Anne. :c You are essential to #GlobalSquad and always will be, keep your head up!

Raflesia needs a demotion. We all know he is scamming OSBot and he deserves to be IPed immediately. #RafDemote2014

The only person who can tell you how much potential you have is you. You are able to do anything, and if you would like to get better at graphics, just put time into practicing it. ^_^

If the prompt explicitly states that the act committed was simply just "abandoning" a dog, my personal view is that the person who committed this "abhorrent" (at least that's how it's made out to be) moral fault should not be subject to sit in a jail cell for any amount of time. Then again, my views on the world (~society) are that every living being, no matter the scale, complexity, or intelligence it holds, are equal and should be treated as such. I find it quite hard to actually fight for the side of being in favor of jailing a man/woman. I see the view of, "we will jail you for hurting another being", but jailing essentially has the exact same negative effect as the dog was given, but rather from a mental standpoint. Imagine having to be confined to an area in which you had to know the ins-and-outs of acceptable interaction in order to just be able to survive and not get a shivvy (shank, knife) stuck in your kidney during yard time. Furthermore, this line of thinking can draw parallels with the Code of Hammurabi methodology of (opinionated) just punishment, Eye for an eye. I believe that if you show a person compassion, even if they are "morally corrupt" or "wrong" in your eyes, they will return the favor (being a compassionate action) to another living being at one point. Just think about the main issue at hand and the logistics behind it without an active perspective judging it in it's entirety. You don't want to punish the person, you simply want the animal to not have been abandoned & hurt (assuming it was). Thus, I think it would be in your best interests if you were to go from the standpoint of the contrasting side (to not jail). Maybe start out with the idea that 'whatever you give will come back to you', which is basically karma, but I generally avoid labeling it as such because of the eccentric word associations with it). Based on this principle, the world will 'balance itself out' through a negative outcome in the person who abondonded the dog. The interference of others not commonly involved in the conflict (ie - judicial system, placing person in jail for action) creates an even bigger displacement and seems to invariably increase the magnitude of the situation as well as perpetuate the cycle in which is functioning. An alternate argument (it may be a stretch to combine the aforementioned paragraph and this argument) you could use is that through the abandonment, the dog's mental & physical strength are better off. Moreover, you could infer that the dog has gained some sort of wisdom or aversement when it comes to attachments, which, depending on your thinking, can be a positive or negative thing. Another thing I suggest would be to pull quotes from that of past philosophers which deal with morality/ethics, some of my favorites in both Eastern and Western philosophy are as follows: "What one does not wish for oneself, one ought not to do to anyone else; what one recognizes as desirable for oneself, one ought to be willing to grant to others.” -The Golden Rule as doctored by Confucious, ~510BC "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law without contradiction." "Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end." -First and Second Formulations from Immanuel Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals I am extremely tired so I am going to sleep now, if you require any further guidance or references, send me a PM or wait to contact me until tomorrow. I hope I was able to help in one way or another. Namaste and Gassho, my brother. I am the poles apart from you on this statement. I am in no way trying to 'personally offend you' or 'assert my dominance' over you, so please do not take it that way. That being said, I will list my standpoint on the statement coupled with the evidence that lay behind it. All living beings must adapt to the "wild", which in it's quintessential view, is everything which surrounds us. Moreover, since everything in existence is in a constant state of non-permanence (change), if they couldn't adapt to abandonment (as a form of 'change'), then that must mean their extinction is nearing unless a change is made. We as human beings have domesticated dogs as 'pets', and it is the very thought of saying that you 'own another living being' is vastly foreign to my perception of ethics.

Naw mate, I was just using a different medium at the time. If I find my Gyazo account, I will have 1000 pics of you to post. ;p

I was running through my old files and came across a few pictures relating to OSBot from a number of months back, so I figured I'd dump them in this thread for those interested. Hopefully, it will invoke the feeling of nostalgia if you were around during this time as it does for me. Enjoy. Disclaimer/Preface: Some of the images contained below may not be appropriate for those under the age of a legal adult in said person's country of residence. I did not use active discretion when uploading these, rather it was moreso of me finding the folder and then uploading everything contained inside of it. Thus, if you are contained within one of the photos and you do not wish the photo to stay up, let me know and I will be more than happy to take it down as soon as time allots. If the picture has a description/caption, it is located above the image. I made switches between Subway and Animate (themes) often, so expect some vast contrast in the brightness of the pictures. The greatest words that Gh0st received from a staff member, ended up being his sig for about a month When Cory first got CBA (chatbox assistant), he tried to PM Ande and ended up kicking him because the location of the kick button is in the same place as the PM button The wrath of Occazn Josh's raps Lover's quarrels between Cata and Occazn When I was trying to convince Trust I was Benedict Cumberbatch Greatest moment of my life ;p Spoilered because of it's size, when MC stole my moment of glory like it was some coveted sweetroll Surprisingly, these are the only pictures that I have (that I know of). I recall having a lot more than this, but who knows - they may have been deleted or possibly misplaced. I hope that this thread brought back some good vibes, and if I find any more photos, I will be sure to update this thread.

Dear OSBot community, About 4 months ago, I stumbled across OSBot. I immediately created a Forum account (at the time my name was QBallYungLane) and entered the chat. In the chat, I found a place where I could bond with people and interact. I made a lot of close bonds very quickly, and formed a sort of family within the community. I would always help out anyone and everyone who needed it. Over the past 4 months, it has been an amazing experience. However, all good things must come to an end. I am dissatisfied from the lack of caring, time, and decision making put in from the developers. Their actions are inexcusable and can not be justified. The staff team, most importantly @Raflesia, has held the community together and has made OSBot what it is today. If Raflesia was not on the staff team, I would have left this bot months ago. He has been/is my mentor, precedent, and more importantly, my best friend. The amount of time that he puts into the bot just to see his hard work tampered with by developers (Maxi) is extremely unnerving. Raflesia is the anchor to OSBot. The community that I've worked with and bonded with is the best community I have ever had the chance to be with. I've showed nothing but benevolence to every single member of OSBot and got only love back. That is the sign of a mature community. It has been my pleasure to do everything in my power to see to it that OSBot is in tip-top shape. Lastly, the staff team that I have had the pleasure to work with has been the most amazing thing I have ever encountered. The chemistry within it, and the close interpersonal bonds in the team make it what it is. It has been my pleasure to work with all of you. The amount of people that I've became friends with is gigantic, and I am sure that I will miss a lot of people. So please, do not be offended if you aren't on the list. @Raflesia @Master Chief @Smart @Catastrophe @Mikasa @Boots @Anon Thanks for the great memories, @Sherlock
