SUICIDE AS AN ART FORM
Rellik San
Actually I have to ask, in the question about being disgusted at a crucifix... are you intentionally singling out Judeo Christian belief or do you actually truly believe the crucifix to be the all encompassing sign of religion across the world?

Either way its incredibly small minded.


Or, has the topic-starter confused the cross with the crucifix? That happens often.

I like crucifixes, they're quite artistic. They're why I like visiting people who have devout Catholic families--crucifixes everywhere. One house had a crucifix over every light-switch, it was marvelous.


Which is why I made my post about admiring the artistry of them.


I agree! Crucifixes are lovely! They can be quite beautiful, indeed.

Favorite goth films: I don't really watch 'gothy' films persay... I think that the only 'gothy' film I've seen over the past few years was Pan's Labryinth. It was decent, I suppose...
Favorite bands: The Cruxshadows, Ayria, The Dresden Dolls, Dark Sanctuary, Autumn Tears, Black Tape For a Blue Girl, and others...
Favorite books: Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov), The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus (Christopher Marlowe)
Favorite jewelry/accessories: Ornate antique jewellery, preferably silver.
Describe your wardrobe: Romantigoth, though on my 'off days' I look like an art student, sporting black t-shirts or camis, darkly coloured bohemiean skirts, and combat boots. Sometimes I'll do a punky thing as well, and on rare occassions I'll wear Lolita. I suppose that my wardrobe is just all over the place...
Decorations you have around your room/house: Tons of antique books, prints of preraphealite paintings in ornate gold frames, gargoyles, dragons, silver chalices, tea cups, tea services, little odds and ends from artist friends, my travels, and Goodwill...
OGTs (Obviously Goth Traits): I don't fit the 'gloomy goth' sterotypes, but my mannerisms and 'old fashioned charm' seems to sit well with the whole RomantiGoth thing. But, mentioning 'gloomy goth', maybe the fact that I enjoy the extreme serenity of being deeply depressed is somthing which I truly enjoy could be counted as one of these OGT thingies?
Offbeat things you did as a child: Used various toys as voodoo dolls, bit my big brother, pretended I was an alien who was stranded on earth, and having an obsession with historical fashion.
What’s the biggest misconception others have about you? A lot of people think that I'm super-abnormal in a bad way. But once they get to know me they usually realize that despite my strange mannerisms and less-than-normal hobbies and obsessions, I'm a pretty decent person.
If you could alter your body in some way, what would you do? Make my cleavage prettier.
Do you…
Wear black nail polish: Sometimes
Wear black makeup: Rarely... when I do, it's only mascara.
Own any pets: Two kitties, and a mistress.
Have any interest in forensics? Negative.
Have you ever…
Looked at a crucifix in disgust? Yeah. Why would anyone want a statue of a dying man hanging on their walls?
Hung out in a cemetery after nightfall? Yeah.
Felt like hissing at immature squares? Maybe when I was younger, but not recently...

Personally, I say its a good idea to a degree, just add in a soylent green twist.

Over crowded prisons... well why not kill the serious offenders, move the minor offenders to another institute, convert the prisons into a hostel for the homeless and feed the dead prisoners to the homeless. smile

So thats homelessness, Starvatioon and over crowding of prisons with one stone. smile

I myself like the "Escape from New York" method. Put all of the criminals into one massive, inescapable city. Let 'em fend for themselves.

...then send in Snake Plisskin.
