Blargh I wanna fake some sort of illness and go home and play wotlk

[removed] Explain to me, if you can, what your "reason" is for there being an opposite sex, as it relates to gay marriage. Maybe it stems from some misguided religious belief, where you think that, since homosexuality was spoken against in the Bible it must be bad. If you're audacious enough to try and quote the Old Testament Levitic laws to me to make your case, I hope you don't wear shirts made with more than one fiber (including polyester), manage to follow all the dietary laws, are circumcised, uphold Sabbath work codes, et al. If you don't, I'll see you in whatever cozy ring of hell Dante had in mind for us. If you want to look at the New Testament, there is only one mention of this by Christ himself, while the other myriad of things he preaches against (murder, persecution, prostitution, affairs, etc) are all perfectly acceptable and do not disqualify you from being married, or dissolve a current marriage if you commit one of these offenses. The two or three other mentions of homosexuality in the New Testament are by Paul, in his writings to the Thessalonians and Corinthians. Paul's a pretty stand up guy, but he's not God. Maybe you feel that from some reproductive stand point, homosexuality is against the natural order of things. That a penis and vagina are made to go together, in order to continue a species. Homosexual (in a very literal sense--same sex) interactions are not unique to humans. Black swans, gulls, mallards, penguins, two types of dolphins, bisons, a few species of apes and monkeys, elephants, giraffes, polecats, sheep, hyenas, dragonflies, fruit flies (stop me when you're bored), hell even your own horny dog with no good prospects around, all in some form are known to practice same-sex interaction (be it sex, mating patterns, territorial dominance). So to call it unnatural; that is, not found in nature, is a little odd. But perhaps you feel that as a more sentient species, we should realize that only male and female should participate in sex--that, perhaps, the stupid dragon flies don't realize they can't knock up another guy. So if you want to argue that sex is something used for procreation, you've just started yourself down a slippery slope. Do you always have sex with a woman with the intent of making a baby? If you don't, do you realize you're in violation with a good deal of Catholic and Anglican based religions, which preach against having sex unless it is both unitive and procreative?, effectively prohibiting the use of contraception (birth-control, IUDs, condoms, morning after pills). So pick or choose. If you're religious, I hope you're following all the guidelines prescribed by your faith in regards to sex (and perhaps what to have for dinner every night), otherwise leave it alone before I call you a hypocrite. If you are non-religious and have some opposition to it from a natural standpoint, see above. Homosexuality isn't something our generation, our country, has dreamed up in the last 100 years. Homosexuality has existed across cultures and continents as far back as antiquity. Age-structured homosexuality was predominant in Ancient Greece (pederasty). Nearly all of East Asia acknowledged Gender-structured homosexuality (one person playing a more feminine, submissive role; see Dream of the Red Chamber), and is still not prohibited legally there today. Other cultures, such as Persia, Turkey, some Arabic nations (Iran - "There are no gay people in Iran") all practice (although not openly for fear of political persecution) age or gender structured homosexuality. More and more Egalitarian relationships are becoming the norm in Western cultures today. For you to come onto these forums, KNOWING that there are openly gay people in this guild who will read your comments, is the worst kind of trolling. How dare you tell me that my sexual identity is invalid because "there is an opposite sex for a reason." How dare you presume to know anything about me, to think that you could understand any of the frustration and difficulty coming to terms with a sexual identity that is unpopular in the country and time I was born into. How dare you tell me that I am not allowed to have a union with the same rights as heterosexual marriage because of some misguided, antiquated belief. How dare you come into my guild, my forums, a place where I can rely on people liking me for who I am, not who I sleep with, and stand on your soapbox and stir up trouble where it isn't needed or welcome. I'd personally gkick you the moment I got home if I felt it would stick.

anyeong haseyo!

mkoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hola puta xke no juegas? te extran~amos. regresa pronto kthx

I wonder what bros before hos is in girlspeak...

I think we are. Memphis joined the guild Dec 2, 2007, and Ezmira joined Nov 27, 2007. Since that time, we have had 199 application threads posted on our forums (some are duplicates--heck theres even one guy who's tried 3 times to get in: Crixplxy or something). So, lets say including repeats, that's 190 unique applications. I present to you, a list of people who have applied to this guild since Geo & Tim joined, using them as a reference: Noesis Phurr Extinguished Intega Accalia Limbay (not that Limbay) Dace Mayson Tafer Sasori LD Atrus Bungle Fatherpeteus Phenix Coolaz Paulaabdul Subsequent Mitsurux Oxamus Waldon Emileefrancs Parvypie Breaca (2nd app) Zinch That's 25 people in less than 1 year's time, approximately 1/8 of our total apps in a year! At this rate, I fear the plague may be spreading too quickly to be contained, and soon we'll all be mindless zombies in the cult...

Oh bibz

Well I suppose had I thought about it a little more it should have been fairly obvious to me that there could easily be more stations. Assuming Radzinsky only knew about the main island (which seems plausible since he doesn't mention the Orchid, Tempest, or Hydra in the blast door drawing), his map shows 7 stations (existing or aborted) surrounding a ? (which is the Pearl, as revealed in the final arc of Mr Eko's story). With the door revealing the Staff, the Flame, the Swan, the Pearl, and the Arrow, that leaves at least 2 undiscovered stations on the main island, plus speculation as to whether or not the "temple" on the Hydra Island is another station.

Amg! I seriously can't wait for Lost to start up again. Looks like Juliet was digging up a new station? I keep meaning to rewatch the episode where John and Ben are alone in the Swan (when Ben is their prisoner) and count the number of circles on the blast door (the picture drawn in UV ink) and compare them to the number of stations already revealed. The Swan The Flame (The comm station) The Arrow (where the survivors of the tail end, led by Ana Lucia, were hiding) The Pearl The Hydra (The station on the 'other' island where Jack Kate and Sawyer are held) The Staff (The medical station) The Looking Glass (Underwater) The Tempest (Poison gas) The Orchid (Teleport!) ...so did I miss any? I remember that the others were guarding a station door when Sayid John Sun and Jin came to rescue Jack Kate and Sawyer, but it seems like when Sayid opened it it was bricked up. Also, was the mind washing room where Alex's bf was being held part of the Hydra?

Amg amg! You're another year closer to death. Time to celebrate! http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.22154261.jpg

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology...-against-t.html Apple is contributing $100,000 to fight Proposition 8, the California ballot measure that would define marriage as only between a man and a woman. The company's announcement today came as the fight over Prop. 8 grows hotly contested, with recent polls showing the race tightening. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company said in a statement: Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees' same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person's fundamental rights-- including the right to marry -- should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8. Apple becomes the latest prominent Silicon Valley company to speak out against the measure. Google's founders gave $140,000 to the "No on 8" campaign -- $100,000 from Sergey Brin and $40,000 from Larry Page, the San Jose Mercury News reported today. The Internet company, based in Mountain View, Calif., had earlier taken the unusual step of publicly opposing the measure, which would ban same-sex marriage, saying it would have a "chilling and discriminatory effect" on many of its employees. Some supporters of Prop. 8 have said they would protest businesses that actively oppose the measure unless they make similar donations to ProtectMarriage.com, which is trying to overturn the California Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriages. "Our campaign is a campaign of the people," Sonja Eddings Brown, deputy communications director on Yes on 8, said today following Apple's announcement. "We knew we would never be able to compete with the large corporations and Hollywood. We represent the families. We are standing up and pushing back with everything we have." "I respect everyone's views," she said, "and if it's a corporate view, great." -- Michelle Quinn
