WatersMoon110 No - this isn't about any other Guilds (though you can make it about them, if you refrain from mentioning anyone by name). I wanted to know if you thought my current signature was offensive. And I also wanted to get opinions on a proposed signature (that I totally stole from a bumper sticker on Cafe Press): "You can't be both Pro-Life and Anti-Zombie" I don't want to use it if people actually find it offensive. I, of course, mean it in a joking way. But since I'm not Pro-Life, I really can't judge if it is offensive or not. And you know me, I hate to offend anyone I like. *wink* It doesn't offence me.

divineseraph So... let me get this straight... It's not that we want to save their lives, it's just that, as lifers, we want to burden society and women and force them to be poor? *laughs* That's pretty funny. ... Wait, that signature is serious? eek I suppose that it...um...I mean...um...well...um... *tries to say something positive* ... *fails* ... Ok, I think I've got something. I think that all people should be encouraged to adopt if they can. Around here they actually have a bunch of ads about adoption, and even ads that are specifically about adopting teens (I always feel bad, because we unfortunately don't have the money or space to adopt yet. We also might still be too young, not sure). I have never seen those anywhere else. Has anyone else? I also think that everyone's tax money should partially go to helping pay for the medical expenses of pregnant women, or at least those without health insurance. See, by stating the obvious (at least, I think just about everyone feels the same way) I no longer feel quite so angry about that signature. *grin*

Tiger of the Fire All zombies though, with the exception of vodo zombies, carrey the same biological traits. No metabolism, incapable of biologicly reproducing, at the very least the bare minimum of brain activity (or non aty all, their bodies mearly an extention of their master's will), continued cell degeneration (unless a spell is used or they are kept toghether through demonic means), and no heart beat. I suppose at the very least, the minimum brain activity could be used to consider them slightly alive. But is that really enough? Yeah, I guess zombies are no longer human beings. Thus making them outside the range of Pro-Lifers. Wonderful, informative post, by the way. PETA should be trying to protect zombies. *envisions top PETA members being attacked by zombies* *wink*

I think I just had an orgasm there...Ummm...moving on
I did neglect to talk about one zombie though. The HoD (House of the Dead) zombie. But since I've never actualy played more then five minutes of the games, and didn't bother to see the movie (since the previews were horrible) I can assume that these zombies too have no brain activity as a few from screen shots of the game and movie are shown with out thier head. My assumption as well is that these zombies (from what I do know of the game) are created through both a technological and demonic means.

WatersMoon110 Wait, that signature is serious? eek Sadly, yes. I've seen it several places, actually. Quote: Ok, I think I've got something. I think that all people should be encouraged to adopt if they can. I also think that everyone's tax money should partially go to helping pay for the medical expenses of pregnant women, or at least those without health insurance. I wholeheartedly agree. I'll go one step further and say having a healthy pregnancy and raising a child should be free, i.e., subsidized no matter what your income. Parents shouldn't have to have a job--every parent is a working parent.

Now we just need to take over the country, and make this a law. *wink* While we're at it, let's legalize some things that have no business being illegal.

I'd have to agree. Pregnancies shouldnt cost nearly as much as they do.

Yes, they should be paid for by the government. To not do so is just... Bullshit. That's all there is to it.
Instead of our money going to help pregnant women, it goes to gold-plated toilet seats and thousand-dollar hammers.

La Veuve Zin Also:  Here's an idea: anyone who opposes the death penalty should be forced to pay the entire cost of keeping inmates in prison for life! Dumbshit... rolleyes Actually, executing someone costs more than it would to keep them alive and in prison for life. The court costs of all the appeals combined with the actual cost of the execution (you have to pay people a lot to do this) ends up costing far more than it would to just keep the people in prison. I oppose the death penalty, so can I have all the money we will save if we ever get rid of it?

The court costs of all the appeals combined with the actual cost of the execution (you have to pay people a lot to do this) ends up costing far more than it would to just keep the people in prison. True, but...you sort of see my point, yes? If it was much cheaper to execute someone, I'd still be completely opposed to it, but that's not a reason to make it my responsibility to take care of the prisoners who aren't executed (aside from taxes, of course). I never wanted them to be criminals in the first place, so their being a burden on society isn't my fault. Similarly, I didn't rape any women in order to give them unwanted pregnancies, so it isn't my responsibility to care for unwanted children. I may want to prevent their destruction, but I had nothing to do with their creation.
