Okay, please quit bickering over something that doesn't mean much.

I have a funny feeling im actually human belive it or not big_smile

I honestly have no idea, but i would rather be a stelagon anyway.
I wouldn't want to be a wolf because:
1.I dont want to run on 4 legs
2.I dont wear clothes, ewwwwwww
3.my sence of smell and hearing are sensative, i dont want that
4.i'd rather be other creatures
5.i dont live as long
6.being a canine would be a shock, and things such as my nose gets in my line of sight will annoy me
7.Apart for being cuter, maybe stronger and faster, theres no real advantage of being one

I wouldn't mind being a dragon, as long as i walked on two legs, and i was a lightweight, humanoid dragon.

do i think it would be awesome to be able to take on an animal form or something? yes. does that mean i believe that i am suffering from a mythical disease which turns me into an animal every full moon, no... no it does not

why? because unlike you, i believe in things that can be proven, and whilst it cant be technically unproven, all the lack of any evidence points to your "belief" as you call it being ridiculous

id like to hope that you and everyone like you will grow up one day (all the vampires lycanthropes dragons fairies etc.) but i dont have to be "physic" (i believe you meant psychic) to realise that not many of you will, one of the perks of living in a society that believes in being so politically correct that technically i shouldnt be telling you how ridiculous i think you are

and before anyone points out the fact that i wouldnt condone ridiculing someone based on a religious belief, this hardly qualifies

christianity = belief in a god which exists in a place we can't access until we die
belief in werewolves etc. = believing that humans can turn into wolves... despite the fact that there are no modern (credible) witnesses to such acts (unless you count those people who grow excessive amounts of hair, or are raised by wolves)

also youll note that modern "werewolves" and "vampires" starting popping up around the same time as those creatures were featured in movies and other forms of media, thus taking away any credability they may have had

kinda like scientology, whose creator is quoted as saying something along the lines of "im sick of writing books for 5cents a word, starting a religion is the best wy to make money"

Kamineko · Jul 16, 2008 10:10 AM

While I agree with most of what you just said, you should really just take a moment to think about who you're talking to.

He (or she, I can never tell) is a 10 year old kid. Even though we may know for a fact that what they believe in is false (like, hey, what do you know: werewolves ain't real), they are 10 years old. This is their time to fantasize and dream and have imaginations and think that they are a werewolf or whatever. Even if you know otherwise, you don't tell a little kid something like "hey santa clause isn't real" or "hey even though you may really love your pet cat their brains aren't able to love you back you know?" I mean it may be true but it's just kind of unnecessary, at least to go on at such length as that.

I just told them I found it funny and said that eventually they'll look back and laugh, but there was no need for that essay on why you hope they'll grow up when they probably don't even know what puberty is yet.

Fletch_Talon · Jul 16, 2008 10:15 AM

kids mature a lot faster nowadays, and frankly if a 10 year old girl wants to argue with the big kids and say things like "It's so typical of a "15" year old to be like you" as if anyone older than her is immediately closed minded and wrong then she can deal with an adult argument... or essay as you so appropriately put it

ok to be honest my real problem isnt with her as such, its the fact that there are people my age and older who started off like her and are still like that, you said she'll grow up, i disagree, i hope she does, but chances nowadays are pretty high she'll keep this belief well into adulthood

Kamineko · Jul 16, 2008 10:23 AM

Look a lot of kids do grow out of it. Honestly I think the kids who don't have bigger problems in their life than believing in werewolves or vampires.

Trust me, I have as much of a problem with teenagers like that as the next guy. The kinds who shop exclusively at Hot Topic and get their fishnets and their eyeliner (unisex) and giant industrial boots and claim to being a vampire "but not in some commercialized Hollywood sense" they say as they proudly don the garb of a mallgoth knight.

Yes, those types are insanely annoying and get on everybody's nerves. But they're in high school, that's when things start getting annoying if they keep up with it. If someone's 10 years old, they're still allowed to believe in that and there's no need for a preemptive strike to try and ensure that they don't end up like that. And it's fine for a 10 year old to think that older people are closed-minded, that's one of the joys of being 10 years old. You have a certain innocence and ignorance to "reality" that other people "just don't get". That's why shows like Kids Next Door get made.

Trying to stop the high schoolers who think they're werewolves is as righteous a motive as any, but try targeting the people who actually have it coming to them, and aren't just having fun in their pre-pubescent years.

Fletch_Talon · Jul 16, 2008 10:35 AM

you are right, the problem is by the time they become teenagers, theres really no talking sense to them

in saying that i guess its the same for 10 yr olds too, so i guess we just have to put up with them, unless we can find the exact point where they arent too young or too old to see sense

but that age would depend on the individual...

the more time i spend on the internet, the more i feel that the world is soon to be plagued by werewolves/vampires the only literature that will be released is slash fanfiction (though i really wouldnt call it literature) and the most in depth discussions will resemble spending 5 minutes on the /b board at 4 chan (5 minutes is too much)

then i just have to remind myself that there are people my age and lower who dont spend this much time on the internet (thank [insert deity of your choice])

icydragon · Jul 16, 2008 10:52 AM

I'm confused.What's wrong with being child like?

Kamineko · Jul 16, 2008 10:54 AM

I've been known to browse /b/ every now and then, thank you very much.

As for the fanfic, way back when, fanfic you would find was actually good quality stuff usually. But it's the internet. I forget the name of the "law" but basically it says that since there is no filter on the internet for someone to put up their fanfic or webcomic or whatever, about 95% of it all is worthless garbage. Because all you have to do is like something, throw yourself into it, and put it on fanfic.net or whatever.

nothing, when youre a child, hell theres nothing wrong with acting like a child when youre in your 20s, but the world requires a degree of maturity, most of the time, you will, lead a very sad life if you do not learn that there is a time and place for childish behaviour.

it also helps when you actually accept that youre being childish, i really dont relish the idea of living in a world populated and run by people who actually believe that they have to be home before nightfall when theres a full moon, or that they can turn me into their slave by feasting on my blood (or energy as i hear modern vampires prefer)

Kamineko · Jul 16, 2008 11:16 AM

the modern vampire has a penchant for my chemical romance, eyeliner, and being general wussies. Like that Twilight series or whatever.

Zekira Drake · Jul 16, 2008 11:25 AM

I don't know what to say, though... maybe I'll post later... but my vote is in.

Your debating Skills astonishes me, Fletch :-|

You'll make a terrifying lawyer or politician

I originally thought that this topic was about what you feel you really are on the inside, and what you wish you were, not that you actually BELIEVED you were something.

And no, i dont believe in warewolves, on this planet anyway. THe number of Galaxies is infinite, meaning somewhere out there, extremely far away, everything we've ever dreamed of is there, well not everything.
I am very very sceptical of religion, i'm sort of losing my faith in god, but the fact that god might be real scares mee, and thats why i push on.
Gods so cruel "Believe in me or spend eternity in HELL". He's so vain!

i dont know whether to feel complimented or insulted by that... ill go with both to be honest, my debating skills are my greatest asset and my biggest flaw simultaneously

as for being a lawyer, its never crossed my mind cuz id probably have to defend people i disagree with

My true form is myself. For I am not afraid to be my own person, and have my own thoughts and my own personality. Therefore my true self is never hidden under my skin.

It all depends on how you look at yourself.

Autumn · Jul 16, 2008 5:40 PM

This topic kind of reminds me of His Dark Materials Daemons. And if that were the case as in true form, I'd be a black jaguar named Dekonah, but this is not what this is about so there for I am just a plain human.

I like this thread. It's randomly disturbing, in a good way.
