Mood: Strangely subdued
Reason: Well, my PC shagged itself and all my files are on it and I need to rescue them somehow. Usually I'd be really angry/depressed but I'm... just not which is odd, considering my years of writing/files collected are on there.
So, because people have a different opinion on things we should completely throw the issue out the window? People might have a different opinion on the standard of punishment but most if not all people believe certain things should be punished.
Robin Hood was a good man, he stole from people...
Perhaps, but there's a difference between tolerating what someone believes and allowing them to believe it without question and thus allowing for the spread of ignorance, which does spread like the plague in todays society (the modern rise in neo-Nazi/Nationalist groups, especially in Europe...
If we don't question the motives of people's beliefs we'd still be in the dark ages. The Age of Enlightenment came from questioning traditional values and beliefs.
No of coarse I'm not saying that, Protestantism came from Catholicism, Sufism from Islam, etc...
Laws legislated against victimless crimes are rubbish. Laws against crimes that contain a victim are just.
People with a conscience. People should be able to keep what they labour for, a thief doesn't produce anything, thus doesn't deserve anything of value, rather he deserves punishment for for...
I guess you're right, I have a terrible tendency to derail any thread towards blatant criticism. Sorry.
It is not my primary objective to "change" his religious belief as such, rather to question his reasoning for believing it.
No, it really isn't. From wikipedia -
Does Deism qualify as...
How am I being intolerant?
That's called Faith. Religion comes from the latin religio which means "to bind", or to bring people together and essentially in modern usage, religion can be any number of things, a political ideology, a movement, etc... Deism doesn't bring people together in any...
They are a strange specimen, and quite hostile certain times of the year. Just make sure you don't look them in the eyes or try to feed them. And if they get angry, contrary to popular belief, make a lot of noise by stamping your feet on the ground or something and it should scare them off.
Please read about Confucian China, Confucianism (although I am partial to many of it's ideals) promotes heavy ancestor worship and loyalty to family and as a result there was an unbelievable amount of abuse within families.
I said ancestor worship was racist, because it is. Where does your...
I honour the great people in the world by remembering them and learning about their achievements. My family came here from Ukraine, could I give a toss? No, sure I respect some of my family members for the hardships they suffered under Stalin and what have you but I respect all the other good...
You're switching between writing in first person present tense and past tense. Write in the past tense-
"The kid held out a blitzball" over "The kid holds out a blitzball"
Also you write the most basic things that happen rather than putting any decent detail into the action or the world...
I'm a Deist. Deism isn't a religion, it's simply the belief in a single God, no more no less. By the general description (not observing the collective nature of modern atheists) of the term is Atheism a religion?
No, if we let people believe what they want without questioning their reasoning...
Sorry your new religion is predominately held by neo-Nazis.
I've always been fascinated by logic (or lack thereof) of ancestor worship, why would you worship some corpse you either never met or didn't do anything which would merit worship?
Although I question the idea of worship all together...
I really wouldn't give a toss, I read more than I play vidya gamz and there's countless wonderful literature that beats terribly written dialogue and pseudo-romance any day.
I for one commend you on your crusade against illiteracy.
I don't own a console because consoles suck noodles (I have owned pretty much every console however).
Anyway, anyone who is whining about FFXIII coming out on 360 is a retard and needs to focus their teenage angst on something slightly more important than their faggoty console war, like...
If there was no objective truth, law would be made illegitimate because the actions legislated as punishable are actually subjective and not evil by any objective standard.
However, there is also a scale to how evil or how good something is.
If a thief steals your money to buy some new...
Korytco, the way you word your sentences is somewhat odd, not bad for sure but just weird, I guess. I'm not sure if you're just a non-native English speaker or you get home schooled by your mum using text books from the 19th century.
