Purgatorio

A male Cane Toad will bonk anything.

Organisations like GLAAD don't have a problem with this ad because it might offend someone, the problem is the message it sends, that gay is bad and must be fought against, and the possible effects this can have. This ad alone won't cause that, but it is part of the larger problem. If anything the ad makes fun of homophobes, although the additional scene with the football team is straight out homophobia. The difference is in how persecuted a group is, or how persecuted they perceive themselves to be. If rednecks were treated the say way that gays are today, I doubt they'd so happy. Same goes with any group. How ridiculously arrogant of you to claim to know what's in the hearts and minds of all men everywhere! And you've even conveniently countered any arguments men might make by accusing them of being liars. And just what does it mean to be "a tiny bit homophobic"? If, for example, a woman goes her whole life without ever thinking or saying or doing anything sexist, but them one day makes a joke about men, is she then to be forever labeled "a tiny bit sexist"? Every person is capable of being homophobic/sexist/racist, but it's stupid to label people based on what they might do or say or think or feel. If a man lives his whole life without ever consciously doing/saying/thinking/feeling anything homophobic then it makes no sense to claim he is "a tiny bit homophobic", and to apply the label to him simply removes any meaning from the word. Claiming that everyone is a tiny bit homophobic/sexist/racist is just a poor attempt to downplay the problem that is homophobia/sexism/racism and ignore the issue. The comment the we "might just as well laugh about it" is really the icing on the cake. It's easy for people not affected by the issue to claim it's just something to laugh about, but to those living in a society that can be hostile towards them it's no laughing matter. Instead of making a thread about this issue and claiming that "one of the biggest problems in the world today is too many people with a total lack of a sense of humor", why didn't you just laugh about the fact that some people can be so humourless and then think nothing more about the issue? Of course I won't hold it against you and claim it's wrong you feel the way you do. Humans are cautious of that which is different to them, but fear and hatred is something that comes later, based on our own interactions with particular groups, or the influence of our guardians, peers and society in general. I just thought this post needed repeating. What's odd is, if this add was in Australia the Australian Families Association would want it pulled off air because it promotes something that doesn't fit into how our society should be.... Only that which doesn't fit would be the two blokes 'kissing'. The way groups like GLAAD (being an Australian I have no knowledge of GLAAD ) react hurt their own cause by alienating other groups that have the same goals, also they cause people to equate human rights groups with nutjobs and or fanatics.

A fetish is something that is needed for arousal. Not something that is 'a turn on' or 'causes arousal'. Leather for example smells reeeeeeeeally nice, just because it makes someone 'tingle' doesn't mean they have a fetish for it.

^Not you, twas the one above. I forgot the '^'

There was a bunch of sound files somewhere of the HK[number unknown]'s torture techniques, also word that Bao-dur was supposed to disappear after the Atris bit, which led to speculation that he would assist HK47.

It isn't that difficult to understand.... They want to know if the form Niman is good and if it's better than Juyo. They ask because they have not played as a Watchman or an Assassin, therefor they would not know. However, the point of having two topics on 'force forms' is something that I am yet to figure out.

What is meant by alignment sensitive is you have to be either Light or Darksided to a large degree, not grey. If you aren't the Darkside attacks you, thus stopping you from entering the tomb. Kriea tells you to return when you are stronger.

^Well it is the correct way to spell 'colour'. Silver could be for a Grey Jedi.... And welcome to the forum fellow evil language fascist.

^Apt! G0T0 does have some funnies. I am warming up to the Fat One, but the "what an amusing Jedi specimen" still makes me want to crush him into slag.

You insult the Dachshund and you die! Dachshunds make a lot of noise for such a little doggy. So cute. :mad: :smile:

And Idiots make the most noise. I now have a craving for a Snicker, but I am now boycotting them for promoting violence against chest hair.

What is Pottent? <--- clicky --->

Increased chance of retaliation definitely, but they don't really need an excuse, what with God and the Constitution at risk.

Rofl, pointing out double standards to make a point about fundi stupidity, I like.

I disagree, some of the greatest works of art known to man are incomplete. Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, Bach's The Art of Fugue. You judge a work on what is not there, and what was beyond the control of the maker. What are the "what many consider as, KOTOR2's terrible quality" that you speak of? I am yet to see any evidence beyond fanboys whinging about the cut content. (Which is not the fault of Obsidian) Kotor 2 is more visually polished than the first. I recently bought a new computer, it has a silver edged LCD screen, the menu screens look so beautiful set against my monitors border that I was letting off fanboyish *squees* all over again, and that was just the menu. So pretty I have it for Xbox as well. I am getting NWN2 soon. I love Obsidian and all who dwell there. Can I get my life sized poster of Kriea nekid now?

^ I agree, I am trying to remember if there was the wavy edge to the screen for Vash's corpse. I think there is. Anyway Visquis in the arena when you get close to the door isn't really a premonition either, because you can see him through the windows above, and we know about the traps. So it's just a reminder to save your game.

Vash's corpse? I think it's obvious that something bad would happen after finding a Master in a pool of their own blood. For the Shyrak Cave, that depends if Kriea was picking up the disturbance before the Exile or felt it through the Exile then added the warning in-head to do that after the Academy.

I'm kind of the same way. I've always enjoyed research weapons technologies and seeing some of the innovative ideas that come out. For historical research, and interest in technological advances. Not like the sad gits who join local militias or ones that patrol national borders, or await The Collapse/Armageddon hiding in their bunker. :crazy:

You used it when you got it. Also it's used when on Korriban, eh maybe you just didn't see the swirling force around the edge of the screen.

Fetish Goths aren't exactly snuggable. They wear leather, PVC (which is a type of plastic), rubber, chains, bolts, buckles, and spikes. While seemingly prepared for a post-apocalyptic "Road Warrior" existence, their costumes are quite revealing, suggesting an interest in strange sex. What is the connection between the gothic aesthetic and corporal punishment? Perhaps where mopey/romantic types dramatise emotional pain, the fetish crowd just takes it one step further into the physical. Chaotic Evil. Well derrrrr.

Ditto. I once had a bone stuck through that dangly thing in your throat, and into the side for two hours. That was fun. Interestingly if I eat anything with even a trace of fish in it, the scar tingles. ICKY! Not into Uvula Piercings myself.

You're a Vampire!! Seductive, beautiful, mysterious, and quite evil. You're very dark and dangerous.. You kill to feed, and prey upon the most unsuspecting and beautiful people you can find... I'm beautiful, and mysterious!

I like fish except for the bones. <---That is supposed to mean stuck in throat.
