About the only real medical benefits from it is that it relieves stress. However, the downside is that it increases your heart rate temporarily. You heart only beats a set number of times in a life time, so the more it beats, the shorter you live. I guess that's a downside; perhaps it depends on how the person views it...

It's really hard to go wrong with FFX. I think it ranks in the top three, and is my personal favorite

Maybe. If you did shoot him, shoot him DEAD. If he lives, then the lawyers can go on some "State of psychosis" spiel and make him look good. Dead men tell no tales.

Actually, a better idea is to give your gun to a pretty lady next to you. That way, there is no way that a jury could convict a poor, helpless woman.

Even better is to give it to a mom. All she has to say is she was protecting her kids from permanent psychological harm and she is off the hook.

Actually, just make a loud noise that causes him to point his gun at you and say you went into panic a pulled the trigger.

Or you can just shoot the guy and plead legal insanity

That may be true of federal law, but not necessarily state laws. I looked up my state penal code, read the part dealing specifically with immunity, and found that it was only justified if:

1. There was no way to escape and force was absolutely necessary. (retreat laws)

2. If someone tried to enter your place of residence forcefully (as I've already discussed)

Also, your site says specifically that it is NOT run by lawyers. I quote: "We are not lawyers at this site. However a few things are clear from the literature in this area"

This indicate that this is not voiced by lawyers and is also localized (isolated to whatever area they happen to be in). But that's not important.

So, after having read that, I'm not screwed. I understand my state penal code and know when lethal force is and is not legal. While federal justified homicide laws may be different, they only apply in federal jusrisdiction and cases; not state level. And unless it was a federal bank being robbed, or if they fled across state lines (something that would be difficult for them to do if you gunned them down in a bank lobby), it would be a state level offense; hence federal laws would not come into play. However, state laws change from state to state. Some states have more lax self defense laws than others. Mine, however does not. Basically, follow whatever legal self defense measures your state allows. Mine says run unless trapped with absolutely no way out. So, if there is somewhere you can run, that's what you do. So, I say again: you can't just kill someone because you feel threatened. Check your state penal code to see what it says you can do.

Most states have a 'retreat' law of some form. The states that do have a 'self defese' law, have such with many restrictions. Unless the bank robbery was under federal jurisdiction, the state laws are going to take president over any federal statute of justifiable homicide. For example: the 'Castle Law' in Texas. If someone tries to burglarize your home while you are in it (which would actually become a robbery), you are entitled to shoot and kill them. BUT, they cannot be shot in the back. They MUST be dead. The body MUST be in your place of residence when they fall to the ground (they cannot fall outside your house, then you drag them back inside). If these conditions are not met, you are the aggressor. If they live, they can press charges against you. If they are shot in the back, they are not seen as a threat, and once again, you are liable. If they are outside your home; again, they are not seen as a threat and you are responsible for shooting them. That is what I mean. You can't just kill someone because you feel threatened. There are certain conditions that apply to those laws. That's why I say: leave the crime fighting to the experts. They are better suited to handle it.

No. It would not be legal in the US. One does not break the law to prevent someone else from breaking the law without facing the charges of their offense. Two wrongs don't make a right, people. Let them take their money, then get picked up by the FBI two months later.

...except it isn't always breaking the law in that case. Anyway, there are robbers who will shoot people even after they comply with everything. I don't know if it happens at banks in particular so much, but it certainly happens.

Self defense laws regarding killing the aggressor only apply in your own home or property. Also, the person must be killed in self defense within your property boundaries. Also, the bullet fired cannot leave your property or you will face charges of a fire arms discharge in a public setting or possibly injure someone else across the street.

However, in a public domain, these laws do not apply. You cannot kill in self defense when in a public location or government building: and every bank falls under one of those two. Also, many banks prohibit concealed fire arms; something else you would be held accountable for. Of course, this is all based on US Federal and Texas state statutes. However, most bank robbers are idiots; not the brilliant hiest masterminds you see on television. Usually, the grab the money and run. In their haste, they fail to cover all bases; and some means of identification and tracking is found. Most (meaning a very large majority) are caught within the month of the robbery.

If she feels all anime is pornographic, then tell her Baroque period art is all pornographic. It's simply an art style. Sure, there are naked poeple in it. However, the statue David isn't modestly dressed, either. There is also a naked chick in the painting 'Bathsheba", so that must be pornographic as well. Just because some of it is risque, does not mean it is all erotic.

Ignorance fuels blind disdain and contempt. They do not understand it, so they see the worst in it and immediately dislike it. However, if they have already decided that it is a horrible thing, they will not be convinced otherwise. Sorry, but you are stuck with this problem until you are a legal adult.

I also just saw that there is Harvest Moon: Another Wondurful Life. Any thoughts on that.

Basically AWL as a girl with an increased difficulty level. There is also an AWL Special Edition on the PS2 with some extra stuff, an added bachelorette, and an increased difficulty level. However, it did not make the jump from the Cube to PS2 gracefully...
