I agree, Claudius, it's a lot better now the label is changed to "terrorist".
Also, the life of crime and/or so called thuglife does appeal to certain groups, which is absolutely crooked. But I don't think this mentality has a chance in a healthy (equal opportunity) society. That is, I don't think ...

Although I agree with you, Xandax, that there is no golden solution to the crime and incarceration problem, however the rampantness of it is of such a scale in America that the comparison to Nazi Germany is not all that weird. (More so, ofcourse, because of Godwin's Law :p )

This acceptance of ...

Correctional facilities will work eventually

One day, Americans will understand.

OBEY!

A quote from a film is terrible. It just means you're not witty enough to makes something up yourself. If it was a humorous quote that other people might chuckle at then that's okay but otherwise it's pointless.
Signatures with jokes are pretty much always pointless. They are repetitive, because ...

.....Right, am I the only one who finds it strange that someone would post this kind of thread on a semi-professional game forum, and even stranger that two moderators would post in agreement with this?

Nope. The only thing that surprises me is that this site would be classified anywhere near ...

On the topic of the logic of religion, there are a few things. Firstly, I want to say that the bible has great inspirational potential, but sadly, just as Darwin's theory of Evolution that lead to the theory of Eugenics, it also opens to progressing certain questionable agendas.
And when the Day of ...

I heard McDonald's had done some extensive research into their colorscheme, to make people want to come in, buy food, eat it and get out fast. Turns out red and yellow were the colors to go for, being energetic, inviting and quickly annoying or otherwise urging you to move on, according to that ...

As I see it, it boils down to a question about what is worse: instinctive response violence or premeditated violence.

From the viewpoint of law, the latter is the worse kind of crime, although I'm not sure why people who go and kill people in a fit of rage are less dangerous to society than people ...

It seems mr. Kerry did want to respond to the points raised by this student and the police stepped in too soon and without reason. I think the kid deserved to hear his questioned answered. I don't much care about how much force they used and if it was too much or not. I think in the name of freedom ...

(Almost) in the words of Michael Corleone:
'If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can ridicule anyone.'

If we are making threads on random people, let's make one on Alan Eastwood, an Economic Advisor in the Chemical Industry of the UK.

It's not the ...

Iran was quite peace lovin' before the revolution by the radical Islamites. The previous president was pro-Israel and had good ties with America and the UK, who helped him to attain that position. However, he refused to give BP (British Petroleum) a monopoly in his country, (Or at least a ...

edit: does anyone here actually think military action against Iran would be a good idea? Can someone please defend this?
No, not yet. The 9/11 bandwagon has run out of fuel, it seems, so the terrorists will have to come up with a new strike to justify more war against them and the countries in the ...

Of course it's a matter of my opinion - just like your insistence that living in a motel is in no way dull is a matter of your opinion. :) Do the Davidsons excite you ?

You're putting words in his mouth for one.

And should the Davidsons live an exciting life? Why is the comparison important, at ...

A carrot.

Sublimely subtle in mysterious meaninglessness.

The only blanding down I see is the way people try and live up to cultural and societal expectations, in which the only absolute bliss is in living in a 3000sqf brick home overlooking either mountains or meadows, to be married, with a wedding which was just like everybody else also always dreamed of ...

War Companies and free market armies

Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran pending marketization. It made me think of the war machine as some sort of company that needs to conquer not only foreign countries but also hearts and wallets at home...

Obviously, Afghanistan, though marketed as a threat to ...

An excuse for this thread

Let's pretend the other link didn't happen..
Triumph vs Star Wars Geeks

Except for Syberis, fable and VonDondu, because for you guys the above link shows nothing new and you are therefor stuck with the easy nerdbashing that the guys of the christian-jock&denying ...

53 Day +1 Day (or Future Exploration Day)
- A day in which everyone pretends it's already tomorrow.
54 Different Day
- Same ****.
55 Just a Perfect Day
- I'm glad I spent it with you.

31 Mundane and Ordinary Day
- To, for once a year, realise what beautiful things our taken-for-granted world has to offer, in which citizens go about their routine day, but praise in awe everything that is not abnormal.
32 Abnormality Day
- A day in which all citizens must try their hardest to ...

Congrats, Arno_vee!

May you have a happy year, wearing your glasses as often as you like or more! :laugh:
