@crusader8 i KNOW i know u.but do you know me?
-
@crusader8 yeah.
-
@crusader8 A damn fine choice indeed. :)
-
@crusader8 Though, I prefer middle-era Metallica, I do actually like Load and ReLoad. After that, they kinda went too far off-base for me. But that's me. By the time they did St. Anger, I was getting into more power metal.

@crusader8 done :)
-
@crusader8 I haven't created tags for each ship, but I have tags for saucy and lightshipping. Interested in either of these?
-
@crusader8 will do!
-
@crusader8 I won't try to argue that. People are imperfect. My point that a face makes trusting someone easier still stands, though.
-
@crusader8 good point
-
@crusader8 But you can't associate a face with a phone call. To a paranoid parent concerned about their kid's safety, having a face to go with the trust can make all the difference.
-
@crusader8 Like I said, it doesn't automatically absolve all fears. But who would you rather trust; someone who lives far away and swears over the phone that they'll be nice, or someone local who promises in person? Plus, it's easily possible to meet someone in a (sufficiently) safe manner if you meet them at a McDonald's or something, which wouldn't necessarily require trust from either end.
-
@crusader8 that's about the most genius idea I've ever heard. Brb getting blue face paint.
-
@crusader8 But it's a matter of trustworthiness. Face-to-face communication establishes trust on a level that no other medium can provide; that you know this person; that, if they're hiding something, you can tell instantly; that this person cares enough to meet with you and talk things out. The internet and the phone trivialize all three of these points.
-
@crusader8 OK, so I'm gonna ask my mom if I can receive a package through her PO box. If she agrees, I'll just send you the number and stuff. if not, I'll go from there. Of course, I'm gonna have to find a way to actually remember to ask her...
-
@crusader8 To be honest, the distance factor only worsens this issue, since if it's a local thing they're going to you'd be able to meet the parents and talk with them first. Nobody on the internet can really be trusted with sensitive information until you've met them in real life to disprove those fears.
-
@crusader8 hmmm... then it seems I'll have to talk to them...
-
@crusader8 The thing is, it's easy for someone to promise to be good over the internet, but that doesn't mean they will. I'm not saying anything bad about you in particular, but parents have to be paranoid like that when their kids get involved, because god forbid something bad happens and they feel terrible for not stopping it.
-
@crusader8 There've been enough horror stories of things happening to kids who give their address to someone over the internet to make any parent nervous about their child considering doing it. @techdisk42 Get a PO box.
-
@crusader8 or we could do some trickery... you can make it look like you sent it to a random address, or something
-
@crusader8 hmmm... you see, they would be fine with that, but they don't like the idea of me giving out out address to people... ugh. Parental beurocracy.
-
@crusader8 that is right, but i did like the gameplay of the alien cards, And also, i never got a raigeky
-
@crusader8 raigeki was fobiden when i played
-
@crusader8 i liked a lot of the GX cards.
-
@crusader8 but this way he will lose so many cool cards!
-
@crusader8 I dunno. Should we? :p
-
@crusader8 Better than being branded a nerd and having no one talk to you cause no one understands you and cause you know nothing they'd like to talk about.
-
@crusader8 I'll trade my smart for singing any day. >_>
-
@crusader8 I don't memorize the technical term. Look at the tab name or whatever.
