People, we’re voting in the “which book to read topic” you might want to jump on over there. 🙂

@Rolena, Oh, I wish you were here!!! That would be epic!!!

@Hope, oh, you ARE in Indiana! That’s good to know! Awwww. I wish you could make it! I won’t be at that convention, sadly. 🙁

@hope Congratulations on your governor. Apparently he’s better than ours.

That’s neat @anna-brie. Foreign politics are pretty interesting.

Yeah, this … it’s crazy this year.

@Daeus understatement of the century… 😛

It’s like a rollercoster of hopefulness…I think Cruz can win…no, he’s not doing well…yes, he’s doing well…no, Trump is doing better…it will probably go to convention…no, Trump might win after all… Anyone else going though this?

@Hope YES. However this election t…[Read more]

Goody, now let me round in the other peeps. Hmm, let’s see.

That’s great @hope. Apparently Indiana is “The Big State” now. I would have got to shake his hand except my family wasn’t able to make it to his rally. I’m looking forward to California too. That will be really interesting.

Yeah, this … it’s crazy this year.

@Hope Sounds pretty good. I would take out the “now” though in the first sentence. I think the drama’s great, but you might want to add a short little pithy down to earth sentence at the end just to tie it all together, make a call to action, etc.

*sigh* @Hope

I need a flashing button on my keyboard that blares the words ‘DO NOT FORGET TAG’ at me every time I make a post.

@Hope phewfk… that would just kill me.

Good example from Lysbeth— I hadn’t remembered that. And I agree one hundred percent with your conclusions.

Which sadly means this topic is nearing its demise.

Noooooo!!!!!! Someone do something! *hysterical panting* I don’t want to stop talking about deep things!!!

@hope I’m not quite sure there’s much to add to that, as I pretty much agree. I think what would (for me) be controversial about suicide mission (aside from the idea of strapping a bomb to yourself) is the intentions behind it. To have pure intentions, to save people, to achieve justice, to bring down evil. That is a mission I would fully support,…[Read more]

We need to have a doctor on staff when Tessa’s asleep and I’m not qualified.

It’s weird to have someone write that you’re asleep. Anyway I’m here. Definitely green. But only the alien will stay green @daeus. It is quite normal, although I think @kate-flournoy to it to another level, for someone to turn green when sick with shock. So @hope, you…[Read more]

Ooh @hope those are so fun… 🙂

Oooooh… wonderful topic! Nice brain stretcher! Okay, let’s see here, bear with me as I try to organize my thoughts.

1. I do not believe that mercy killings are acceptable. Simple enough— I’ll explain, but gimme a moment.
2. I do believe it would be a fantastic story element to challenge any character if it is not glorified.

Now. Why don’t I…[Read more]

A soldier who is wounded and can’t escape from an oncoming enemy and has information that could endanger thousands of lives if the enemy gets a hold of it… Enduring torture violates neither as long as the victim doesn’t give in.

@daeus and @hope So what if for whatever reason the soldier truly believes he would be in danger of giving in to the…[Read more]

@hope and @adry_grace

I think I’d pretty much side with you, Adry. I like to think of moral dilemmas like these in terms of what we do know and what we don’t know. A soldier who is wounded and can’t escape from an oncoming enemy and has information that could endanger thousands of lives if the enemy gets a hold of it knows certain things for…[Read more]

if one is willing to die for their country, is it a sin for one to be willing take their own life for their country?

*having existential crisis* That is the kind of question which could keep me thinking for a good 2 weeks, @hope

I think first of all there’s a difference between a suicide mission, a mission where the likelihood of death is…[Read more]

lol. sorry but you were kind of asking for a lecture @hope
