"donations"

[yamikuronue]

Looks like not only paysite owners are a) crazy and b) calling a purchase a donation for no good reason:

LOL I love this one:

#108   TEEN  DEVIL WORSHIP, A DEADLY FAD?  This item is  free  of
charge  It  is  a brief introduction into  a  growing  fad  among
teenagers, with a list of books related to the subject which  may
prove  helpful for additional research.  Yes, I would  like  this
brochure_____

I can just imagine the parents now.  "OMG I better pick up this one!  Tommy now remember to stay in school, don't smoke or try drugs, and don't worship the Devil."

Edit to say:  I would actually just love to look at the brochures.  I think it would be hilarious.  It'd be like watching an old film from the 50's on etiquette or something.

Personally, my opinion is that if you raise your children and try to be the best parent you can be, then D & D is not going to "corrupt" your child. Seriously, we have enough real concerns, do we need stupid ones, too?

That's it, I'm getting my kid a D & D manual the moment he can read.

*Juggles his complete (D&D 3.5) series of RPing books! And demonic Forgotten Realms fantasy books! And... Neverwinter Nights, Oblivion, and other Satan worshipping games!*

Wow, I assumed the website was fake. It was dripping with sarcasm.

Ever read Dragonlance? My hubby did, and I have read his books. Although, I'll read anything, but I have enjoyed them.

I've seen the Chick Tract on this. I find it difficult to actually take seriously and firmly believe it to be a fine example of "own goal".

Seriously, read it! It's so utterly absurd that it pretty much undermines the entire position of the author.

[jesserocket]

Chick Tracts are HILARIOUS. They're a total credit to how 'in-touch' the Christian church is. Or at least, the Christian church who things those things are a great witness to people.

"I used the mind bondage spell on my father!"

..and I'm wearing BOOTS OF ESCAPING.

[Plum]

Seriously, read it!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I lol'd.

yeah, I've been writing a paper on the roots of misconceptions about pagans today, as well as homosexuals and abortion doctors- great stuff, shows that people today are just as stupid and sheepish as they were back in the Inquisition times, just the accusations are updated for a more modern era. I stumbled across this chick through this article:

long, but good reading, exposes this crazy chick for who she really is- a, um, crazy chick

[Sherry]

Ha.  I went to one D&D, I don't know "meeting", once cause some guys I new from work did it, and the one was pretty attractive and they said it was basically role playing...so I was thinking roleplaying + attractive male = good times and I couldn't have been more wrong, it was completely lame.  No offense to uh D&D players.  If my one experience was half as awesome as that girls, I would have considered doing it again in the future.

She had no clue her son was mentally disturbed? That's ridiculous. She's delusional and wants to pass on the blame for her son's death. She probably doesn't want to face the fact that she ignored the warning signs. I wonder if she'd go after Monopoly if he'd been playing that before he killed himself.  :roll:

[neriana]

I roleplayed once as a teenager, and it was totally lame because everyone else was a guy and they were either falling over themselves to accomodate what they thought I wanted, or ignoring me completely.

RPing with guys who have been laid in their lifetimes is WAY cooler. Especially with some girls there as well. It's very fun with the right people.

Does anyone remember that (tv) movie with Tom Hanks, from way back, where he was a college student who got so into D&D that he kinda lost it?  It was supposedly based on a true story.  Anyway, a little while before the movie came out, and I was a young'un (yeah, so I'm old) my father had bought me D&D, he thought I'd like it.  Not even two weeks later, the story hit the papers, and my dad promptly took the game, and threw it away.  Was afraid I'd lose it.
He was an atheist, after a few years of seminary school in his youth.
