YIYF's got a point. You do talk a lot.

In other news, I'm posting so slowly lately. Congrats to Gaff for making 2000. I'll still be awhile unless I really beef up production. Although, my heyday of posting was mostly verbal sparring with awk. Maybe I'm just returning to normal.

*whisper* Hint, hint, Jag... It's not His death we celebrate on Easter, dude. You're three days too early!


Wtf are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying, I'm not referring to Easter at all. I'm referring to the religion of Christianity!


Uhh, Easter is Christian. That is the origin of "the religion of Christianity". We don't celebrate the death of Jesus. We celebrate His resurrection. That's the big tenet.

A big part of it, yes, but "desire" is so broad, that it's a big motivation to do anything! That's the whole definition of motive:

1. An emotion, desire, physiological need, or similar impulse that acts as an incitement to action.

You say that violence and murder are caused for a desire for "stuff". I'm saying that violence is a means to an end. Action requires motive. Violence is one way to act on that motive. I think that violence is the primary action. We've learned to be civil over the millenia, but it's human nature to use force and violence to see to an end.

Dude. Five years is nothing. Now that I'm working on my Masters, I'm going to be in for at least another two. You may be 17 and in college, but that offers you no bragging rights (because my brother is too, so there ). Besides, maybe Jenny didn't start college right away after high school.

Sorry everyone. This was totally a useless post. But now you know I'm going for my Masters

Humans are naturally kind and accepting towards each other? I disagree. While you might tell me that it's about material possessions, there are many more reasons than that that people have resorted to violence. Territory, material goods, respect. Throughout history, man has fought to gain the upper hand. You may say that you "don't respect violence", and that's all well and good, but fear can be an ally.

If it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he cheated by using performance-enhancing drugs, then yes, go ahead, remove his name from the record books, asterisk him, whatever. If, on the other hand, it becomes a "we'll never know for sure" situation, or if he was not in violation of the rules at that time, then let the record stand. Athletes push themselves, and I think that's part of sport. Before his name comes off the list, I want proof he cheated.
