expect people to react to this, but I think "going crazy and killing those responsible" isn't all that far-fetched.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Batman is the "dark knight" because he has to play the anti-hero, but is really a hero for taking the blame! The themes of free will and evil are so poignant![/spoiler] [color=deeppink]Anything sounds stupid if you sum it up in couple sentances and use a mocking tone like that. ; )[/color] [quote]Long movies are fine, but come on...they have to focus [spoiler](like [b]The Godfather[/b] movies, dammit)[/spoiler][/quote] [color=deeppink]I'm not sure where all this is coming from. I found the movie to be plenty focused. *shrug*[/color]

[color=deeppink]Sara, you're so awesome. I love a good tragedy, I love a good comedy, and I love a good musical. This is all three, and therefore is made of win and god. Wonderful the whole way through. Especially Dead Bowie.[/color]

[color=deeppink]Eh, It's been done.[/color] [IMG]http://a6.vox.com/6a00c22523d659604a00fa968c42de0002-pi[/IMG]

[quote name='DeLarge'][SIZE=1]But, you see, I have a reason for disliking them, and don't do it simply because they are seen by some people as "emo." [/SIZE][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]"He looks like a guy I'd like to punch" is hardly a better reason to dislike a band than "They're emo."[/color]
