  1. What the defendant believes and how he reacted is unimportant. The Judges actions are what need to be scrutinized. Religion should stay the hell out of an American court unless it is reasonably unavoidable (court cases over crimes against or by a church, things like that). First, the Bible verses part. I'm going to ask you to pretend that this individual forced to write them was a devout believer of another religion; any other religion. Now our oh-so-wonderful Judge is forcing him to do something against his own beliefs. This now becomes a blatantly obvious violation of his freedom of religion. Something we Americans take great pride in; although this pride is mostly misplaced, as evidenced by this case. Secondly, the marriage part. Forget about the religious aspect of marriage. Plenty of atheists get married, so marriage is not exclusive to religion. Let's think about this bride for moment. If we consider this an alternative penalty for the man's crimes, doesn't that mean that his spouse-to-be is going to be penalized as well? And what crime is she being punished for? Now, I'm going to correct one very important misunderstanding. The Judge COERCED them into marriage. We have laws against forced marriage, and these laws define forced marriage more than broadly enough to cover this. In other words, not only did the Judge over step his bounds in the murky gray area of American religious politics, he broke a well defined law. Oh, I'm sorry. INTERNATIONAL LAW. As in, a law defined by the UN which includes this sentence: “No marriage shall be entered into without the free and full consent of the intending spouses.” Would these two have married eventually? Maybe; they didn't seem opposed. But nothing was in order for them to be married at this point in time. They definitely weren't planning on it. If we assume they already had a date in mind for their wedding, it sure wasn't this soon. In other words, they are getting married sooner than they wanted because of a Judge's court ruling. Simplified: they are getting married because of a Judge's court ruling. Does that sound like "free and full consent" to you? (Feel free to correct any mistakes I made. I only learned this stuff myself over the course of the past few hours, so if I said something you know is inaccurate, please set me straight.)
  2. ... The same way you start playing Reborn? I've seen you around here before, I'm assuming you've gotten Reborn to work.
  3. Have you ever seen a trailer that was just so bad you knew it had to be by Shyamalan?

      No, but I'd love to.

      I can't find a video, but it's an ad on Youtube that keeps torturing me. It's for 'The Visit'.

  4. That has to be the best one I've seen so far.
  5. I've gotten much better at knowing when it's worth pointing out or caring about grammar or spelling mistakes, but a break in established sequence or format really gets under my skin. Even if it's a tiny little thing.

  6. Ahhh!! It came back while my power was out during a storm!

  7. I don't think walnuts count as a 'healthier snack food alternative' when you eat a 1/2 lb of them.

  8. Also, you need to have beaten Radomus to complete the quest that this is a part of. I don't know how much can be completed until then.
  9. I'm thinking about showing up on the Minecraft server, but I'm a n00b at Minecraft outside of goofing off with my niece. Is it a nice place, or am I going to have to learn fast to survive?

      Eh, people all just kinda do their own thing. It's not like a factions server where everyone has to live underground or their items will be stolen

  10. That makes no sense. After all, you can nickname both the Croagunk and the Nidorina.
  11. I can't get a job which means I have plenty of free time but I can't afford to do anything because I don't have a job but I can't get a job-

      The best part is, when I get a job, the cycle will reverse.

      well we are in the same boat... :/

      ^ no, on the same cycle.

  12. Is Rejuvenation really all that? I've seen a lot of good stuff about it... I might just have to try it now.

      If you like Reborn, you'll like Rejuvenation. They have many similarities.

      it's amazing, just play it.

      ^I'm surprised a lot of people haven't...

  13. YES! This is exactly what I think, too. "Let not them suffer to the poison in vain." Seriously, who talks like that!? A teenager going through that trying-to-be-cool-and-mysterious-but-really-looking-like-a-dork phase. That's who.
  14. I never have any clue what I'm doing, but I'm getting better at pretending I do. Maybe I'll even convince myself someday.

  15. GLITTER. GLITTER EVERYWHERE.

      Glitter on my hands, glitter on my clothes, glitter on my desk...

      I hate those cards.

  16. Feel free to send the alpha my way, too. I'm really good at breaking games. If there's a problem, I will find it.
  17. So, it’s my first time making a resume, and my dad gave me his so I could have an idea of what to do. I am now so impressed by the level of believable BS he’s capable of.

      I'm awful at resumes... my last boss wrote mine for me. :P

      "A multi-unit Management position that will allow me to utilize my experience and knowledge with the opportunity to grow in responsibility and income." Seriously. He got a job with this?!

  18. Woohoo! Good job on the menu fix. I'm glad you got it working.
  19. I feel generous, so I'll share a little insider information about the first wild Pokemon you'll encounter: Route 1 is occupied by nothing but level 100 Gothitelles that always have the ability Shadow Tag; their only known moves are Recycle and Rest. Also, everything on Route 1 has a 100% chance of holding a Leppa Berry.
  20. I'm betting that if there's a ghost type Eeveelution, it'd evolve by knowing Curse.
  21. I'm actually quite glad for that. As much fun as it is to see the original mons for this game, I'd rather learn about the Eeeveelutions by playing.
  22. You also have to have beaten Radomus, I believe.
  23. Yeah, after you've put the data chip in the Beldum quest can be done the same way that it used to.
  24. Believe me, there are big plans for the story...
  25. On the one hand I want to say, "This looks so awesome!", but on the other hand I feel like that might be a little arrogant. So... even WITHOUT the stuff I helped with, this looks really, really cool.
