Saw this on the nytimes. I think this is great for getting people involved; however, it'd have more utility if it gave a general description of how your choices might impact our economy/standard of living/foreign relations/etc.... I mean you can just slash spending and raise taxes without...

Advent Children Complete O.O I've never even heard of this before. Time to downlo....*cough* *cough*...purchase it and watch it asap. Thank you thread :)

Well...in the USA you can burn the American flag on 4th of July and the gov't can't say boo (1st Amendment right). A lot of enforcement authorities did feel similar to how you do and arrested them anyway. Naturally, they got released. It seems like we just differ on what the boundary of free...

You see, even if you may disagree with this and find it repulsive, one of the underpinnings of a liberal society is to allow all forms of opinions to circulate through our community. Of course there are limits in extraordinary cases; however, just because something is distasteful or "stupid"...

I never really used Aeris in my party so I have no clue as to what her limit break looks like; however, angels are prevalent in Judaism as well. As for the word gospel, as ordinary vernacular we call M,M,L,J as the four gospels; however, the word "gospel" in it of itself is a reference to the...

Jenova is a perverted form a Jehova, so it's a distorted version of god which perfectly fits Jenova of the game. I mean Jenova is basically a deity in the game that brings great destruction upon earth. Hebrew is a Jewish language, well at least from a cultural aspect. The promised land is the...

I'd put heavier weight on her following some form of Judaism rather than Christianity if we were to relate some of the overarching themes that were used in the game. Sephiroth means "tree of life" in Judaism and is the pathway to God. Jenova is pretty much Jehovah (or Yahweh depends on how you...

:/ Anything is possible. But when people are talking about solutions, you have to put them in perspective of what could actually be implemented in the world we're living in today. Not some alternate dimension where all the people magically unify toward some random view that doesn't reflect...

Not necessarily true. I'm not too familiar with the governmental structure of England, but if Congress or the state legislature in the USA passed a bill or law that pretty much silenced protesters like this...it would quickly get killed by the judiciary (or more specifically the SCOTUS) as...

Pretty reckless for a 26-year old, even moreso since he's just bashing on his religion. But he must've been trapped in an irreconcilable situation since his father's a Muslim scholar and all. Also his liberal way of thinking is just one of the many things that Islamic communites generally find...

Sounds a bit cliche to be honest. Why don't you two choose a specific symbol or design that represents your relationship, then put that tattoo on each other rather than your guys' names? It's probably just me, but names and words aren't really worth being put on your body. The only exception...

Probably a little too late now, but keep a journal w/ regard to what she says, her actions, and anything really out of the norm. Then when you go see the doctor or get her evaluated by a psych, the notes will help with the diagnosis. There's really nothing that you can do at this point...this...

I recognize that I have some bias when it comes to preferential treatment towards women. I've been slapped by a girl before, and I didn't do shit...I didn't even think about hitting her back. Now I've never been slapped by a guy, but if that happened I'm sure I would be less reserved as to any...

I don't know about you, but I prefer people overthinking about something rather than underthinking. I do believe that some things are pretty impractical or useless to think about (a lot of philosophical problems out there are just moot to focus upon imo), but I could be wrong. I just read over...

There is a mix of truth and falsity in a lot of popular beliefs out there. But you shouldn't really take'em at face value anyway. For the cold: Studies have shown that when your body has been subjected to sub-normal temperatures for extended periods of time, your immune system is suppressed so...

[Never done RP before, might as well give it a go] Name: Grey Age [appearance]: 27 Actual Age: Unknown Appearance: Worn and tired, his appearance betrays his given age. His dress is fairly unimpressive from the leather boots to the brown overcoat he loosely wears on his broad shoulders...

For me, I generally feel older when comparing the general mentality of those around me with myself. I believe everyone goes through stages of personal development, and when you can look at someone and fully understand his/her perspective by looking into your past experiences, then you could say...

VI: The main storyline wasn't that great, but being able to integrate all 20 some character's story in the process was good. A little limited by the SNES though :( VII: Good story...but started to fail for me when Sephiroth's final plan was revealed. That was like foreplay then blueballs. Damn...

I disagree with this. Girls are a big part of a guy's life when growing up. I actually am a bit regretful that I didn't do more to actually have fun and focused a bit too much on academics in highschool. I had a couple gfs in hs, and dating and relationships seemed to be a lot more enjoyable...

No...all you can take from what I said is that if I were a girl I wouldn't pump hormones into my body. It's more of an idiosyncratic preference for my aversion to popping pills rather than saying it's a guy thing. I'm sure guys left and right will be willing to take man-birth-control. Plus...
