jlowgren is just my first name initial and my last name. I use it for internet forums.

Also been known as Asphexus in EverQuest, Oh and Okay in World of Warcraft, Sabin (blatantly ripped off from the coolest character in Final Fantasy 3/6) in City of Heroes.

Excuse me Arcanine, May I understand that a rule is a kind of incentive? Never I have heard rules undesrtood that way.

A rule is an incentive only if there is some sort of punishment or reprimand if you break it.


I read an article not too long ago stating that it's not the laws of your country/state that stop criminals from committing crimes - it's the fear of getting caught in the act (assuming they're not too stoned not to know what the heck they're doing).

And no, I'm not calling people who turn threads into a rubble of decay with their flames criminals. Well, not entirely. Smiley
