The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
However dickish they're being, I think they're right. Assisted suicide really shouldn't be legalised, it'd lead to some rather unfortunate consequences. But I mean wow, what a bunch of cunts.
So, what? You just think they're being dickish in the way that they're saying that? You don't think that telling someone they should have to suffer a slow and painful death is bad enough on its own?
I'm saying his condition is awful, but the stance that the Catholic church is taking is the right one, albeit for the wrong reason?
I assume you are a proponent of the "slippery slope" argument, in which the use of euthenasia for those dying would be threatening because the fear would be that suicide would become more acceptable.

Slightly more to it then that, but pretty much yeah. It's a really nasty issue though, I mean knowing people with chronic fatal conditions (MS) and seeing how hard it really is, I think they do deserve the chance to die, but weighing up against that is the way we treat the elderly and the pressure that will be put upon them. It's almost darkly ironic, those for whom suicide is an actual option, are those generaly least able to commit it themselves.

See, I'm generally in favour of allowing medically assisted suicide, then someone posted that joke about Dignitas euthanising people because no-one wanted to adopt them, so I was going to make a joke where I mimicked on of those animal charity ads: "This is Gladys, she has cancer and now her family can't afford to take care of her anymore. If nobody adopts her... etc."
Then I remembered that in countries like the US a terminally ill family member frequently is a huge financial burden (not to say that they won't necessarily be in the UK, but the NHS is capable of providing a fair amount of support) and found myself revising my stance.

I am probably a nicer person than Preacher, who last time I checked derived nourishment from the flesh of children.
But there are nicer people in chat than me. A lot nicer, like Irene or Medo. People that apologize when they offend you. Where as I'm like Melvin Udall, just dropping hurt and not caring.
Res as a human being on this earth keep it up, I don't want to hear you have spawned another.
Preacher on
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I love the movie Big because you know Tom Hanks is just having a blast with it.
Remember when he used to be fun?
That Thing You Do is totally underappreciated, I have to say. And the main song is genuinely catchy.
I don't understand how someone who looks so fucking goofy can get roles in movies like Road to Perdition and Saving Private Ryan.
Man he can be hard. Comedy is one of the harder forms of drama to pull off, besides some of those who laugh the loudest due so to cover their own pain. I think Hanks is an extremely talented actor who can be funny, but also make you cry over a simple phrase like "Earn this."

I know Oboro dumps on us and vents on us a lot but for fucks sake we are basically one of the few stable, supportive things she has in her life.
I'm just going to duck out of [chat] before my opinion on some of you lowers further.

Exam one went well.
Only hitch: One of my exam parts was supposed to be in Pen and I wrote it in pencil. After I finished everything, I went back and tried to re-write a section that took me 80 minutes to complete.

Maybe it's 'cause I've only been here for a little over a year of Oborosity, but I still feel kind of at all the :x that gets sent her way.
I couldn't care less if her life is shit completely of her own doing and she hasn't done a thing yet to change it.
Neither of those are true, but even if that were the case, sometimes some you guys remind me of the mob that wants to kill Frankenstein's monster.
And by "some of you guys" I mean, like... Preacher and VC.
Disclaimer: I really like Preacher and VC, I'm just making an observation here.
1. Compassion Fatigue
2. The methhead on my WoW friends list doesn't inflict his stories about bodily fluids, drug trips, etc. etc. on me. There is a large difference between discussing a problem in an attempt to get help with it, and deliberately yammering on about crazy/weird/illegal/depressing/infuriating/disgusting shit as she often does. It's especially not a cry for help when her immediate response to someone wanting her to stop is "I'm not going to change so get used to it."
Yeah who doesn't like a poster who dumps problems, and when people offers solution they snap at those people for daring to suggest solutions. Who wouldn't want someone who can't admit the majority of their problems start and end with them. I tell you I love people like that, love them to death.
See shadow I'm worse than a lot of others, Medo and Irene have apologized when they thought they offended me, I've never done that. In fact I'll admit I've personally insulted people in chat to beat them down a bit.

Irene is an odd exception to the rule. She's too nice for DnD.

You're blind. Besides Frosteey made it. I have no artistic ability.
@Preach I was being serious you're the nicest guy in chat.
@Medo took 13 pages before anyone complained about the OP congrats.
We can... let off a little steam
It's all my fault.
I give it like ten days maximum, frankly.
As opposed to one of those "It's impossible for anyone's goals and desires to differ from my own" people?

If Obo doesn't return then that chat should be christened as a champion.

I am saying that I really am not interested in romance at all. This isn't hard.
Seriously, if she doesn't we might all have to give Tube a pat on the back. It'll hurt, but I'll do it.

You act like I'm calling you a nice guy in a sea of Saints or something.

I'd give Tube a hug. But then again I'm crazy and assume the shock would give me enough time to run away.

Seriously, I enjoyed that movie. The song is so kitschy it's endearing.

It actually hurts me that you think I'm a bigger asshole than Preacher.
Though is suppose I could look at it as the successful culmination of months of (unintentional) labor toward that goal.

When I play drums on Rock Band, I always play the drum part from That Thing you Do during the little intro section to fuck with my bandmates.

I love your attitude anyways.
