| Sky: I don't know how long it's been here, but it was here when I got here that's all I care about.
Sky finished his Guinness, ordered a White Russian, and turned to Anya. Sky: Moving on really is the key, though. Much as I liked the past, the fact is, if it was the same as when I left, chances are the same problems would be here too. Free booze is forever, though. |

I did read the quote...and all I really got out of it was what I was responding to  |

| Smoking sucks, I really hate it. If people want to smoke, though, let them. The caveat to that, though, is that I don't want them to smoke when they're near me (or anyone else it bothers). | |||

| Your responses would probably be a lot more respectable if you weren't so obviously motivated by a desire to just attack Catholicism, if you had approached it on a more objective grounds. As it is, you just seem to have a really negative agenda that distorts any facts you attempt to use. | |||

| I've always found Silvershield to be rather open-minded when it comes to general discussions, even on religion. As for your motivations, it's not really an assumption when you make it abundantly clear that you have a rather negative agenda. | |||

| Nijote had, in fact, reached the distance behind the horse that Nova had been occupying for a little bit now. As the sabrecat ran along, the rogue turned to her.
Nova: Exactly. Glad you're here, though, I was wondering myself what to do and those clowns back there probably wouldn't be much help. If we don't want to wait for him to stop, we could always do a coordinated attack. Since you don't seem much able to save anyway, why don't you do the killing and I'll get the girl? |

| Well that's basically because the Catholic Church hasn't really been treating women badly over the years. I'm not saying it's been great for women, but that's been just as true, if not more true, in societies in which the Catholic Church has little to no power.
And I hate to be on the attack, but since you press the point, I feel I must. At least we never endorsed polygamy. |

| That can certainly be allowed. I would imagine that everyone who hasn't noticed the event on the calendar will be incredibly confused, particularly the folks in the rom hacking community, which seems even more separate than it did before I left. | |||

| Sky clinked glasses with Anya and took a sip, and then turned to the bouncer.
Sky: No, James, it's alright, he's cool, he's with me. Probably just an oversight. |

| Having spoken with manda on the subject of you (or rather, had her say quite a bit on the subject of you while I didn't say much at all) quite a bit while I was at the boards before, and even for a time after that...
... ... ... ...no comment. |

| I think one of the big issues that comes up is feasibility of acting on those fantasies. If you fantasize about Brad Pitt, well, chances are that's not going to happen. If you fantasize about the guy next door, well, I'm assuming here, probably safely, that you wouldn't actually go with it...but maybe you could. And that's a big part of it right there.
If you can't control it, no need to feel guilty about it; our dreams are not really ours to consciously control. If you find yourself trying to recreate that situation while awake or thinking about it before you sleep hoping for it again, that's another thing. Is it "wrong" to consciously fantasize about another person than the one you're with? I'm not sure. It's likely not going to be healthy for the relationship with the person you're with OR the other person, even if you think you have it completely under control; our emotions can do tricky things. Sometimes, though, it can be completely benign. Still, it's probably best to avoid it, even if it's not really "wrong" which is something that I'm currently out on. |

| Nova: Sounds like a decent plan. Wouldn't want him leading us into an ambush or anything.
At that, Nova swung the sabrecat around to the other side to cut off the kidnapper's escape. The rear would be covered by the milk brigade, the rogue figured. |

| Cassandra: I generally just go by Cassie, but my birth name is Cassandra Relawna Gadrian.
**** Sky takes a swig from the canteen and tosses it back to pitch Sky: Kind of funny how I came here to fight the guy and ended up leaving with his gratitude. Just point out the way the others went and I'll be on my way. Since you seem to be the only one of the gang around, you can come along if you want; we've got a decent group already. |

| So ever since I saw that, I've been wondering...why is he banned until a nonexistent day, one that is so far off the calendar that it's not even close to it, unlike, say, April 31st, which at least sounds like it could exist. | |||

| Sky: Oh, he's not MY bouncer, I just know him, isn't that right?
James: This guy saved my ass one time when I fell out of a window after a nasty fight at the club where I served as a bouncer before. |

| Even if they're very different games, they were made by the same studio, and largely with the same philosophy of making a game very different from other games, in their own particular style. They're two ways of showing some of the same principles, even if they come out very differently. At least, that's what I've been told. I need to play SotC. | |||

| This will probably take more energy to research and put into production than they'll get out of it, as with most alternative forms of energy.
But I hope I'm wrong. |

| Even if you don't let something slip, I think that psychologically speaking you might, even as a very stable person, be affected by the fantasy.
While it's much more pronounced in children, to some extent adults can have difficulty separating their feelings for something that isn't actually happening from what is actually the case. It's largely through this that people can be immensely sad for a while after seeing completely fictional movies. If you fantasize about a person, even if you don't act on it, you will begin at some level to associate these fantasies with that person. That will often be fine, but if you persist in the fantasy, it could become stronger, such that it may serve to make you feel less interested in the person you're with, even if you don't think about it much, just because your mind is associating pleasure with the other person rather than the one you're with. Again, this is something of an extreme case among responsible adults, but it's certainly not out of the ordinary. I'm sure you've likely found yourself somewhat annoyed at a person even when they've not done anything to you, if they had done so in a dream, only to realize that and be fine. The problem comes if something like that persists, as it may very well do in fantasy. It's not likely to be anything major, but even small things can be magnified over time to eat away at what could otherwise be a healthy relationship. Wrong? Nah, probably not, if you're not going to act on it. Healthy? I have to say, probably not...I'd say watch it, but some of these effects may be a bit too subtle to catch. Overall, I would recommend against actively fantasizing about people you're likely to interact with. |

| One of the big problems with that is what objectivity is. Since we naturally bring a bias to the table of some sort, who is to judge what is "objective" in all of that?
I realize what you're trying to get at, and I agree. I think some objective truth certainly exists, but it's very hard to know exactly what it is. |
