I'll take that as a challenge. ;) And I hold to my word. Am I the most annoying mod yet?

I've merged both the new and the old threads so everyone can be happy now. ;) I'm unemployed at the moment, maybe I'll get a small job for the holidays.

As much as I love Chrono Trigger, the topic should still be in this forum. Moved.

I'll take that as a challenge. ;)

Reading my post again I realise I might have insulted some Crewbies. I thus take back my former statement on Crewbies, and publicly apologise for my conduct.

Yeah, coming back to the original thread, I just 'stumbled upon' this small text. It's no religious essay and no scientific article, just a girl explaining a point of view. It might be useful for the thread, you guys should really stop arguing about semantics, the validity of religious morals and more about the morals themselves. ;) [Full Link] [hide=Cut version]As a hetero girl raised in the church and brought up side by side with the kind of mentality that led to YES on 8!, I want to talk about the other side of the coin. I want you to understand that they dont hate you, they just dont understand. They are scared. They are seeing their kids being raised in a world full of things that they dont want their kids exposed to. And as they see their kids being pulled away from them into this huge and frightening world (this world some may see as their enemy) they struggle for any way they can maintain their control and influence. So when someone tells them that their kid may be taught that marriage is between any two consenting adults and that some men want to marry other men, they worry. Its not that they hate any single gay person, honestly- they are just concerned about an entire world that is full of things they dont agree with. A world that often treats them as ignorant imbeciles, a world that portrays them as buck toothed hicks with a gun and a battered Bible, a world that acts as if they are nothing but watered-down Nazis. A lot of these people are good loving people with only the best of intentions. They just dont want other people acting like they have a right or obligation to enlighten them or their children, they dont like being patronized, and honestly a lot of times they allow themselves to be manipulated by people with worse intentions than they have. And they are scared. Because its frightening, as a parent, when you realize that your kid may grow to hate everything you hold dear. Its hard to bear when you realize that you are no longer the source of their knowledge and security. So please- dont be tempted into using the same sort of hateful and judgemental language that some are accusing the other side of using. Dont speak in broad terms that are cruel to decent people. Perfect love casts out all fear.[/hide] I personally value the personal liberties of people highly (i.e. until there's a conflict with other's rights), I see no problem on allowing homosexual marriages because there is no harm done in there. As far as I know, there are differences between simple marriage and civil union, and bans on it will only increase inequality and prejudice. Sure, allow churches to have their own preferences when marrying people. But allow state marriages that hold the same benefits as a religious marriage and that don't enforce this discrimination. The same would go for schools.

See? Crewbs are nothing but wanna-be mods. ;)

I'd really want to let you guys reach higher numbers. Really. But I can't stand when another mods reset your count, so I have to make sure I do it.

Heh, the issue is determining if it is technically "born" and if it is capable to think. We don't know that. Well, most people think with their brain, and it's also from the brain that the feelings come. So, it'd be safe to assume abortion is moral at least until the embryo has developed a nervous system, isn't it?

You got it. Cleopatra is merely an expansion to Pharaoh anyway.

A pretty old game here for you:

There're already two threads discussing this, there's no need for a third one. ~Locked.

I'll say Heroes of Might and Magic V?

You had to break that nice comment-less count, didn't you?

My my. Aren't you a clever guy?

Oh, I found it!

By the way, what are the reasons of having the electoral college system instead of a One-person-one-vote system? I'd suppose it'd have some deep historical background.

There are certain places where a risqué joke might be "funny", and other places where it's simply inappropriate. Let's keep this topic clean of stupid humour. -BTW, this isn't directed to you, Lenticular.

I am, though.

Anyway, the Search function is still there, and there's no need no start flaming. Locked.

There's a point where all personal freedoms cease, and it's where they collide with other people's freedoms. Non-vaccinated people may later become vectors of the disease and help it expand, especially harming others who might have not been vaccinated yet -like the case of young children. Personal freedom must have its limits for the sake of society.

Nobody will ever know the true nature of a mod.

There's already such a thread, and Ugozima helpfully posted the link. Locked.

Well, it shouldn't.

Not really, Forum Games does not add to your post count. Any other questions?
