Hence my prior statements, people telling them "You need to get help man. Talk to a doctor or something, but you're one sick fuck." And they start to believe it, even if they aren't.

GH, believe it or not, I did not intend that as a cheap shot.   And I didn't call anyone a sick fuck.

LISA: Guys, can you please stop using the "f" word?
Dunno what else to say here

Under a "suitably qualified" person you mean a psychologist, right?
Well, I don't believe that any kind of psychologist would understand LSL better than the members of this forum.

This is true. Some members of our forum understand what it's like to be in a situation such as LSL's, whereas someone "professionally trained" would perhaps view it as some kind of disorder, or mental illness, the fact that someone could love a cartoon character. But I loved Lisa for nine months, and am perfectly sane.

So you think that people who feel this way about Lisa are crazy?

I was kidding! Geez, take a chill pill. Why do you think the wink smilie was there? To INDICATE the joke. Perhaps you should at least learn what being on a forum is REALLY like, and not be taken so seriously.

That isnt what it's like there. If things get really out of hand like threats to kill people, comments that are so stupid that things get really annoying, and constant breaking of the rules, then bannings are issued. Not for agreeing with the majority.

I was merely saying what I WOULD'VE done.

Geez.

Well, I apologize for misunderstanding... but in a thread where such a heated discussion is taking place, jokes aren't just flying around and easy to spot (even with smilies).

Heh, actually discussion about 8-years old with minds of 25-years old kinda scared me and in such generalized version it's really bothering, but the lines I quoted explained things a little. From this point of view Lisa reminded me another fiction girl, and by strange coincindence, this girl was already mentioned on this forum in "Lisa's haircut and outfit" - Kirsten Dunst's heroine in “Interview with the Vampire” - vampire-girl Claudia, who was mentally grown-up, but doomed to live forever in child body. For fans Lisa probably the same - show close to 20 years old, but Lisa still a little girl, although she was born in 1984 by Simpsons chronology and could be young woman now.

And sometimes in romantic relations writers give her more mature attitide, too. I mean, she could act stupid and childish with boys she like, but it's kinda normal for people who in love , so it's hard to see, when she is perfectly childish, and when she is not so.

But still, when I'm personally talking about Lisa, I'm forgetting about "people who pulling the strings", Lisa is still a child for me and I can't imagine her in situation like that time when Laura Powers and Jimbo were going to make out - she is just not ready for all this and not needs it.

However, LSL posts make me think that he can understand that although physical age is not so objective, to recognize person's real mental age you must be very, very patient, unbiassed and spend a lot of time together. So, I don't think LSL would hurt someone really, Lisa seems to be for him unique object of passion, not a pattern for future relations.

I've listened to this "song" today What can I say - that's something really interesting, "I do like the Dark Clouds" sounded weird and impressive from 6-years-old after that crying and King Diamond's sentence.

Sometimes kids show incredible intellectual and creative abilities, indeed. But intellectual maturity and emotional maturity aren't the same thing Anyway, your example is very interesting!
