My background is a mixed bag of racism... my family is centered in a southern state where racism is still rampant, if quiet. On the other hand, I was an army brat during the 80's, and found myself in a situation where if I had six friends, they were each of a different ethnicity. Thankfully, the arm...
Because you're influencing and changing cultures through a system where it is illegal by the "supreme law of the land" to do that. And when you start changing definitions like this, where does it end? You have just allowed a government to influence and change your vocabulary (Does that so...
Sir, you have not checked your facts. Well, since you're assuming I didn't check my facts, I'll just assume you didn't read my entire post. I mentioned toward the end that an older definition of the word 'marriage' includes any two or more things that are combined in an intimate way. If the governm...
Marriage, in its definition, says that it is between a man and a woman. It is also a sacrament in some widely practiced religions. For the government to go ahead and try and change that, is also violating the First Amendment, because it is changing a religious term's meaning (the government may not...
A car, because there are places I want/need to go. Not having a car currently, I'd appreciate having a mode of transit. If you could stop war, would you, and how? If you mean war in general, no I'd not stop it. War is too valuable to the earth to dispose of, as it is the single largest contributor ...
I'm very new here and I'm lost. I don't know what to do and how to do it. Just do what I do... hang on and pretend its a plan! Okay, so snarky Whovian references out of the way, welcome to the site! I suppose your first decision is what sort of RP you want to get involved in. If you need some help ...
Oh, I do love blind offers of friendship. It's like getting a present in a misshapen box from a person you don't know... you just have no idea what it could be!
Welcome to the site, just take care not to feed the animals. Which is all of us.
However, as of late, I've found that I had really begun missing 'it' and started googling (is that a word now?) frantically to try to find some avenue of rp release. I can't even bring myself to say what came to my mind first when I read this sentence... lets just say I've had the same problem, but...
From where I stand, it looks like the good Doctor is just beating you. Unless I was asleep when the definition of trolling was changed to "winning an argument", you're resorting to trollnaming, which is frankly a pretty cheap tactic. They're not attacking you personally, or attempting to ...
@The_13th_Doctor: Are you actually trolling? If so, then good job, you got me. Otherwise, I'm going to ask you to just stop posting here. No, I am not trolling... not even sure how you got that out of anything I've said. I haven't called you names, or told you that your position is wrong, I have on...
The only things you said about writing was how it was boring to write about how two people fall in love, and more interesting to write about what happens after. That has little relevance to the discussion whether characters falling in love "too quickly" is truly detrimental to a RP. Again...
@Doctor: This isn't a discussion about love and romance in general. It's a question whether "instant romance" in RPs is really as bad as it's made out to be. My own examples were counter-arguments to the reasons this kind of romance is generally considered bad. I kinda got the impression ...
I am not, by any means, advocating poorly written instant romance. But just like anything else can be written poorly, instant romance can be written well. Are you going to say it's unrealistic? It happens in real life. And while it rarely works out, there are such occasions. Call them special, but ...
