You could feel okay, about it, I guess. I do.

I've actually never seen Titanic either. I didn't have a girlfriend at the time, so my friends who got dragged to see it (many times) and said that there WERE manly parts (apparently some dude and a propeller), I just laughed in thier faces.

After I eventually had a girlfriend again, she wanted me to see it, and I refused. I see it as girly emotion-porn. It's the story about a woman who feels so out of place, and the man who isn't her type, but makes her feel loved, and helps her see the world in a completely new way. *shudder*

Girly emotion-porn. It's about the feelings.

What? I didn't say that I had seen it, only that you needed to admit it made you cry.

You can smite me- I've got extra karma.

Bring it on, kemosabe. I got a lot of extra karma, and I'm not doing anything with it.

Alright think of Titanic as an ancient Shadowrun movie.  Basically Jack could be a runner who just didn't make it.  He was tryin to steal the diamond, and he got to slap some skins in the process.  He just didn't make it all the way to cash out.  Okay wait, no that movie is nothing like shadowrun, what am I thinking.  Tryin to phylisophical or somedrek...alright I'm done with this.

See, this is when I wish we still had the Positive and Negative collumns. I miss seeing all my negative karma. :::sniffle:::

LOL, thanks, but I like it to be on display. Although I know I'm not the king of it anymore.

Speaking of Karma can I get mine transfered from my other name I don't use anymore?! Or is it lost in the metaplanes forever?!

Like that. Once you reach a certain amount of posts, 500 I think, you are granted the power to give and take Karma from other members. It's really nothing more than a way to reward or punish someone for posts they have posted in the past and things they have done. For instance, if someone makes a very good point in a discussion thread, I might give them a point of Karma for it. On the other hand, if someone gets torqued off that Ruski is making "Gabriel's Mother" jokes again, I might take a point away.

When this system first started, we had two columns, one for positive karma and one for negative karma. It was possible to have say 25 points of negative karma and 10 points of positive karma, thus giving you an overall score of -15 karma. Now it is just the one column which can still be negative. Ingo Monk (our sysop) can post the actual historical karma log for your profile (say +35, -82) but only does it upon request.

For quite a while I was the Negative Karma King. But, alas, no more. I did, however, have the destinction of being the MOST karmic person on the board for a bit. It's nice to know you can make an impact. ;)
