UK Moving In The Right Direction - Religious 'Marriages' For Gay Couples
Thats a touchy subject, as it's based solely on opinon. There's no definite timeframe as to when the first people tied the knot, stomped the glass, etc. So it's pretty much based on your worldview, if you're anti religion you're going to say it's purely legal. But if you're pro religion, you're gonna say its not only legal, but a spiritual binding and covenant with God. (As does my religion believe) But the religion supports gay marriage. (Mine) HOw do I know? Well. I'm gay. I'm Christian, and I believe God wants us gays to be just as happy married or not as our straight/bi brothers and sisters. but I'm rushing this post if you can't tell. i gtg work. But the whole premise is based on opinion, in my opinion. :XD:

EU to ban construction of normal housing by 2020
1) I mean I guess its just opinion. I never saw the big deal in global warming, because i don't think its fair. 2) I don't blame you for asking me that XD all my mom watches is glenn beck. well, now she cut off tv so she watches none. And I really got my information from numerous places, I probably couldn't list them for you =\ 3) In that sense I do agree that we should stop with oil.. And I think at the very end if cap and trade is the only answer I will consent, but I'm sure we can try other ways to reduce our oil use. 4) I acutally took that into consideration, and usually I am for the greater good. I guess I just don't see the greater good and thats that. :XD: 5)touché

Yea. you're right. and what the [bleep]? Black people wanna be called american? Their skin is black. they are obviously african. why not call them african and not american as long as they have the same rights. (I'm referring to nationality, not ethnicity) That is completely and utterly irrelevant. What is with the obsession with the word "marriage"? Is "civil partnership" so utterly unacceptable that you need to continue to fight so that you can change a few letters? I_Goddess_I had a quote in her signature for a while - "You give me some scenarios that you can live with, and I choose the one that I can live with." Or something to that effect. Some scenarios the religious nuts can live with include, gays not getting married at all and gays being allowed to have "civil partnerships" which are identical to marriage. If you aren't willing to make a compromise then that's your problem. Its actually not irrelevant. The reason I chose race, is because both race and sexual orientation are unchangeable, and innate. And the point is we don't NEED to compromise. We shouldn't have to. Compromise isn't always the answer.

(I'm referring to nationality, not ethnicity) Also, the majority of people I know have amazing marriages. As much as I hate my parents, I must applaud them, they've gotten into fights nonstop, but they've never considered divorce. Not once. Because they made sure they were in love before they married. Something "50%" of people don't do. If you catch my drift.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
Hehe i'm pretty sure most are. Confession: I once tried to kill my family. regret: It didn't work Secret:I was 10 and dropped an entire bottle of tylenol into the pancake mix. Rofl. I had no idea it was bad, my sister wanted to put breath mints in the cake mix. She left and I wasn't looking and somehow got the bottles confused >.> rofl. I was too scared to tell them. So they all got headaches later on. lmao. I was non malicious, however I kinda wished it worked now.

8 Things Gay People Can't Do
this never made sense to me. just because someone is gay doesn't take away their rights that i have It does though. Read the link in the first post. Heh very trueeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Also, being gay raises more problems than just legal. Gay teens (such as myself >.>) face extreme social isolation during their high school years, when most teens learn social skills. And as posted somewhere else, unlike racism, where lets say a black teen is called the N word, he can go home and unload his/her feelings on their parents, and they will understand. But unless a gay kid is extremely blessed to have gay parents as well, they either cannot go home and mention any of it, or even if they do, and the parents are ok with gays, they themselves will never fully understand. And communication is vital to the human race, and it's hard when we cannot fully communicate our feelings to the general populace because they simply cannot comprehend. Also, just two neighborhoods away, a gay young adult had his car smashed in, all the windows etc, with a flaccid penis and the word [bleep] spray painted all over it. Though I didn't know him personally, this is an outrage. And to be honest, THIS needs to be taken care of before the legal rights, because dehumanizing gay men and women is an egregious outrage. And many don't care, even some gay men and lesbian women don't realize how bad it is. Just my twenty cents

Of course, even though I supported passage of the health care bill, it doesn't mean I think it made sense; it would have been cheaper and better to extend Medicare to everyone, and allow the government to negotiate drug prices and import drugs from other countries. Big Pharma, doctors and medical equipment providers would not allow that to happen, so I had to take a half of a loaf: attack the insurance companies first with a bungled up health care bill that helps 30 million people. To wit, cap and trade is in the same caliber, but not quite as bad. A carbon tax makes much more sense, and most economists agree. Cap and trade, however, is the only way, politically feasible way, to place a price on carbon. And, theoretically and practically, it can and has worked. So, what are your misgivings with cap and trade, and why do you think it doesn't make any sense? Just a note, Kerry and Lieberman's American Power Act does more at a lower cost than anything the Republicans have put up to the table (it was the Graham-Kerry-Lieberman legislation, until Graham withdrew support from a bill that he wrote); not to mention that cap and trade was the old Republican position, and Democrats used to support a carbon tax. Because its based on the idea that global warming is a very real thing that will kill all of us. That is plain foolhardy, and a slippery slope. Remember climategate? Most of the facts were faked. And because cap and trade isn't needed. And thats the MAIN problem I have with these types of gov'ts is they try to pass laws that aren't needed. And I realllllly dislike that. I honestly do think the gov't should really just stay the crap outta my life. It might not be the most sensible or logical principle, but that is mainly the core value as to which I base a lot of my anti obama ideas on.

don't ever call me ignorant again. Yes I'm OBVIOUSLY aware of the few churches that have stayed true. When I say the Christian church I mean the obviously americanized Christian church/Catholics etc. I understand AND appreciate the Coptic (sp) Christians, the underground churches in China etc, and the one you speak about. And it's pretty much generally accepted that when someone says the Christian church, they are referring to the main ones generally accepted by the public. FOR EXAMPLE: Catholics. Baptists. Presbyterians. Methodists. Quakers. Amish. Lutherans etc. If you really want to take my post down to the semantics then yes TECHNICALLY I said the Church, which should include all of it. But I think we all know what we were talking about. Also, you don't know what I know. None of you do. I don't share with this forum 90% of the crap I know. Don't assume I'm an idiot since I troll the vast majority of the time, I'm more intelligent than most here think I am. I have studied many different religions, and sects of Christianity. BUT I WAS REFERRING TO MAINLY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE OTHER BIG CHURCHES. And no offence, but you can't consider the Maronites to be a big church to the human race. Now I'm not flaming when I say that, and I don't mean it can't have a big influence. But if you went and asked 1,000 people in Europe/America to name some primary Christian Churches, the Maronites wouldn't be listed. The ones listed were the ones I was referring to, and I think you knew that. I hate the word ignorant goddamnit. Everyone misuses it on this forum so [bleep]ing much. Also: Shadowfax: Gl man. Thats all I gotta say. Side note: Fakeit2makeit, I read the post I just posted and I know I sound like I'm raging/flaming you, but I'm not. I just get extremely frustrated when people misconstrue my meanings. (A particular weakness of mine >.>) And I do respect your opinion on many things, but I think we all knew I was talking about the westernized version of Christianity.

Yes, but just because a definition exists doesn't mean it will always make sense in any given situation.

Cap and trade is the most idiotic bill I've ever seen. Even the healthcare [bleep] bill made some sense in an idealistic train of thought. But cap and trade is [bleep]ing [developmentally delayed]ed. Pardon the language.

Why is that? Because RS is nerdy as freaking hell. Dragons? Swords? MAgics? Potions? Wizards? Monsters with nerdy names like "Bork" (dork) "Mahjarrat" (or w/e). Also, EXPERIENCE. (The word itself) Herblore? Runecrafting? Nerd territory. So nerds can't be gay? I know some pretty cool people who played rs, I think it's a little unfair to generalize. I was actually going to include that in my post. There are a lot more gay geeks and nerds than most people think, and a lot more gay jocks as well. But the general stereotype is this a label [bleep] wearing prada glasses and unnecessarily expensive clothes while being a douchebag and whining and texting and screaming all the time. You wouldn't imagine them saying "ooooooooooooooooooooh my gawd! a draconic visage! now i can get the experience to raise my level to 98 herblaw to make extreme mana potions!" I agree. Not letting gays actually marry isn't unlike classifying them as second class citizens when it comes to marriage. That's gay oppression, the way I see it. no no disagree with me PLEASE. I wanna debate. But yes I agree XD

from where i'm sitting i can't see which one is more brain dead... why exactly do you even follow the church? you're free to believe in a god without following a religion Wait what. I'm not brain dead :( I dislike the church because from *my personal experience* its more of a political tool, it always has been. Ever since a few years after Jesus was crucified. If they would just teach WHAT WAS IN THE BIBLE I highly doubt there'd still be so much animosity towards us. (us as in Christians that is) But I've not been to Church in maybe a year, and despite a severe language problem I have (which I'm trying to get under control....) I'm a pretty decent Christian. Thats subjective of course. And no Shadow, the idea is the God is the religion, so I think you meant to say I can believe in God, and not follow the Church. In that case I whole heartedly agree. OT: I don't like civil partnerships. No matter if they have exactly the same benefits. I want a marriage and thats that. I tend to compromise a lot of my beliefs (except for Religion) but this one I won't. But if anyone feels different I'm in a debating mood :D

Who me? We're more common than you think. The church is simply brain dead, it has been for about 1900 years or so. Its why I hate going there. edit: i agree with paw. We won't CANT be contained in one thread. heh, heh.

Today...
I worked a scheduled similar at one point. I don't get burnt out, thats just me personally. Some people just don't burn out. I was just pissed I had to go back to work already, but I was never "so tired i couldn't get outta bed" or anything. But then again, I'm a very high energy person... If only I could put it to good use.

10m to invest, but on what?

Dagannoths
if you're afraid of dagganoths rushing just bring armor to make a cushion but if you want a better suggestion try skipping tasks until your aggression is more than dagganoths melee opression. However in your case I wouldn't hold fear Most dagganoths are so weak they like queers However if you bring a cannon keep your computer near Or else they might slaughter you like a dead deer i hope i helped with this advice of mine maybe you can be like me and just pantomime but as long as your brain isn't asinine chin up :) you should do just fine
