Yes, but again, you're going on a base of belief that killing people convicted of doing terrible crimes without trial is automatically wrong in moral. I'm not saying it's right, of course it's not right! XD See, I'm just saying it could happen if the ball was kicked in the opposite direction in terms of the beliefs of civilization. If decades ago, when we didn't have this frame of prosecution, and Light's beliefs had been set as law when we didn't have any frame for law, it would be happening today like it was the most normal thing on earth. That's just what I'm trying to say.

Of course I can understand, that was the whole point of speaking my personal opinion on it. XD; I just chose not to see him as a villain myself (HE IS MISUNDERSTOOD EMO KID!!11! D':). To me a villain is a person who kills to harm others, to get a sick thrill of it, to ruin lives -- to me, Light was killing to reach a bigger goal of world peace...okay, so maybe it's not that "rainbow-y", but something like that.

Haha, yeah, this is the first time I've had such heated debates here though. XD

I totally grok it. They be of the English type persuasion in a world that DOES NOT HAVE JAPAN..... -=sigh=-

I can't stand when I have to 'deal with it' and others complain when I say Edward and Brother and such. I wish they get over themselves.

Really, I think the mold is gorgeous. The main reason why I don't want one is that it's not fitting for any of my characters; I don't wanna be all "omg I must have an El because everyone has an El and yesplz" and whatnot.

Although part of it could be due to the fact that El/Shiwoo/etc get so much attention and lesser-known-but-equally-pretty ones don't? I own a DIM Rain (which honestly looks a bit like Shiwoo from some angles) and I've only seen a few other owner pictures. It makes me feel kinda like the fan that likes the obscure characters rather than the oh-so-pretty main ones. :(

*Also, by "what I'm trying to say", I mean that really anything could have been Justice today, even Light's way of doing it. A lot of what Justice is is what is already instilled into our minds as law, punishment, etc. right from the beginning. So I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying in a certain world it could be right. :3 Discussion matter, yesh~!

You link things like anybody really gives a damn about looking at old posts instead of this one. Using Raito made you look like a douche anyway. Since you're boring, we can be done now.

11. This is kind of sad. If they think less of you for something like that, then I'd de-friend them for being dipshit.

All the people going "Harry Potter sucks and the hype sucks and everyone who likes it sucks" are astronomically more immature and annoying than those who just want to enjoy the book.

2 JUST AS PLANNED. xD

4 I like both. The Mr Pullman's criticisms of the Narnia series originally made me sad, but you know, I'm sure if you asked any of my favourite authors about the series of all the rest, every single one of them could find something bad to say. I've read things before that made me suspect that one author I loved was bashing another, and I usually stop reading whatever interview or note it is for fear that reading more will confirm it. I love the HDM novels, but if I had the choice between seeing the Last Battle and the Magician's Nephew as movies, or seeing the last two HDM novels... it would be a hard decision, but I suspect I would pick the Narnia ones. (Moot point, but just as an example)

Aslan's obvious comparison to God never bothered me either. I mean, he's just plain fucking awesome. To be honest, he occassionally made me wish that the Bible had left me as awestricken and adoring of the real God. It's not something I often admit, but I've always found it testimony to the power of fiction as a tool in the right hands. And a real testimony to CS Lewis' skill.

13: ILU. There are times when I want to go through and choke people who call Ed and Al 'Edo' and 'Aru' because the names are listed as 'EDWARD' and 'ALPHONSE'

Pfft, I'll consider that an insult when you get a spine and take off that anonymous cloak. :D

ah yes, but it some European countries brothers do actually refer to each other in such a way. I've been calling my brother 'brother' for years, before I had ever seen FMA or was even really that big into anime. And unbeknownst to me, my father's friend was also referred to as 'brother' by his family growing up too1

3. What's the attraction? (http://youtube.com/watch?v=YWaR5u5z1c8) Bitch plz.

I'm not even attracted to any JE member. I'm just in it for the lulz and the slash. :P

1. So many Discworld secrets! ♥

4. I love Narnia. Children's books, allegory, and all. I wish I could live there. ♥

10. I. Er. thisisaboutmeisn'tit. Fuck, I'm just lazy. Hit me up on AIM or something?

17. I agree with you. He wouldn't blame the victim for dressing provocatively; he would kill the fucking rapist. If it stayed at that level, I'd almost want him in control. But going beyond that is when it gets fucking scary.

18. Same for people that call themselves bitches. :\ It's not classy. It makes people wonder what the hell is wrong with you.

It's a universal rule that any JE song in English automatically sounds stupid. I mean, Miso Soup, Swedish release version? God.

I hate HTML.

1 & 19. WORD. =)

5. The tops are way too flat. No matter how hard I try those hats just look like mushrooms to me.

12. This has absolutely nothing to do with your secret, but: I can't stop staring at the person's bloody lip and broken tooth in your picture. It's really mesmerizing. (Don't ask why; I'm not sure myself.)

wtf!secret: If you want to be picky, it's really pronounced more like "taym-bruh." =| Unless it's a different pronunciation where you come from.

Rofl, yes, I was mesmerized, too, and that's why I chose it for the background

Nice to know I'm not alone. xD

"What if a misandric woman had influenced morality and decided that oppressing men was okay because statistics show that they commit more violent crime?"
BINGO. XD lol, just kidding. That's exactly what I mean though, anything could be or could not be justice. To me though, Light's view was particularly probable, since he was basing it off the base theory that this current world has, which is "Bad people die." In a way, it wasn't really that far from what we already have, so it's not like some mad-man suddenly started believing he was God, and tried to kill off the entire world. It had a point, and that point might have been good, and this is how it could have been Justice in the world of Death Note.

I do understand why people would think of it as villainous, and maybe I didn't word my comment correctly, but what I meant was that I don't understand in the sense of that I can't really see it from my own perspective. To me, he never really lost his mind or started to kill "innocent" people; sure, they were innocent in a sense, but to Light he was the hero, and the people trying to execute him were the villains. In a way, he could have been right if the world had been more in his favor (which it probably would have been in a few more years). It's not like he was ruthlessly killing people left & right for no reason, and to me, that's just not a villain.

Oh, honey, no. Being a pedantic little twit with no social skills and no sense of proportion makes you look like the douche. Trust me on this.

Since you're boring, we can be done now.

You know what's boring? Trolls. Now go spout your opinions to people who actually care. If anyone does care--which I seriously, seriously doubt.
