Could a Facist Democracy work?
I've never defined the Soviet Union as communism. That was slightly collectivized fascism. And fascism can be democratic. It's all up to whoever is in charge. If the elite decides to let people express themselves and listen to them, that is democracy in fascism. The hammer and sickle symbols industry and agriculture in a union, just like the swastika is supposed to bring good luck. Feel free to use it, but I am afraid you will have a lot of explaining to do. :|

What do you look for in a boy/girl?
The most important quality I look for in a girl is the ability to connect somehow. Mostly through talking. I once surprised myself when I realised how unimportant looks are. Well, I am so shallow that I can't get involved with a repealing girl, but if she's very attractive, that's just a plus.

Could a Facist Democracy work?
Fascism and democracy could work. There could be a police/military state with an elite on the top that actually takes input from the people. Communism is democracy. PS: Communism rulez!!!@@@!!! PPS: Stalin r nub.

Is this considered racism?
Go down and tell them that! :lol:

An unanswerable question
This just goes back to the definition of existence. Is time something controlling the chain of events, or is the chain itself?

[Please Lock] I ate a piece of glass....
Well, why would anyone do anything? A lot of people would rather eat a piece of glass than visit TIF. Wongtong just happens to be lucky enough to have the glass and eat it too.

An unanswerable question
Is time relative or constant? That is the question. It is said that time is relative to gravity.Things move faster when there is little gravity, and slower when there is much gravity. This means that if you spend ten years (relative to Tellus time) in a place with infinite gravity, and then come back you wouldn't have aged at all, because there were no time there to age you. They have tested this with atomic clocks at the bottom and on the top of Empire State Building, and found out that time goes a little faster on the top, when you define time as atomic activity. So according to this theory, time is relative and does therefore not exist.

Is this considered racism?
To go further in this discussion, I think we need to go back to the definition of the word "racism". It is a word combined by the words "race" meaning sub-specie, and the word "-ism", meaning ideology. So racism is "an ideology acknowledging sub-species". I think Wikipedia is about right here. The term is mostly used with "acknowledging sub-species and treating other sub-species in a negative way". This leads to thinking that something is not racism if it's not "wrong". Having an opinion about what is attractive is something you can't do anything about, and it's not wrong, even if it's racism. Whether the subject itself is racism depends on how the opinion is based, but it's not wrong. I would recommend this song called "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist": xbwNSNLPIfw Those people are confusing expressions. That's nationalism, not racism. They also seem to confuse the different types of nationalism. There is the Paris Commune kind (patriotism, love for one's nation) and the Nazi-Germany kind (a type of fascism that is about deciding who should live in a country). Often people use patriotism with fascism, but you can have patriotism without fascism.

13yr old sent home for dressing as jesus
No, his costume is based upon wild guessing. If someone would dress up in that costume and say they were a Roman proletarian, it would be okay. If someone would put on a bananahammock and a mudkip on their head and claiming to be Jesus, it might not be so well received. Let's jump to the conclusion of saying that claiming to be Jesus is the wrong part here.

What's the most important lesson you have ever learnt?
"There is no shame in taking the bus. Especially if it is about to rain like hell when you're biking the 10 km back home!" ... Who am I kidding? That is a great lesson, but I didn't learn it, and I probably never will. :lol: And a few great lessons someone I know learnt: 1. In a funeral, turn off your cellphone. 2. In a funeral, do not fall asleep. 3. In a funeral, if your cellphone wakes you up, do not yell "WHAT THE [bleep]?!"

The common courtesy of hopping.
That is all there is to it. Problem solved. I seldom hop, because people always tell me to hop in a rude way. When they do that, I just stay to bother them. :lol:

Freedom of Speech
Freedom is more complicated than just saying whatever the hell you want. Yes, I was going to say that... Freedom of speach doesn't work without respect. We will just have to realise that complete freedom will never exist. We must ensure a restricted level of freedom for everyone. If we give everyone complete freedom, someone will use that complete freedom to take other's freedom. There is an extremely fine line between anarchy and fascism.

"Baby Killer" given life sentence
When someone does something like this, it's obvious that he has an extreme mental disorder. There is without any doubt a deeper story behind this. In a better society, he would get help, and it wouldn't affect harmless babies in such a horrible way.

Safing? Really noobish or just a tactic?
Safing is not a tactic. Saying "safer" is a tactic. There is no such thing as safing (At least not in P2P), there's AGS, darkbow, dragon bolts, ice blitz, vengence et cetera. People can easily die with over 80 HP. By saying "safer", people intend to hurt their opponent, and try to make them stop eating, so they will be easier to kill. Nothing more to it.

Jagex Attempting to Stop Monopolies?
Player A farms ranarr weeds, gets sand and sea weed to make glass for the vials, fill them and add the ranarr and snapegrass he/she collected at Waterbirth Island. Player A is humble, and sells the prayer potions for 5,369 gp. Player B buys the prayer potions for 5,369 gp, and sells them again for 5,933 gp. Player C has mined runite ore to get money, and now feels like going to aberrant spectres. He/she is also humble, and buys prayer potions for 5,933 gp. The scenario shows how those who actually worked for the resources get scammed by the merchants. The merchants are doing no work, yet they take resources from the honest players. Merchanting is stealing, and JaGEx is at least trying to put an end to this. Keep going! :thumbsup:

Teleporting Cure-All
Well, I find teleporting extremely annoying when someone does it in a fight. Nevertheless, I never whine about it, and I teleport myself if I can. This is because teleport is natural a part of the game. This is a suggestion about it not being a part of the game like it always have. I actually think it is a bloody good idea, although I think the time should be reduced to 3 seconds for unskulled and 5 seconds for skulled. Teleporting would still be an option, but it wouldn't be a simple escape you can do as a last resort. It is a last chance for the teleporter to get away, while it is a last chance for the opponent to kill the teleporter. I believe this would make the PvP servers a whole lot more interesting for everyone. And for the skillers, there is a reason why the skilling areas are so good, and that is because you take a risk when using them.

Why eat/pray at all? (Honest Question)
As stated before in this thread: We don't trust each other enough to stop eating/praying, and the longer we fight, more fun it is. 184.

This thread is so full of normal people. :lol: Disorder Rating Paranoid: Low Schizoid: High Schizotypal: Very High Antisocial: Low Borderline: Moderate Histrionic: High Narcissistic: Moderate Avoidant: High Dependent: Very High Obsessive-Compulsive: High It lies, though. I am far more messed up that this.

Ironic
What doesn't kill you... In this case, RWT has not become any stronger, but it's still there. If someone really wants to RWT, they can do it. Overall, I think it damaged the game more than benefiting it, though. Jagex can be sued by creditcard companies? I don't say that this is wrong, as I know very little about laws regarding this, but how can this happen? If anything, Jagex should be suing the creditcard companies for allowing people to buy Jagex's pixels. And about irony in this topic, I have something more ironic: RWT'ers that whined then the Duel Arena and the Wilderness were removed. Some friends of mine (not giving out any names) were great in the RWT business, and got upset when Jagex made their changes. :P

100% f2p - an achievement?
It is harder to get a certain level in F2P, which makes it a greater achievement. Bragging about it is something else; I am personally against bragging no matter how hard it was to get 70 woodcutting. We should perhaps take into consideration that when you have level 30 in a skill, it's easier to get level 48 than getting level 30 in a new skill.

Un-Reliable Wikipedia?
Well, it you're just critical to the content, Wikipedia is just fine. I see errors in Wikipedia just as often as I see errors in other media (relative to how much I use the different types of media, of course). Most of my teachers disapprove Wikipedia, while some say that the quality control is so good that it's a quite reliable source. I was arguing with my friend of whether pepper is a fruit or a vegetable. Wikipedia agreed with me. A minute later, my friend told me to refresh the page, which now said nothing more than "IT R VEGETABLE LOLS". I doubt how serious Conservapedia is, when they scare people away with an image of Sarah Palin on the front page. :ohnoes:
