Mah.

^So you are a red-haired phoenix with freakishly long arms?

Clearly you've never watched the Boondock Saints.

Aging does turn some Chinese's hair into a light brown or almost red before it goes gray and white. Actually my hair in the reflection of my monitor does look kinda red but it's too oily and dusty to tell.

That's nothing to be ashamed of. I am listening to Jackie Chan singing Mulan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3T9YjckhQM

@Alan - The one with the hockey hat?

what.

Where is the rest of your body? Are you in sneak mode or something?

So Krookie, do your hands reach your knees when you stand up straight?

Meta - So... any plan to move to America? Btw, if you are going to visit the Obsidian office, you would be within walking distance from my den, so watch out...

^I never thought GJK is your alt, btw. I just think he could have been the 12-year-old version of you and this is a half-compliment (or a half-diss depending on how you look at it).

Masterbation is bad because when the habits are abused it could be harmful to your sexual relationship with your spouse. As Azakon pointed out, we each has to draw the line for our own moral convictions and I simply choose the point when the egg and the sperm are combined in unity where the individual's potential future becomes whole. I hope that is clear enough.

Yay and welcome!

The fetus is obviously not an individual but it does have the potential to be an individual. The potential of life is fully realized at the moment of conception, thus though the body has yet to develop, abortion is at least guilty of destroying the potential existence of a human being and personally I value that potential no less than my own potential existence in the future. Of couse, abortion is a more complicated issue since there are cases when the mother's life is also at stake or when it involves a rape. As for whether the embryo has a soul, I don't have an opinion since I don't even have enough understanding of the soul to say that I believe in its existence.

Ok happy b-day, Baley, though I had stopped reading most of your posts when you went all Shakespeare on us but please hold no grudge against me since my English is still at middle school level.

I can't help but chuckle at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkOt7hXSJ-0

So are Mothman, Blank and Gray Jedi Knight your complementary self for this forum?

^pixies - We did. People say all kind of things when they are drunk. Also, I agree with Eldar that we are entitled to our own opinion that whether a person is better off living or dying, but neither we nor the parents have the right to force that opinion on the individuals in question.

I watched the movie Cube and I think I could have had a better time playing minesweepers.

I am tempted to borrow a camera and take a picture of my summer belly which has retired a whole bunch of my leather belts. (I blame the hot weather and all the ice cream and cold drinks.)

I think I will once again compare China's situation to that of Taiwan. Take a closer look at the resumes of the recent leaders of Taiwan's three largest political parties and you will find out that they all graduated from foreign universities in the likes of Cambridge, Cornell, and UC Berkeley. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese students studying abroad and today's Chinese population is increasingly aware of the fact that many of their government's policies are completely unacceptable for any modern country. It's true that when the Communist Party of China begins to lose its grip on the country and China becomes unstable and unpredictable, change will ensue, but that is not the favorable outcome for China, her neighbors or US. It's also true that no ruling parties are willing to reform and give up their political power, but in the past, few visionary leaders have done precisely that and brought a country weakened by corruption back to its feet. My best hope is that with the passing the current leadership of China which is still from a generation that is educated under heavy Communism brainwashing and unprogressive and the right amount of international pressure, China can reform within one or two decades.

Ha! That was way back in high school. Right now I weigh 220lb and can't even fit into those pants any more.

I am thinking about taking a trip to Alabama.

Maybe you can tattoo that over the scar. Here's an old pic I dug up. (I am the guy, btw.)

I think you have seen pretty much all the best scenes already. The story and acting are not bad. And I am listening to Last Samurai's soundtrack.
