Artemis: Now I'm wondering, are you asexual because you never actually had sex and thus don't know the feeling or have you actually done it multiple times and genuinely don't like? Cuz the first isn't that weird.

Ah well, I'm asexual because I have no drive, interest, desire, or inclination towards sex. Its not so much not knowing or not enjoying but that I genuinely don't want to. And no, I've never had sex.

I've never been able to figure out the best way to describe the feeling (or lack of the feeling). Its not fear, disgust, naivety, repression, or abstinence. Its just not wanting to and thus not bothering with it. Its something in and of itself.

It's probably something you'll grow into in time. I'd be curious to know what you think after you've had your first time, my guess is that you'll turn your opinion around pretty quick if you have half a decent lover.

Wings of Fire 06-18-2009 05:29 AM

Way to presume.

Sloth: I'm sure most of you know I can be a pretty cold bastard. (Dunno if I got the right definition for Sloth here, though. Blame wiki otherwise.)

I don't think you did. Sloth is a way of saying you're lazy, not that you are a cold hearted bastard.:D

On the lust thing... Is sex really what it's cracked up to be? I doubt it is, yet curiousity is harder to contain and may be part of the whole lust thing for me.

Without sex, there is no human race...so it is said to be one of the most pleasurable things a person can do.

It needs to be, otherwise there is no human race

Don't go in with too high expectations. You'll only be disappointed, and will probably blame the poor soul who probably went in thinking that you wasn't going to judge her ability too much.

Anger: I've smashed several corrugated wooden doors in half, but I once smashed my fist through a solid wooden one in a particularly foul mood. yes.
Envy: Nope.
Gluttony: I actually don't know what my eating limit is. I've gotten bored of eating a lot before, so yeah.
Greed: If you know my history of ripping people off, this one should be an ibvious yes..
Lust: I guess so, yeah.
Pride: Nah.
Sloth: YES.

wrath or sloth must be the worst of the seven sins.

is the man who murdered another worse than the man who could have stopped it but didnt?

Mac Sirloin 06-18-2009 02:49 PM

I'm afraid you have be blue, naked, and have spent a short period on mars to correctly answer that question.

Havoc 06-18-2009 02:51 PM

Um, the murderer? Why the hell would it be my responsibility to jump in between some raging man with a bazooka out to kill you? Fuck no.

OddjobAbe 06-18-2009 02:53 PM

What if he was to go about less dramatic measures of murdering somebody?

Havoc 06-18-2009 03:23 PM

Well if I could prevent a murder from the chair I was sitting in right now then sure. To much trouble otherwise.

MA 06-18-2009 03:47 PM

i did mean it in a very subtle way, not jumping beween 2 murderous blokes.

Exactly what I was going to say. Thank you, WoF :)

Pride is considered to be the worst sin, as its commonly believed that all other sins stem from pride (you must think yourself better than someone else to be envious, you must think yourself great enough to commit greed, and so on).

If we're being really technical Sloth, in the context of the Deadly Sins, is not laziness. Specifically, its "spiritual apathy" or defying god's will. You could extend this by saying that god wishes us to do something with our lives and thus was commit sloth by wasting away. But its original meaning was intended for people who shirk their religiously dictated responsibilities.

Alcar 06-18-2009 08:12 PM

Anger: I'm fairly well-tempered, but I have on a few occasions raged.
Envy: Oh yes.
Gluttony: Not particularly.
Greed: Not particularly.
Lust: YES.
Pride: YES and NO.
Sloth: Yep.

Alcar...

Daxter King 06-18-2009 09:05 PM

Anger: Im pretty calm in most situations.
Envy: Yes.
Gluttony: I eat. Alot.
Greed: Only reason I want money is to be able to do things and buy things, so guess no.
Lust: Yes.
Pride: Not really.
Sloth: Im lazy like a sloth. ba-dum-tis

Rex Tirano 06-19-2009 03:05 AM

Anger: I rarely get angry - outwardly or otherwise; I'm rather laid back.
Envy: I doubt I get more envious than the next person, same applies as above,
Gluttony: I enjoy food. Alot.
Greed: Not really.
Lust: I'm with Artemis on this one, although my reasons stem from bad times. As a general rule, nowadays I have no sexual desires and I see sex in an obscure way.
Pride: More than I should.
Sloth: Same as above.

I think the more pertinent question is whether the man who murdered Havoc is worse than the man who could have stopped it, but didn't.

The answer is neither.

Havoc 06-19-2009 08:53 AM

Well I didn't know I was the intended victim. In that case I would obviously try to stop it.

mr.odd 06-19-2009 09:59 AM

Anger: I rarely get angry.
Envy: no.
Gluttony: sometimes.
Greed: yes.
Lust: yea.
Pride: no.
Sloth: somtimes .

Dixanadu 06-28-2009 02:34 PM

Anger: Definate yes.
Envy: At times.
Gluttony: Also a definate yes.
Greed: Sometimes I can't be satisfied with what I have.
Lust: I have a dick, it's obvious.
Pride: Nope.
Sloth: Nope.
