The "let it out" thread.

That's not quite the same thing as having an in game job you can use to creatively make money though. You could do things like that in most MMO's. Even in the early ones people used to do things like make amazing characters and then sell them.

I agree about Mildred's store. It's a shame it got shut down, although I too tried to get a trade a couple of times and never got it. She was busy. It's all good.

I know. Sweetheart was in strife with reality and the mass. I know full well.

But, I digress.

WoW can trade gold for what they have into real currency, similar to how runescape could also as well. However it was known as 'illegal' for most countries, they still did it anyway. It helped the Chinese players get currency they could not have in a communist government, but the Chinese removed WoW from play... I think they may have changed it again, thou

Don't get me started. The focus of my a lot of my college study is on Chinese literature, which draws a lot of parallels into Chinese general culture. I definitely have some rather inflammatory opinions there.

Well, seeing as the Chinese are one of the few countries that have had a 'successful' communist country (even thou they have been making deals and plans with private companies from capitalism, which defies the IDEALS of Marxist communism in the first place). Sigh. The lack of diversity in government irritates me. Needs some more flavour. It seems like the ever-closing unification of the world is getting closer, and the unification I see coming is not one I ever want to happen... ever.

But, the Chinese are not the main problem. More so, everything with the Chinese. Americans, Europeans, and all sorts of government... the socialist and capitalist hybrid which I see as unification is coming very close together, and people don't even realize it. I hope we seek migration from our Mother soon, before it finally hits.

Communism is stuuupid.

Anyway, i dont want to end lives out of fear alone. I do have a sense of right and wrong, and i am also willing to die for it. Some call it insanity, others may call it bravery. I call it faith.

I suck at explaining philosophy. I can just understand it. As with almost everything that has to do with all concepts.

Right and Wrong are the cons and pros. If you think morals and ethics, that is your relative views of good and evil.

Let's face it, all the governments are stupid. America is NOT an exception. The american government is viewed similar to the pop-stars in California. It's pathetic.

All the governments are flawed, and the absence stability in these worlds of Order is just that. The reason? People are changing their views, and the democracy laid has done it well. Not just democracy, but also governments which have objectiveness, split in different views. Even the Liberals and Conservatives of Canada have also split views from one another in how the government should be run, even if the people of the same party have... similar views.

Those with single governments, such as fascisms and monarchy, has usually been destroyed due to the instability of the government leaders, or the lack of control they have done to maintain order.

So, tell me... which is the best course to flow in terms of order and stability. I would like to know.

I was making a funny and i didnt want to type a bunch on my phone. Pass.

To bring up the topics already over (reality and games & Moving house), I have a few opinions myself.
When I was younger, I'm talking 6 onwards to maybe 15, I was a great fan of games, and though people liked me, I had very little social life in general. These days I still appreciate a good game, but one thing always pops into my mind which is pretty depressing if you put to much though into it. Sometimes I think, "What video game would I like to live in, as the main character or otherwise?", now I'm sure many people ask themselves this question sometimes, but then my thoughts always go to the reasons why or why not to live in that world. And they always end up on the campaign, the story, and the world itself. Just imagine living in a world where you're boxed in and pushed through a set of events that you're destined to repeat over and over again, with no variation beyond that which is in the world already being present. Now, that doesn't sound so bad, until you place it into reality, which creates a pretty downbeat feel about life. It's pretty much borderline Nihilism if you know what I mean.

It also reminds me of this story/creepypasta I quite like:

Spoiler:

This is a pretty amazing story in my opinion, but one of the most oppressive moods created is when it is applied to reality.

Even though it's mostly funny groundhog day captures that feel

didnt get a chance to read this whole thread over, but i have major anger issues i spent most of my youth consantly looking for fights, drinking and drugs, havnt touched drugs 6 years now though, ive also cut down on the drinking, and i also have a better hold of my rage, i just tend to now get tattoos as the pain is kinda a way of letting out anguish plus i get something really cool out of it after

I worked out my internet issues. Apparently the previous tenants never returned their modem and router, so when I got the keys and went over there today I packed them up and returned them myself. So everything is all worked out.

That's awesome. How's the move going?

Billy, not to pry (ok maybe a little) has that translated to you're music at all? I know I struggle unless I'm really angry or sad

Supporting *** rights doesn't mean you're ***. Don't people understand that?

It's going slowly. I've stopped for the night now. Won't have any help until tomorrow, so I plan to just get up early and power through it in a day. I'm liking the new place though. It's got a lot of character and it's right down the street from the lady friend of mine I've been making time with.

@BP: I'm assuming you're speaking about g.a.y. rights? Who isn't understanding that? I'm extremely in favor of *** rights, and couldn't be farther from g.a.y

I think he's making a general statement about humanity.

bloodpixel wrote:Supporting *** rights doesn't mean you're ***. Don't people understand that?

I think most rational people do understand that.

I'd think most people who don't understand that are most likely not people worth knowing anyway.

Or at the very least people whose opinions shouldn't really matter to you.

Unfortunately they do count, which is why it still isnt legal.

Yes, I was actually right about to edit that to "shouldn't."

Very unfortunate.

bloodpixel wrote:Supporting *** rights doesn't mean you're ***. Don't people understand that?

I understand that completely, and I'm against g.a.y. marriage. A lot of people just have fear and lack of understanding. But most people who vote against g.a.y. marriage are like me, and believe marriage is a sacred connection between a man and a woman. 'Tis a spiritual thing, and I don't really want to argue about that. Since, I've gotten people pissed before debating with them. It was a debate to me, not to them... Anyway, this is also a forum, and I read that forums aren't really the place to discus spiritual beliefs.

It's hard, man. I know a lot of guys that I had to just leave because they're anger and drug/alcohol problems were dragging down the people around them. I don't have an addicted personality, and I wouldn't ever be apart of that, but you left the scene, so you understand how hard it is for the people still messed up in it, and for the people who need to leave. *fistbump*

The problem I see isn't with spiritual beliefs, but enforcing them on people who don't hold them. It's like trying to tell a jew they have to believe in Christ in order to live in this country. As a jew, I'd find that unjust.

We probably shouldn't be talking about this, but I'm good if you're good?
It's because I believe that marriage should keep the same definition as it has been and should be. A sacred bond between a man and a woman. If it becomes something else, then a marriage that's a true spiritual bond would mean something different, and a new word would need to be made up or something. It's like the word "g.a.y." I guess. I'm horrible at explaining things. So idk if this works, but that was changed to something else. And marriage means more than just a word. So, I believe that it shouldn't change. I'll vote that it shouldn't change. If the majority of the population votes against what I believe, then I guess that's what society believes.

Did I do good keeping out too much pushing of beliefs? I try really hard not to "shove it down your throat." I hate it when people complain, but I hate it more when people hate me. <--(Letting it out haha!)

EDIT: By the by, I do believe that being g.a.y. is a sin, but the bible says that God doesn't distinguish between different sins. We do that. A lie is a sin, and being g.a.y. is a sin. I sin all the time. We all do. I don't punish people for it, and I'm completely against people who do so.

The problem isn't if you feel like you're pushing beliefs or not, it's that in supporting these beliefs you're pushing beliefs. Let's stick with the Judaism analogy. As someone who believes in Christ, does it bother you that I don't? If it does, do you think I should be forced to? Also, all spiritual beliefs aside, a lot of the states that are pushing for anti-g.a.y marriage legislation are also passing laws that ban civil unions. This isn't in any way a thing that does, or ever has, been relevant to any kind of religious organization. The issue isn't only about g.a.y marriage. It's about what we think our government should and shouldn't be able to tell us what we can and can't do. The separation of church and state is a concept that was put in place for a very good reason. It's because not everyone holds the same beliefs, and democracy is supposed to work based on an idea of equality for everyone. Despite the fact that you think the idea of homosexuals getting married would in some way impede on a concept that you hold to be sacred, do you believe that homosexuals deserve to be treated any less human than you do? Because whether you'd like to accept it or not, passing these laws is essentially drafting wording into the constitution that states that these people, because they were born to be a little different than you and me, deserve to be treated as lesser humans, with less rights. Do you think people with down syndrome should not be able to get married? That's different than two people with 46 chromasomes getting married. Does that also change the way the concept of marriage works?

Just simply supporting my beliefs does not push them, unless you're referring to simply having my own ideas and talking about my own personal opinion. I'm not trying to convince you to do anything or change anything about you. And thus, I am not pushing my beliefs, as I am simply holding them unto myself.
And yes, it does bother me to see people who do not believe in Christ, but I know that trying to force my beliefs onto you would be pointless, so why talk about it unless the subject comes up. Though, I usually do not talk about it because people just don't want to hear. *shrug*
I don't know about all the other states, but all I know is about my own personal beliefs and the beliefs of the people around me. I said "I" in my last post because I am not representing everyone who votes against g.a.y. marriage. I apologize for implying so a few posts ago.
I think everyone has a right to marry. But marriage means a man and a woman. To me. I do understand other people dont see it that way, and that's fine. I'll vote as how I see it, because I ain't voting against what I believe just because others believe against me.
I guess my main point is that I see marriage differently than you do. It simply is between a man and a woman.
