    an interesting book about suicide...

    I'm mainly concerned that those who read the book might get the idea that if little Annie is suicidal it's someone's fault - 'there's an evil being guiding her'. In most cases the suicidal person manages to become suicidal all on their owm, any sort of prompting from others is very rare to my...

    Ignore options

    Oh yes, totally, it's especially annoying how her posts show up anyway :p

    an interesting book about suicide...

    Not quite accurate. I've always had my books. That's always been the only constant in my life, I can always read, no matter how much I feel like just grabbing the kitchen knife. Of course there's a reason I made sure to not actually get a good kitchen knife when I moved away from my folks, and...

    Has a crime been commited here?

    Do we know this? Do we know that none of them actually talked to her about going on and not quitting? Didn't seem to me like that option was excluded at all. As I see it that forum is no different than your local Black Metal clique. Heck, *I* could tell you how to most efficiently kill yourself...

    Did you ever throw a book across the room?

    Don't think I ever threw a book... I can't recall it if I did.

    Books I own but haven't read yet

    I've got a list in my Book Log. I keep it updated, though it is far from complete. Many books I have not even put on there yet. It's the TBR list that's interesting of course. On that one are books I've had lying around for years and years on end tsk tsk. I try to tell myself that I shouldn't...

    Ignore options

    We're not ignoring the wonderful people here, we're wanting to ignore those that aren't so wonderful ;) I for one have one person on my ignore list. What did it take to get there you may wonder? Simple enough: a rather horrid flaming and a show of disrespect that I haven't even been exposed...

    Are you afraid of terrorists striking where you live?

    My main worry right now is whether we'll keep Left Wingers in the city council after today's election. Terrorism? Nah, my government seems to think DK is extremely important in the war in Iraq and is thus an obvious target for terrorism - I have my doubts as to whether terrorists even know...

    Recommend a very good (semi-)obscure fantasy/sf book

    I will, as I've done before, recommend The Aquasilva Trilogy by Anselm Audley. It's published in UK so for the US dwellers it will likely be rather obscure. Possibly also to UK dwellers since Audley was 19 when the first book, Heresy, was published. Yesterday I saw a review of it on Amazon.com...

    Find something new to read

    I have only one way to find non-Danish books: Browse the web. And that's what I do. I would never buy a book based only on a rating on that site. But that site might draw my attention to a title I had not previously heard of, and such might warrant further investigation. So there we go. It goes...

    Find something new to read

    I've registered and intend to plot in a few of my fav books and a few of my hate books, and then I'll see what it suggests I might like, if it suggests books I already know and dislike - well, that'll show us how much it's worth. But what the heck...if nothing else I'll see some titles I've...

    "Mom delivers 16th child" - Is there something wrong with this?

    Well said. Now personally I'm always ready to discuss religion and politics, I'm frankly quite fond of it. But I've seen quite a few internet fora so far and I've Modded and Admined some of them, so I have complete understanding for why the Administration of a message board may not desire to...

    Rammstein

    Ohne dich kann Ich nicht sein, ohne dich Mit dir bin Ich auch allein, ohne dich Ohne dich zähl Ich die Stunde, ohne dich Mit dir stehen die Sekunde, ohne dich My favourite song from the Reise, Reise album. It's a wonderful wonderful song. And it means a lot to me for very personal reasons...

    "Mom delivers 16th child" - Is there something wrong with this?

    See? Other strongly religious people can be mature about this. They don't have to yell and moan. A thank you and much respect to Isabell for proving that not all strong believers are die-hard fanatics.

    Is Motokid playing ‘devils advocate’ with the forum or he is an ‘agent provocateur’

    Halo's right, moonshot(if you're reading this), over in that thread you sounded first very offended that someone told you we weren't allowed to include religion, then very offended that it was in the members' agreement and it wasn't just some members you could complain about, then you continued...

    which path?

    Depends on the decision you're about to make. Personally I believe in using your head when making decisions, but also in havign your head considering how your heart will feel afterwards. For instance: My heart doesn't love the man but marrying him will be smart because he has money and...

    Has a crime been commited here?

    One of my friends had her depression brushed off as 'teen angst'. The fact that her doc refused to send her onwards in the system got her 5 years in hell on the verge of developing schizophrenia. Talk about a lack of knowledge about the issue, and from a doctor no less. For obvious reasons she...

    Homeowner Defends Himself & Property with Gun - And Wins!!!!

    And how, pray tell, would you know that? We have criminals. They have guns. People get shot here. But clearly because we've stricter gunlaws even criminals must surely abide by them... where did you get that idea? I have been on the wrong end of a wannabe rapist - thankfully I got away...

    Homeowner Defends Himself & Property with Gun - And Wins!!!!

    I've just been into this debate on anotehr forum and have been told off by a fellow debator for criticising the culture behind the gun laws, so I'm frankly not in the mood for expanding on the subject. I will say this though. I don't believe guns should be available to anyone so readily as...
