Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

I watched my grandfather deteriorate and pass away. He was a very religious man and he never said he wanted to die but you could see it in his eyes. The degree to which he suffered and the degree to which he slowly lost all of his dignity cannot be understated. It is one thing to read about it and quite another to see it and understand it because you understand the person who is experiencing a fate that is literally worse than death.

There is a point when suffering becomes so great that a dignified parting from life is a justifiable choice. Setting aside the question of how it is to be financed, everyone has a right to control their own body; including the choice to live or die. For those whose experience of life has become one of constant suffering they should have access to a humane and peaceful way to pass from this world if that is their choice.

@POOHEAD189 Somewhat ironically I must recommend A War Like No Other by Victor Davis Hanson. The Western Way of War by the same author makes an excellent companion.

Over/under on one allegedly corrupt western politician getting more comments than four volcanic eruptions and one of the largest terrorist attacks in history?

There does need to be some delineation in regards to the sexual harassment and assault allegations that are currently going around. There is a tremendous difference between an inappropriate behavior and forcible rape.

I'm not trying to prove anything, though.

@catchamber

Indeed and that is the problem. Andre has made a claim, that he was present at a place and time in which many other people were present. This is a believable claim given our knowledge of Andre; he lives in that part of the world, is interested in politics and so forth.

Now you arrive with the charge that Andre was not, in fact, present. Well, semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit. You have laid the charge, now you must provide evidence.

TLDR: Why should I believe that Andreyich was there, if he won't prove it?

Isolated demand for rigor. Burden of proof falls upon you in this case Catchamber.

@Jbcool Present and ready to go.

What Roleplay section do you mostly post in?

So, denizens of the Guild, which section(s) would you say that you are most likely to Roleplay within and why?

Probably the advanced section. I do a lot of 1x1 in PM but I never post to that section. As to the whys I generally prefer the pacing of the advanced section and I have friends from other sites who come here to 1x1 because RPGuild's PM system has features that we like.

Do you feel that you are "welcomed" as a "member" within this section and/or sections?

Sure. I've never felt unwelcome in any roleplaying section here. Everyone has always been friendly. Even the most combative section, Arena, welcomed me with open arms when I stuck my head in there.

Would you feel comfortable writing in the other sections? Why or why not?

I imagine I would feel comfortable writing in any section.
