Yeah, they do actually. Ever had a pet cat? They claw at nearly anything that moves. I saw my cats kill several animals without eating them too so don't say it's just for survival. URP DERP DERP

That's defeating your own argument. Animals make other animals suffer all the time. If we're the same as them, then doesn't that mean it's no different when a human makes an animal suffer than when an animal does it?

Jeans and band T's. I really don't care about clothes. I do like putting on fresh pairs of socks though.

While I think it's sadistic to torture animals for the hell of it, I think there's nothing wrong with using them as a food source. Most of them would do the same to us if the opportunity arose - it's just the circle of life.

If you are truly confident, then you shouldn't be so obsessed with trying to be cool. Not caring about being cool is cool within itself.

Actually I don't think marriage has ever been very sacred. Parents would force their kids to marry people who they might not even know just for money, power, continuing family trees, etc. And as stated, even today marriage is suffering since the divorce rates are so enormous. So yeah, the argument that homosexual marriage ruins the "sanctity" is a laughable one. It's better to have two men that love each other than a man and woman who don't love each other.

Bush - Everything Zen Awesome song.

It's really just the way he worded things: why would ANYONE choose to be something that can make life harder due to discriminations etc? In the context of your story, it would be pretty hard to believe someone would willingly choose to put up with all the hardships you have to face on a daily basis. However, there are many cases where people do choose to be something that makes life harder due to discrimination (think of religion).

Superhero Movie It was surprisingly pretty funny. I heard it got a lot of bad reviews, but I thought it was alright.

PeeeeeSeeeeee Ha, this piece of crap can't even run Runescape HD. Besides, I want to get an Xbox360 eventually anyways.

I started a character on Dungeons and Dragons Online. It works pretty much exactly like WoW, but the characters have more depth to them and the game isn't all about combat. You're forced to quest in order to advance your character instead of just grinding. I gotta say, I like it much more than WoW.

I'm looking forward to playing it. Too bad I don't even have an Xbox360. I'll have to wait until I go to my friend's house. It looks really fun though. Nice. :smile:

All the Irons, Steels, and Blacks I killed... and no visage. :( What a waste of my time. I should have been less optimistic - I would have had lots of extra time to train my stats.

:thumbup: I don't understand the hype about RSC. Oh wait, yes I do - nostalgia is eating away at your brains!

What difference does it make if we allow more relationships to have the opportunity to suck? I'll be waiting for an answer society.

Okay, so let me get this straight. You've heard this from several homophobic people? "Having anal sex is not manly." "Taking pain is always manly, no matter what the context." I will say that homophobes can be pretty irrational people, but come on. Homophobes believing that women who have anal sex and give birth are "manly"? I mean, why would they even specify that they meant every single painful context? And if they did, how would they not catch on to the obvious contradiction? Sorry, but it just doesn't add up. I guess it is possible that homophobes have admitted those exact words in black in white to you, but it could also be that there is conflict of interest here, and that you want to put words in their mouth to make them look even more stupid, or that you just simply misinterpreted what they said.

Have you really met people who said, "Every form of taking pain is manly," or are you just inferring this based off their stereotypes that soldiers, firemen, boxers, etc. are all manly because they're not afraid of taking pain?

Where do you get this from? Nobody says that taking pain, no matter what the context, is always manly.

How am I missing your point? Your point: People who think gay sex is not manly also think that taking pain is manly, which means they actually think gay sex is manly. My dispute: I don't understand where you're getting this "Pain always equals manliness" thing from. No one is saying that. Yes, part of it might be taking pain - being courageous and whatnot is considered manly, but there are situations of taking pain that are not manly at all, such as giving birth. The definition of manly is simply this: Having qualities traditionally attributed to a man. Dominance is traditionally attributed to men. Enduring pain in the context of being brave and heroic (not being dominated - that is attributed to women) is traditionally attributed to men. What you are essentially saying here is that homophobes think giving birth is manly because it involves taking pain.

Who says that taking pain is purely a masculine attribute? It can be considered manly in the right context, such as rescuing a fellow soldier at the risk of getting shot. However, there are some actions that can be very painful but they still shouldn't be considered "manly". Suicide should be a good example. Yeah, you might be enduring the pain of having blood leak out of your wrists, but then again it's not very manly to give up on life. Giving birth is painful, but far from "manly". Anal sex is sort of in the same boat if you ask me. It might hurt, but it also means to get dominated - which is quite the opposite of "manly". When a gay man receives anal sex, he is taking the female's traditional role of being submissive. I guess you could argue that the person giving is more manly than the person receiving though.

Are girls who tried anal more manly than straight guys then? I don't think willingness to take pain has anything to do with manliness. Now, I guess you could say that a cowardly soldier who is too afraid to do anything during a battle isn't very manly. But as for having painful gay sex, the reason a man would opt out of having it isn't because he's afraid of taking pain - it's because he's straight.

Saving Private Ryan Great movie. :)

Black Sheep It was so cheesy and weird. I enjoyed it though - especially the gory parts. :D I just think that the action-packed ending wasn't very fitting for a movie about weed. Overall, I agree that it was a good movie, so I'll give it a thumbs up as well. :thumbup:
