Coming out to my family as genderqueer x\\x; I wanted to do it on my birthday...

O.O -draws in breath-... Good Luck >< I'm really rooting for you.

Heh, thanks =3

Your parents are ultra conservative are they?

I'm not really sure what that term means ... But they're not strict or mean or anything. But I'm just so nervous x.x;;;

Here's the link to the thread I started about it. You can read if you're interested: http://trisphee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3959
If you're not I totally understand ^^;

No way im not interested... I've had friends do this before. Some of them had to leave home because of the aftermath, others family were cool about it.

Good luck Ultima! -Hugs-

*Walks in* so who's played Marvel v. Capcom 3?

Well from what I've gathered your "gender Queer" doesnt exactly come off as "Gey guys, I'm gay". Coarse I could be misunderstanding the term, but with so many terms these days I wouldn't be surprised eitherway.

Anywhoo, Did anyon see that the UN is gunna put SANCTIONS on Gadhafi?? Ooooooo he's gunna get it now ooooooo *sarcasm out the ass*

Well, I already told them I only like girls ^^;; And sexuality is different from gender ......
-drops subject-

And the only thing I understood of that sentence is 'UN' ...

Gadhafi: has been the leader of Libya since a coup in 1969.
Sanction: Basically, cutting off libya from the rest of the world, or something among those lines.

Long story short- The UN are trying to punish Gadhafi and Libya so they are going to put sanctions on him, basically meaning that the UN is going to say "Stop that! Bad boy! Bad! Were not going to send you stuff! Bad boy! Slap that little hand!"

Sanctions dont do shit, they have sanctioned Iran, North Korea, Iraq (That went well didn't it?), and everytime it was met by "So? Big deal."
And when sanctions dont work~ They send in us. Kinda like they did in Iraq, and then they imediately turned around and started hasling us over going into Iraq under THEIR orders. Because the UN is a useless organization.

Hey, now Cronis, they aren't completely incompetent or else WWIII would have happened already.

WWIII hasnt happened because the USA met the USSR at every turn with the understanding "You nuke us, we'll nuke you."
Early 1990's, Executive Outcomes enters Angola and fight the Angola rebels who had taken over the nation, raping and killing and mutilating whoever they could find. 300 Executive Outcome soldiers take out over 10,000 Angolan UNITA rebels, and liberates much of Angola from the rebel regime.
UN enters- ousts Executive Outcomes and thereby banishes Mercenaries from entering African campaigns. UNITA forces re-enter Angol, and take over 500 UN peace keepers hostage.

1994- The Rwanda Genocide begines. UN Peacekeepers enter the scene, but result in little to no change in the situation. Executive Outcomes attempts to enter the scene towards the beginning of the Rwandan Genocide in an attempt to stop the Hutu army from killing anymore Tutsies. The UN refuses to allow EO into Rwanda. The Genocide continues for several months.

Thats just two examples of incompetance by the UN.

If anyone has prevented WWIII from happening it was the USA, not the UN.
Not many nations are willing to go toe to toe against the USA's arsenal.

Thats not even bringing up Darfur, The Georgia campaign, and a number of other events that have accord across the globe.

hmm... I guess that is true. This reminds me of a very interesting debate that I'm going to have tomorrow. Do you believe that the U.S.A is justified using Private Military Firms in its military objectives overseas?

Yup, especially since Mercs. are a common use in Military opperations world wide.
The USA has Black Water (or XI as they are now known), the United Kingdoms have the Gurkhas, The French have the FFL (who are also the French's Special forces), so on and so forth. Mercenaries are a major factor in war. However, the use you are refering too is about Merc.s (such as Black Water) who work as security for diplomats and CIA agents in the field, not as active military combatants.

There is no Immoral aspec to the USA's use of Mercs. What certain Merc. groups do is a fault of the Merc.s alone, not the employer in many cases, such as when Black Water went on a shooting spree when a squad over reacted to a situation, resulting in a unneeded masacre and the merc.s being ousted from the faction and shipped back home. However, Merc.s are also cannot, in most situations, be held accountable for certain actions that would be concidered war-crimes by any other army because Merc.s have no flag.

So I've heard. Considering that I'm going to end up debating one side and the other at some point tomorrow, there is a great concern about that unaccountability that Merc.s have. In other words, Mercenaries go around torturing and raping people because of the lack of practical jurisdiction on them. There's a sense that there is no justice to those peoples in such a case, despite the "jurisdiction" held by the Iraqi government.

Thats throwing the whole litter into a pot.

Not every Mercenary group is a band of rapists and murderers. The North African Merc.s in Libya are psychopaths. The South African group Executive Outcomes did everything they could to stop rape, murder, and mutilation at the hands of UTILA rebels. Black Water is an Effective group, but they shoot first and ask questions later. They dont go around raping and killing. Despite common misconception, Merc.s do have accountability. If you rape and pillage you loose your job, that means you loose that nice paycheck.

Indeed. That seems like what that debate is going to boil down to in the end. *case closed*, So let's start back, Have you play Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 yet?

No, never been a fan of those games.

I see... well then, how's your life been?

I don;t play many Marvel and Capcom games either. I prefer to go down the MMORPG path, no matter how trite that is by now >.> Funk knows how addicted I am.

Oh. Yeah. Haven't played Lode Runner in eons. I think the one I downloaded at school's already expired. Whoops.

Meh, I'm fine.

Not been sick recently, I hope?

Well that's good. I've been trying to get adequate sleep, but so far, it has eluded me. X|

nope, I'm fine.

That sucks, sorry to hear
