Um, well, I didn't ask for a self-justification... nor for a semi-philosophical discourse. I don't belong to the theoretikoi in the field; or in other words: we're neither alone, nor unique, more likely replaceable in a relationship with defined behavior patterns that are known since long. And whatever relationship is - it is no combat sport... Howbeit, thank you :)

I wouldn't reduce the other sex to a single role just to please me now and then. That's in its last consequence nothing but the inversion of the beloved old role allocation of possession, now the emancipated woman in the former dominant role of the man calling for body service. "As you command!" A kinky one-night stand is actually a relationship only in the world of the day-flies, btw., nice but irrelevant here. The first step in the right direction in the real world is the to be trained ability to see the opposite in the first place as unisex and equal to come to friendship on the horizon of conversations, i.e. not to think exclusively with the private parts. "Hello boys!" Once you have found a friend your perhaps outlandish hobbies are no problem at all, for otherwise the friend is none! If you have to face problems in a relationship these problems get manifest and finally destructive when you both do not talk about your needs and the needs of the other. And friendship dies first in the war of the roses.

:ohmy: That's not stupid, just . . . ... philosophical. Guess I've already point to the soul as a parameter of (higher) life, it's vital breath, located in the blood circulation for the ancient. Once the blood stops circulating and the last breath is made, the living turns into the dead. Now, the idea of ghosts directly starts in the very moment of death, when life ends in smoke ... and that's why ghosts are understood as "incorporeal-smoky", half-visible and bloodless afterlife manifestation of the Hebrew ruach, the breath of the once souled living. Actually the ghost idea is nothing but another religious denial of death and final fading away of all living - a popular backdoor of folk religions.

Not per se. I know of one exclusively based upon sex - a long-term affair, collapsed and/or dried out in its 12th year. She's back to her husband and he to his wife, both to their grown-up children and both are looking back at a big hole in time now, I guess ... ^^

I don't see that the platform (or the cultural axiom, if you prefer that) is already realized here in the debate - the type of civilization. As long as this is not the case everythin' sounds outlandish, Ptolemaic centered on the West where most of us are living. Unfortunately, in toto we're everythin' but most... we're the few...*lol* The age of high adventure of Western colonialism (thus of the export of systems as well) is over, the time of the East has come together with a diligent patriarchal ant statehood without anarchy (sounds Bakunin, eh?)... Would be not that bad to have already read Samuel P. Huntingtons' Clash of Civilizations.

Outside the Nexus there is no public discussion in the West on a definition that is at hand for all that have left primary school, if not already much, much earlier. If one really doesn't know what nudity is how is it that one loves to upload precisely this, eh? :teehee: Wonder why people try to question decisions when e.g. in Germany one has to blanken all sexual characteristics of TES figures already since a year! And over there there was no discussion, if memory serves, not even to some extent... no debate that aimed to water down administrative decisions on the matter... and no such language problems in the likewise multi-cultural game societies... ^^

Rules are not set to be broken by provocateurs. Actually this is somethin' we all learn already in kindergarten....

Which they have to do anyway - after they got banned :D just kidding.^^ (The TOS is neither an Emperor, nor a Chinese.) ... and the show goes on afterwards as if nothing had ever happened? Naaa - this'd be no disciplinary measure at all, and thus no learning process. Well, imagery is not everyone's cup of tea, np ^^

Those hooked on public approval after having tasted its sweetness already - they will do the kowtow.

@ Vagrant0 :thumbsup: no further comment needed.

To compare Michelangelo with the local Muppet Show is rather too-too ... :wacko: No, the fine art is not what we're talking about here, unfortunately :thumbsup:

In a virtual world that is very fond of 'thumb sucking' the loss of a measurable, hurting amount of thumbs or AP in the case of breaking the rules would probably be answered by a deep kowtow for the rest of the user existence, I guess

I'm guessing you're talking about the fact that I mentioned A TYPE2's rank. I just felt like throwing that in since it's a new thing; I wasn't trying to justify anything by it. Thanks for the reply though; I always enjoy your input. My pleasure. It's not the first time that someone that has reached a minor peak starts with a mental hovering... always followed by a crash landing.

Having no taste isn't really one taste among others, one might state. In so far the car example fails to meet the criteria...

Activity is no measurement for intelligence. Already realized? So, what is understandable in the case of a rookie that has signed in last month is somewhat problematic in the case of a " he does us all good" ... when he doesn't, conciously, or has he won his credits of old in a lottery where there is just one rule?

Hell yeah! That's ol' school witchcraft :woot: Radio Cockroach-Free Wasteland on 88.3 MHz - where the drum beats roll... http://www.abload.de/img/anne9hol.gifinside

The first will be the last! So you all are dismissed, I guess ^^

Cooling okay? Rams okay?

Morrowind faces are still worth trying out :wub: http://www.abload.de/img/messiah03uy2l.jpg http://www.abload.de/img/anne9hol.gif

The registry might look like a scrapyard and what about defragmentation of the partitions involved? _Hannah

So this, then, is the kernel of the brute! Once the guys are experienced enough to make a paradigm shift in their animalic interests from boobs with a kind of Duckburger cube on top towards more beautiful faces with boobs everything would be fine and the question dressed or undressed wouldn't be at issue here, isnt it? I wish... :thumbsup: till then: away with it! :woot: http://www.abload.de/img/anne9hol.gif

Yes, that was generally my sentiments on the matter, if however not voiced quite as strongly. Whatever these sentiments may be - we're in the minority as is to be seen above... http://www.abload.de/img/anne9hol.gif

Since the Dutch War of Independence from Spain (1568–1648) none of us is afraid of the Spanish ^^ *Hup Holland Hup* http://www.abload.de/img/anne9hol.gif Let's have a party!

...or vice versa! :woot: http://www.abload.de/img/anne9hol.gif

Ask the known members with a failed counting for a re-rating. This works! If you don't know the user names of those responsible the cards are stacked against you. The problem as such is known since long, and when it happens it always tends to accumulation, i.e. the error repeats itself, the faster the more it happens already at the start of the to be rated object. The chance that someone indeed has caused a failed rating by cut & paste endorsement is almost equal to zero. As a rule it's caused by the counter.
