[rationalise/analyse/moralise]

Sometimes there are no explainations and we should just enjoy our lives without needing to rationalise/analyse/moralise all the time.

DG, I once took you as a silly prohpet, whom I could rely on for wit and wisdom, but now I see that I cannot, for I spell "realize" with a 'Z', much like I would spell rationalize,analyze, and moralize.  What a harsh world we live in.

In Australia, we spell it "phofet".

Did you know Jesus rode a Harley?

So what if I'm 16, does that take away from me the right to express my opinion? I try to get in a conversation and all I get is Christian haters telling me not to be hateful, rude people telling me to be smarter. I'd nominate DG for the "respect thy neighbor" prize if there was such thing.

Chill out, man. I wasn't saying, "You're not allowed to express your opinion cause you're 16 and I'm a Nazi". I was saying, "Hey, maybe you haven't thought this through enough." As for mentioning your age, I just found humourous that a 16 year old could give such a definate answer when people of greater experience have spent many, many years researching the same thing. So, you don't have to get defensive and start calling me a Christian Hater. Just take a deep breath, think about your original post a little more, and move on.

And I do respect my neighbour. He just bought a new motorbike. He's pretty awesome.

I like to think of things as one step further than "sex for the sake of sex" to the point of "sometimes nature just does crazy things which no one can explain". And I think the problem for a lot of people, whether from a scientific, religious, or any analytical background, is that they need explainations for everything.

If nature made sex unpleasent, nobody would have children :. Just think of that

Wow! So nature just woke up one day and decided to make sex pleasant. That was sure kind of nature. It's just a shame nature didn't make my flu vaccines pleasant. My doctor keeps telling me they'll do me good in the end, but I think he's lying cause they hurt like buggery. Score one for my doctor, score one less for nature.

As yes, nature made sex pleasant so we'd keep doing it and have children. Interesting view. A purpose for everything in life. I guess that means the only reason nature created hurricanes and tornados was to keep the human population down and maybe some extreme kite flying.

"Dude, check out the gusts I'm getting! NATURE IS AWESOME! Whoops, that cyclone just killed me! NATURE IS BOGUS!"

I'm glad that a 16 year-old can explain the great mysteries of nature with such simple explanations, cause these questions have been bugging scientists and philosphers for centuries. Come next Nobel prize time, I'm nominating Guybrush Peepwood for science!

And that's all I have to say in this thread.

I don't follow Christianity or Catholicism or anything like that, but I'd like to believe that if there is a God, he wouldn't send someone to hell purely on the basis of who he or she has sex with. I'm pretty sure that if you're a good, kind, and honest person, God looks past your "sins".

And that's all I have to say in this thread.

Adaptations of King Lear often suffer. Alot of the dialogue and soliliquising is needed in the theatre to communicate something that can easily be communicated by the language of film, but some adaptations seem to retain it, and when you do that it comes at the expense of the brilliant writing that is still necessary.

Did you think Kurosawa's Ran suffered in this respect? I thought it kept a fine balance between the cinematics and Kurosawa's dialogue while still retaining this overall feel of the original play.

I like the box art:

In that case, your computer is broken. Buy a new computer.

Oh, and George Michael can turn anyone gay, dont deny it.....

Yeah, he wakes me up before I go-go!

Have a subtle homo-erotic play on words:

RRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.............................(sound of fist hitting monitor) Oh jesus that hurt! I'll be a while fixing up my hand, see ya............

Matchew makes a very persuasive argument. I would like to subscribe to his magazine/newsletter one day.

Are you using any download accelerators like GetRight or other GetRight-y-like programs? HOTU doesn't seem to like them much.

Daniel, if I remember well, the flamessellPcboy Yufster made a passionate deffense of the gay marriage and Peter Thomas deffended the oposite.

It's was a joke.

I think people should remember this so that next time I say something, they realize I am probably right.

I don't recall you telling us Peter Thomas was gay. Maybe I just missed the post you mentioned it in.

It's legal.
I asked a friend who does busness law, and a co-worker who downloads indian movies.
They said the same thing. "It's legal."

I havn't seen tokio godfather because they don't sell much anime  in the Netherlands. :    (

And on what basis did your business law friend say it's legal? Which part of the law did he cite? C'mon, you've just asked me to provide cases, but you've provided zilch, buddy. Other than some mystical business law friend (who possibly lives with the Easter bunny) who just said "It's legal" without any basis.

Go on, back up your claims.

As for your friend who downloads Indian movies, I don't give much credit to him since he's technically doing something illegal and trying to justify it with imaginary loopholes, just like people who download anime.

It's just a joke I got from another forum. It's not actually referencing anything. It's just a funny (if sarcastic) way of saying, "Well, there you have it".

Also, Christian or not, don't you think it's a little much to assume what God intended for man. I mean, I don't want to get too much into the philosphical nature of God, but he did give man free will so who's to say what God intended for man. I mean, to say that God is testing our faith by putting the possibility of homosexuality into our existence while giving us free will seems to me like... well... God is screwing with our minds.
