My main point is that i dont truly believe that people in themselves can be good or evil, i think peoples acts are capable of it, but "evil acts" are usually the result of a disturbed mindset and so the person should be regarded as ill rather than evil.So, we should pity serial killers instead of putting them in jail?

or maybe some strong sense of smell (that can come in handy)That could also be really bad. Like if someone farted beside you in an elevator. Or when you're taking a shit in the bathroom. God, I've choked myself before with a really mean turd, and my sense of smell sucks.

You don't need turn back the clock of evolution to get crazy strength. All you have to do is be retarded.
Wait . . . what about a retarded monkey? God, it would be a superhero!

I hate seeing real people kiss, makes me sick.
Nightclock i feel quite astonished to hear this. As a person to see two people in love is quite a sight, not something that you should feel nausea. Hell my loved one is more amazed to be kissed in public than in intimate surrounding. Could this nauseousness be due to something underneath the pysche.
I can kind of understand where nightclock is coming from. If I'm sitting on a bench in a park, and across from me, a couple is making out, I feel a little sick. It's more of a mixture of anger ("Get a room, I don't wanna see that!") and being uncomfortable. Locking lips isn't really something a couple is supposed to do in public.
A question about learning Japanese independently:
Is it possible to learn how to read Japanese without learning how to speak Japanese?
I have a lot of free time on my hands, and I'd like to learn Japanese so I could translate the manga series out there that get ignored (like Akagi and Kaiji and the rest of Fukumoto's stuff). I don't have a burning passion to learn Japanese so I can watch unsubbed anime or one day go to Japan. I just think it'd be cool to have another translator out there willing to translate cult projects.
I recently started using a guide for learning Japanese (called "Japanese is Possible"), but it focuses on speaking Japanese, not on writing it. It has vocabulary words, but nothing is written in Japanese. It's just romanji, and I feel like if I continue with that, after a few months, I'll be speaking Japanese with no idea how to write or read it. And that is the opposite of what I want. I wouldn't mind if I could read Japanese but not speak it or understand it being spoken.
But is that even possible? Or does reading it and understanding it spoken go hand in hand? And if it is possible to learn just how to read Japanese, would that be productive, or would it be akin to tying one hand behind my back?
I say all this as a smart person with a lot of free time on my hands. I say this also as a person who has studied two foreign languages in the past (Latin and French) and had difficulty in speaking and understanding both languages but did alright when it came to reading and writing the languages. Hell, even with English, I do a lot better with the written word.
Any help concerning this topic would be much appreciated.

Do actions dictate whether a man is evil, or is intent all that matters?
If I kill a person in cold blood, am I not evil? What if I killed a person in cold blood because he was the leader of a nation and was planning to go to war? What if the war was for the nation's independence? What if the war was for monetary gain?
Morality is one hell of a complicated issue.

What do you think? I seriously cant think of an answerTaking a guess from another post that brushes up with this topic. The decedents of Adam and Eve created the races of Africa. Asians are also out due to another child and his wife. Which leaves, Caucasian and Arabic.
Though it brings up a question. If Adam, Eve and Lilith were the first humans..Where the fuck do the children of Adam & Eve find their wives?
Things like these are the reason I stopped being Christian.
You know, a lot of people either don't know or ignore the whole...Lilith thing. Although, the church encourages that, going so far as to call Lilith a demon...
Irrelevant though.
It's a difficult thing to figure, considering the story of Adam and Eve was most likely a complete fabrication. So trying to find a logical answer out of a fictional story is...silly.
Anyway, Fpod is probably correct.
And either the human race is a product of incest, or God created more people later and noone wrote about it. I'm pretty sure the Bible doesn't actually say that no more people were created, just that Adam and Eve were the first.
I had a teacher who said that Adam and Eve weren't the only humans created, just the first, and quoted Cain's tale as evidence. It says something like, after Cain killed Abel, he went out to the people east of Eden.
None of it really makes sense though. If God created other people besides Adam and Eve, someplace away from Eden, then did the other people fail God's test, too? Or did God just give them shitty lives because Adam and Eve failed? Or were Adam and Eve the ones God only cared about testing?
lol, theology

Is there anyone else here who would want a tail for it's utility and not for some fetish reason?I wouldn't really mind having one so I could do cool stuff like Goku in Dragonball, but for a fetish? No way.
Imagine if your girlfriend had a tail, and you two were doing some kinky sex stuff, so you were wearing a blindfold. You think you've got her tail, and you're rubbing it all over your dick and everything, and then you find out it was her dog or cat's tail. That would be messed up.

Mine was December 14th. December birthdays mean that one of your Christmas gifts becomes a birthday gift, or people get you something that is both for Christmas and your birthday.
Unless you are rich.
But happy birthday, sir.
December birthdays also mean that your parents had sex in March.
Happy birthday, JoeLuvAnime.
Happy birthday, DxTRiNiTYLiMiTxD.
Happy belated birthday, Afroman.
Happy belated birthday, Dante.

Hentai has made me discover more about myself. To a certain extent, all of us have come to realize that we like hentai, which by itself is a form of self-discovery. Otherwise, we wouldn't be on Fakku in the first place, though I believe there are members who do so for other reasons.My love of hentai (especially certain types of scenes) has definitely helped me to learn more about myself and gain more self-esteem and self-respect. That sounds weird, but when you're unsure of yourself, unsure of what you like, unsure of what you think, it can affect the way you feel about yourself. By noticing how I reacted to certain things in hentai, I learned about myself and some of my true feelings, and that helped me to get a handle of myself, to understand who I was.
Of course, I didn't do this at the age of twenty or anything. I looked at hentai when I was still in my teens, fourteen and fifteen and sixteen, but it still helped me. So, kids should watch hentai? Maybe not, but it did help me.
Hentai also gave me confidence. Rather, hentai and the people who like hentai gave me confidence. If I watch an anime series and think that a character's little sister is hot, I may believe that I'm alone. But when I watch a hentai that features a little sister character having sex, I know that I'm not alone, because the hentai wouldn't have been made if there weren't other fans of lolicon out there. And if that's not enough, I can go out onto the internet and personally meet other people who like lolicon and feel even better about myself!
Sexual fetishes can come from the deepest parts of our minds, nay, our souls, and by examining what we like sexually, we can find out more about ourselves. The cock don't lie. It gets hard for a reason.

You look suspiciously like someone I know... >.>I have personally noticed several "clones" (what I call them) walking around this world, people who look just like me. Or maybe I look just like them. It's weird, but that's life.
This person you know . . . his name wouldn't happen to start with a "J," would it?

His wife Lilith begat Cain, who's descendants were a beast race* which is mostly gone. *(Some say that King Minas' Minotaur was of this race due to Illicit relations between one of its members and his wife.)
The Minotaur was real? And monsters are mostly gone but not completely gone?
I just came across a fairly recent picture of me (from April 2008) that doesn't make me look like shit, so I'm gonna post it for everyone to see. BE THANKFUL THAT YOU MAY GAZE UPON MY VISAGE!

That's me and a group of friends at an anime convention. Which ones, you ask? We're the ones right in the middle. Here's a cropped picture:

1) Mason, dressed as Aizen from Bleach
2) Johnny (he's also the guy in the trucker hat in my "fake" picture), as Ichigo from Bleach. He was shirtless because it was hot, not as part of the costume.
3) Andrew, wearing a jacket in the hot weather. He's from Florida.
4) Me. As you can (maybe) see, I have a nice beard, and though you can't see it, I have long hair on the back of my head, too. Hence the name "Shaggy." (The Jebus part is another story entirely.) In case anyone's wondering, my shirt says, "Yuri: My Antidrug."
5) Josh, a cool guy who likes Super Smash Bros
Oh yeah, you see the woman in blue standing behind me? The bellydancer? I danced with her and got a free Peelander-Z DVD. I also scarred a girl by lifting my shirt up and exposing my hairy stomach while dancing. Good times.
