Art is an ideal we strive towards and how we strive toward it. Art is the point. A life without art is a life without contrast, juxtaposition, beauty or passion.

It didn't work...

Everyone knows to use transparent for that. Right?

How will you choose?!

Last night I drove around with my cousins and stumbled upon the best Wal-Mart I've ever seen. They had everything. Spent about ten dollars and got a bunch of junk food. Time to eat my summer sausage and crackers~

I'd never thought about this before. Could be calculated, though!

It is impossible to remove all doubt from criminal prosecution except in cases where hard evidence like video evidence is available. There is almost always a chance that the death penalty will be used on an innocent. That chance, while it may be small, is meaningful. Incredibly meaningful because almost every person will cry out and say that killing an innocent man is wrong. In a movie, you know they are innocent because the movie tells you. In real life, you don't know. You make a judgment call. Lots of people judge quickly because of their desire for revenge and sometimes an innocent man dies. Sometimes the person who finds themselves on the block is someone intentionally set up to help the real criminal get away. A swift death penalty quickly settles the matter of who dunnit. You could be the person in the movie who is so hard out for some kind of payback that you kill the innocent man. It has happened several times that we know of. Many more that we do not. Secondly, it does not do what it is supposed to do. Other criminals do not take the death penalty into account when committing a crime. There is no evidence that the death penalty deters crime in general, or even murder. Murder rates manage to decrease after death penalty is removed and there is little difference in crime between similar cities despite only one having the death penalty. The only use it has is to take a recurring and incurable threat off the streets. Thirdly, consider the opportunity cost. No one "deserves" any kind of penalty for any crime. No one deserves to have good things to happen them, or to have bad things happen to them. What people deserve comes from your feelings. An eye for an eye makes you feel like the world is a better place without actually adding anything to anyone's life but that feeling that "Things were balanced out". Your feelings don't change reality. No one has a better standard of living because you killed them. No one has more more people taking care of them. No one has their loved ones back. No one is saved. Killing someone only affects the world inside of your head, not the one outside it, unless that person is a real and present danger to the world. Sometimes—perhaps even most of the time—we have an opportunity to turn a bad influence into a good one with therapy and rehabilitation. That person might go on to become someone who cares for the elderly, runs an orphanage, or becomes a nurse. Why would you choose revenge based justice in a "penalty" system over something that actually makes the world a better place in a provable way? Selfish short-sighted revenge fantasy? Who are you really helping? Who aren't you helping?

They're not wrong.

The correct response.

Result matters more when they contradict, but motive matters more when they do not.

I suppose not. I didn't know what it was before looking it up just now.

There are no mecha in LotGH.

That happens when you only need to do it once a week.

Fries are a must have.

Just call me -sama.

Keep in mind normal people can't be sure what is and what isn't related to the the rebuild. If a bug hasn't been reported yet the average user will report it without knowing if it is related to the rebuilds.

KNOW YE THIS O MAN OF FAITH! I - There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm. II - A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System. III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns). IV - A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub. V - A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads. IT IS SO WRITTEN! SO BE IT. HAIL DISCORDIA! PROSECUTORS WILL BE TRANSGRESSICUTED.

I'd have to sacrifice myself.

The religion bit was a joke.

Not without breaking other things. It would have to overwrite everything inside the post, including quote text, etc.

I was going to mention you but you have red! text in your signature (and it's too big).
