I haven't been able to rant much lately but have done a few since you've been busy. xD. I'm ranting more on silly essays and reports for school. :(

Absoooooolitious!!! How's it goin?

The section used to be more active and some people really did do great things. I haven't seen anything so astounding though in a while sadly. Maybe this is some incentive that people could start doing more again. I would hope so, anyway.
Rules are generally in place for a reason. Someone or many people probably screwed up a lot and so that rule had to be in place to warn others to not follow down the line to destruction. I do think that some rules shouldn't -have- to be there, but humanity time and time again seems to prove that 'commonsense' should be renamed 'infrequentsense'. Those of us who do think things through must deal with it. Some rules are pretty petty and made for the wrong reasons. Also, some rules and/or laws are very outdated and need to be dropped because they are stupid and do not even apply to modern age. Some rules are put in place with no explanation either, and I think it's rather pertinent that if a rule is meant to stop something, it should be explained 'why'. People would be more willing to follow rules if they were not just told "Because I said so". In the end, rules in extreme situations may have to be bent or ignored. Rules are usually there for the common regular daily occurrences. They are generally, therefore, good to follow.

Oh hai. Sup?
It is perfectly normal to do that. :) sup?
Teenage sex is going to happen, whether people lay down the law against it or not. It just is. The whole point of adolescence is that the bodies of girls and boys are changing and they are becoming sexually active and aware. The hormones are going and teenagers become curious and ready to explore. What adults can do, as well as teens though? Adults should teach kids about sex and what is happening to them so that teens aren't so lost, confused and they get what's going on. Teens that do not know should look up things and ask questions because if they don't get it, really, they aren't 'mature' enough to be having sex. Some things teens should know before engaging in sexual activities: - STDs are highest in teens. The spreading of STDs because many teens practice unprotected sex and also switch partners as they are 'dating' happens. Don't assume that just because your potential partner is young that he or she hasn't been with someone else and that he/she is ok. Adults learn to ask questions about a person's sexual prior activities as they are getting to know the other partner -before- having sex. Some adults even go to get physicals before so as to make sure they are clean. Teens don't have the luxury of going for a physical except for the school requirements so make sure to use the one thing you can do, which is ask and hope the partner is truthful with you. Also, read up on signs of STDs so that if you are with that person, if there are some weird things you note, you can say no and that the person should get checked out before you will consider sleeping with them. - Pregnancy is another thing to think about. Many people will say teens should not have sex because there is the possibility of it. The best thing adults can say to teens is that it -can- happen and that if you are going to sleep around, know that if you do so unprotected, you are going to end up with a kid. Teens should realize that there are other things to do too that can be as gratifying as full intercourse. They do not have to go 'all the way' every time. Whether you like protection or not, if you have unprotected full out sex, a baby can occur. Be cautious in that way. - Relationships lasting? Some people seem to think that if you have sex in the relationship, it's going to make it last longer. I would have to say that this is not true. Teenager relationships tend to not last that long as many start up in school and then die when summer hits. Some last for quite a short period of time while others, the students actually can see each other and continue things and like each other enough to do so. Often, there are petty reasons why teenagers break up too. Sex doesn't make relationships last longer for adults or teens. If anything, when done too soon, the mystery of what sex would be like with that person is over. If you were in the relationship because you were gaga over some girl or guy and obsessed, often, that obsession can die after having sex even once if you do the act too soon. It's far better to get to know the boy or girl you are interested in other ways, kiss and do some light stuff in the beginning, and -then- move onto sex because you will know your partner more. No relationships whether when adults do them or teens, last long when sex is all the two people know each other for. Remember that there is a difference between what passion/obsession is and love. Having sex always changes the relationship and sometimes it can make things last, other times no. Most of the time if the sex is done too early, you can say the relationship is probably going to die. It's a very intimate act and though people may not have intended it, feelings change after. Knowing those things, I would say teens should be allowed to have sexual relations. They are going to no matter what. Being sexually mature is going to encourage it. I would just hope that any teens that do also are mentally mature enough to handle things so yeah, to help out with that, I wrote what I did since some adults won't bother saying it point blank. As long as teens do what 'smart' adults do (since not all are so smart or caring) and they know what to watch for and what they are getting into, they are as prepared as they are going to be.
Yukichin, please stop double-posting. You can edit to add more to a post you've made prior if no one has responded before your last post.
I'd probably still play it because the story is good and the game play rux. I really don't get grossed out by gay things, though I'm straight. It's a kid's game anyway so it's not like you'd see them making out or something. If I had to watch yaoi scenes, yeah, I wouldn't bother getting the game because I have no connection to it. I've watched movies though with gay couples and it didn't bug me really since I knew ahead of time heh.
Well, I wouldn't wear it. >.>
That thing is too cute. I wonder if they got it from Hawaii.
Nah, I think it's perfect.
I post because I love the Colbert motif going on there, ICSP. xD

1) What religious denomination do you belong to? None, though I do practice some things from Buddhism, mostly for the actual science of meditation and such. I am more a philosopher and examiner of things instead. 2) How often do you attend a religious service (once a week, once a month, etc) (if your religion does not include this, please put N/A)? A few times a year I have gone to a Buddhist temple for meditation lessons but I do not attend any religious service. 3) How often do you engage in religious ritual weekly (prayer, communion, other similar things)? Not at all. 4) Do you feel that religion in general is still relevant to your daily life? To me personally, no. However, when dealing with others who are religious, I do have an understanding of it as I was once too. For my own decisions in daily life, I do things because I feel they are more beneficial and positive to others and myself to do. 5) On a scale from 1-10, with one being not relevant at all, how relevant is it (how often does your religion affect what you do)? Not at all since I am not at all religious. I cannot say it does not affect how others view me when they learn I am not religious, but that's another matter. Answer = 1. Hope that helps you out and good luck on your report!
