    Exams!

    I just took my last two finals today. Chinese was incredibly easy and the Bio one was much easier than I expected.

    When do you think lyrics are over the line?

    To be fair, some of them are from the ghetto. 2pac, for example. Although people like Eminem who grew up in fucking Warren, MI and try to play off like they lived inner city are absurd.

    Moral Absolutes

    The mating ritual for praying mantises is to sneak up on the female and essentially rape her (failure results in death). My point is that you shouldn't just compare mating habits of two very different species of animal to justify actions. Well then we get into the discussion of whether or...

    Moral Absolutes

    It's common that everyone with optimal traits is unwilling to have sex? That seems like a ludicrous statement. Well, first, to assume God is captured perfectly in every religious text is an absolutely absurd statement. Those are the words of men, not of God. And if it is an omni-omni god, as...

    Moral Absolutes

    But the chances of that happening are virtually nonexistent. It is so unlikely that it doesn't even need to be considered. But God, by the very virtue of being God, is an unchanging absolute, or at least so long-standing that any change in his moral opinion will far outlast existence as we...

    Moral Absolutes

    Curious: Do you mean you see no problem with murder period, as in it is never bad to kill another human being, or do you mean you can see situations where it is acceptable. Just wondering.

    Moral Absolutes

    What does that even mean? If Hitler were raped, the Holocaust would happen twice?

    Moral Absolutes

    I understand rape but incest? Unless said incest was rape I don't see much extremely wrong about it. Not supporting it, myself, but there's nothing particularly harmful about it.

    Moral Absolutes

    Not really. Back in the caveman days sex was generally accepted by both parties by virtue of survival instinct. I'm getting a little tired of these "no moral absolute" guys (and gals!) with unsubstantial posts. How, exactly, are there no moral absolutes? Does that mean every possible...

    Moral Absolutes

    Well then say unprovoked homicide is always bad. Can't argue with that one. Generally anything that is purely malevolent without positive aspects is bad. Example: Stealing a baby's bottle, assuming there are no extraordinary circumstances (ie, the milk is poisoned, etc) You could also...

    Wanna know why I like books?

    My favorite creative medium is film.

    Why isn't anyone going nuts from Golden Sun?

    I am very glad this is being released, seeing as I never played the original and now I don't have to go out of my way to get it.

    Poll: What do you think of the new L4D2 survivors?

    I'm going to miss Bill a lot, but I've already decided to use The Coach. Maybe Ellis if I can voice-mod scout lines into the game.

    Movies that everyone else likes, but you.

    I'm a bit surprised to see people saying The Godfather. Here I thought that was hallowed ground haha. The only one that really comes to mind for me (other than the really obvious ones)is No Country for Old Men. I could not make heads or tails of that movie, quite honestly. It was vague...
