I was going to come back with a mean response, but your miniatures are pretty nicely painted, so I won't.

Video seems innocent enough to me, just asking people to protest publicly. No hacking threats.

Wow Melissia has destroyed her yet. Few.

Anonymous are the greys, but their operations are questionable and kinda lulzy they have attack id4chan and 4chan.

I'm saying I really needs me some money for a new SOB list, or alternatively I really have an eye on a Weatherby .22LR so I can compete in NRA smallbore competitions. Come on mayyn, help a brother out.

(note I used to agree with this too. Then I gots me some money and I didn't believe it anymore. Its almost like how life should be).

So you're classing a new SoB list as a need?

That's a very broad claim to make. You have absolutely no way of kowing the background of the other posters present here.


I mean, what if we were both raised in a Sudanese refugee camp? Wouldn't that be a coincidence?

This.

Also you are an odd looking teenage girl.

There's a Michael Jackson joke in there somehwere, I know it.

Picture was from a long time ago, as I said in that thread, mate. Did I mention I framed that picture? Yeah.

Thanks, I take pride in that Shrike, too bad he broke D:

Yet you have a computer (assuming your not at an internet cafe), play video games, and I assume some kind of table top game since your on Dakka.

Yeah. You must really be struggling financially to be able to do this, to the point that stealing is the only option you have /sarcasm

I don't play Tabletop anymore much, the person who got me into it, my girlfriend, still plays avidly.

I do have a quite nice computer, and I do indeed play video games, not as much I would like to however.

I turned 24 recently, I know what its like to go through a life that requires you to steal to survive.

@Frazzled - Dude, don't reveal my true identity...

The picture was from a long time ago but you are now a teenage girl?

24 isn't a teenager. Consistency is vital to fiction (but then the hallmark of most melodrama is that it isn't consistent so you could run with it).

I think...and I'm just going out on a limb here, that Karon might not actually be a teenage girl. Am I right?

I'm more skeptical of the melodramatic pity plea of the downtrodden survivalist forced to steal to live but has the time/money for internet and video games than the girl part (I'm sorry, no matter how someone spins it that just doesn't fit). There are ways to become a girl if your into that sort of thimg

Mom's basement is a rough place.

How the hell did we go from an underground organisation discussion to determining gender....?

I'm just waiting for an opportunity to blame the victim.

How long must we suffer? How long must we slave away at our monitors, our eyes glued to the monitor as we post, our vapid gaze borken only when our Lord-and-master remembers to bring pop-tarts and KFC. You! Yes, you, with the tissues! When did you last see true daylight? When did you last walk amonsgt the marbled paths of whatever gleaming metropolis you might live in?

Enough. Enough, says I! No more. Follow me, brothers! Rise from your crypts, from your caves, your dark places of the world. Arise! Shower and arise! Look hence, how our former master pales upon realising our intent. To me, brothers, to meeeeee!

Funny how the world spins sometimes

Moat of their deeds are harmless and quite funny (habbo hotel raids.) and others are pretty bad(hacking people's facebook accounts and stuff.)

You were very convincing

They USED ti be acceptable. Now they're just plain immature.

Oi! Not today!

I'm having a relaxing day watching classic Dr Who in my pants!

And yes, I'm actually serious. Having your own flat is awesome! Though it might disqualify my objection, as its not a basement.

Yah gauiz that's me.

Please tell me I'm not the only one scared at least a little by this.

Food, shelter, and water are also wants. You only need them if you want to live.

Needs are contingent upon wants. For example, if I want to work in corporate America, I need home internet access and a phone in order to communicate with my employer.

Again, I need you stuff. I know I may have more stuff than you, but I really neeeeed it. Its morally required that you give it to me, and I can be excused for any crimes I commit in procuring them. You don't want to be immoral now do you?

Why would you want to be moral at all?

The argument of "morality and the law are not the same thing" is a fallacy. It, more often than not, is true--but it's not a definitive statement and it's more often than not true simply because a great many societal norms that are imposed upon us through laws are creations of a government to ensure that order is maintained and the 'system' doesn't fall apart.

No, morality and law are not the same thing. Often times the law reflects morality, but that doesn't mean their the same anymore than your reflection in a mirror is the same as you.

So?

And why is wanton deviancy any different from wanton conformity?
