The day having sex with children becomes socially and legally acceptable will be a very scary day indeed.  And I hope my children are grown up when it comes.

Just as we know now that it isn't possible to condition gay people so that they are "cured", I feel paedophila may also be a sexual preference that one cannot be talked out of by a counselor.

Maybe not, but they can certainly be encouraged to admit they have such urges so that they may be prevented from the possibility of taking them too a criminal level.

I like your idea, but each box only have two variables.  On or off.  Checked or unchecked.  With 12 boxes that gives you 4096 possible outcomes.

Take a regular alpha-numerical CAPTCHA with, say, eight characters... each character has 36 variables to choose from (26 letters, 10 digits), which gives you a whopping 2821109907456 possible outcomes.

I don't know if that really means yours would be any easier to crack, but when you see that number the alpha-numeric one certainly sounds a lot safer... hehe

Read the whole thread, mate.

I'm not talking about thoughtcrime.  I'm talking about nipping potential child molesters in the bud.

If someone wants to fantasize about kids, go for it, but the day they start feeling the urge to touch one for real i urge them to go and see someone about it.  It could save a child's life.

[fuck me we just had a earthquake]

I'm not talking about executing potential paedophiles, I'm talkking bout taking magazines with  children in off of the shelves of porno shops.

You've done it again, taken one sentence from my entire post and taken it totally out of context.  You keep doing this even though you know full well the point I'm making.  You don't have to agree with everything I say, but at least look at my posts in their entirety.

And why has everybody started comparing paedophilia to homosexuality.  The two are completely different.

Homosexuality is a simple sexual preference.

Paedophilia is a '-philia'... by definition, a '-philia' is an unhealthy and irrational obsession. (Wiktionary say's "a psychological disorder characterized by an irrational favorable disposition towards something").

By definition, Paedophilia is a psychological disorder characterized by an irrational favorable disposition towards children.   

How can that be compared to homosexuality, and how can I be compared to a Nazi because I want to see this "psychological disorder" eliminated?

Could it be one of those magazines where photos of adult models are digitally manipulated to give the impression that you are looking at pictures of children? I remember there being a story about that on the news a while back. If it is the case, I think it's a much better, (although perhaps not healthier), alternative to abusing real children.

Yeh, it's a better alternative as the children aren't being exploited, but it's still feeding the reader's obession which is a bad idea.   People can be addicted to porn, and I'm sure some people are addicted to pictures of children (or pictures of adults digitally enhanced to look like children).

Addictions have a tendancy to evolve.  Heroin addicts will rarely claim heroin to be their first drug.  the started of on pot, which is relatively harmless, then maybe took some shrooms, then got involved in coke and before long they're on the smack.

I'm sure its the same for child molesters and rapists.  They will rarely tell you that they just got up one day and raped a child.  They probably started off looking at these kinds of magazines, then started taking their own photos of kids in the park, then decided they want more than just to watch, so they start touching, and then if theyve been getting away with it so far they might try something worse.

I'm not saying this is the predestined course for everyone who looks at these magazines, but what I'm saying is that these magazines should be taken of the shelves inorder to prevent people from becoming addicted and going that way.

Any course of action that will stop even one person from turning into a child killer (even if it means causing an inconvenience to the "innocent paedophiles") can surely be considered the right course of action.

Yeah, we have our ways of eliminating women. If geekiness isn't enough, we'll just drown them. In their own tea!

Um excuse me? Girls can be gay too? The forum can be 100% gay and still have male and female members?

In fact the women are probably gayer than you men, so...

Quite frankly, I must admit, I was only trying to make it easier for me to be a gay. See, as there's a majority of men, closing out the surrounding world is bound to create sexual need, which then later erupts between you and the closest person available. Therefore I would be gay rather that a guy who enjoys watching lesbians. (now that I'm both, what does that make me? )

A lesbian trapped in a queer's body?

I don't think it's responsible to say that we should wait for these people to commit the crime before we do something... fair enough, you can't punish individuals before they've commited a crime, but it's a good idea to try to identify the ones who are likely to commit crimes before they do it... and this means encouraging them to own up about their obsessions and try to dull them, or even reverse them.

Consider yourself lucky that you've got someone like her drawing hearts for you and sending cute messages.  I wish I had that   ... Sounds like she really likes you, maybe even loves you.

Whether you love her or not, shutting her off MSN could be a bad idea... she might start thinking you don't care.

I know it's easier said than done but in this situation talking to her will probably be the best thing to do.  And it's ten times better if you can talk to her face-to-face rather than online (believe me I've made that mistake).

If you really like her, then perhaps you should draw her some pictures or even make a game for her.  But don't shut her out, she doesn't deserve it.

Good luck mate.  Girls are a confusing race.

Hentai can be cool, but I shut it down if the characters look too young, it makes me feel very uncomfortable and doesn't turn me on.  I don't own any hentai myself, but if I was to go into a shop and browse for some I would make sure the characters looked old enough because then I'd be able to enjoy it properly.

Not Hentai, but still Japanese...
I walked into a shop into Tokyo because outside the sign simply said "Books Games, Videos"... Nothing else.  But when I walked in I was confronted by a shop full of porno mags and videos.   Being the red-blooded heterosexual male that I am, I wandered around and had a browse.  Then I walked down one aisle and saw a little girl on the cover, couldn't have been any older than 9 or 10.   Then I realised I'd stumbled into a whole section of the shop with this stuff and quickly hurried away, and indeed out of the shop.

Now I can only assume, because I didn't open the magazine, that the girls in the pictures aren't naked, just in swimsuits and stuff, because surely even in Japan it must be illegal to have naked children.   But who buys this stuff anyway?  And you can't defend it because whats it doing in a shop full of porn?... there is only one thing men use that magazine for and it ain't nice.

So, even though the magazines are legally sold, and even though the girls probably aren't completely naked, and even though they probably (hopefully) aren't doing anything other than standing there posing, I still think it's sick, and the people who buy this stuff need serious help before they're obsession gets the better of them.

I think I'm a little gayer, just by having read through this thread.
I can feel the oestrogen taking over.  Hmm, I feel a sudden urge to hang a rainbow flag on my wall and buy MIKAs album.

Krikey, I must've missed the bit about no JPGs when I read the rules... I'm always using them.   Sorry for any inconvenience caused, people.

Scrase, your template is good, but it's uses are limited as you only have it from a face-on angle. If I had a guitar in my game it would most probably be leaning against a wall or something and be at a totally different angle.   Still, I know where to come if I need a face-on image.

Welcome to the boards.

Oh come on now.  Everybody knows it was made by Ant and Dec.

I watched the trailer again and did a bit of research (okay, i know Wikipedia doesn't really count as research but...) and I concluded that the Statues head IS too small, but not really as small as I, and others, have made it out to be.



This is a very average approximation of real maths, but the fact that the head IS  too small, cannot really be doubted, but I must confess, I always thought the real head would be a LOT larger.

[EDIT]
Jeez, I must be bored.
I was going to check out the Slusho.jp address which is in Marunouchi, Tokyo, but I've got a strong feeling it's a false address.
36-40-10... for a start that 36 I'm pretty sure would never go up to 36... Shinjuku only goes up to about 20.  Could be wrong but it's too hot to go on wild goose chases.

Oh, that is a great track... much earlier than 2000 though.
More like '95 '96.

Black music used to be great, now it's cack.

I give up.
Have you got the tune in your head?  If so record yourself humming it and let us have a listen.  Also i'll send it to my little sister.  She's good at naming songs from humming. And she likes that kind of music aswell, so she's bound to get it.

Looks nice and professional.  Nice one.
So, when you gonna start charging for the games? hehe

I think Candall has fixed the perspective issue, but you're going to have to shade the couches if they're going to work in this background.  Personally I think you should ditch the foreground couch that's facing away from us, and maybe just have a coffee table there or something.

Maybe the small SoL head is a clue.
I mean this is JJ Abrahms we're talking about.
a) Its not like him to make such a basic mistake and
b) He loves playing with the minds of the audience.
