Yeah, about that.......

What it proves is that you're a bigger cretin than I had anticipated. Go put on the dunce hat and sit in the corner. Even I, a decisive asshole/atheist with nothing better to do than taunt less fortunate people on an internet forum does not, I repeat not, insult religion. You cannot "prove" that God does not exist, nor can anyone else. Believe what you want to, but don't make ludicrous claims like that. Religion is a sacred thing to many people, and deserves respect, even from people who can't understand it. *I had to shorten that so it would make sense.

Its the love child of George Walker Bush and a drunken Shakespearian Pirate..... I'm a professional killer from the underworld, and I don't keep track of how much I earn because keeping money in the bank sucks. I just know my pile of blood money is bigger than your pile of blood money.

If you're talking about average intelligence, perhaps. If you're talking about GDP, Per Capita Income, Military strength, scientific accomplishments, et cetera, then no. The only thing I can think of which the Brits are ahead in is employment percentages, and by a very small amount. Of course they are also have a much higher percentage of impoverished people. The sad thing is that the USA is degrading into a police state with fewer freedoms and a government controlled media, much like Britain. But yes, he does have a decent vocabulary for a 14 year old, even if its his only language.

Tell me more about this strange "Alcohal"..... I harvested bufotenin from Colorado River Toads, but have never used it or any other abusive substance.

Twenty-One. Havok is nothing more than James' alter ego until proven otherwise.

Chances are his brother will win the lottery, and inadvertently cure cancer somehow. He will also capture Osama Bin Laden, and achieve enlightenment. Havok on the other hand; will be struck by lightning multiple times on his way to enlist, leaving him with less than average intelligence and no control whatsoever over his bowel movements.

Way to opt for something completely void of any nutritional value. People on the other hand.......

I wasn't trying to be a dick or belittle you, I was just surprised since your grammar is usually immaculate. I didn't care for Willy much either, with Macbeth as the one exception.

Switzerland.

I didn't mean that as some sort of rude remark about the mentality over there, goodness no. I was born and raised in the southern USA myself. I can only be so much of a hypocrite you know.

Well I ended up purchasing this little gem, and I want my money back. All of it. Then I want to be compensated for the time I invested into it.

Unless someone breaks it. Shalt is incorrect, it should be shall.

The guy's voice wasn't all that hilarious, but the host's inability to contain his inappropriate laughter sure as hell was. In the USA they would have bumped his show up to a prime time slot and supplied him with ample disabled people to make fun of.

Quasi korregiert, und ganz falsch war es in prinzip nicht. Ich hilfe gerne menschen das Deutsch lernen wollte, aber ich bin selber noch nicht 100% kompetent mit dieser sprache. Meiner frage ist einfach wie ein Litauer kann englisch so deutlich schreiben.

Yes it was indeed German. "Boy eats the spiciest pepper in the world"

Someone introduce James to Google, please.

Its not out here yet, but I had a friend mail me a copy from the US. Hopefully it gets here soon. Anyone else looking forward to playing this game?

Why even bother forming individualistic opinions if you're too concerned over what other people might think to be open about them? It may be nice to be liked, but not if you're only conforming to what you think other people want. Its better to be true to yourself and possibly have a few people dislike you rather than live a lie. Hopefully you will give us something a little more in-depth, I am genuinely curious to know what your opinions on it are. Thats extremely vague, but I'll assume your loosely referring to overpopulation to some extent.

You don't have to experience something first hand to understand how it works, and I don't remember a single male here making such an assumption. It varies from person to person depending on the degree of selfishness or moral fortitude, but I actually know a woman who was raped, and then suffered through the 9 months of pain and agony, and raised the child single handedly. It just comes down to what kind of person you are, but abortion is always murder, plain and simple. Some have the willpower to do whats right, others are too weak or self centered. I can see certain exceptions where it may have to be done, but rape isn't one of them. Like Litkey said, the child is completely innocent. How many women per year endure childbirth, in many instances without painkillers and modern medical comforts?

Thanks for unlocking this, I was just highly entranced with the flow of ideas coming through from the myriad of people, many from different cultures and experiences than I know personally. My goal wasn't to try to argue with anyone, but to compare and exchange ideas without discrediting or insulting anyone else (although I did). If I unintentionally insulted anyone, I am deeply sorry (unless it was intentional). I've seen far more intricate and well thought out theories and solutions here, and to be honest, a higher level of intelligence than I thought possible on a forum for a Zombie Mod CS server. Go figure. I think I've contributed all I can to this without repeating myself, so I'll just sit this one out and read the new posts (unless of course, something jumps out at me). Thanks to everyone who entered the topic, and especially to Red, who was kind enough to move this off topic discussion from an inappropriate place to a real thread, and eventually unlock it so ideas could continue to be shared.

I was partially kidding with my little list there, the rubbing alcohol reference was meant as an offhanded remark simply because its a very serious topic, for me anyway. Though now, I regret doing so with the new turn this has taken. I hadn't considered the ultra rare cases like rape and dangerous genetic conditions, but my overall view remains the same on the topic. Yes, there are times when it is slightly more acceptable. I can hopefully be as delicate as possible with this, avoid sounding calloused or arrogant, and still get my honest opinions across. If the child were to die regardless, or the percent chance of him not surviving birth were very high, it would make rational sense to try to save one life rather than run the risk of losing two lives. But then again, if someone who will die within a short amount of time is killed, is it still murder? If someone with a terminal illness is murdered, does it still count? The only viable reason for murder is to save an innocent life. It may be murder, but it also prevents life from being taken. I wouldn't handle the situation any differently, nor have I been unlucky enough to experience something of that nature. I'm not religious, so I can't say any prayers for you, but I will keep you and your loved ones in my thoughts in hopes of a positive outcome for you.

Well, long story short, the gun thread got locked unfortunately, so I felt it would be necessary to keep the fire going so to speak (but being diplomatic as always, I'll write about a new topic rather than continue the one the Admin locked for whatever reason). So, in a nutshell, my views on abortion are this: -Any kind of abortion is murder. -Anyone who has had an abortion should be executed. - Any "doctor" who performs, or nurses who aid in performing abortions should be executed slow and painfully. - Anyone who approves of abortion should be sterilized and beaten like a baby seal with a baseball bat full of nails, then dipped in a vat of holy water (rubbing alcohol). The fact that abortion is murder is, in my view, so painfully obvious that trying to argue otherwise is like claiming the sky some alternate color rather than blue (I regret using that analogy because I know someone will have the uncontrollable urge to jot down some patronizing remark about what and why the sky is in scientific detail, but save space in your post, because I'm well aware already. I simply needed to summarize the strength of my opinion on that in terms everyone was more likely to comprehend, so I opted for a very simplistic approach.) Many people try to circumvent the idea of abortion being murder by making the utterly nonsensical claim that before a certain stage of growth, it is technically not a human, and has no rights. The important thing is: that fertilized egg would have grown into a fetus, and eventually a person. By killing the embryo, you are killing the person it would have become, and the eventual offspring they would have possibly produced. The only real problem with that logic is, that by the same reasoning, any type of birth control is murder, since it is possible the woman would have been impregnated and borne a child. Does the existence of that possibility and its prevention dictate murder? For me that is more of a gray area, especially since I have protected sex regularly. So my definition is more of once the egg is fertilized, it counts as murder. I look forward to the opinions and viewpoints the rest of you have on this issue, however, lets try to keep it as a civil exchange of ideas. If you disagree with someone else, thats fine, but it isn't always necessary to try and convert that person to your beliefs. If you absolutely have to, it is infinitely more polite to attack the idea rather than the person. Since I have no authority, this is merely a humble request, which you may ignore completely if you prefer.

Well you're all avoiding the core issue there, which is WHY he did it. The Columbine kids and this guy were obvious social outcasts, but does being socially inept lead one to carry out mass murder? For being different these people were persecuted by other people to an extent that drove them right off the edge. Instead of applying a scapegoat ideology to the gunmen of these schools, do the harder thing and try to realize what malfunction within the social pecking order causes such hatred to develop and cause severe damage. The guy often spoke about committing the deed far prior to its actual occurrence, but simply because he was deemed an unimportant loser, he wasn't taken seriously. The guns are simply an easily obtainable weapon that have little to do with the actual motive, however, had the laws been stricter and Cho hadn't obtained guns so easily, I highly doubt he would have gone on his little rampage. More guns means a higher percentage of shootings, period. If another student had a gun, and shot Cho, its still murder. Applying the "fight fire with fire" analogy to gun control is not only counter-productive toward creating a safer environment, its just plain irrational, unless of course, propagating violence and mass paranoia is the goal intended. Looser gun laws also means more people capable of murder, like Cho, will have an easier path to bloodshed. A person without a gun is not likely to shoot anyone else, so I'm missing the logic by increasing the attainability thereof. The best and only solution would simply be to develop stricter gun laws with much harsher enforcement, and slowly remove them from circulating withing the country, stop all manufacturing of them, and ban any and all domestic ownership/usage. Unfortunately, that will never happen, the paranoid consumerist driven society of the USA and elsewhere are addicted to guns, to the point that there is no real solution for it anymore, removing the firearms industry would be impossible, much less the psychological dependency a regrettable majority of people have developed. So yes, let everyone own a firearm, and maybe the problem with take care of itself. Just remember how peaceful the lawless pioneering west USA was in its early days of growth, and with the advance in weapons technology we have now, I'm willing to wager the environment would surpass even the pacifistic serenity of former periods when everyone was entitled to carry a firearm.

The problem is misinformation. Most so called "conspiracy theorists" do not take the time to verify the accuracy of all of the information present in their usually off the wall ludicrous assertions. Whether this is simply due to apathy or a desperate need to believe something horrific is going on behind the scenes, its shameful and discredits far too many viable scientific fields and general beliefs. The supposed awareness of some grim secret many people can't or don't believe empowers the believer with some bizarre sense of purpose that aids in manifesting a delusional escape from the dull tedium of an otherwise boring unhappy life. It makes sense that so many of these cretins exist. Hank, just to be clear, I'm not calling you a conspiracy nut, but you have to realize that little video is about 90% bullshit. What sounds good or exciting is not always the truth, and the internet is rarely a good place to get accurate information at any plausible success rate. Besides that, Red is absolutely correct. Aside from not possessing the evil magic powers and alien weapons of the Illuminati, you don't even pack basic firearms? You're absolutely screwed when they descend from the heavens in the mother ship my friend.
