Relocation
The site [NCUK] has been relatively dead apart from our campaign for Save The Children's work in East Africa because in less than a couple of weeks I'm relocating to Plymouth to live with my girlfriend. I try not to mention her [on other sites] because there have been times in which I've been attacked for my beliefs and the kind of people inclined to attack others, purely because of their opinions, are the kind of people inclined to attack the loved one of those with opinions they disagree with.
The good news about relocating is it will be a lot easier and better for me to work. There will be little to no risk of distraction or interruption from family members and, for the youtube channels, there will be an amazing advance in quality and quantity thanks to fibre optic internet being available where I'm moving to.
I've probably complained about it before but my stepfather doesn't understand that he pays for BT internet up to 8MB broadband and only gets about 2MBup/0.2MBup when we have Sky TV which means we can get 16MB broadband entirely free! Why the hell would you pay for a shittier service when you can get a better service for free?!
Anyway, I disgress as I frequently tend to.
The next few weeks will be mostly blogs posts [on here and on NCUK] I think, if anything. Thanks to those who visit the site [NCUK for supporting me; this site for being awesome and giving me interesting things to read] regularly, if there's anything you can suggest to make it better and encourage you to think it worthy of sharing with your friends let me know in the comments.
I wouldn't continue with this project, this project that I hope to become my life's work, my positive impact on the world for everyone, if it wasn't for knowing that people read and come back to the site.
Thanks again,

Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Absolutely, I completely agree. The only way to solve the problem is to eliminate the cause.
Exactly, the shooter gains worldwide fame over night. Why would a resentful, friendless, lonely, insane young man who wanted to leave an impression on the…"
Aya replied to Aya's discussion The ethical implications of "Temporal Isolation""From the last three lines of your post, I'm assuming you are applying the "better safe than sorry" mentality to life-rights over all of time. This addresses points 3) and 5) of my post on Wed 5/15, but does not address points 1),…"

Anthony D replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."An issue in the context of your reply is the so-called "mad/bad debate". And it very much plays into the perception of these rather extreme forms of criminal behavior.

Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Interesting. I think that just being aware that our behavior is not always justified and taking on some personal responsibility can go a long way."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Maybe I take empathy and attempting to understand such actions by people to the extreme, but I think it is important to understand the causes of such behavior. You do bring up a good point about school shootings Nathaniel, in that the media makes…"
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."I agree with the principle to an extent. However, in the case of school shooters, I don't think it can be justified. Same with rape. There's definitely a line, but like you said, those are the most extreme cases.
