Vampirism

Ya I do believe you of what you say about vampires, but there are different types though and not all are as you say. I for example i'm an energy vampire, meaning I steal energy from anyone around me.

Ragnorok LOL well i thought it was rather ammusing that you said this was not a site for conspiracies when i personaly know of one thats happened right here. And so do others

This thread in particular happens to be about vampires. Vampirism is the name of the vampire's disease, not a term for conspiracy discussion.

By that post I meant that it's not the place for discussing conspiracy theories, regardless of what has taken place here. Actually, quite a few conspiracies take place in quite a few places and usually from both sides involved.

All I am saying here is that I think we should stick to the topic and if the topic has come to an end we should let the thread die.

If you guys are genuinely interested in conspiracy theories and the like, I invite you all to join AboveTopSecret.com

Though, be aware that any nonsense you try to pull won't be tolerated. It is a very open place, but it runs a tight ship. The people there know their stuff, and I'm not trying to plug for the site (though I suppose I am o_O ), but it is definitely a great place if you're serious about the conspiracy theory culture; either proving or disproving the theories.

And as Ragnorok suggested, let's stay on topic. Make another thread for the conspiracy theory debates, but let's keep this at least true to its title so anyone actually looking at the thread for answers has a chance of finding them. There are a lot of threads on this topic, so obviously there is enough interest to keep it on-topic.

And wherever possible, please cite your sources whatever your opinion on vampires is; definitions, proof against, proof for, subculture info, etc. I see a lot of asking for sources from people who haven't given any of their own. Just because an opinion is more generally acceptable doesn't mean it is the truth.

1st of all...
My respects to every one replying to this post! All opinions are to be respected!

2nd...
I'll believe that Vampires exist & are, were, etc... real when I see one!

& 3rd...
To every one on this site & any where for that matter.
If you go around sayig you are a Vampire just to escape the harsh reality of life & making storys up, I feel so very sorry for you!
But if there are "real" Vampires out there, only "you" know the truth...

i dont know but i think that vampirism is beautiful and normal and i just dislike the fact that movies portray the vampire as a disgusting blood drinking savage...vampires are surely no scientist and have always been hunted and slayed to learn what might be appropriate..in the spiritual world slash normal world..for example a male vampire can love. be hungry. tired. only the world as we know it surrounds...and we become acostumed to provide as we are capable under special circumstances...

just to point out one thing even though it was probably already pointed out. .....sanguine would be a correct term b/c


("The word "sanguine" from the Latin "sanguineus" for "blood" has long been used in English for things relating to the blood.")-
--found this on MedicineNet.com

According to Websters Online Dictionary:

"Sanguninarious" is not a word.

"Sanguinarian" is not a word.

And here's the hurtful part. "Sanguinary" is a word.
Definition of Sanguinary:
"1 : bloodthirsty, murderous
2 : attended by bloodshed : bloody
3 : consisting of blood "

So, by calling Blood Vampires with the word Sanguinarian or similar, they are being called bloodthirsty/murderous or bloodsheding or consisting of blood, none of which are, by common interpretation, true. Yes, they do crave blood and they do drink it, so perhaps they are literally bloodthirsty, however they are no bloodthirsty in the sense of the term which would imply they enjoy shedding blood and/or murdering people.

note: that i did not say

''Sanguninarious''
or

''Sanguinarian''

i said sanguine

''Sanguinary'' may be a word but i did not and will not associate it with real vampires because we all know that not all real vampires are cold hearted murderers. just like humans there are some bad and some good. but i wont put a label on all of them for what one may have done.

sanguine vampire is the correct term for a vampire that needs blood.

Ok, we'll focus on that particular form of the same word.

"1: bloodred
2a: consisting of or relating to blood
b: bloodthirsty, sanguinary
c of the complexion: ruddy
3: having blood as the predominating bodily humor; also: having the bodily conformation and temperament held characteristic of such predominance and marked by sturdiness, high color, and cheerfulness
4: confident, optimistic"

That is as an adjective. As a noun;

"a moderate to strong red"

By definition 2b of the adjective form, another word for vampires would be sanguinarian, implying that they are sanguinary. If "sanguin" were a proper term, "sanguinarian" would be considered such as well, even if not by you, because of the word "sanguinary" being so similar. Thus why it is called an improper term and any individual who took the time to look up what he/she were saying would know that.

Breaking all connection to the word sanguinarian, look at definitions 1, 2c, 3, and 4. None of those relate specifically to vampires, to my knowledge. The only possibly accurate definition of the word is 2a, and since Blood vampires do not consist of just blood we would have to say they relate to blood. Considering all this, don't you think it's simpler just to say "blood"?

Psi vampires are called "psi" vampires because they get their fix by using psi.

Blood vampires are called "blood" vampires because they get their fix by consuming(using) blood.

Specific definitions entirely set aside, this is now simply common sense.

Unfortunately, since vampires are not acknowledged as facts, but rather as a belief, there is no "officially correct" term. However, there are many terms that can be used and considered insulting, I refer to them as improper. Mosquito, leech, bloodsucker, undead(both insulting and inaccurate), immortal(due to inaccuracy) and sanguine/sanguinarian/sanguinarious are all among those terms.

Sadly, I probably won't be able to continue this discussion. I'll be logging in once more then it'll be two months(due to boot camp for the National Guard) before I have the chance to log in again and I'll most likely spend that two weeks with family. Then another four months for job training and after that I should be free to continue this discussion. When I log in that last time before leaving, it will only be to give my coven some idea of the timeline in which things will happen. I'm posting this for everyone's info, the information is not meant for anyone in particular.
