If you don't know him, then you shouldn't have made a rather rude remark in a reply, or reply at all for that matter if you don't care.

What seems rude at first may not actually have been rude. Had he answered a different I would have done something silly like "ok then -insert stupid picture here that says welcome back- but he didn't fall for it.

So instead I get to use this~

That is correct, broseph! :)

I originally left when Smashboards was having issues staying online back in September. I was going to leave for a short time anyway, but the fact that I could not access the site confirmed my answer for me. Today I decided to check up on the site and BOOM, I'm back.

Oh, excuse me, I didn't mean to say that Prince Komic's avatar was pornographic in nature, nor did I mean to say that Ms. Verona was committing the pornographic act, I was merely using his avatar as an analogous springboard from lust to the condemnation of the more specific act of lust, pornography.
I was meaning to suggest that out of respect for the basic dignity of Ms. Verona and her wishes that Prince Komic should change his avatar.
We are, as you have illustrated with restating your point, framing the issue in different manners. However, that is an argument from analogy, one I must reject on the fundamental differences between sport and porn, and I hope you will, as being a Christian and man of reason, reject it yourself.

Sport is not morally destructive in the act itself, nor is being hurt a fundamental tenant of sport, though it may occur as collateral. The act in itself is not sinful (criminal against the creator), lust and all its antecedents, however, is.
Lust, as the Catechism says, is "disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure", being an affront to the Natural Law, and an offense against the virtue of chastity and thence Divine Law. So too, pornography is characterized similarly: "Pornography consists of removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties." Hurting oneself through sport is not the intention nor the specific act, in fact, sport in itself is a glorification of God and our competitive spirits; Sex, too, is a glorification of God, lust and pornography are deliberate and disordered perversions of such and thus offenses against the Law. I imagine if sport is somehow perverted, such as the disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of winning, it too would be an offense. Such is not often the case, and even if it did I wouldn't know what to call it.

I am, for the most part, leaving out the consequences. But suffice it to say that I hate utilitarian philosophy and reject the notion that all pain is solely evil, I mean, if it was only evil, then why do good people get hurt? :p

Animals, or other animals I should say, do not have the rational capacity that we have, thus they are not bound by the same moral law, it would not be just to judge those without the ability to know the crime and sin.
We reflect this in our contract law (United States), if it can be demonstrated that one party did not or does not have the capacity to understand the crime they had committed in not giving the consideration or doing the deed that they were obligated to do by a contract, they are free from having to fulfill their obligation, but so too the other party receives their consideration back (if it can be) in return.

Can you tell me whose rights are being violated in pornography without referring to arbitrary religious doctrine? You claim that humanity is bound by moral law, and this is true. However, this morality is an objective morality based on human life, not mysticism. Pornography is a legitimate business because it's entirely voluntary, regardless of how distasteful anyone thinks it is. You say you are a student of Austrian economics, yet you believe that man should be chained by the wishes of a supernatural being in lieu of the government? That seems incredibly counter-productive to me.

Moonmonkey's point about football is actually apt. In fact, football is far more destructive to the players than pornography is to the actors (as long as they are using the proper protection and precautions to prevent the spread of STD's, which the porn industry does). It can take many years off their lives, which is an actual harm that is far more tangible than violating "divine law." Is the health of football players less important than the "dignity" of porn actresses that you believe they should have?

However, both of these professions are entirely voluntary. No one is being forced into football or pornography. The people who get into such professions are taking all of the risks that come with the job and it is their right to do so.

I got 8 alerts all of a sudden and though, ok what the hell just blew up. Turned out more then half of them were from Morbid. Suffice to say I was mildly disappointed, as despite the plethora of likes I have gotten from her I never got that many like alerts at once and was expecting something more.

This was my reaction when I saw that.

Don't you know the law of the internets? There are no women on the internet!

All the Men are Men, all the Women are Men and all the kids are undercover FBI agents! :troll:

jk jk

Ya know, for some reason I kinda always assume most members on forums are males whereas on drawing and writing sharing sites such as Deviantart and Tumblr I start to assume that most members are females for some odd... weird reason....Stupid habit...

One day, I had no alerts to check.

Then, I clicked on my member profile, when all of the sudden "You have 17 new alerts".

Turns out Morbid had liked all my statuses.

Funny how I always assume I'm right when it comes to guessing what someone's gender is as well as what they look like based on how they post...

But then again I'm sure nobody would think that I look like this:


(yes I'm aware I'm allowing my identity to be revealed on the internet but if forum-creeping pedophiles are interested in coming after a 6'2'' black man then by all means... have a ball lol)

We should totally have a day where everyone roleplays as the character(s) in their avatar... yes no maybe so? ok, nvm, IGNORE ME!!

Anyway, what's the general thought on Yellow Devil? A stage hazard? A boss? An event-only character? I'd be pretty sick if you can control it, perhaps in some sort of special boss mode. *sigh* Another pipe dream...
