• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Should humans control animal populations?

    1) Should humans be responsible for regulating animal populations? I'd really like to see someone regulating the human population. But by human standards it's morally wrong to tell humans to stop having sex and/or to get abortions because as humans naturally place themselves on a higher moral...

    Would you like to have children?

    Only to pass on my genetics. Change to no if cloning humans is legalised. Either I'm narcissistic or I love science so much I actually follow what it tells me to do?

    FF.net or AO3?

    If some people would say more than just a line "AO3 is better" it would be more helpful in understanding why it's more popular. As a reader; neither. I don't have the patience to sift through junk. Instead I take requests from friends or go on fanfic recs and check the ones which have been...

    MINECRAFT

    I still think that old Minecraft was better, like before the Sandstone update specifically. Maybe it's just nostalgia. MY HARD DRIVE DIED TAKING MY FIRST WORLD WITH IT UGH What I like about Minecraft the most is probably the terrain. I just like natural terrain.

    Do you check TCoDF more than regular social networking sites?

    I used to. Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked.

    What interests you most in a story?

    Emotions. Whatever makes me emotional tends to make me love the story. This means that it's usually characters. However, if something about the world makes me emotional, say, the history of Adam and Lilith for Neon Genesis Evangelion, the "intelligent animal" concept of Pokémon, or the sci-fi...

    Infractions Visible

    You're assuming the edit is to hide that they were infracted for the post. Okay, let me state this clearer. For instance, I was infracted for a post that may have caused people to feel uncomfortable. I edited that part out (with permission from the moderator that infracted me) in order to...

    Worldbuilding Discussion

    My (Pokémon) fanfic world's backstory is actually very relevant to the plot! As in, if I revealed it in the first chapter, it would be massive spoilers. Because the majority of the characters (Pokémon, again) don't care too much about history. And the backstory was still in the time where they...

    Capital punishment

    No, of course. But there are things such as wars which kill far more innocent people, and many governments don't try to avoid those either, so I wouldn't put it above them to make too much effort to prevent executing innocent people, other than for their reputation.

    Infractions Visible

    No, I mean, for instance, if a post offended someone and was infracted and was edited out, the actual thing that caused the infraction wouldn't be there. I'm not trying to question the integrity of the members, but infracted posts can be edited without malicious intent.

    Capital punishment

    I support capital punishment, though probably because my morals are what most of you would deem sociopathic. As in, I don't agree with the top human right being "the right to live", and in my view, people can deserve to die.

    Infractions Visible

    What if the post has been edited so that the infracted part is removed? Wouldn't this indication be inaccurate then?

    Ableist language

    If I'm misinterpreting things, it is my fault, although I don't really get how. (Maybe people could specify more on things such as what "the short end of the stick" means? Judging by your response, I don't think what I've said really responded to the actual meaning of that.) But may you please...

    Ableist language

    Actually, I try very hard for art, but I still am the worst. Probably because my school has this category which "grades" you for effort, so effort doesn't go into the actual grade... But I agree with you, you should put them in a different class to suit them better, if it doesn't "hinder"...

    I'm only the worst art student in the year because all the worse students don't take Art. English is mandatory, and there're some worse drawers in my Engilsh class... Anyway I don't think that was your point. I'm not trying to be unhelpful, but I really can't imagine a scenario like that...

    Ableist language

    If that's how you speak when you're angry you must be an amazing person because I actually felt happy reading that. Anyway, what you say is true, we don't know too much about psychology (especially of animals), we are not designed to function in a society with culture and stuff (I kind of...

    Haircuts - more attractive to attract potential mates, also less lice. Art - a way of earning money to live, and psychological satisfaction for the viewers. Skydiving - the curiosity of experimenting this is from the drive of curiosity to know things, because the knowledge of skydiving might...

    Ableist language

    This is correct. However, it is productive and beneficial to the persons who are measuring intelligence (otherwise they just wouldn't do it), and I know this is just plain unfair but sometimes intelligence actually does matter more than interest effort. Arguments don't need qualifications. And...

    Ableist language

    Somewhere it has been said that "you as an able-bodied person have no idea how the disabled feel" and there is a strong implication that I don't have the right to argue about this topic. You know, since this isn't a legal argument or anything, I'm not going to check things up, but I'm pretty...

    Ableist language

    Yes. But well, I have to be proved to be egotistical for it to end, because I like comparing my personal situations with bigger situations! Yet people just grasp on errors in the small situation and ignore the logic part of my argument on the big situation! Yes, I am egotistical. Wait, is that a...
