Respectfully if my grandfather was dieing I would not announce it to an online board, but I'm not trying to start a fight, I'm sorry for your loss.

Ok well collecting the thoughts in this thread my character has become Samus as I find her agile and with strong weaponry, only problem is she floats like a brick but I will have to overcome that! Now I must continually practice so I can decapitate Ness :twisted: Any advice for specifically killing Ness? :lol:

ok well 4/10 for continually rating me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

0/10, not suprising as you have 37 posts and only joined two days ago...

Hours of fun :thumbsup:

You said that Simon's daughter will learn her lesson, but she won't as she has no sense of loss. If her father simply laughs it off there is no punishment for her so she will be more likely to do it again. Is Simon putting his daughters happiness over the welfare of the lawnmower or is it because he has the finance not to place the welfare of the lawnmower over his daughter? I thought that was obvious so have I missed the point?

I am saying that people that undergo this surgery are succumbed to a high deal of stress. The operation changes their entire way of life, personality and behaviours obviously such strain on the character could perhaps provoke anger at others around them and lean them more heavily towards suicide as the majority of transexual people have had prior thoughts of suicide. What I am telling you that such a bold and drastic move makes the participant in no doubt a worse situation than they were prior and misplaces their depression. Not because "other people" mock them but because they have an inferiority complex as you (obviously) have to have if you are wanting to alternate everything about yourself through surgery. Consider this, I would rather jump off a bridge than have a sex change. Would you let someone willing to kill themselves have control over their own actions? I don't think so, unless you wanted to see them die (or in this case have surgery). People need proper councelling and personal help otherwise they are wrecking their lives.

How long is the poll staying up because it looks fairly even at the moment...

Copy and paste ftw.

I used to enjoy just building houses but that game has been done to death, as there are far too many expansions.

Well I can't imagine a think by someone wanting a sex change. But that ain't neccesary. I just accept it on the fact that it's a medical condition they're in, and that it can be cured by performing a sex change. It's funny though when I ask you to view some sources and give an answer on a question regarding this subject that you want to cease this debate. I brought suitable arguments against every point you made, most of which you dismissed to be 'off-topic' you cant use your own analogies and dismiss mine as irrelevant. In any case, all you did was give me some titles of a few books on the subject, which I'm willing to bet you havent read. Warrior, just because you have found a "source" does not instantly mean your opinion is greater than mine.

Are you sure? Have you actually read the book? It's hardly "just a series of misdirected anger". It's poorly written, sure, but you can't just run about making generalisations about it based on who wrote it. Blaming the Jews for the loss of the war, denying the fact the war was ever lost are in my view misdirected. I would also appreciate that if you are going to disagree with me you reply to all of my points, not just pick one line out of two paragraphs in an effort to make yourself appear smarter than me.

I have formed my own opinions on the subject, nobody has influenced me. Just through reading this thread have I evaluated my position on the subject. I have read no books on the subject and that is my fault more than anyone elses. In any case I'm going to cease taking part in this debate as I don't think its going anywhere and I'm not going repeat myself again but I can't see anybody ever wanting a sex change, that could be my closed mindness or ignorance or perhaps you put to much reliance on peoples individual opinions. Either way, I don't think there is anything else to discuss here, from me anyway.

Wow you're the most pathetic person I have seen on this forum, not everybody is an insipid stain on this earth like you Kashi. With an opinion like that you must be some kind of degenerate. As seen by your previous posts your opinion is diluted by anger felt towards other people that you know nothing about.

Bit off topic, but have you actually seen his paintings? He wasn't all that bad imo. If you think about it, had he been accepeted at the art academy he applied to, wwII as we know it wouldn't have happened. It's often the small details that decide world history. No it probably would have been the same with or without Hitler. Without Hitler, the nazi party wouldn't have had such a brilliant spokesperson. It's not like you find people who can make a whole nation believe what you think are easy to come by. The Nazi Party could have risen to power still, but using different main propaganda points and such. Without Hitler, it could've taken longer for them to have power, and Japan would've striked first, and it could've been Europe helping America. So I think there would've been differences.(obviously, really) No, Hitler may have been a brilliant spokesperson but so was Goebells and many of the other Nazi's. I said before that only 40% of the country were behind the Nazi's when they rose to power, he hardly united Germany behind him. Hitler didn't really do anything to keep Germany on track that another German leader wouldn't. For example the Autobahns were not started by Hitler, the depression was lifting by the time Hitler came to power. Even Hitler's ambitions in the East were illustrated similarly by the Weimar Government as they had failed to guarantee the Eastern Borders at the Locarno Treaty 1925. Hitler's terrible ideologies are the only things that seperate him from many of the German Leaders prior to him. Which is why it is argued that World War 2 was inevitable as Hitler was just an opportunist, his book Mein Kampf supports this as it just a series of misdirected anger towards people Hitler hated.

Because Patrick is hilarious. 'Is mayonnaise an instrument'?

1/10 :cry:

43,9 % In the last elections. In my eyes that's a good achievment in multiparty elections, no matter what. It gets even better if you look how divided world and Germany were. Blitzkrieg was a super tactic for certain countries and using it wa a great idea. No matter how you see it, look how quickly their first enemies fell. For political murders, they were far more common in the Soviet Union. I don't get your last line "llies went to war with Germany because of the evils of Nazism." Please explain that. A good achievement, correct but many people here seem to be saying that Hitler was the greatest leader ever, 43% isn't much plus he had the S.A going around beating up everybody. You said Blitzkrieg was a super tactic but it simply proved how weak and vulnerable Germany was internally. Many people like to think that the reason Britain and France went to war with Germany because of the Nazi's but Britain especially was quite happy when the Nazi's came to power as Britain was more afraid of communism and it was believed Hitler would help the economy which would benefit Britain's. Its just one of the myths that surrounds this period.

When the Nazi's came to power didn't they only have like 40% of the electorate behind them? Germany was hardly united with Hitler. All that about the Autobahns were not started by Hitler as they were already planned by the previous government. By the time Hitler was in power the depression was lifting so he just got the credit. It was Bruning that got reparations abolished in 1932 before Hitler was in power. Hitler had alot of charisma but his tactics to not make him any different from any other thug such as Mussolini who he idealised. He just quashed and killed anyone in the way. His plans of 'Autarky' completely failed, going to war as shown by Italy and Japan is a great way to unite the country behind you, the 'blitzkreig' or lightning war was designed to avert the eyes of the public from the internal problems in Germany like the fact it had very little resources of its own. In other words Hitler was just an opportunist, the traditionalist view that he was a hell bent maniac bent of destruction is exaggerated, just like the fact the allies went to war with Germany because of the evils of Nazism. If anybody want to know where I got my information from I've read the book Origins of The Second World War by AJP Taylor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJP_Taylor ... ontroversy

How the hell are they a threat to others? Say someone wanting a sex change was seen by a psychologist before they had the op, and she concluded that the best course of action was for them to have a sex change, would you still be against it? What i'm trying to say is, are you against it because you genuinely believe that your idea is better and will help them more, or just because it goes against your ethics and morals, and you are trying to impose those on these people. Because it's coming across like it's the latter, which you're trying to justify with the former. Same question to you, many people here seem to have the whole 'equality', 'left wing' ideals in them which often is a little too idealistic and naive but they maintain them. Assassin and Warrior especially appear to always argue the far 'left wing' case about everything. Me however, I'm more diverse I'm not really overly right wing (I'm not racist etc) or anything like that but have a balanced amount of opinion which is the best way to be.

Just wondering about the poll, shouldn't the 'don't care' category and 'leave as it is' be the same thing? If someone truly didn't care, they wouldn't vote :-s

Bauke you don't appear to have any evidence to support what you are saying, neither do any of you. What makes you all think so *strongly* that these people are born in the wrong bodies? I'll give you a news flash, some people are peculiar they have mental problems probably to do with an unhappy childhood that has aroused great depression and confusion within them. Now depression can be fixed with various drugs and counselling, these people don't really want a sex change, they just think it will cure them, when in reality it does not. For example many of you have said that it is creepy or weird, I'm confident that through having a sex change you become much more of an outsider so it infact does not fix any problems. Many people here appear to have a very Liberal attitude (this isn't a bad thing) however some people cannot be trusted to make decisions on there own you need to understand that. Do we let people with difficult medical decisions choose whether or not they need help? Not everybody should be allowed free will if they are threat to themselves and others.

Abyssal Whip you don't need to announce it to the board, we all know its true, but its good of you to admit it.
