    First Video Game played?

    First-first I do believe was Metroid on the Super Nintendo when we used to rent the gaming console from the Video Rental Store - ooooooh, now talk about nostalgia.

    Exited for any new games?

    Dragon Age 3, definitely one on my radar I'm anticipating, but in the terms of closer-to-date games the newest Assassin's Creed, Zelda for 3DS, Pokemon X & Y and ... erm, well, those are the one's I am most looking forward to getting my hands on.

    Do you think about things a lot?

    My mind is constantly going 99/nothing seemingly, skipping between topics and interconnect things one never thought would relate. Sometimes I focus heavily on decent, fluff thoughts such as the weather, some random landscape that catches my eye, squirrels, etc, and often my mind snags on...

    Chit Chat Zone

    ... I was so excited, I had three messages in my inbox and I couldn't image who'd want to strike up a conversation with me here. Needless to say I was disappointed when I noted they were en mass generated messages. Though on to the books, consultants do not always charge, you could go into...

    New forum hopping

    I've no issue joining a new forum if I have an interest in said forum, but there's also an issue of establishing "what constitutes a new forum?" One year, two years? Five weeks, Five months? When does a forum exist the scene of "new" and bridge into the realm of established? I think one should...

    Cyber Bullying

    My computer was actually hijacked while I was working so I only managed to post what I had, ergo the "I'll have to finish this later" bit. My point with rape or sex trafficking is the person did not act with the intention of being bullied after. To say their suicide, which came about because...

    Cyber Bullying

    You're argument is they bring it upon themselves (even the one's who invite it), so you mean to say anyone who knowingly does something therefore devoid their right to protection? You realize it is not so simple and quite close minded to say such. Technology makes it easier to block individuals...

    What are your days off?

    You know, some people work every day of the week, such as me. I haven't had a day off (regularly) in almost a year. The only days I get off or when the college are closed so I do not have to go in for classes or work on campus.

    This is actually a very large misnomer: staff do not generate activity, though they can. Doing so repetitively results in psychological and sociological issues, actually (see helicopter moms). You all may find me absurd in my comparison, but there is truth in it. A community is not comprised...

    Cyber Bullying

    To me, e-drama differs significantly from cyber bullying considering the cases of e-bullying I am acquainted with. The issue with online media and social networking is how much people put themselves on the line while on line. People have taken to interpreting online hate/cyber bulling as very...

    Origin of usernames

    Sk8 is derived from my old email account which contained "skater_girl," and happened to be the first real account I made on a forum back in 2005 I have actively stayed a part of; however, everyone always dropped the rest of my name and called me "Sk8," so I stuck to that later on when I created...

    I have always been opposed to creating fake accounts to generate activity, post exchanges, member exchanges and the like because then you are filling your forum with garbage - you are mass producing yourself and therefore devoid the forum of the unique qualities different personalities give to...

    Wholly depends on the forum there, Theez, the audience pull you have, what sort of advertising is already being done and more: lots of things go into it.

    Young children becoming 'desensitised to pornography'

    Well considering E.L. James used unsafe (and life-threatening, dangerous) examples of BDSM in her novel, I think it is a problem. Becoming meh is one thing, but there is the whole issue of sexually transmitted diseases, falling prey to sexual predators and more. Does something need to be...

    Man Tattoos Pet Pit Bull

    I have tattoos and the pain is relative: the sensory receptors to an animal (in the way the experience pain) compared to a human also makes the argument moot to a point if we simply discuss levels of pain; this animal was not aggressively beaten, and tattooing is a type of branding. However...

    What are a Surrogate's Rights? Woman's Controversial Pregnancy in Spotlight

    And what rights is a child guaranteed? Under what broad category of child's rights' was this child guaranteed? These parents seem to have had several anomalies occur with previous attempts of pregnancy (my computer won't load the source, so I cannot read the direct source). Therefore, the...

    What are a Surrogate's Rights? Woman's Controversial Pregnancy in Spotlight

    She had the right to refuse the abortion, yes. Outside of that, debate strays away into other topic areas not directly associated with the mother's choice so much as her ethics.

    Transgender 6-year-old barred

    Depends. For example, in my elementary school, the boys in my age group had this weird, perhaps it was phallic, habit of peeing on the walls, playing in urine (and the urinals) and such. I assume they grew out of it, but I do not know. What I do know is throughout high school the boy's bathroom...

    Transgender 6-year-old barred

    No, that is my personal opinion on the matter, seasidemike; not political correctness. That this is a legal case must be handled differently from the human side of things. Secondly, this is based in the US, and my assessment of this being the next trend of social equality does not go...
