2004-06-11 [member left]: theres a fine line between love and hate

2004-07-10 [windowframe]: and hate is a very stong word. Unless your an extreemly strong pacifist the test for hate is thus: would you kill the person you 'hate'. Think about it first though, don't jsut say yes for teh sake of it... would you really do it, would you really stand up and kill another human, another person w/ family that cares for them, good qualities as well as bad? Very few people would, if they're honest w/ themselves...

2004-07-12 [Depression Supression]: I would kill a person if I hated them enough...If someone kept constantly teasing me even if I tried to stay out of their way, and if they constantly put me down, even my family and friends...and they threaghtened me.Yes, I would attempt to kill them.Maybe when I was older though..and living on my own.>.<It would be easier...to hide the body..and to deal with it.-.-;*points to all the massacres happening at schools* People like that were made fun of all the time, and the idiots never gave him/her a chance.It doesn't surprise me that they brought a gun to school and tried to kill all the people that made their life a living hell*tilts head and itches arm*

2004-07-12 [windowframe]: ... I'd say I dare you to, but it's pointless. Like I said, it's one thing to say you'll do something, another thing entirely to actually go through w/ it. ... There was a shooting in a school a while back, kid came in witha gun, shot the student who had bullied him all his life, killed him. ... That student who he shot and killed had, a few weeks earlier, pulled a young girl out of the road, saving her life from a speeding drunk driver. Did he really deserve to die? Did that one stupid child really have the right to take anothers life because he couldn't see past his own misery? I think not.

2004-07-12 [Depression Supression]: Dare me to kill someone?O.oI would never kill someone because..er..someone else told me to>.<..the person I would want to kill would have to provoke me..for a LONG time and do many many unspeakable terrible things till the point I was driven to loose my temper and ..seriously injure them.>.<Wouldn't you go through with it if they teased you constantly every single day and class you were in at school?And if they looked into your personal life and taunted you about that and spread rumors and all that sh**?>.<Well....maybe he didn't have the right to take someone's life.and maybe it didn't seem right.But is the student who was shot ever going to make fun of someone ever again?Maybe..but its

2004-07-12 [Depression Supression]: unlikely considering what he just went through..and maybe he didn't deserve it..but after what the kid went through, if that kid was willing to go and shoot someone intending to kill, knowing he might be in jail or w/e for the rest of his life afterwards, and that it would completely destroy his life...doesn't that say something?It may seem wrong to you..but if he was provoked and teased so much that life wasn't worth living, or he would throw it all away...I think he did what he had to..

2004-07-12 [windowframe]: ... I spent the whole of my primary school life being teased. I moved class twice at secodayr school because my friends sided with my bullies and alientated me, i've put up with constant rumours about my sexuality. Yet I have never, once thought for any moment that that gives me teh right to kill another human being. SO, the answer to your questiojn is: No, I wouldn't. The student who was shot might not make fun of anyone ever again, bu he's sure as hell not going to save anyone's lfie ever again, si he? H'e snot going to be able to realise what he did wrong as he matures, he's not goign to be able to marry, have kids, love, ask for forgiveness...why? becaus some self centred asshole shot

2004-07-12 [windowframe]: him. and did it solve his problem? did he suddenly feel better? and for teh record - when it classes as a crime of passion - the person doning teh crime doesn't think about what they're throwing away, what will happen to their life afterwards - so it doesn't really show what he was willing to throw away either, becasue he didn't think about it.

2004-07-12 [windowframe]: He didn't do what he had to do. He did what he wanted to do. He gave up on being human, and resorted to being bestial. He took the easy way out. And, being as he didn't commit suicide, you can't really say he was teased so much his life wasn't worth living, either.

2004-07-12 [Depression Supression]: *scratches head*^^; I guess you have a point..But are you serious?You never ONCE thought about killing them even though they made fun of you?*tilts head* What did you do when they made fun of you?

2004-07-12 [windowframe]: I did, i though it would be very rewarding to stick a sharp pointy object in them, and I have been in a few fights... but I was raised by people who loved me and at the end of the day What they said were only words, I also have morals... I believe that no matter how big an asshole a person can be, they're still a person, and an equal, and I have no right to take their life.

2004-07-12 [Depression Supression]: Ick..^_^; nvm.Sorry for bothering you...

2004-07-12 [windowframe]: I'll admit I get angry, I have a temper, I loose it easily... but I have friends who help me calm down... I also have one hell of a stubborn streak, I refuse to change my moral beliefs because a minority of assholes, because at the end of the day, they *are* a minority... I may not like the people, they may not respect me... but they're still humans, and therefore, as far as i'm concerned, Equals... it's a lot easier to see themas equals though, when you've seen their good side as well. When you've seen them being loyal as hell and sacrificing lots for their friends, you realise that just because you personally, don't get along with them, doesn't mean they're 100% asshole...
