haven't finished it yet. I want to, but I need to buy KOTOR, first. xD*sigh* annoying that there isn't any for PSP.
Bioware and Sony have never really been on good terms. With EA having bought out Bioware, however, we may be seeing more of their games show up on sony systems. But yes, you should find KotOR and beat it. excellent game.

Hey, I'd feel taht way. But if emotion is suffices to decide whether someon lives or dies, we'd be no different than the parent who killed that baby. No doubt they acted on some disturbed emotion that went way beyond the acceptable. Lady Justice is not depicted as a woman with a blind fold: to be able to judge without emotion or personal attachment. And there in lies the dilemma. Which is hard, but in my view no one's entitled to decide whether someone lives or dies. Not these parent, not us. If they're a dnager to society lock them away.
Prisons don't provide adequate punishment in this case, not to mention that eventually some bleeding-hearted fool may try to get them a chance at parole.
but in my view no one's entitled to decide whether someone lives or dies.
There are times when I will fully support someone killing another, and times I will condemn it beyond all else. Killing is one of those crimes that, in my view, sometimes spans the gap between right and wrong. In the most dire of self-defence or survival circumstances, I believe people have a right to kill the threat to themselves. In the most extreme and henious of crimes, such as the rape, and butchery of a child, because they have not only brought pain beyond comprehension, because they have brutally and ruthlessly extinguished an innocent life... I believe these people has forfeited their right to life. Only then can justice be done.
A friend of mine always recites, in cases like this, that two wrongs don't make a right. By saying this, I get the impression that he belives that killing in-and-of-itself is wrong. This, I do not believe... I believe that, like a great many other things, it is the how, and why... the heart behind the act, that deems if it is right or wrong... This is all I shall say on this matter...

You and I are about to have words.
What did I do this time? 😕
Well first off, about the Elder Scrolls thing. You have gone as far as to tell me in GameStop that you cant exactly nail down the specifies of our discussion concerning the next game in the series.
I take offense because you are knocking my credibility, implying in an earlier post that the news about the book series had come form an unreliable source. If I recall I told you I had found the announcement on Kotaku, you were more than welcome to have seen it yourself. But, if you don't believe me you don't believe me. I guess I must be the village idiot who spews forth nonsense and every once and a while it is true, or at the least a very good coincidence. I never passed anything off as official regarding Elder Scrolls 5, but by all means from now on take my words with a grain of salt.
Actually it is usually the other way around. 90% of the time, you are correct, though there is time to time that you are not. The fact that you see the glass as half-empty (and by this I mean, you see what I said as derogatory to you) is your problem. All I was saying is that in this incedent, I had no proof other than your spoken word. And even at that, noone would have known it was you who told me this untill YOU started arguing about it in an internet message board. If I remember correctly, Knightfall... I mean Anderson... thought that I was talking about someone else.
I rarely take someone's word as absolute evidence. Too much mis-information flying around, to the point that even the most reliable of sources can be wrong.
I'm not going to sit there and know that it was me you were calling a liar. Once again, I never passed what I had heard about it as official news, and my opinion was and still is that it will be an MMO? The kid asked if there was going to be another one and I said yeah, probably in 09 or 10, I bet it will be an MMO. I scalded you because your were implying to the kid that there wasn't going to be another one for quit a while.

Obviousally we both remember the incedent differently. And neither is going to give up their point of view on it. I am not saying that either of us is lying, I still believe my side is correct, but we both remember it differently. Odds are the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

lol Yeah, and I would put a few in my basement. What if someone was frozen backwards?
who'd want that?
that'll be insanely infamous, then. I wonder how many people would actually want to buy it or something...
I'd probably buy one or two criminals to place in our dungeon entertainment room or something. That would be cool.

Now THAT'S a thought! 😉

queeq, i've voiced my opinion, and now i'm done with this topic. I don't want to think about it, I don't want to talk about it. Like i said,, this topic makes me sick.
Why? It's not like it's something unimportant if people here start advocating the death penalty. Besides, you don't have to join in.

Well, I still believe my side is correct as well. We could always track down the customer and ask him what happened.
Originally posted by queeqMy main reason for advocating the death penalty would be because of the nature of the crime, also my main reason for disgust.
Now THAT'S a thought! 😉It's getting better. 💃

Also you said that countries with the death penalty have the same amount of crime. Do they have the same amount of crime that would require the death penalty?
I said that there is no evidence that the death penalty has any preventive effect. There is no change in crime between states in the US that have and do not have the death penalty. Also, there's no noticeable change when states abolish the death sentence, which again proves that the preventive qualities of the death penalty are non-existent.
So then it all comes down to using it for some sense of wrath or gratification. And frankly, I do not see what benefit anyone can have from killing a person. You will not get your loved ones back, it will not undo the damage done, all it gets you that it may feel good to have someone killed. That's a scary thought.
Now, a proper punishment, sure. Who can arue with that. The victims usually get life, why not let the perpetrator have life as well.
