Torture for the sake of justice is a self contradictory statement, Mather. And yes, that includes forced lobotomy. Also, I'm fairly certain that there are a fair amount of people out there who would be willing and capable of performing a lobotomy for a price, so if you really hate your emotions, why not look into it? I do not mean this as an insult, merely a query to attempt to fully grasp your reasoning on this subject.

I beg to differ. The potential for improvement granted by desire is several thousand orders of magnitude higher than that granted by natural selection. Take humanity as our prime (And only) example. In our society, natural selection and evolution have all but halted. The gears of progress still turn only because of our emotions and, as a branch of that, our desire. Without them, we'd still be rolling around in the mud to disguise ourselves so we could stab that tasty looking lion with a sharp rock. In fact, that's a bad analogy, because that would imply that we'd have improved even that much. The only reason we are still here is because of desire, in my eyes. The desire to survive, the desire to rule, the desire to feast upon the flesh of the world and make ourselves stronger. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to leave before my opinion decides to wildly fluctuate again, as it does on a near weekly basis.

Natural evolution and will to improve are two completely different things Mather. The prior can only take one so far, the latter is nigh limitless.

Again, I say, without emotion there is no desire. Without desire, progress is an illusion. If there is no emotion, there is no will to improve, there is nothing but an empty box that is to be manipulated by something which is able to feel emotion, to know desire, to have the will to progress. My feelings on the matter are simple. I would want to live forever, but without emotion, everything is meaningless.

I think I had a hacked Pokemon gold cartridge before. It sort of went all wierd but then I stopped playing and lost it. Probably just broken anyway. And Mather, I think you're misguided here. Without emotion, there is no desire. Without desire, there is no progress, and without progress, there is stagnation. Without emotion, mankind cannot even hope that it has purpose, there is nothing keeping anything going, and the march of time all but stops. Emotion is the only thing that seperates us from a machine which is programmed only to die after a certain period of time has passed. Would you like to be a machine, Mather? Would you like to lose your ability to think freely and dream, to become a drone with no purpose but to eventually die?

I would think that feeling anything at all is better than feeling nothing.

Becoming a mindless drone used for experiments or labour is no better than death, in my eyes. Boy, this topic sure is depressing.

But if you commited several murders and you were emotionally incapasitated? Anyways it's kind of funny how you keep using executions in your examples when I'm talking about something else, my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was the last Norwegian headsman. But what you are suggesting is still equivilant. You are removing somebody from the world, and that is no different from murder. The only change is that the body persists in your case.

If you commited a murder, and you were put to death, where is justice? All I see in that scenario is two murderers. If murder is a sin, then commiting murder in retaliation absolutely increases the sin.

That's like two opposing brands displaying advertisments for each other... Again, an established user base means nothing if there is no potential for growth. You are reinforcing my point when you say you're the only one to join, because even if that is false, it still shows that the potential for growth is already severely lackluster.

Advertise with *what* exactly? Tip.it is big because it is associated with a popular game, so it gets advertisment for that. However, you can't advertise a forum on say, google ads (You could, but that would be a silly idea.) and a roleplay forum wouldn't be associated with something which is popular enough to attract active users. Have you any idea how many roleplay, or pseudo-roleplay (Be honest, that's what we are.) forums which only have like, 2 posts a week there are out there? Dozens. Dozens upon dozens upon dozens. And what is going to stop this hypothetical new forum being any different?

The major issue there is the number of members. I can very easily see it as being just us, who will inevitably see that it is going to be just us, and then slowly trickle away and leave a ghost-forum.

People will corrupt a completely democratic system. Don't want to vote for my option? Maybe you'll have an "Unfortunate Accident". I'm not a politiician, and don't claim to know much about it, but I know that system would not work.

A person will always want more than the person next to him. It applies both ways if two people are standing next to each other. Which is why we can't live in a world without a government, as Rocco stated.

Now now, theres no need to start a fight over a simple mistake. Given the track record, it's probably best if you two just ignore each other.

To be fair, symmetry is one of those words that's difficult to get right, like Parallel and a couple of others, and English isn't his first language.

Phew, glad I dropped maths. The maths that I need for physics is easy enough, but when I look at a board full of stuff like SURDs I just end up going "Bwuh..?" and learning nothing.

Bambi stew tonight. I'm not making it this time though. I love fish, too.

There is a point where this has to stop and we have clearly passed it - I'm Ross. Captain Buzzkill, reporting for duty.

Oh yeah, I heard about this. Apparently it's supposed to be pant-crappingly scary and made a friend of mine unable to sleep for several days.

Triple reverse psychology sundae supreme with a cherry on top.

Oh my this is amusing. Reverse psychology appears to be failing.

Didn't we all realise this like, weeks ago?

Wait, what's going on? Why are we suddenly so obsessed with rewriting all the genres?
