 I've lurked around here for a while, but decided it was about time I posted this thing about me. Just so you know I am not a troll or something, even though.. it's plainly obvious I'm not. >_>;

Name: Kathleen, but I prefer Katt or Saku if you want to be Internet-polite
Age: Eighteen, turning nineteen soon. Don't let my age fool you.
Sex: Female.
Likes: Good debates, The Daily Show, comedy, video games, a good time
Dislikes: Idiots (And this world never leaves me short of that!), close-minded idiots (The worst kind) and ignorance itself. I was raised to embrace knowledge and with that mindset, I don't get along with people who aren't too bright >.o
List of good debate topics: Knowledge, Children, current world topics, how the internet affects people nowadays, blogging

I'm normally not very serious and can be seen as whacky at times. However in this community, I will be a little bit of both, I imagine. :) If I say something offensive, please take it to emails and PM's, as you may have misunderstood me :)

 Abortion stance?

I'm anti-abortion. I do not necessarily consider abortion murder, because I don't believe the fetus is fully alive during the time frame when most abortions take place, but it's still taking away a potential life.

Direct your answers here. Thanks.

 Okay, so I noticed we have a few people who probably havn't seen the user profile, because they are members, yet they did not fill out the very simple new user quiz. If you can't figure out how to get to the user info, then just click HERE. Please go there, read the rules, and post an entry containing the new user quiz thingy (with the topic that I specified!! LoL).

If you would like to be a member of this asylum, then please follow the rules about joining. I don't mind new people at all, but I like to know that they have all read the important rules, which are in the user info with the unimportant joining rules. This is the only way I can know.

Thanks,

 Are you a Creationist or an Evolutionist? Tell us why.

By the way, you do not have to be Christian to be a Creationist; if you just believe there is some higher power that started the life on this world, then you are a Creationist. If you believe we evolved from a steaming pile of primordial goop, then you are Evolutionist. Tell us about your opinion.
