Yet, I have given examples in a previous post where both were consentual. What do you have to say to that?

I agree that there will always be exceptions. For every hundreds of thousands of people that are able to live and function "properly" in our society, there will always be one who cannot such as serial killers and the like. People who can't fit into the mold, and are often frustrated that they cannot quell their desires, as any "of the norm" person would be if they weren't allowed to do the things that have a passion for.

Just as for every thousands of nonconsentual acts, there will always be the few that are. But that number is debatable, too. We dont' really know the proportion of nonconsentual to consentual acts.

Laws against pedophilia and murdering are there to protect the majority. So that most kids can grow up without the fear of being taken advantage of and other stuff like that. So that most people can sleep at night without worrying about being killed. But a question I came up with is, is the majority really protected? What really is the proportion of nonconsentual to consentual? We wouldn't really know unless we took off the law and recorded it all (but how could we record it?).

Outlawing murder protects majority of the citizens. If we deny homosexuals, who is it suppoosed to protect?

Yups. There was a horror film by Akira Kurosawa about a wife taking revenge on her Samurai husband (don't remember the title). No gore, but scary as hell, in which most of it had to do with sound.

A lot of the great horror involves the feeling of being alone, which is difficult to pull off.
With video games, I feel like it'd be easier. Nobody plays Silent Hill the game with 200 people in the room.

True. Though once, I played it once with three people in the room. Them screaming their head off (not faking it, either) didn't exactly calm me down, ha ha.

Probably someone who can't taste either. It's a loss of two senses, i think.

There were a lot of things wrong with the movie.
\But I didn't have high expectations in the first place. Ever since I saw the trailer, I thought it would be a bust. I was quite surprised when i actually enjoyed it.

Yeah, it wasn't scary, but I wasn't expecting it to be scary. After playing the games, i figured I was very immune to anything the movie could dish out. And I was right.

Personally, I liked it because of the themes that the movie brought up. I remember at the end of playing SH1, I was like "wtf just happened?" But after playing it through more times (and the other two after), I started to understand more of the story and the "what-ifs" about the Silent Hill world. I dunno, I thought it was interesting to match up themes from the SH games to the movie and to try to guess what happened to the characters and such. It was almost like playing the game all over again (which for most people, was a bad thing)

I thought the unicorn bled mercury.

Is not being able to watch gore and torture movies like Saw considered being too scary for me?

I can watch the Ring, and the Haunted and play Silent Hill, but movies like Saw always kinda grossed me out too much. Would gore be considered horror?

By doing that, we've destroyed our number 1 sleep source in the United States, making this nation an insomniac nation.

That and people skipping math class.

I don't know what it's called.

It sounds like a dreading, courtroom sound.

"MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann, who said: 'If the folks at Focus on the Family are right, it could make you, your children or maybe your furniture gay. Or tolerant.'"

I see the strange connection in that we're encouraged to write hate mail to them.

For me, the less sleep I get, the more awake I am.

Whenever I get more sleep, the more tired I feel during the day.

Weird.

Yeah, actually, I heard someone say that pogs were cooler than magic...

Looked like it, plus it didn't have ending credits and stuff.

So what, next is the movie?

PBJ time is like college classes... you pick the times, and you attend PBJ time whenever it's convenient... such as when you click on the link.

Well... I dunno about being "hated", but you could have at least responded with a "<3"... like "No, it didn't... <3"... or laughed.

Oh yes... I remember being dragged to this movie... by 17-year-olds...

A- You don't have to be a fucking rocket scientist to understand the title "The Gayest Showdown". Calling a submission gay when it has "gayest" is simply restating the obvious.

I absolutely adore this part for some reason.

You're right. In the end, I don't know what kind of problems he has. So, I'll just keep waving.

How much should we strive to change this fucked up way we live? Sometimes you have to know when the momentum is too great to handle and just let the cosmos take over.

I see what you mean. It's something that probably will never fully be resolved. Even if most of it is taken out, it'll always exist in some form.

I guess, though that to make a huge cosmic movement, there has to be small things that push it. Even now, I still believe that post Civil Rights movement is better than pre. Despite all the fusses it caused about over anti racism and stuff, I still think that it's some sort of "human progress" (though the definition of "progress" is subjective). I guess the goal isn't for 100% candyland but more like 60% or something. For me, this kind of opinion spreading can help chip off some ignorance, or act as a building block.

From what I see with the black community is that an invision of being tough sorta outweighs a feeling of actually being social. It seems to always be a mentality of competition, not a method of just being socially resepectable.

I think I can relate this to people I meet. I'm not sure though.

I live in a dorm and there are many black people on my floor. At the beginning of the year, we had a floor social and I met some of them. One of them even told me he was half Japanese (I'm full Japanese). So we chatted a bit about how his parents got together and stuff like that.

So weeks later, we pass by in the hallway. I wave to him and he waves back. More weeks pass and he looks more and more reluctant to wave and he began to wear the stereotype rapper clothes. Soon afterward, he doesn't respond to me at all. He kinda looks at me like I'm not supposed to wave at him at all.

Even now the black people that I chatted with at the social rarely respond. They did at first, but not so much anymore. Only one of them does regularly.

I'm guessing that the guy just wants to find his "place" in the black community but I could be wrong. Maybe I'm looking into it too much and he just doesn't like me or doesn't feel like responding to someone he only sees once in a while. Or maybe he just forgot who I was. But I can't shake the nagging feeling that in some way, I don't "belong" to the group of people that deserve respect. What do you think?
