I don't approve of homosexuality. But those that are this way doesn't bother me. But that has nothing to do with this, or does it? The discussion started with the topic "Is homosexuality wrong or not?" and now it's all about the marriage issue. Well, I'll address both and then I'm leaving this forum. I've got things in my life to think about that, right now, are more important than this forum. So just to let you know, me leaving has nothing to do with this topic.

Anyways, "I don't approve of homosexuality" to quote myself. "But those that are this way doesn't bother me." If your gay, I'm not going to yell at you, push you around or kill you or whatever. There's a gay kid in my high school and he's one of the most popular people there. There are people there who don't like him and there are tons of people who love being around him. The only time anyone ever brings up him being gay is in some comment they say to make him laugh. Everyone's accepted the way he is and he has no problem with people calling him gay. My point is, what you think about it doesn't matter because it's going to happen.

As for gay marriage...I strongly disapprove of this. This is something I'd be willing to vocally(sp?) fight against. It takes the meaning out of it and if "my side" lost the fight. I just wouldn't get married. It's my decision and I'm not being a cry baby for losing or whatever. But if something has lost it's meaning, or if something has a completly different meaning than what it's supposed to be for you then there's no point in it for you. I don't feel like examples, but without being thick-headed(not meant to be rude) anyone could come up with something completely unrelated to this subject yet still fits what I just described.

To sum up:

1) I don't like the concept of homosexuality, but if you gay...fine, I don't have a problem with you.

2) I will not stand for gay marriage, or if I can't do anything about it I won't get married.

3) Bye^^ lol, it was fun being here but I have a lot of important things I need to concentrate on. My feelings are pretty blank and blah(great description, huh? ) right now so I need to sort that out too. Thanks everyone for the great debates...maybe after things are done on my side I might come back. And thanks to the Mods for supporting me as a mod of this forum for the short time I held the position. Goodbye.

John's right. The UN is a joke, but I'm really actually getting scared of Bush's actions. He's bold, that not a big deal. But I don't like his ideas of enforcing his beliefs on the world. It's just not morally right.

A good percent of the poeple here found this place because of my site

Means I'm doin somethin right with the site...

There's a site?
My brother showed me this site when he was visiting over the summer. And since I'm interested in RPGs, and he told me that's what the board's about, I joined. Little did I know this board would spark the debater in me more than any other board I've ever been to. I think it's cool though. I admin two other boards that I don't own and I mod this one, and I've never been banned from one like some of the people I've read in here lol

haha, sorry for the weird title. I was reading the topics in this forum and read the title "If you could, would you..." and then "Ressurect Aeris" and started wondering. If you could ressurect Aeris, would you even want to?

The theme of any Final Fantasy is adventure......and fantasy....plus anything else specific to each one. Besides, any story has more than one theme to it so I don't think that question is really fair......

We need more questions. I don't think I know enough about video games in general to give much here. But if I got one right I'd be sure to come up with one

I don't think you were accused of being liberal extremists, but I could be wrong. Also to Zylo, I've listened to a bit of Rush Limbaugh, and in that one session he made a couple contradictions to himself and was far too biased for his own good. Not to say he didn't make some good points though.

I think it's a good idea to give them the option to join a war if they want to. But it's wrong, and would be a big flop as John said, if we sent them over there against their will. Even those that want to fight in the war may feel a little rebellious for being 'forced' to do it.

I didn't read the article in the link, not yet anyways, because I had a short time before I had to go to school. So I can't have an opinion of the "spin" on the article, but how is there a spin in the title? It's a statistic.

I very strongly believe that same-sex marriage should not be allowed. If it starts it'll take away the personal meaning marriage has to me and I probably won't see anything special in it anymore. I hate dictionaries, as you all should know, and I still say that marriage is defined by the unity between a man and a woman. It's not a dictionary definition, it's a defintion defined by history, tradition and moral value. To change what it means to a person would take the value out of it for many people and then marriage becomes meaningless. I don't have a problem with gay people and their relationship, but I don't want what they have to infringe on what I have. I'm sure they don't want me doing the same, and I'm not. I'm not trying to get gay relationships illegal, because I don't think that's fair...even if I don't believe in it.

More specifically, it's what comes out of what people say that isn't exactly the truth and annoys or hurts kids. Some of them often think that people shouldn't be allowed to say things that are offensive to them or others and therefore I'm not surprised that this survey went that way. I'm a highschool student myself, however, and I completely disagree with what those kids think. Freedom of Speech is a true heritage that I'm proud of.

I still can't find much that talks about what an RPG actually is. I'm also trying to find stuff dealing with different types of RPGs, mainly DnD type, Video games and online video games. I also need stuff on the effects of video games on the players...good, bad, and maybe stuff on effecting a person's morals or outlook on life. I need a third thing to put into my paper but I can't think of one. I'm likely going to fail the first conference with my teacher but I suppose I'd better go back to looking for more info.

Really there is not point in complaining about the war now... little too late eh?

The point in "complaining" about it is to help prevent something like it from happening in the future.
