    Where have you been in the World?

    in General Chat

    Posted

    Hi guys :)

     

    Just curious to see where you have travelled to in the World, or where you would love to go!

     

    I'll start!

     

    I've been in:

    Danmark

    Germany

    Sweden

    Norway

    England

    Belgium (Brussels)

    Egypt

    USA (California)

    France

     

    I would like to go to:

    Estonia (btw, if anyone knows anything about Tallinn, please say so, am going next year :) )

    Spain

    Greece

    USA (again)

    Thailand

    Australia

    Let's talk about GAY MARRIAGE!

    in The Debate Chat

    Posted

    Denmark in Europe was the first country in the world to allow gays to be registered partners, and I am proud of that.

     

    It is now also legal to get married in a church and obtain exactly the same rights as a couple of opposite sex.

     

    I am a Christian, and I know that the bible says, that one man lying with another man is an abomination, and that they should both be killed, but honestly, the bible was not written by God, it was written by people who all claim to have had contact with God, and how many crazy people today is saying that?

     

    The God I know loves all men (and women ;) ) equally, regardless of what your sexual preference is.

    Can't see who won the battle this time?

    Sell Sell avatar help please (stockmarket avatar)

    Just making sure it's under the "Paid" column of the "Totals" row that's valued at over 1mil NP.

     

    Also, if one oft those stocks in VPTS, that might be what's causing the problem. Since it's over 1000 per share, buying 1k shares a day would automatically give you the avatar. Check to see if under VPTS "Paid" value, it will only show you 1,000; instead of 1,000,000 if you bought 1k of it, for example. This will make your Totals not match up to what you actually paid for. So say you have 1k of one company at 15k "Paid", your VPTS that is also at 1k shares will only show up as 1k "Paid".

     

    Also, check your Chat Preferences to see if the avatar is there, maybe you just missed the RE :)

    Thank you for replying, but I did not understand any of that, sorry :(

     

    A tip is:Buy KSON at 11:59 NST PM and again at 12:00 AM NST. Then sell both so you dont lose any money.

    Hi, thank you for your answer. I read somewhere that it won't work if you only invest in KSON ?

    Trayvon Martin Case - The sentence/media reaction

    in The Debate Chat

    Posted

    I see Barack Obama spoke out against the "not guilty" charges, and I find it to be possible for even him to speak up enough to allow a new trial to be opened.

     

    Yes, he died about a year and a half before I was born. My father constantly tells me, "At least I breathed when he did!" I am a weirdo; I hate modern music, and I love rock/grunge/metal, specifically the 90s. He is my favorite singer. I won't completely ramble as to why he is an inspiration to me (and yes, I see why he shouldn't in many cases) but one thing about him is something I love.

     

     

    As an American citizen, I do disagree with quite a lot of laws and decisions. However, as Coltom said, it is far beyond reality to think this will change anytime soon. As of the death penalty, the state to be most strict (and one of the only participants left) is Texas. That state, in my opinion, is corrupt in many ways beyond the rest of the country. I'm not sure exactly why America finds it necessary to be so strict. I recently stopped believing in the death penalty, because up until then I thought people who murder many others has no use being alive. Despite that, I find it hypocritical to kill the killer, you know? "We should kill you because killing is wrong" is the most absurd thing ever.

     

    I am hoping that America over the years will become more like Europe regarding laws and penalty, and hopefully with young Americans such as yourself, it can happen, but yes, it will take many years. I believe America is held very much back by all the lobbying going on especially regarding to weapons. We don't have lobbying in my country, it is frown upon.

     

    The death penalty is just so cavemen like. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind in the end. And even though most people can feel like the only justice in some cases is the DP, then just remember how many innocent people have suffered the DP! It is so horrible and arrogant to have the DP when you don't have a bulletproof judicial system, which honestly, no country has.

    This case has just proven what I already thought about most of the American laws and the American judicial system - it is inhumane, non-functional, unintelligent and stone age alike with "eye for an eye"-views and a completely wrong attitude towards self-defence and weapons.

     

    It worries me that a country as strong as America and with the power that the USA has is put together this way law wise and judicially.

     

    I am so glad to live in a country in Europe where we do not have weird laws like this "Stand your ground law" and the "Three strikes and you are out law" or the death penalty for that matter.

     

    Actually the European Court of Human Rights (probably not even known in the USA) won't even allow members to extradite prisoners to the USA, if there is even a small possible chance that the person can be sentenced to death, because it is considered inhumane.

     

    I think it's amazing, weird and very scary at the same time, that a country as far developed as USA (developed in other ways), can have such a far out judicial system and so far out mental laws.

     

    I absolutely agree with the person who made this post in her first posted opinion. Very well described.

     

    I myself work in the judicial system, and I am happy ours is nothing like the American.

    Which faction are you siding with for the 8th round?

    I have none, haha. XD

    I'm following the masses for this round, seekers!

     

    :D You'll hopefully catch up ! I hope they keep letting people fight to win avatars.

     

    No idea yet.... but who's the most popular faction on the boards right now ?

     

    It's by far the seekers on the neoboards :)
