whats foreskin?


A layer of skin covering the glans or head of the male's reproductive organ. It's removed when a child is circumsized.


english plz?


Would it be against the rules to answer this? (come on now guys, we can all be adults here sometimes. Talking about genitals won't hurt anyone here.)


Technically, Gaia is supposed to keep things PG-13 (we get warnings if things get too messy), and we do have some pre-teens in this guild, so try to keep things slightly clean for them, if possible? sweatdrop

What if I had to murder someone to save more lives.

Like example I had to choose between killing some random person I didn't know or letting my whole family die.
<> read this book and it made her think

What if someone said kill this old woman and a young teacher in latin america will live if you don't kill her hte young teacher dies.
What about that instance ninja
a jew is not allowed to murder.

no matter what.

what about that whole desert absense of water story thingie i mean fi you look at that technally it's murder if you just let someone die.

i mean that is like being a doctor and jsut standing there while someone died... ooo that would make a good story a pycho doctor ninja

I'm sure that you didn't know that gaia previously had hentai links as part of the site. Someone was lurking around the unused parts of the site, and thats what they found. Gaia removed it after the thread got too popular xd .

Gaia originally aimed at a higher age range xd (not that hentai is okay for them either wink ).

good point.

it is true that if you and another are in a desert, and you have only enough water for yourself in your possesion, then you are not allowed to give the other any water at all, before securring your own survival. if the other has the water, then he must do the same.

this, however, is not murder. because he would have died anyway if you weren't there, you are in no way causing his death. saving his life would mean sacrificing your own, which is much worse than "passive killing".

still- if it was between my life and somebody else's, I'd let them live.

The same thing if it was a choice between eating human flesh/pork and dying- I'd rather die then eat human flesh. The pork-ehh....maybe xp

Thats a lie.
They werent Hentai links, they were links to one of the Gaia Admins art portfolio which contained Hentai talk2hand
Gaia was always aimed for the PG-13 crowd, but it used to be just basically a large link list of Anime/Manga sites. xp

I have a question about fast.

What holidays do you fast during?

And how long do these fast last/What part of the day do you fast during?
i.e. When are you aloud to actually eat?

I'm new at this whole thing...Go easy on me! sweatdrop

Most of them aren't during a holiday really, most of them are seperate days (while some are linked to a holiday).

Yom kippur, on the 10th of Tishrei, Tisha'a ba'av, on the 9th of av are very serious fasts, meaning they are 25-hour fasts, beginning before sunset on the evening before the fast and ending after nightfall on the next day.

On the other hand, there are lighter fasts that begin from sunrise till nightfall (on average, 12 hours), and those are:
  • The Fast of Esther, Adar 13, commemorates the three days that Esther fasted before approaching King Ahasverosh on behalf of the Jewish people. The fast is connected with Purim. If Adar 13 falls on a Friday or Saturday, it is moved to the preceding Thursday, because it cannot be moved forward a day (it would fall on Purim).
  • The Fast of Gedaliah, Tishri 3, commemorates the killing of the Jewish governor of Judah, a critical event in the downfall of the first commonwealth.
  • The Fast of Tevet, Tevet 10, is the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem. It has also been proclaimed a memorial day for the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust.
  • The Fast of the Firstborn, Nissan 14, is a fast observed only by firstborn males, commemorating the fact that they were saved from the plague of the firstborn in Egypt. It is observed on the day preceding Passover.
  • The Fast of Tammuz, Tammuz 17, is the date when the walls of Jerusalem were breached, another major event leading up to the destruction of the First Temple.

if it's not too much trouble, perhaps you could elaborate on tisha b'av and yom kippur?
