    Yuppers! I got it with Final Mix last July. Pretty late, but the price had gone down considerably by then, so it was pretty nice. It's not like I had to wait that long either, I didn't even actually consider importing it until March-April last year :P

    I hated her English voice the first time I heard it. Now... I still don't like it, but I think it's okay. It just doesn't suit her as well as her Japanese voice did. Her voice in the Japanese game was perfect. The English... meh. I don't hate it anymore, but I don't like it either.

    I love the music in all three games. CoM has some of the best. The version of Dearly Beloved that plays at the title screen is my favorite out of all three games. The rest of the music is wonderful, too.

    I saw a video on YouTube with a picture of them kissing... I didn't believe it, I figured it had to be photoshopped. So I searched and sure enough, it was edited. I was ticked off, even though I knew it was fake.

    I personally think Vexen's laugh is creepier o.O But yes, the Replica's laugh is pretty strange too. I have the Japanese version of the game so I hear both of their laughs a lot. Lucky me...

    I like it, except for the orange bit. That sort of clashes with the rest of the colors. But I do like the general color scheme. Nice job ;)

    Oh, but don't you know? Religion is based on stupidity and lack of thought. Christians follow the belief blindly and never question it. They are, as Styx implied in an earlier post, idiots.

    Seriously, it's not like we just absorb everything we're told without any thought. A lot of Christians consider what they're told carefully and give it a lot of thought. And yes, there are quite a few incredibly intelligent Christians out there. And there are quite a few intelligent atheists. There are intelligent people and stupid people in every belief system. I just don't appreciate it when someone labels an entire religious group as idiotic, whether that person is targeting Christianity, atheism, or any other belief.

    God doesn't do a lot of things he could do. Why not? I as a Christian am really interested in that. We question God too.

    There could be consequences for those actions that we do not understand. We think they would be fine, but there could be side effects no one could think of.

    If you have sex before marriage, you are already quite irresponsible. But I will pretend otherwise in order to answer your point. If "responsible" means using condoms, you can still get STDs with condoms. Hate to rock your uninformed little world, but it happens quite often. Condoms do not work 100% of the time.

    No, but it helps. Some people do get divorces, yes. But there are many, many who don't. And yes, marriage has its own set of problems. Are you saying that living together without being married doesn't?

    And for the record, marriage works much better in general than living together unmarried.

    No, you don't. But if the couple is committed to helping each other, don't you think that they'll have an easier time raising a child with each other's help?
    As for making it harder for the guy to leave, that's ridiculous. The guy can leave anytime he wants to, married or unmarried. But chances are, if he's married, he's going to have less trouble resisting the urge to leave when things get rough. That's what marriage is all about; sticking together in times of difficulty and being there for one another. Unmarried couples can do that too. But it is much less likely, since they're not even willing to get married. Marriage also is harder to walk out on, and the consequences are more dire than when you leave someone you're not married to.

    It's wrong because it diminishes the meaning of the action. And what if the girl gets pregnant? For the couple, having sex is on their shoulders. It's their problem. But that baby is going to pay for their irresponsibility. That's why it's wrong.

    Who's talking about banning it?

    How could either of the "parties" (if that's what we'll use instead of partner) get an STD without having sex with multiple people in the first place? If the guy doesn't have sex with anyone, and the girl doesn't have sex with anyone, then how could they get an STD?

    No. They stick together because they love each other and are committed to one another. Marriage just makes a big deal and a celebration out of it to help the couple understand the importance of their decision.

    Really? You don't? Gosh, you could've fooled me! And marriage is a contract, but it is so much more than that. I have already explained what marriage is, and I will not do it again. And you're right, love shouldn't be a contract in the sense of the word you're using. But marriage isn't a contract in that sense.

    No, it did not. Would you like me to quote the Bible where it says that God wants us to be married?

    No, you did not. I assumed that's what you thought. My mistake.

    I never said you couldn't be committed. I said that marriage was a way to show your love and commitment for someone. If a couple isn't even willing to get married, how committed can they truly be?

    Again, marriage just works better than living together without getting married.

    Again, I will not attempt to explain to you. You won't get it and you will laugh it off. Perhaps I would be willing to try if I knew you would actually consider anything I might say.

    Stop believing in faith? Uh... right. I'll file that to the Department of Redundancies Department. Maybe they can fix it.

    Why on earth can you not be religious and still agree with science/maths/logic at the same time? I believe in evolution, but I am no less Christian than another who thinks evolution is crap.

    And for that to be your "dear wish" just shows what kind of person you are.

    Okay, so you're going to tear someone's faith up one side and down the other, and then you're going to explain why your belief is so much better? I'm sure that will make the person feel much better.

    You don't understand the religion you're mocking. You don't even understand the the half of it it. You are in no place to be destroying it.

    ...alright. If that's what you want to think, then do so. I cannot stop you. But remember that I did not immediately judge you. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and some time to express yourself in a way that was not mocking and offensive. I gave you a chance. It was a hell of a lot more than what you gave me.

    Then why didn't you say that was your question, instead of just hinting at it? Jeez Louise...

    The difference is that married couples have formally stated that they are committed. Unmarried couples have not. Married couples are more likely to stick together than unmarried couples are. Marriages work better in general, for reasons I have already stated.

    How many times has the world been predicted to end now? And how many times has it actually ended? That's BS.

    Wait a second... what?!? It's not just any normal prediction? It's the last day on the calendar!? Oh no, it must be the last day in the world! The calendar knows all! The world ends with the calendar!

    I watched that ad carefully, and I did not see anything about Congress restricting freedom of speech. The purpose of the ad is to get teens to stop saying stupid things like "That's so gay!" It's not saying that you're not allowed to say that, it's just trying to get you to think about what you're saying before you say it.

    Your free speech is not being taken away from you in any way.

    That's ridiculous. Sex is pleasurable for humans. It's stupid to think that God would make it pleasurable only for married couples. We are all human. What is God going to do, change the structure of our bodies after we're married? Change them back if we get a divorce?

    Okay.

    1. People who have sex before marriage with multiple people are very likely to contract an STD. I don't know about you, but spending the rest of my life with AIDS doesn't sound very fun to me.

    2. If two people decide to have sex because they feel really "in love", and they find that they're not in love, what happens to both partners? You think they come out of that situation thinking "Eh, it was a mistake, but no biggie!"? They are emotionally scarred for the rest of their lives.

    3. If a girl gets pregnant, then more often than not the guy will run for it as soon as he finds out he got his girlfriend pregnant. And don't try and tell me that sometimes guys stay, I know they do, but more of them leave than stay. The girl will have to raise a child by herself with no support from anyone else. Either that, or get the baby aborted, after which many women feel as if they murdered their child (some get nightmares from it). The women could also give the child up for adoption when she knows she can't support it, but that is a heartbreaking and terribly difficult thing for the mother to do, something I don't think you'd be able to grasp simply because you're so unbelievably insensitive.

    Does that help you a little? Don't worry if you can't understand it, many people don't :\

    Oh, really? That's interesting. Because anyone with half a brain could realize that sex before marriage is a bad idea, because of the reasons I listed above. So either, people don't think before having sex, or they do think but don't see any problems (in other words, they're unbelievably stupid).

    Marriage doesn't provide immunity. However, if neither partner ever has sex before marriage, then there is almost a 0% chance of either contracting an STD from the other.

    And yes, I do realize that. But more often than not, a married couple will be able to raise a child (whether they had that child on purpose or not) better than an unmarried couple. Why? Because marriage keeps the couple strong, and when living together gets rough (it ALWAYS does) the married couple will be able to keep it together better than the unmarried couple, because an unmarried couple usually isn't committed, or at least not as much as they need to be for their idea to work.

    Sure, you can quote. You know why? Because what I said about God wanting married couples to have sex does not even slightly contradict what I quoted from the Bible. Here's what I said, combined into one sentence: God wants us to have sex, but only when we're married. Is that self-contradictory? No? That's funny, because that's exactly what I said, just in two different sentences.

    How am I twisting your words, exactly?

    Marriage is not a charade. At least, I hope not. If it's a charade to you, then you shouldn't be there. Marriage is a way to celebrate a couple's decision to commit to one another, and involve the family. It's a way to bond the couple together and keep them committed to one another.

    There are some experiences that one cannot explain. I cannot help you since you are so far beyond understanding. You will not understand. You cannot possibly understand.

    How do you know that he doesn't have any idea how atheists think? I was once an atheist myself and know others who were, I know very well how they think. And sadly, quite a few are bent on making people stop believing in their current faith, whatever it may be. You seem to be one of them, simply because of the way you approach the entire subject.

    So you're not going to "crush" their faith. You're just going to try and explain to them why their faith is silly and useless? Is there a difference? And it's not faith in something vague. That is the last time I am going to say that to you, because it's clear you are so determined to mock other beliefs that you will not even consider what I or anyone else says to you. I wasn't sure before, I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm certain. You have no respect for other beliefs and you do get pleasure from tearing them down.

    Seriously? You just laughed off everything he said? I pity you. I really do. I feel sorry that you have to be in the position that you're in, and am very thankful that I am not in such a position. I really, truly have pity for you.

    EDIT:
    ...I had to reread that several times to make sure I was actually reading it correctly. I cannot believe you would really say that to someone when they are offended and upset by your insensitivity. The only words I can think of to describe what you said are mean and uncaring. I am sorry that you are unable to see things from another person's point of view and show some kindness and compassion.

    I don't think "most Christians" ignore the Old Testament. There are quite a few who don't, actually.

    I never questioned why logic was being brought into the discussion...

    :bangbang: I've already explained this to you, but you have chosen to ignore it.

    No, most animals do not stick to one partner for mating. And yes, some do have sex for pleasure as well as reproduction. But as I've said before (you know what I'm talking about) the feelings of humans are much more complex than the feelings of a cat or a goldfish. Our feelings can be damaged by sex being used incorrectly much more so than a bird's feelings can.

    Also, reality has shown that a child who grows up in a stable home with two parents who stick together is better off than a child without that.

    I actually lol'd at that. That was stupid, and it was funny. I'm sorry, I really am, but there's absolutely no nice way to describe what you just said.

    God did not make sex pleasurable so that we could get in more trouble. He made it pleasurable so that married couples who have sex grow closer and their love will grow stronger. He also made it pleasurable so that we would actually be willing to reproduce.

    And as for being unable to resist temptation... that's total crap. "I just couldn't resist it!" is not an excuse. One chooses to have sex, one gives in to temptation. But one isn't "unable to resist temptation". All that does is show how weak you are for having no discipline and/or willpower.

    It's not a question of whether they can do it properly. The point is that it's good idea to be married before having children. Do you want some reasons why?

    Oh yes, I knew that all along. I was just testing you, and you passed. Congratulations :)

    But you do have a bit of a point.

    Oh, that's right. Stupid me. If something gives you pleasure, you should just do it, shouldn't you? Live for the moment and don't think about the future or what your decisions could bring. By golly, if you enjoy something, then you should do it. No exceptions! You just do whatever gives you pleasure at that exact moment with no thought as to what the consequences could be.

    Is sex always pleasurable? Is it pleasurable for teenage girls who get pregnant and the father runs? Is it pleasurable for girls who give their babies up for adoption because they know they're unable to support the child? Is is pleasurable for a woman who gets an abortion and later on end up feeling as if she murdered her child? Is it pleasurable for a woman to raise a child by herself, with no outside help? Is it pleasurable for men who end up being fathers, but who aren't allowed very much input or to see their child, even though they're paying lots of money for child support? Is it pleasurable for someone who contracts an STD?

    Now, ask yourself this: Do any of the problems I just listed exist in marriage?

    No, the Bible does not say we're not supposed to have sex. You have obviously not read the Bible. "As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it." Genesis 9:7. Now, does that look like it's saying you can't have sex?

    So it's no longer traditional for people in love to get married? Gosh, times sure have changed.

    How is it that the Bible is the only way to know God? Many people find God in other ways than the Bible. Heck, I know a former atheist who discovered God through her study of astrophysics.

    Sometimes I do. It depends on the mood I'm in. If I'm in a goofy or whimsical mood, then yes, I'll go back and redo them. I will also try and get "Excellent" on everything when I'm really bored.

    Yes, it's made to reproduce. But believe it or not, you're actually not supposed to reproduce with your boyfriend/girlfriend/person you met two days ago. You're supposed to reproduce with your husband or wife. I don't see how sex being made for reproduction keeps it from also being made for marriage. If you can find a reason why, please enlighten me. I'd love to hear your reasoning.

    This is a hard concept for some people to grasp, but sex is also something done for pleasure. Why do you think some people rape others? Don't hurt your head on this one, but if you take it nice and slowly, you realize that it's because of the pleasure they get from it, not because they want to have a child with someone they saw at a store.

    Sex is a gift; however, it is something only to be shared between a married couple. Please explain to me why you should have sex when you're not married.

    Um... I'm quite aware of that, thank you. Women and girls get pregnant all the time when they're not married. You think I haven't noticed? Jeez, I'm not living with my head in the sand. But just because people do it doesn't make it a good idea or what God wants.

    The Bible says that's what God wants. Believing the Bible kind of goes hand-in-hand with believing in God, since the Bible is the word of God, you know? And you're right, nobody among "us mortals" can comprehend how He was created or how He exists. What does that have to do with knowing what He wants for us?

    Oh my gosh... you just stated all of my thoughts and feelings on God. I second your entire post. Wonderful job!

    That's what I think too: nobody created God, He's just been there all along.

    Again, I totally agree. Jesus was God himself, coming to earth, but God was still actually in Heaven (it's pretty hard to explain, but you did a nice job of it) And that's good that you admit to not completely grasping the concept. I don't pretend that I entirely understand it myself. But some people do...

    *cries in happiness* Somebody else actually understands that sex is only for marriage!:woohoo: Yes, it's God's wish for us to wait until we're married to have sex. He created it specifically as something for a married couple to share and a way for them to become closer.

    Yes, God will forgive you for your sins if you ask Him to. Even though you won't go to Hell just because you envy someone, you still need to ask His forgiveness, and if you do He'll forgive you.

    And of course it's all right if you do that. I'm not recommending it, but nothing bad will happen if you do.
