But I expect Sora to improve as the ASV goes on and have even bigger lead cuts. There's still a significant amount of kiddies, even those who got out a while ago, who have yet to vote.

Plus the SNV slightly favors Sora.

The ASV slope increasing can give Sora just enough ground to cover as he begins to level off during the SNV.

Since the first big ASV cut, Sora has been on pace to win with his current hourly average vote cut.

And he just won another one.

Last time they met, Sora cut 1486 votes off of Squall's lead from the peak, in a match where they combined for about 45k votes.


In that case, Sora may have a chance.

Hey Smuffin, how about taking the government out of marriage completely?

Government just does civil unions, churches and such do marriages.

Thus marriage has no governmental standing on its own, while civil unions have no religious standing of their own. Then the individual religious groups can determine what they believe marriage is.


Brilliant!

You can have private roads. Many countries already do.


I was just about to say this.

And I do not necessarily oppose public schools, I just oppose the current system of having the State and even the Feds regulate and standardize everything. The local cities and districts have a better idea of what works for the local children than the State and Feds. An example would be a few schools here in Louisiana that have broken away from the State and started operating on their own. Most have gone from very poor schools to some of the best in the state. A few suffer from corruption and aren't doing as well, but corruption will always interfere.

Yeah, this is exactly what I want. Once again, moving it from the federal level to the state level is the first step. If people desire to "marry" they can do so through a church if they'd like, and the marriage would be recognized by/legislated by the rules of that particular church. If they'd like to sign a formal contract that the government would enforce, they could do that too, but that would be similar to any legal arrangement and every case would not have to be the same.

Let me as you a question though, what is the stated reason for the government to "recognize marriages" at all? As I said, the only one I can think of is to promote what the state views as morally correct behavior. If that's the stated reason, why shouldn't they be able to ban gay marriage? If we're allowing the government to make a value judgment that "married" is better than "not married" then why can't they also make a judgment that "opposite sex married" is better than "same sex married"?


Pretty much how I feel about marriage too.

See, the problem is the common subconscious thinking that the government has absolute rule over the country/state. Governments were an institution created by man to protect natural rights.

Frédéric Bastiat put it this way:
"What, then, is law? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.

Each of us has a natural right--from God--to defend his person, his liberty, and his property. These are the three basic requirements of life, and the preservation of any one of them is completely dependent upon the preservation of the other two. For what are our faculties but the extension of our individuality? And what is property but an extension of our faculties?

If every person has the right to defend -- even by force -- his person, his liberty, and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly. Thus the principle of collective right -- its reason for existing, its lawfulness -- is based on individual right."

I'd like to take a break from our regularly scheduled FF decline talk to point out that Squall has been slowly bleeding % for the last hour and is gaining votes at a decreasingly slower rate, and stalled for a while there.

I estimate that Sora will need to average around a 12 vote cut per update to pull off a comeback. That's probably way off though.

If some of you are gay, then that would make sense, it's not an insult, just trying to reason with the way you're thinking. The Bible says to worship God. Rick Perry is just expressing himself as a Christian, which he has the right to. If I were in the Middle-East, I'd expect Islamics to expect that I'll be respectful about their religion and not bash them while trying to make expect ions.


Yeah, but see...Rick Perry is failing to grasp basic theological ideas, such as your duty to fellow man, free will and predestination, the existence and nature of sin and the devil, and so on.

I...fail to see how being homosexual is a sin. >_> Its a sin to live how you were born? You don't "choose" one day to be gay. Its just how your body works. If you're not attracted to the opposite sex, then you're just simply not attracted. You can make friends, but if you force a relationship you'd be lying to yourself and the spouse.


Ah, see, that's where the misconception lies.
Many Christians will try to tell you that people "choose" to be gay, but that is simply not true, and they only make Christianity look bad by doing that.
Homosexuality, like other sins, is simply a corruption of the human soul and body by the devil. The choice lies in failing to completely follow God. In a sense, yes, homosexuality is natural, but that is only because of the sinful nature of man. Purification of your soul by accepting Christ is the only way to break free of the devil. It won't necessarily "turn you straight" (although it may do so, I've heard of instances where it has happened), but you will be forgiven of your sins, and it is a step in the right direction.

You see, many many things that are accepted to be naturally occurring to some people are actually sinful.

Many self-proclaimed "Christians" fail to grasp basic theology.

Adultery is illegal in the military FYI


I know, I was just using an example. Maybe adultery wasn't a good one, I guess something more like someone who uses God's name in vain or something. Or just any sin. Everyone sins every day, so the specific one doesn't matter. My point still stands.

As a Christian, I don't see what the problem is with letting gays serve in the military, here's how I see it:

Homosexuality = sin
Adultery = sin
bunches of other common things = sins

Everyone sins. All sin is sin no matter what, and no person is better than the other. Now the divinely elect have a special place, but even we are not more valuable than nonbelievers.

We let sinners (and nonbelievers) into the military everyday. None of them are different then any of the others.

Blocking a group of people from entry into the military solely because they commit a certain type of sin is, quite simply, setting a double standard. There's literally no difference between a gay person and me, aside from the sins we commit and our beliefs (both of which are irrelevant in this situation).

This isn't looking good for Squall.

I skimmed through the pages, but has anyone pointed out that a good chunk of people would know Squall from KH but not Seifer? There could be enough KH fans out there who prefer Squall to Sora solely on the basis of KH but not the idea of "Squall and Rando" vs "Sora v. Riku."

Sora is pretty intolerable as a character, but his rivalry with Riku is actually compelling.

KH fans will look at this poll and say
"Oh, two Kingdom Hearts rivalries against each other! But wait Squall/Siefer? What? lol w/e, Sora and Riku are the main characters anyways so it doesn't matter *votes Sora/Riku*"

It's Kingdom Hearts fanboys we're talking about here.
