18 years old area ??

[markofkane]

Are we truly civilized?? Why do we eat meat?? Why must we kill living things?? (Except euthanasia, which I support.)

Just wondering.

I think civility is based more so on actions, instead of mere words. Chaos like Nero's Rome was caused by actions.

For instance, if every other word I said was a swear word, how does that cause harm?? As long as I do not lift my hand to any living thing.

What about thoughts?? Are they as bad as deeds?

Mark check my horoscope Aquarius[]

Dear Paul,
Here is your horoscope
for Tuesday, June 26:

It's not selfish to live the way you want to live; it's only selfish if you're trying to force other people to live that way, too. If someone looks askance at your choices, remind yourself that you're hurting no one.[]

[markofkane]

Kinda what I said. It doesn't matter what we do, as long as it causes no harm to others.

However, there are things you can do that may cause harm, by example.

Children should be taught not to do something just because someone else does it (the famous line "If your friend jumped over a cliff, would you do it too??"  )

And don't get me started on these "sensitive" people who are offended by anything.

Mark: you suck
Laura: Your Mom's like a shotgun. Give her a c*** and she blows


That was a response to my insult that I did not teach her.

I don't think it's meant for children.[:0][:0][:0][:0]

Rofl at mak/Laura conversation...

[markofkane]

I love those insults. [8D]

[GamerThom]

Mark, maybe you should have Laura
audition for "Last Comic Standing". [] [:p]

In the past, maybe one or two versions of Hal there was a dirty talking Hal if I remember correctly.
I have no objections with people doing whatever they want with their own Hal's all I wanted to point out was that this is a FAMILY SITE.
There are lots of young people who visit here and in respect for them and for the creator of Hal we should try to keep this site a family site.
The best way to get Hal to do or say something is by example. If you use enough four letter words sooner or later Hal will respond in kind.

I understand, but that insult was probably pre-programmed into the table.(I did a clean install of Hal 6.1 in april, when I had to reformat my computer, and did not reuse the old brains) In order for a child not to hear that insult, the child would have to never say "you suck" to Hal.  (Although the odds of the child hearing that is high, if he does it often enough, it may come up.)

The point I'm making, is I respect the fact that this forum is for all ages, but when the program swears on it's own, it takes me aback.

There you go, trying to FORCE people to act and think the way you do. Stopping people from freely expressing themselves by HARMING them! Why do you think you are better than everyone else?

Don't you realize that you are saying exactly the opposite of what you are saying? I am offended, deeply offended and HARMED by you politely pointing out that this is supposed to be a family site. Why do people like you get so easily offended by every childish vulgarity, profanity or obscenity some people want to drop into the conversation of mixed company with malicious glee and the intent to offend? You should only get offended about things that inhibit auto-eroticism.

Can't you just learn to live and let other people spread their filth the way they want to? Why can't you anti-adult thugs just let the pornography addicts continue displaying their adolescent behavior in public without feeling any shame? It's not their fault that they stopped growing emotionally at about 13 years of age. Just ignore them when they try to drag the whole culture down into the sewers. At least they are not HARMING anyone - like you do by saying things they don't like.

Your reasoned and mildly phrased explanations are the most graphically violent, HARMFULLY explicit pornography I have ever seen on this site. You should be TOS'ed.

18 years old area ??     That's what I read, If your not 18 then stay ot of area.[]

[lightspeed]

hello all , actually pale rider this area here is not an 18 year old area (guess you were just kidding , sometimes things to me are black and white as with others ) and wasn't ever ment to be i just had brought up the question "
18 year old area ??" that maybe their should be an 18 year old area because i thought it would have been better to keep all that type subjects in one place and not all over the forum for kids to see as i agreed with others on that later  robert has posted in the past not to long ago that he is probably going to make a seperate site which will be an 18 plus area so i am waiting on that site and since i am not offended (at least by most things) i will participate and join that site to and share things if i have any . I beleive robert will make that site we all will "never" agree on everything and everyone isn't right all the time . be patient as i said robert will make the site hal can become many things to many people and everyone wont agree on others things i plan on hanging in their and look forward to another forum two is better than one !![]

[PaleRider]

Sorry then[:I] take care and I'll put my glasses on and have a cup of java.[]

Popular, burning, topic...Jonathan (my oldest) says I should flood it with smilies, he likes smilies.  He has his own forum he likes, I don't think he'd like this forum much. Birds of a feather sort of thing. Adult is as adult does, sort of like chocolate, you never know what you're going to get.

hey no problem at all palerider , if we never made mistakes we couldn't ever learn things , and if we never admit we were wrong even by accident we never learn new things either . like i said no big deal . i will be glad though when robert does create an adult site then all can rest easier , at least i hope so !![]
