I don't play FF, so I'm not entirely familiar with Seifer or anyone else from FF. But from what I could tell, Seifer's a jerk :poketoungeb: I think he was just making a stupid remark, trying to show off or something.
It's fake, completely fanmade. I do wish that Kairi would become less useless though... I'd like to see her be able to fight and not always have to be rescued.
I like the manga. It's not extremely accurate, but it is quite funny. The pickles, Naminé's "Safety First" hat, Vexen's little diagram of what to do when he was caught by Sora and co., and just a bunch of the lines in general ("In this place, to find is to lose and to lose is to find. But rest assured that you won't lose anything just because you've won this free drink"). It's really quite humorous, but if you're looking for accuracy, you'll have a hard time finding it.
I honestly don't know. The story would be so different if the characters were gay, and they would have to take out some of my favorite parts of the story (such as Sora and Kairi looking for each other), as well as the important parts (like Kairi saving Sora from the darkness). It's hard to say without actually playing a gay version, but I do think it would change the storyline dramatically, to the point where I might not enjoy it as much. It doesn't help that I *do not* like yaoi.
I'd have to say Sora. It would be easier for me to use two hands than just one. And besides, it's just that much extra force coming from the other hand.
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Did you read my post? God is not the only thing I mentioned. I also said that it hurts the communities that the prostitutes are in. For one, it's not possible to have prostitution *anywhere* without it being degrading to women (even if they choose that path). It's degrading to family, because sex is going to produce children (I like how you didn't address that issue). And it's really not emotionally healthy for the men. What do you think prostitution teaches men about how to treat women, even ones who aren't prostitutes? And yes, generally things that ARE bad are CONSIDERED bad. This is because overtime (as in thousands of years) communities run into problems with certain behaviors, like, oh, prostitution. So those behaviors become outlawed. I never said it just was bad, I gave good reasons, more than just God. Point out where I said that people who sleep with more than one person are not fine, smart, and religious. All prostitutes are people who sleep with more than one person, but every person who sleeps with lots of people is not a prostitute. I'm not using God as a claim for morality. I'm simply making a connection between the two, because there definitely is one. And many of the same arguments can be made under natural law. Oh, and for the record, religious arguments are much more complex than just "God said so." I am making no such argument. I gave an explanation other than God, although I really don't understand the problem with that argument. And I never said "it just is". I said that it was considered bad, because it is. Like I said before, most bad things are considered bad because of human experience. Which particular method of expression? There are quite a few. What exactly do you propose as a standard of good and evil? On what would you found civilization? Perhaps societal understandings have been shoved into your brains. But don't assume that everyone accepts what they have been taught without question or thought. Even people I disagree with don't necessarily accept what they've been taught without question. And I'm certainly not dismissing what you are saying because you disagree with me. All I'm doing is sharing my opinion on the subject. By the way... I'm not seeing much evidence that contradicts my view, except that you don't seem to like the mention of God.
Yes, humans are prone to being arrogant. What does that have to do with prostitution? And just because humans have evolved and developed a moral code does not mean we have "discarded our ancestors". Whatever that means. Are you seriously comparing prostitution to working in an office? Prostitution is illegal, and I do not support legalizing it. HOWEVER. I am not making an argument about legality, I'm talking about the morality of it. Uh... it's considered wrong because it IS wrong. Reality has shown that it causes harm to communities as well as individuals, in many complex ways. So really, it's not just the individuals that get hurt, but also the communities they're in. And like I said before, God gave us the gift of sex to share with one person, not lots of people. So when we do have sex with a lot of people, it's wrong. Religious teachings are silly? I must admit, as a strong Christian, I am slightly offended by this. Have you heard all religious teachings? Are teachings such as "don't tell lies" silly? How about "don't steal"? No. Immorality and evil are not interchangeable. There is a difference between being immoral and being evil. Telling a lie is immoral, but it is certainly not evil. Morals can do quite a bit of good and do go quite a ways. Please explain what you mean by morals going "too far".
Whether humans are better than other organisms is completely irrelevant. And how did other organisms even get brought into this discussion? But now that you mention it... are you saying that a female prostitute has the same needs as, say, a female cat? Or perhaps a bird? Humans have more complex feelings than animals do. It's not a matter of being "better". And could you please point out in my post where I said prostitutes were evil? I believe I was talking about prostitution, not about individual prostitutes. Show me one instance where any great civilization or community was built on prostitution. As for moral sense... that is what defines good and evil, is it not? Are you saying that because some people are immoral and commit evil acts, all humans with moral sense will commit evil acts? Or are you saying that all humans are just immoral? And if they're immoral, how do you define "immoral" without a moral sense?
Prostitution is morally wrong. It's as simple as that. Yes, if someone is willing to get paid for sex, then that is their choice, but that doesn't make it okay. Sex is something to be shared with one special person, not with countless people. Not only does having sex with lots of random people spread STDs, but it also nullifies the true purpose of sex, which is to express your love for one person (hopefully that you're married to). It has special meaning, but that meaning is destroyed when sex is used to make money. And what happens when pregnancy comes into the picture? Either a baby will be born to a prostitute and possible drug addict, or the baby will be aborted. Prostitution is not a lifestyle known to be great for parenting. And birth control never works 100% of the time, even when used properly, so that won't eliminate the problem. Another issue is that they're not ever really happy. Many prostitutes become prostitutes because their lives are screwed up (not necessarily the person, although that happens too). They've been abused or are on drugs. Prostitutes generally don't have much self-respect, and just because they're willing to be used for money doesn't make it right. Now, I understand that some people become prostitutes because they don't have any other options. They are literally out of money and are living on the streets. That is a slightly different issue, but I will say that there are almost always other choices (except in cases of slave labor, which sadly does still happen). Many people just don't recognize that they have options other than prostitution.
There is no "right" age to have sex, except that you should be an adult. Sex is something that should be reserved for married couples who truly love each other, not teenagers who have been going out for 2 or 3 years and feel like they're really "in love". Often times when unmarried couples (especially teens) have sex, they end up really regretting it, not only because of the possibility of pregnancy and STDs, but also simply the emotional turmoil. If a teen couple has sex and ends up breaking up later on down the road, it can be devastating to both partners. And by no means should anyone have sex when they feel "ready", because many times teens feel "ready" when they are not, and "in love" when they are not. But, let's pretend that by some miracle, a couple really does love each other. What if the girl gets pregnant? A baby is a blessing, no doubt about that, but a baby can also change lives completely. A teenage girl is not ready to take care of a baby by herself, and usually the father will not stick around to help take care of it, even if he does care about the girl he had sex with. Now, love and pregnancy aside... what about STDs? Those are completely devastating to the person who gets it (and maybe even the person that gave it to their partner, if they didn't know they had it before). And as for condoms, those are *extremely* unreliable. They break all the time. Although birth control pills do work much better, they aren't any use for preventing STDs, and even they don't work perfectly 100% of the time. But what it really boils down to is that God created sex for married couples to share as way of expressing their love for each other. It is a gift from Him, not something to be taken or done lightly. He wants us to wait for marriage to have sex, to wait for someone we truly care about and are committed to. It hurts Him for us to abuse the gift he created for us.
*eats cookies*
WOOOO! Let's go!! *starts running around waving sitar madly*
Okay, so exactly where are we attacking first? :guns: *is eager to start even though she hasn't been a part of this conversation* Disney Castle, Villain's Vale, Destiny Islands, or Atlantica?
I think Twilight Town would be a nice place to live in, but so would Traverse Town. Twilight Town is very big and would be fun to explore, but Traverse Town seems to be a quiet, restful place. I suppose I'd like Twilight Town better then Traverse, because the people there seem friendlier (excluding Seifer and his gang) Everyone in Traverse Town seems to be all moody and depressed.
I really enjoy both. The storyline is amazing, and the gameplay is very entertaining. I voted for the storyline since that's the most important one of the two options, but I really can't decide which one I like better.
One-Winged Angel, Roxas' Theme, The Other Promise (I know they sound almost the same, but they sound different enough for me to count them as different songs), Organization XIII Theme, The Encounter, Tension Rising, Dearly Beloved, Sinister Shadows, Sacred Moon, A Fight to the Death, Darkness of the Unknown, Sunset Horizons. Those are all of can think of right now, but I'm sure there are many more that have escaped me at the moment.
Cure and Reflect. I could never get through the game without either of those. Reflect is helpful for things like fending off enemies who won't leave you alone (because it's useful for so many other things :poketoungeb:) And Cure is much more effective than Potions are and easier to use.
And no, I'm not mad at you Hopefulwishes :)
Oops, deleted my own message. I feel smart >.<
Of course not! Why would I be mad at you? :) I was just curious, that's all :) She has some pretty awesome stuff though, doesn't she? ^^
