as I was hoping there'd be some kind of juvenile "chemical reaction vs spiritual experience" debate going on.

Beat me to it .

Love is an emotion which makes us protect the ones we are probably going to have kids with. Protect the parents and the kid will do well.
 
Ugh. You all do know that the thread creator is laughing hysterically at all your posts right now because you started to take this thread semi-seriously, right? =/

Well, if you can't beat them...

Love = POKEMON.
 
Love isn't sex.
It isn't lust, it isn't gifts, money, pleasure, friends, or feelings.
It isn't happiness, either.

For me, love occurs when the need to put others better off than yourself, or just for the general good overcomes all else, all sense of self and spirit.

You can't force anyone to love, and it is incredibly hard to persuade anyone to love short of re-education camps.
Unfortunately for me, I haven't really experienced that yet (it's either the fact that my high school's population of girls has no need for anyone, or that I'm only 16).


Sabes que, I'm surprised that anyone would ask this on a Pokemon forum.
Something that many people consider nerdy (pshh, I even do every once in a while) would discuss love.

Well, if you want a real definition, or your own, you either gotta search it out, or go to the library and take out a few books.
 
A glove is also used in the formal challenging of another to a duel, by slapping the empty glove across one's face and sending it (the glove, not the face) to the ground.
 
people still talk here?
*sigh*

The definition of love is the subject of considerable debate, enduring speculation and thoughtful introspection. Some tackle the difficulty of finding a universal definition for love by classifying it into types, such as passionate love, romantic love, and committed love. However, some of these types of love can be generalized into the category of sexual attraction. In ordinary use, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself. Dictionaries tend to define love as deep affection or fondness. In colloquial use, according to polled opinion, the most favored definitions of love involve altruism, selflessness, friendship, union, family, and bonding or connecting with another.

The different aspects of love can be roughly illustrated by comparing their corollaries and opposites. As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more mutual and "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, although other connotations of love may be applied to close friendships as well.

The very existence of love is sometimes subject to debate. Some categorically reject the notion as false or meaningless. Others call it a recently-invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the Middle Ages. Others maintain that love really exists, and is not an abstraction, but is undefinable, being essentially spiritual or metaphysical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self-esteem" to another. Others attempt to define love by applying the definition to everyday life.

Cultural differences make any universal definition of love difficult to establish. Expressions of love may include the love for a soul or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, love for the respect of others, etc. Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive. Love is essentially an abstract concept, easier to experience than to explain. Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All you need is love".

DONE
NEXT THREAD!!!!
 
That better have been a copypasta... I can't imagine someone actually bothering to go through with the effort needed to write something like that for a joke thread like this.
