| A point I've noticed being mentioned over and over is that there is no fight to survive in socialism. That all the grubby jobs in the world make the same as the highest jobs in the world. This is all from a perspective of people growing up in the hierarchy of life.
There is no physical attribute that makes us different from one another. We all have arms, legs, teeth, and the like. What makes us different is our mentality. And nature has even found a way to balance it out for us in this way too. You see, we may not all be able to crunch a calculus function in a split second, but one might be more superior in other ways. Moral standing, virtue, or other mental abilities all fall in that category. Therefore, we should all be working together, not against each other, to build a utopia. Where one of us fails, there's always another there to fill any gap. So where do we go from here, then? Can any of us change the future? No, but we can all create the path we walk to it. It's jsut a question of what direction we want to make the path. I think the problem is that we can all see the path, or have the resources to make the path, but we don't want to create it. We'll continue our blind march because that path works, and it feels good to walk down it. This path is the society we live in today. Capitalism, the system created by your forefathers, given unto the world so that the lucky and the smart will flourish with happy lives, while the dumb and the inept suffer a poor life of poverty. That's my issue with Capitalism. But what would happen if we jumped onto a different path? Would it be so horrible? Would it be worth a venture? If we do, there is no turning back. But there is always starting fresh. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. "He who asks is a fool for 5 minutes, but he who never asks is a fool forever." - Chinese Proverb |

| I'd like to point out how ironic it is that the Atheist/Agnostic option on the poll is black. Whether that was mentioned somewhere else is soemthing I didn't check.
Aside that, I don't believe God is our leader. We live our own life, and God made it that way. For us to use his teachings within the bible as a guide, and to lead our lives as we wish. If he is our creator, then why would he allow us to be evil? To corrupt and consume others wealth and do injustice towards our brethren? He gave us morals, and whether we choose to obey them is our choice. Not his. He will not smite you for doing an evil act, but if you do something evil, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven, unless you pray to God and be forgiven of your sin. That faith in Jesus will save you from an eternity of hell. |

| You know, not everyone becomes a doctor because they make alot of money. Alot of people who become a doctor become one to try and make a difference for the people they serve. The inspiration could start as a child, or from living in conditions where medicare is almost not availiable.
Why do scientists push the limits of technology? They're driven by the fact that they're going to be remembered forever as the one who discovered such and such discovery. Take ex-Professor Podkletnov from my Antigravity thread. Why, after being laughed at again and again and again, continue to pursue his dream of making Antigravity a reality? He believes that it's for the benefit of the people to continue his work. Thats the attitude people need to have to survive in a Socialist world. But monopolies have nothing to do with the way socialism works. They're still selling that product, and they still have a monopoly on it. But rather than maximizing their profit from it, they can have no profit. So now it gives these corporations more incentive to accomodate to the people and spend the money to make their product worth using. If they don't like it, then don't sell the product. There will always be someone who is all about the people. I've been trying to think of solutions to the various problems that wind up with Socialism. My solution was to come up with a different type of government altogether, and so far it's going pretty good. It isn't shakespeare, but it's really for my personal reference.

| Interesting. I notice it does not mention Threesomes...Are they not allowed? Do they allow for a GBD if she arranges it by herself? The document seems incomplete and not accomodating to all possible outcomes.
The verdict: Null. Send author to jail for misleading contract negotiations. |

| It's a legally binding contract if she signed it. So long as she doesn't he's not very guilty for making it.
But I do not think this is the real focus of the issue at hand. So this man tried to rape his wife. Thats not Iowa's fault, thats his fault. But maybe he has a fetish. Saying thats wrong is about as wrong as saying a man that likes lesbian porn more than straight porn is evil and should go to jail for it...Not to say trying to force that on his wife is right, since it is kinda illegal and is considered rape. It's just a psychological angle of it all. |

Surely you're not serious. First of all, just writing, "This is a contract that says you (John Doe) must do everything I (Joe Schmoe) tell you to." And then having someone sign it does not make it a legally binding contract. Umm, yeah it does. Secondly, under no circumstances can a contract, no matter how well-written or official, stipulate the committing of a crime on or by the author or signer of the contract. Thirdly, on the fourth page the author writes, "This is not a contract; it is a description of rules for you." Directly stating that it's not a contract. This four-page doccument was brought up by the prosecution to show what a whacko Mr. Frey is when his wife charged him with kidnapping. Ok, so I missed that. My mistake. Maybe it doesn't even matter. But point being, in Canada that is a legally binding contract. Perhaps not in America, but that's not my business. This isn't a case of "apples and oranges" in the least, and even if he has a fetish for dictating every aspect of his wife's life, that doesn't mean he has a right to try and enact those fantasies. He can fantasize about them, of course, just like someone can fantasize about rape or sex with a child, but the moment something like that is attempted to be realized, it becomes illegal. Really, you sound like you're defending this guy. Although the fact that he wrote the doccument in itself is no reason to arrest him, the fact remains that he kidnapped his wife, and the doccument suggests that he's a very distrurbed and controlling person, which could be grounds for getting their marraige annulled and granting full custody to the mother. Oh, I see what's going on here. The moment I step out of the mob mentality, I'm suddenly defending him. The whole point of that post was to remain neutral. I don't care if he killed someone, I'm not the one who has to judge him. None of you have the right to do that. But be that as it may, I apologize for any confusion I brought up. The problem with laws is that it guides different people down one single path. Not to incite Anarchy, but for a world that's so different, we base our morals on the wrong kind of perspectives these days. We all have a basic sense of whats right and wrong, some more than others, and nowadays we have to change our morals to keep going in the system. For example, would you date a 14 year old if you're 20? The law says no, and thus our judgement on the subject is forced upon us. Yet the female of 14 is just finished going through that phase where she is now ready to bear a child. Physically and mentally. Unfortunately, society says she will fail because she is too young to bear a child and cannot afford it. Some cultures around the world would see nothing wrong with this. Yet we do. Are our ancestors just a bunch of wrinkly old geezers with flawed morals? Did they feel that judging another culture and seriously contrasting it to their own was right? However, thats not to say that all laws are bad, the code of laws can prevent alot of evil, but for some people they just inhibit who they really are. If anyone takes that as defending a rapist, you need to think more logically about it. (edited by Rom Manic on 02-23-06 11:05 AM) (edited by Rom Manic on 02-23-06 11:06 AM) |

Well they would obviously have to go through court to null it. This would call for more than probable cause to do so...
We don't prepare these 14 year olds because we figure they should be focusing on other things than starting a family. 14 year old girls in Africa are taught from a young age that they will, or should, have a family started. |

| It's easy if you know what you're looking for. But there are a few methods to do it.
You could modify the ROM, by using a tracer program to find out the offset for the amount of lives you start off with. Once you find it, you can rewrite that value to whatever value you want, which could be 00, or FF (255). Another way is through savestate hacking. How you would go about doing it is beyond me, I've never done it before, so it would be good to look up a reference document off of Romhacking.net or something. You could also try to make game genie codes, but I've never even bothered to look into this. |

| I think my response would be "What would we achieve by knowing everything?"
So...If we DID know everything, what is the point of living? So many things happen every day all around the universe, you'd have to keep up with all of that, all the time. It could be very frustrating and cause lots of stress. My guess is that you'll probably eventually kill yourself. I don't really have much else to say on the subject...Perhaps narrow it down into smaller bits? |

| Think, for example, of the many random manifestations your brain can incur, totally random. We're all made the same, we all feel the same, and yet we're all so different. Why is that? Does our brain manifest new problems we have to overcome in order to keep the challenge up?
It is my belief that being insane is something your brain manifests to keep it from being bored. It may not be desirable in some cases, but think about it for a second. Why do people have peanut allergies? Is there some chemical inbalance that makes it so? Let's look at the reactions people can have: - Sense of foreboding, fear, or apprehension - Flushed face, hives, swollen or itchy lips, mouth, eyes, or tongue - Tightness in mouth, chest or throat - Difficulty breathing or swallowing, drooling, wheezing, choking, coughing - Running nose, voice change - Vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pains - Dizziness, unsteadiness, sudden fatigue, rapid heartbeat, chills - Pallor, loss of consciousness, coma, death With such varied reactions, I think it is safe to say that this allergy is a manifestation of the brain, completely random. But where would such a manifestation come from to be so common? The answer is, or most likely, breast milk. Studies have shown, according to this online brochure, that breast milk contains proteins that are also found in Peanuts. Therefore, it is possible that this protein is rejected at random within people during the breastfeeding process. But why the Peanut protein? Why not others? Honestly, I don't know...I can only imagine that it is an isolated protein, and because of that, the mind would randomly reject it. During infancy, you can develop many allergies if you're exposed to them too early. Like Milk, for example. If an infant drinks Cows milk too early, it will develop an allergy to it. Anyways, moving on. What about other illnesses? Like mental illnesses? Let's look at Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. You see something that catches your attention, and suddenly it's all you can think about for any period of time. You might scream at it, you might attempt to attack it, you might do any number of things focused about this one thing. Is this really an illness, or is it your brain trying to have some fun? There really isn't a way to tell for sure, since many people just have this blind eye towards what insane means, and never bother to examine this phenomenon. If it isn't normal, it's crazy, right? |

| I think genetically modified plants are unhealthy. Most real food I eat comes from my garden in my front yard, like Tomatoes and Cucumbers and onions and radishes and stuff like that, mostly vegetables.
There really is no reason to genetically modify plants. They're perfect the way they are. They might not grow fast enough, but having enough to go around is what we folks around here call "Using your brain"  |

| You seriously do not pity the guy? From what I've read, the guy is simply delusional and has an altered sense of reality. He didn't do this for kicks, who really would in their right mind? The wife obviously didn't, so what separates the husband from the wife in this situation? From the rest of us?
He deserves to have treatment, not to be treated like maggot shit. |

Do you see a lack of food now? Why would it be different under a Socialist regime? Oh yeah, and I'd quit calling names if I were you.
I think you should elaborate on this. I know I made a mistake by saying we're not different physically, but we're essentially all carbon based life forms living on the planet earth.
No, my issue is that people do get punished for poor work, and that can ruin their lives. By eliminating the system where making good money is challenging, we eliminate other problems too. Suicide, Divorce issues, etc. Not completely eliminated, but for the ones related to money issues.
Not really. Did you read what I typed? I didn't say that hard work would go without benefits. I have to go, back in a bit to finish this post off. |

Greetings 
I've been going through some of the garbage forum that is so dubiously called "The Pit Of Dispair" (Typo ignored), and have come across a few conclusions about the mental ability that the current moderators possess. Mainly, the idiocy, the cynicism, and the hypocrisy. Ever since I first came to the Internet, there was this narrow minded view of how people on the Internet should operate. If you don't follow a set of guidelines given to you through the almighty "FAQ", you're toast. Here, there is no mercy. Yet even those in power break the rules. If I may quote the "Condensed Rules For Idiots (Like You)":
There are a few rules here that I have an issue with: Two. No flaming, either. Assholes will be banned on sight.You might see an issue with this one. But I see this all the time on forums, especially in politically related threads. What separates Bush Bashing from regular old flaming? Is it because he's your leader? Is it because he is not a member of this forum? Does that really justify flaming him? I think it shows a failure to understand exactly what it is you're doing, and in some countries it only provokes the death penalty (God bless Freedom of Speech, eh?) Five. No being stupid.This rule should be enforced a little more. If you truly want people to not act stupid, maybe it should be regulated a little more for those of us who aren't new to the forum or don't have a history of being stupid. If that can't be done, perhaps this should be elated on, rather than telling us what to do and what not to do, or what your definition of spam is. At least new users have an excuse to be stupid, but when people act stupid just to mock them, it shows their mentality. And for mods to be acting this way tells me alot about the capability of their leadership skills. Eight. Hacking a ROM and showing nothing but screenshots of a single level with nothing new is a good way to get a thread closed.Is it really necessary to point this out? A hack is still a hack, and even the smallest achievement should be properly criticized. When you just filter this kind of thing out like trash, it only makes way for more people who have no patience for failure. Is that the kind of community we really desire? Just a bunch of short tempered, short minded reverse engineers? Nine. I hate you all.Love thy enemy as thy friend, right? I think that above all, there is a lack in understanding of how things are supposed to be run, and the way things are run in real life. Oh, one could argue for hours about how the Internet is not a real place, therefore the laws of reality do not exist, but since we're incorporating our rules of society into online communities, why not go the full distance? Wait, I forgot that the internet is ruled by adolescents. There are no adults here, and even if there were, what would they say about our behaviour? Subconsciously, the online community is a getaway from the harsh reality we have to deal with in life. We don't even realize it until it's shoved in our face, like now. So what does this say about the user who comes here on a daily basis? Do they not enjoy the way things are going on the other end? I am not ashamed to say that life is not very enjoyable on my end sometimes, but I'm learning from my mistakes. The point of that is that I have lots of time to learn from my mistakes, but here we only have 3 strikes until you're gone and out for the count. It's a general principle that people adopt as a successful breeding method, but fails in the end. What would happen if real life was like that? My beef... |

Originally posted by neotransotaku But the world isn't like that. People aren't like that. People develop common sense over time, and shouldn't be banned because of their stupidity. Take a look, if you will, at this website. I spent the better part of 2 years there, and if you compare my first posts to my posts today, and watch them over the years, you'll come to realize that unconditioned learning is much easier to bear than outright rejection. At the time I joined, I was pretty much as "Noobish" as you can get. When I gradually moved away from there, I am who I am today. Because I experienced how to survive on the Internet in an unmoderated environment. I think it's better for people's irrational behaviour to be ignored rather than rejected. I'm sure a few psychologists will agree with me when they tell parents to apply this to their childrens erratic behaviour during childhood. And complaining will get you nowhere. I don't expect any of my complaints to be heeded. I just rant because this is my view and I feel it contrasts very much so to the popular belief that the rest of you share. It doesn't matter what belief it is, because that statement applies to anything I rant about. I'm sure it applies to the same meaning for any of you too. |
