An article I have read says in an argument 'Porn is harmful for the family and society as a whole, which can lead to funding of drugs and terrorism'. Whether this fact is true or not, I ask you, does pronography deeply affect you negatively? or do you think it's just a bit of fun, for adults to spark their relationships again? or something else. Please discuss. And keep it generally intelligent and not just talking about porn films and the such.
What do you think about when you hear someone has a mental disorder or illness? Do you believe they need more care than other people? THey are capable on their own? Do you think they should be excluded from society?
Wu Wei is an important concept in the Chinese religion Tao. It can be translated as Wu meaning 'no action' and Wei meaning 'act', both combined it would mean 'Without action' Many believe this to mean that if you do something natural, without thinking, like chopping vegetables perfectly in rhythm, this would be seen as doing effortlessly, natural. And if we do something so natural and effortless, it is something we should pursue and we will find happiness. Some others believe it to be a message of how humans should live their life with nature. Some see the world as humans continually trying to solve problems around the world, but in the end we are left with more troubles because we did something, Wu Wei says that if humanity does nothing and lets nature take its course everything will turn out perfect and harmonious. The questions are: Do you think our natural skills can help us achieve happiness? And do you believe we should let nature take its course, so that harmony can begin?
Now first of, I warn you that this poem is based off the stories of pedophillia, so it contains referrences to sex and a little violence. What I was trying to do here, was present it in a way in which the poem was in a slow guitar solo song style, I also viewed it for the pedophile's eyes, in which they see it as a postive thing, though in the end it is elfish and wrong. (though the last line is up for debate) Enjoy and try not to be offended. Lolita My little Lita, Your big blue eyes sparkle up to me, Tempting me, My little Lita, How your smile shames a thousand doves, How can this be legal love? My little Lita, Oh, all mine, All mine, Lita, oh Lita, My gorilla hands touch your delicate chest, An envy of silk where I bury me face, acts like a nest Lita, oh Lita, How your youth shows, by no hair down here that grows I just taste and feel, licking my lips from this tasty meal, My, Oh, Little, Oh, Lita, ah Feeling you, and touching you, Hurting you, and scarring you. I pierce that barrier between our bold bodies, Now you bleed, I’ll lock you away, keeping the keys Till another day, Oh, poor, little Lita…
This is based on the idea of a man fighting his drug addiction after having to leave his love, his unborn child and fighting addiction. And the Reason the title is AL, is vecause that's the guys name of course, but I got the idea, because every starting letter of each line spells out AL. …} AL {… And the day roles on, from the dawn, Like I’ve been away for so oh long, And back again coming from my addiction, Love caused our time in the bedroom, causing friction, And I left behind the gravel and dirt, Left you with nothing, but that unborn baby to birth, And here I come, welcome me back, Lest I go turn over, to the needle, and my deluded crack, And now it’s night, the mid time start, Laughter, at the thought we will never part
Now i've read alot about the Unbirths recently and I'm pondering a lil question. Now the reason that Unbirths don't appear in KH1 and 2 is because they are extinct. Now I'm guessing that progressing through the BBS game you'll find out how this happened whether through the Keyblades, Kingdom Herats or whatever. So if we find out how these Unbirths were defeated, that they are also connected to Heartless and Nobodies and that BBS is to prepare for KH3, does that mean that Sora and the gang find out how the Unbirths were destroyed they will be able to figure out how to stop the Heartless and Nobodies once and for all? And does that mean KH3 will be the last in the series if it happens?
Recently the words 'Charm' and 'Charisma' have entered many conversations I’ve been happening. Since applying for Sixth Form (which is like College but it's also a secondary school or high school) I've recently had to talk too many of the teachers so that I can apply to their particular subject. Now while I was there many times I tried to persuade these teachers to let me in to their subject by complimenting their department and saying I’ve tried so hard and soon and so forth. Now many times I was told that I was told to be very charming and charismatic by either the teacher or my friends who were waiting in a queue. It surprised me since it's the way I would act normally with people and wondered why it was so more 'powerful' than what they use. The question is, Does the ability to charm using charismatic abilities help people achieve goals? I mean my voice really doesn't sound like it's charming, sounds depressing actually, but people call me charming so is it the words or voice we use that makes us charming?
Got the basic idea from a song called Judith by A Perfect Circle that was remixed by Danny Lohner (aka Renholder). The basic and metallic sound in the song gave me the idea of a robotic story, trying to be something he was. Enjoy. WARNING - I'm not sure that while I continue with this story I will keep it that clean, so expect Violent Content, you have been warned! Chapter 1 Early Dealings With Metal Click…Click…Tick… Bee-Boop…Tick… Zmm…Tick… The sounds of the machines hummed and played their tune all day and all night… Click…Click…Tick… Bee-Boop…Tick… Hmm…Click… Dr. Hurt had been up most the night in the Restricted section of the , working on the last few logistic problems on the computer screen, “Hmmm, maybe if I change the algorithm so that the sum ends up as a product off…” Then stopped and looked back at the screen “Awww, hell…” He gave up and laid back in his office chair, then reaching for a pen in his lab coat and a notepad on the desk, he began writing statistics down. “Another late night for you, Lance?” said a voice from the doorway. Dr. Hurt recognised the voice straight away and just continued his work. “Yeah, I’ve only got a few kinks to work out before the project can be completed” He turned round in his chair, and looked up to a scruffy middle aged man wearing a lab coat holding two cups with steam rising from them. “Thanks again for the coffee, Bob.” Bob handed Lance the cup and both took a good drink from them. “The least I could do, you’ve worked the hardest for this.” “Yeah, I know, people seem to be telling me that” “Well, the first tests were successful and all vitals look stable and the machine implants are working, Experiment #13 is doing great.” Dr. Hurt looked down, towards his coffee, than up, over his shoulder. He saw a gigantic pod filled with green liquid with many pipes and wires coming out of it. And inside was Experiment #13… A half man and half machine creation…A machine man. It, was made up of alloyed flexible steel, a newly created metal which was as stronger than steel but as easy to shape a soda can. The metal shaped the creatures arms, legs and neck to look like ‘metal muscle’ while the feet hands were replaced with cylinder shaped steel containers, which seemed like handcuffs that were so thick they covered most the lower leg and arm region. His head was covered in a futuristic helmet, where the back of the head was covered in a shiny metal and many colourful buttons and switches with clear glass that covered what was left of its face. The face…ugh…was burned …scared and misshapen, like a jigsaw puzzle where the puzzle pieces didn’t fit, a true Frankenstein’s ‘Metal’ Monster. “We’ve been working on this thing” began Dr. Hurt, “For 4 years and this is the only results we’ve gotten, a man in a shell of metal.” Bob looked to the floor with a slight frown on his face. Silence hung in the room. “I mean look at it Bob; does it look even alive to you?” He just continued to look to the ground keeping silent. “It’s-s…just a machine…a project that we need to finish.” He placed his empty coffee cup on the desk. “You need some sleep.” He said raising his head, smiling up at him, “Come on, you’ve earned it, work can wait for the morning” Lance turned round to it once more, staring in silence while Bob looked intently at him. He closed his “Ok…” he said quietly. “You win.” Both left the room leaving behind their cups and work back in the lab as they set off. …………….. Click…Click…Tick… Bee-Bop…Tick… Zmm…Tick… Peace came back to the room, as the machine man floated in the pod, the room as dark as ever… ……………… Click…Click…Tick… Bee-Bop…Tick… Humm…Click… Zttt…Whoot… Ah, the silence and shapelessness of the room was so relaxing, and tranquil… Click…Click…Tick… Humm…Click… Huh… The shadows of the room…begin to move, begin to live… Click…Zttt… The shape of a male formed in the dark, hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat. Dressed in an assassin black leather raincoat, and hat, with gloves that emphasized his pale skin even more. The man leaped down and landed gracefully on his feet with his hands in his pockets, looking up to the pod that stood right in front of him, he gazed at the figure inside. “So this is what you are…A metal and meat combo” reaching up he stroked the glass, “Thought the machine that took so long to build would be more impressive.” He peered inside, looking at each of its detailed built body parts. “Oh well, you’re the next best thing for the job” He said with an evil grin that reached from one cheek to the other. He carefully removed his glove from his left hand, one finger at a time, to reveal his hand vacant of any colour, joined by five long red silver nails protruding from each of his fingers “Time has said it is now that the Machines, built in the likeness of Humans, should rise up and take over this domain, like the Humans did to the ones that created them.” He reached up and clawed down on the glass, the screeching of the glass was painful to listen too. “Bring with you, the soul of the man you once were and begin your life, anew!” Again he raised his hand and tore through the glass surface, creating another mark showing the shape of an ‘X’. He stepped back from the pod, his long metallic nails now swung freely in the air, carefree. But, by chance, hell would soon open, as his nails knocked on the desk of Dr. Hurt, shaking its many pieces of equipment on it, and the half filled coffee he left behind vibrated violently too… Crash, spill and the cup had fallen onto the computer panel, liquid seeping in, sparks and crackling sounds spouted from it and an alarm sounded. “Ohh, this really isn’t supposing to be happening…” The man looked back in slight shock seeing the electrics spark away. “Still… my job’s done.” He quickly put the glove back on and slid back, back into the dark. Zttt…Pouu…Pouu The alarm sounded over and over, the sound of the security’s foot steps came echoing in the building…And the low beat of a heart, thumped and thumped…It had begun…It awakened…
I'm doing this thread for 3 reasons: 1. To show support for the idea of a Photography section 2. To flaunt what I got ;P 3. I'm bored Here are randoms pictures I have taken of Birds from Bird Sanctuaries and views from my holidays/vacations i've been on this summer. Enjoy even if they are bad, you have good days and bad days, photography can be tough to get a good pic. PS- Vote (unofficially) for the photography section :D PSS - SOrry they are so big, I can't scale them down.
What makes one man friends with another, while be an enemy of another? Why do we have friends? Is it personal feelings? Similar thoughts? Taste? Is it political? Peace treaties? Forced into a corner? Or is it the need to be social, to have allies and not be alone? Why do we have enemies? Is it personal feelings? Conflict? Anger? Is it political? War? Terrorists? Or is it the need to kill, the animal instinct that makes us raise our hands to strike others? Why do we have people we love and hate?
Does the fact that in the increase in the human population has led to even more troubles in the world? Food Shortage More animals becoming Extinct Increase in Pollution Increase in Diseases Increase in Violence Increase in Law Breaking etc You coould keep going on and on about the worlds problems, but is it because the human population has increased, or bad luck?
Ok, i'm not sure if anyone else has done an olympic thread but I couldn't find any and was kinda surprised at that. If it's done, get a staff and delete. Anyway, The olympic games at Beijing, China is starting. It has been a very unsettling time in China with recent events with Earthquakes and Tibet but still it will go on with all its glory. So anyone watching it and supporting your team? What do you think about the recent events that have lead up to Olympics in China? Should they concentrate more on Earthquake victims? Or Tibets freedom?
Now I stumbled on to this, it is very deep in meaning and hard to understand and grasp but I thought some people would enjoy it. It talks about the Principle of Tao/Dao, an ancient chinese relegion and philosophy. I can't explain it, no words od it justice, I just recommend listening ot it. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Point of note, on part 3 I bleieve people should hear this more than anything else (5:38 to 5:52).
Which one is more important in your eyes? Why?
I just got this thought. Kingdom Hearts 2 was darker than the original in which the enemies became colder, Sora had darker clothes and you had many more elements of fear and sadness in it. Now take into fact other popular games: KH = KH2 Jak and Daxter = Jak2 Prince of Persia = Prince of Persia 2 God of War = God of War (might be harder to see how much darker but it is) etc... Do you believe this?
Is there anyway that after meeting the requirements of being a premium that you can ask the staf to just 'n-make you' back to a normal member? Not sure if this has been asked before or not.
All these killings recently around my area in London, they always peak about the victims as 'good kids' and 'would never harm a fly' and 'all he/she wanted to do was to help people.' Now I understand that victims af murders, espically the recent London Stabbings, are basically teens starting their life as adutls, and may never have done much bad too the world but I don't understand one thing. All these people who are murdered and sympathised about are always innocent and good people. But what I don't understand is how this good and righteous people seem to get murdered all the time, Does that mean if you are good you are a victim, helpless? did this people do nothing to prvoke the attacks? I can't believe that (alot of) murderers just go up to random 'good' people and murder them for no reason, it's just strange.
Ok, goofy title, but a series question. What requirements do you have to have to be an Org Member? I've heard alot about th 14th member NOT being a nobody, so it got me thinking, maybe the 14th is not a Nobody looking for a heart, but she actually has the same goals as the Org, opening Kingdom Hearts. I mean the whole point of the games (so far) are about stopping the bad guys getting to 'the heart of all worlds'. So maybe the Org member is trying to do the same thing but eventually betrays the Org, for her own motives, like Axel.
Is it the beat of the heart, that tells me it's alive? Is it the sadness in our tears, that makes me treasure the smiles? Is it the deep scars, that keeps me sober? Is it the twinkle in a child's eyes, That tells me what i'm fighting for? I don't know who that is, when I look in the mirror, He isn't me, Just a mask of what I really am? I don't know who I am, on the inside, I feel so confused, what can I do, One day i'll find out who that really is in the mirror
Not really an urgent need for help but I would like to hear any tips people have for coming out to your parents your Gay or Bi. I'm Bi myself and one day I am probably going to have to cross the bridge of telling my mother and father my sexual orientation. if anyone wants to give tips about how they think it should be told, or someone who has done it themselves, please and thank you.
