I'm a non-denomination Christian, I'm pretty sure I've said that before, but I don't really see why people fight gay marriage so hard.  It's not going to stop gay people from doing gay stuff together, they'll do that whether they're married or not.  I don't see a reason to make churches give gay marriages if they don't want to, but there's no reason to ban it altogether.

I've seen a lot of other decidedly un-Christian things done by churches, like the church that wouldn't give a practicing member of their church a funeral because he was gay.  If that's the case than no one can have a funeral, because everyone sins and God doesn't rank them.  Stuff like that's why I don't follow a specific denomination.  I'm not going to let a human, pastor or not, dictate to me what God wants.

It helps that we have (at least one) openly gay (and married) member of parliament. Of course, I only know this because a fuss has been stirred up about a Christmas card featuring him and his husband, and the surrounding mess that's caused. Or something.

[Kagus]

Wait...

I second that you should move, preferably to Sweden, it needs to be more chaos here. :p

Armok is Swedish?  This explains so, so much...

I'm sorry man.  I didn't know.

But what about all those games where you have to save the princess or your girlfriend or whatever.

Just a common plot point, I guess.  It dates back a hell of a lot further than the first video games to do it.

In Britain, the second most powerful man in the country (Peter Mandelson - I suppose you could say he's the most powerful, actually, since he could remove the Prime Minister at the any time if he wanted to) is gay.  I'd like the say that people are accepting of this, but outrageous homophobic slurs are often made at him from the media.

Back to the guy with the video game character... I dunno.  I don't really feel able to laugh at him.  He's either doing it as a joke or is seriously disturbed.

[WorkerDrone]

Since this is Japan, we can assume it's both.

[Armok]

Armok is the creepy desperateness and the desperate creepiness something you strive for, or does it just naturally happen?

It's something I strive for. I'm actually not even all that desperate, it's just part of my forum persona.

Edit: grammar fail

[Aqizzar]

my forum persona.

Change it then, because it got annoying a long time ago.

Why you feel the need to craft a "persona" is a whole other question I don't want to hear an answer for.

So you're basically acting in a way you aren't and everyone knows it?

[Armok]

No, no no! It's more like... I  can't really explain it. Have you ever watched an animé called Serial Experiments Lain?
I'm not acting, I'm just... It's very complex and I am unable to explain it.

[Leafsnail]

Well, Armok, no I haven't.

But on the other hand, perhaps Sofia doesn't want to be a guinea pig for whatever experiment it is you're trying to run?

Yes, of course.  It's a social experiment.  This thread's starting to have an underlying theme.

[Aqizzar]

No Armok I have never seen whatever you're talking about and I'm tired of you constantly insisting that you're somehow entitled to act like a nard because you're too "complex" for us normal people to understand.

And don't think you can just lock the topic and run away, because you're in my thread now bitch.  Not that I really want to hear any more about it anyway.  So, back on topic.

Ever read "The Ebony Frame"?  Falling in love with fake people isn't new, but you used to be actually locked up.

[Cthulhu]

You should be locked up.  If I ruled the world, there would be a legal precedent (Set by the case of Weirdo vs. New Jersey) that weirdos could be indefinitely imprisoned without a trial.

[Captain Hat]

Soo... does this mean we can marry our dorfs?

[sonerohi]

"In other news, some freako is demanding that he be given visitation rights to his local Best-Buy's computer repair center".

"That's right Tom, he claims to have married a 'Urist' a fictional dwarf character in one of the videogames on his computer. His computer, and his house, caught on fire Saturday night after.. 'his fortressed reached 170 population and lagged hard'. He has been camped out at the Best Buy waiting for his chance to visit his computer, which he claims the 'marriage' gives him the right to do".

"What a waste of a human life. Kid shoulda stayed in his moms basement".

"Indeed Tom".

[JoshuaFH]

If I convert to Mormonism, does that mean I can have more than one videogame wife?

Time to complete the collection!
