Yer killin' us, du..girl. killin' us.
I'm going to be 26 soon.. Well, at least I act my age. >.> Of course, that number would have dropped if the question about tv shows had been nearly any other cartoon than Spongebob.
Yes, you can.
Damn. That's as stupid as how Sarah Palin thought it was a great idea to allow strafe runs on wolves in Alaska. They don't use the animals for anything, just kill them. I can understand if there's an overpopulation issue but things could be done a lot neater than that. And 80 bucks a head? wow. Couldn't call the guy a serial killer anymore than I could call Sarah Palin one, but I can say that's pretty brutal and the approach to the problem is just all wrong.
Yeah, sure.
That's the point of researching and exploring and not just accepting what someone tells you without proof. Religion -tells you- everything. Science is exploring and discovering. Philosophy is researching and thinking. Religion is telling you what to do and that is the way it is. It even lays out for you the purpose and meaning of everything including your own future if you don't do this or that. Point is, we may never have all the answers and so what? Some of us in life are content with saying 'I do not know' and we can leave a question open for debate. Others have to have their answers and if they don't have any, they slide something else in, whether it's a spaghetti monster, some deity, a a pink unicorn, etc. This is the difference between those who are religious and those who are not. The point is religion is written by mankind so that even if there were ever deities or spirits of nature, fae, youkai etc... humans always get it -wrong-. This is why there are tons of interpretations on the monotheistic deity especially. Some people sit there and say 'what does God care about whether someone is gay or straight?'. 'why is God such an angry God and jealous of other gods if none are supposed to exist?' etc. People are naturally going to question things and that is not 'religious' to do so. It is spiritual, philosophical and cognitive. Interpretations changed because times changed and also there are glaring errors in the books that children can point out. I know because I was one of those children. Religion for some cultures was used to explain things and give stories etc. The monotheistic religion was designed to hold a society together and give it constraints and rules. Buddhism was made not for a society but for the person to seek a path of enlightenment and really, the purpose of it was not religious, but philosophical. Basic Buddhism is not a religion and has even been incorporated into quite a few other religions because of its lack of a deity in base form. There's a difference there. Jesus is questionable because his history mirrors Horus and a few other former deities at the same time as trying to suffocate those deities from existence. Even Jesus's birth resembled Horus's. This is what is deplorable is that some religions raped from other religions and get away with it because it becomes mainstream. The control over people in a society by religion is also deplorable. People -can- have morals and ethics without religion. They can also lack morals and ethics with religion. In the end, just because someone is religious does not mean he/she will be inherently a decent person. There are many reasons to find problems with the main organized religions of today, not just for crimes of yesterday, but for those that go on today with activist religious groups such as Evangelical Protestants. If you don't see these things, how can you tell us what we find to be so horribly wrong? It just is amusing to me that most Atheists have studied religion more so than those who claim to be religious and yet we are always told we don't know what we are talking about. Maybe it's because we study -multiple- religions. The Creationist Theory is not a theory. It is a story, perhaps a philosophy at best that was carved in stone for the Monotheistic religion. The Big Bang Theory is a Theory because there is some evidence to support it as a possibility. There is nothing but pieces of paper to say that Creationism is at all even a hypothesis. In science, there has to be some kind of validation or proof and writing a book is not that. Also, there were creation ideals from deities long before Judaism so why aren't those theories too? Why? Because the Monotheistic followers have declared that it isn't true. This is the same reason why in High School, people fight constantly to make sure a world religious class is never allowed so that the major religions can be explored by students and they could pick and choose or decide to not follow any. This is also why the Monotheistic extremists out there try to get Creationism taught in science class instead. Science is -not out to disprove religion-. However, religion does not deserve to be taught in science. Do you even see the hypocrisy here? People are denied the right to even research what they want to because of the push of a dominant religion to kill science and also other religions. If you want to say anyone is intolerant, go after those people who refuse to let people have the choices in front of them clear as day instead of spending time saying Atheists are so intolerant. We're sick of hypocrisy and that really is all there is left to say on it. It's a ridiculous double-standard that some of us simply don't care to follow. You also said that it is amusing that Atheists would say they 'have friends who are religious' comparing it to racists who say 'I have blacks as friends' etc. The point is, we do. Those friends however, and the Atheist respect one another for the -people- we are because we are decent people and not pushing our inner core belief of religion or lack of it on one another. We also all tend to see the mistakes out there. The religious friends I have do not mind, even if they don't get it, why I have no belief in what they do. I don't mind or get it why they believe in what they do. However, we all can see some of the great wrongs out there done and we respect one another's rights to believe in what we want to. We also see the good in us as in we disdain racism acts, we abhor rape, we don't care for murdering either, we're not biased against gays, we don't bully other people, we attempt to not lie or steal etc, we tell dirty jokes to one another, we help each other when one of us is down. Whatever the reason as to why we all found out to be semi-decent people, we did, and -that- is what matters. Friends and even family do not always see eye to eye on every issue we feel or believe in. That's reality.
Love me Forevah Organ Questionnaire 1. How old are you? 25 2. Where do you live? (Country) U.S.A. 3. On a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you know about organ/tissue donation? Probably around a 9 or 10. 4. What information would you like to know or would you have liked to have known more of regarding organ donation? I learned more in college studying science, so yeah, it doesn't hurt that students in high school could learn of how useful tissue, skin and organ donation is and who it benefits. About all we were told about in Drivers Ed was about organ donation itself which can save lives. 5. Are you an organ donor? Why or why not? Yes, I've been one since I first had a driver's license. I believe that when I die, I won't be needing those organs anymore and if they can help save someone's life and allow them to be able to do things they certainly can't while waiting on the list to get an organ, then I'm doing one last good thing on this earth. 6. Did your knowledge or lack of knowledge effect your decision? If so which one and why? Nah, I'd say I knew enough about it to decide to do it, though my parents were a bit miffed at me since they are kind of paranoid about organ donation. I can say that's something to really address sometime is the worry that people have about someone pulling the plug on a person in a coma because that was the argument my parents and I had over organ donation. 7. Do you know anyone who has donated/received an organ/tissue? Yes, a couple people. One is a good friend who had a kidney transplant after he had a serious bout with cancer. I know of others who have had transplants but that's the person who has made me know how important it is since he waited so long on a list and was on a machine and all because of it. 8. Are your parents organ donors? If not, do you know why? No, they are not. My dad may have changed his mind and says he's considering it but my mom won't because she's paranoid that if she were in a coma, they'd unplug her and harvest her organs. She won't lose that fear. 9. Did your parents influence your decision to be or not an organ donor? Nope, since we disagreed heavily on my decision. Of course, they also disagreed on my choice to want to be cremated instead of buried, but like the organ donation, they have no choice. 10. Do your parents know your wishes on organ donation? Yes, and I wrote out a living will and will to ensure they follow it because my mom has a tendency to do what she feels is best and I don't want my wishes to be ignored because she's nervous or wants an 'old fashioned funeral'. 11. Did/Are you going through Drivers Ed through your local DMV office? Or through an online course or home study? I went through Driver's Ed in high school, in 11th grade. 12. During the course did they mention organ donation? Yes, a police officer actually came in and spoke to us a bit on it, as well as drunk driving and drug abuse. 13. Do you have a Drivers Permit or license? License. 14. How long when you got your permit were you given to make a decision if you wanted to be an organ donor? I had my underage license at 17, and when I turned 18, I made the choice since I could not before that due to being a minor. I would say during that time, about 5 months. 15. Did you know before you went to the DMV that they would ask you about becoming an organ donor? I was not really asked at the DMV. There was a box to check on the form and so I did check it. No one mentioned it otherwise. There was however a poster for it. 16. Where do you think it would be beneficial to put information about organ donation for new drivers? The local DMV office, Health classes, etc. Any other suggestions? I think the local DMV of course, in the Driver's Ed classes if people take those in school, Health Class is a good one too. Maybe in the hallways where they like to put up other posters for corporate stuff anyway in schools now. >.> It'd be nice to have a poster with purpose up around there.
I could have poisoned that cookie. I never know what I will do. These interrogations can be so brutal.
Thanks. :)

Should make his a different color since he's not really 'helping' is he. lol Cherry - accused someone so it is possible she's not connected. VideoGameNerd246 Blue colored names mean 'less suspicious' and most likely they are solid detectives. All of the original people now who joined the game have been investigated so I think for the time being, we can assume they are likely not our targets and so we should try to work together more solidly. Jayn and Atlas are not in the group of detectives so we can perhaps investigate their user profiles and see latest people to both of their pages, let alone the others recently and that may give us something to go off of if we find similarities. We need to watch for invisible people and 'guests' as well. At least we can say we've cleared out the initial people who joined, for the most part. of course this does not mean any cannot later be 'swayed' but we'll see how it goes. Those of you who have accused have nothing to lose, so if you want to take some more accusations of the remaining people, go for it, or if you find something good, go for it. The Kira is letting you hang around either by not looking in here or knowing we'd go at ourselves first, so take the initiative and let's clear us out at least. I'd say.. do it fast before things could change hands. >.>
He was now, yes, but we'll see. Those who have already accused and are still around.. since you are kind of here on borrowed time anyway, you may want to accuse other people on the list so that we can get them cleared or not and well, move our investigations further. Then we will know for sure whether the Kira is one of us or outside of who we have listed. The remaining detectives from there, if those who guessed are gone, can then team up and locate the Kira based on the evidence we have up. Shinigami - ICSP The Dead ワンダ Died at 10:25 PM.

little cousins are like that. xD
Hot damn.. can't let this go on. ~~
you can put in a name change request to the premie area and I'll change it and hello to you. ~
