Exactly - and I feel, despite our never ending tit for tat wars Orph,

i believe that you and i would argue less in real life than in here or MSN gwil.. somehow the syntax is lost via text, and i am not educated enough to circumvent that handicap i am afraid.

we argue out of habit now though i feel. we are comfortable enough with each other that even though the heat is very high sometimes, it doesn't burn our relationship at all.. i can come in the next day after you and i had a whopper and feel nothing from it in the form of retaliation or rekindling it anew.

anyways, we are drifting. thats about as mushy as i care for one reply

well *blushes*

i have learned one thing since i got older, its not homo to say the word relationship in a sentence even if its two males as the subject matter.

i am, shall we say focused/narrow minded about the gay thing, but this is a different animal entirely.

/me stops before gwil is shamed more.

go toss a few, it'll make you feel better.

? quoting Orpheus

my children are not permitted to play any games i do not approve of, so far we have not found one.

the point is though, my children understand real vs. gaming. i dunno if there truly is any other point to be made, but i feel this one should be most important if there is another reason.

my wife and i decided before we began a family that if the child were old enough to ask, they deserved an honest answer, one dependent on the age of the child of course. we are not going to describe how many strokes it takes to achieve orgasm for instance, but we will describe wombs and its roll in child birth.

anywho's, i have noticed a distinct lack in parenting in regards to what children learn from the parent. the very person who should govern the childs knowledge is slipping on the job. the child has no recourse but to seek alternate input, usually from peers.

anywho's i feel a child can play any game out there with the proper preparations mentally in place... if a child knows a head shot kills in real life and be made to understand exactly how damned long dead lasts, thats all they need to know to be able to function as a person.

/ 2 cents

Very well put Orph

Toss a few? What on earth do you mean!

Sorry, I dunno what it is with innuendo. After a couple of beers my raging feminist/showboating (hoho) tendencies along with sociopolitical issues et al come out my closet.

In a non homosexual way, it's a closet - just full of skeletons and aggression

/me always wondered,

i have had some fantastic times in a closet why should the skeletons have all the fun i always said

i have been lucky i suppose, i cannot honestly recall anything i am ashamed of. i regret some things, but not so much to bury them or any metaphoric sense.

shock of shocks, i have even been 100% faithful to the spouse for over 23 years now. thats something to brag about in these free thinking times we live in

*thinks of closets*

damn you gwil, now you got me thinking about it

I think that with society violence is just an everyday thing (especially in "blow 'em up" America). I find it very irresponsable that parents let their kids play voilent games. I was extrelely pissed off seeing a 12-14 year old waiting in line with his dad at 12:00 midnight for Halo 2. For one why is the kid out so late, and why is he playing a game like that?

You don't think a high school freshman can handle playing Halo 2 and being out at midnight?

No I never said that. When I was in high school I was playing 007 goldeneye and staying up late till 11-12 pm. The point I was trying to make was that it is very irresponsable of the parent letting their kid stay out late for a game that hes not suited for. If you fall in that range im sorry, I know that there are kids out there who can handle this kind of stuff. But I rest my case that it was very stupid on the parents part to let them stay out late to get a game that they cant legaly buy. I cant be the only one that thinks this because the entire crowd "booed" the kid down the corridor.
