Why is sex* bad?
Unless she was raped, I'll keep laughing. I bet a lot of TIFers here would be surprised at the age some people have sex regularly. Not trying to say we're nerds or anything though. :?

Too fat to adopt-A new species of faceplants
I think a lot of people are skipping over this: I can understand that it's in the child's best interest to have a healthy parent but if you want to play that game it can go on and on. What about people with cancer or diseases? Does their physical state overrule what they are capable on an emotional level with the child? I'd much rather see a kid with a kind loving lard than a skinny crackhead.

Is God real post your thoughts!
That was not a fallacy at all. I'm just saying there is no evidence for or against God, which means for all we know atheists are no more liable than theists in this situation. The 50/50 is not an absolute truth, it's just all we have to work with. Honestly, I don't even know what you guys are arguing about... Are you saying that atheists are more likely to be correct than theists or vice versa? You're being too anal about how I brought up probabilities. And for some reason this only seems to bother the atheists... Hmmm... :-k I've always thought it was ridiculous that we require proof to prove something that's proven unprovable. I hate trying to talk about any god in specific in my arguments (especially the Christian one), but doesn't the Bible say that God cannot be proven or disproven? Why do atheists insist on seeing proof for it? Now that is what I call a logical fallacy. Asking for something which everyone knows is not there. By the way, we're talking about something existing. Like Sly said long ago on this thread, something can exist without it being proven.

Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
Actually I did let the dude touch my hair and I was buddies with the other guy. It still made me feel uncomfortable though.

Chef Boyardee Raviolis cooked on the stove. Much better than microwaving. :D

My paragraph has no connection with your statement about agnosticism not being a 50/50? Oh and I know very well that agnosticism implies no knowledge of the subject, hence the extremely fair fence-sit. I don't think you're getting my point. I know that we have no knowledge of God. I know that we can't come up with an exact or even a remotely close percentage. But based off what we know, which is nothing, I think it's fair to assume theists can be just as right as atheists are. Perhaps I was wrong to bring up the term 'probabilities', but my point is that atheism is making an assumption based off of absolutely nothing just like theism is. This is why I brought up the 50/50. It's the most accurate answer, from what we know (nothing). I foresee someone flinging the burden of proof now... So in advance: God =/= Fairies (God is more of a universal concept. Fairies are something that we know we formulated just out of our own imaginations.)

That doesn't make sense. If there are two possible outcomes (God exists, God doesn't exist), and you have no evidence for either side (no proof for or against him) then wouldn't the standard probability already be at 50/50 from what we can tell? I don't see how 100/2 can equal anything else. I look at it the same as asking someone out. They can either say yes or no, so the most accurate probability would be 50/50. Of course there are factors that should contribute to the probability (your attractiveness, deliverance, personalities clicking) but from what you know, there's no way to tell how those factors would effect the probability. It just seems like 50/50 is the most logical answer out of any other set of probabilities from what we know (we know nothing therefore we don't have any factors to alter that 50/50).

With an attitude like that, you're right.

Total levels overrated?
It's the most tangible form of elitism we have in RS. Sure, there might be some cases when someone who worked harder on their skills has a lower total, but generally speaking those with higher totals worked on their character more. It's better than ranking by combat or total XP in my opinion. It also shows that you train diversely (if that's even a word :lol: ).

Bad word choice by Jagex?
Why oh why did Jagex use such a queer word choice? :-k On a serious note, I don't see how it's anymore offensive than the word "duck". Niggle has two letters different - duck only has one.

A Year of Summoning: A year in review.
It's one of my favorite skills because of how useful it is. The extra healing and inventory slots makes it very compatible with both combat and skilling.

Don't act like how you're acting on these forums in the first place?

Life is short, my friends.
Find me a source for this, I don't see any logical link between both entities. Umm just the fact that you smell pot a lot in concerts? I don't have any links and I tried to sound ridiculous on purpose. My point was that I just think the whole gateway argument is ridiculous. If you want to get technical, there are a whole lot of butterfly effects in the world that might lead to bad things. Now, in a case such as someone engaging in suspicious activity, yes I think cops should be allowed to question them. There is nothing really harmful about pot though. To say pot is bad because it can lead to worse things - even though a hell of a lot of marijuana smokers I know would never even dare to touch some of the more hardcore drugs out there - well, I don't see how that can be used as an argument against the drug. It should be more of an argument against the people who don't have self-control. Yes, pot can lead to harder drugs, but how much weight does that argument hold? If someone wears too much black clothing, does that always mean they're going to commit suicide? I don't see why a whole group of people should have to suffer just because of the minority. Things will always lead to other things, but I think there should be a line drawn.

What is Jagex's greatest achievement?
Jagex's greatest achievement was Achievement Diaries. It gave some use to some of the useless features.

Is God real post your thoughts!
The way I see it is that the box holds a certain answer. There are two possibilities. Of course atheists will say the odds of God existing are lower and theists will say the odds are higher, but I think the most accurate ones would be agnostics in this situation - a 50/50. There really is no proof for or against God so I think 50/50 is the most reasonable. I guess it doesn't help that I'm agnostic though... makes me sound biased. But yes, I do agree with your main point.

Dreams and life-long goals
1. Have a house of my own for my family and I. 2. Be in a band and make at least one great album. 3. Do something to be remembered by. Well, I wouldn't want myself to be remembered, just my good deeds.

Where do you want to live?
Anywhere as long as the scenery is nice and it isn't too cold. But I'm afraid of beach houses due to hurricanes. :?

Okay, thanks for the help Pureprayer. Anti-Fires it is. :P

Herblore 77 --> 80
Thanks for that as it will help me out with the prices a little but that wasn't my main concern. Those statistics mean nothing if the potions don't sell.

Herblore 77 --> 80
I'd like to buy my herbs and gather the rest. I also want to sell these potions back after I get my desired level. So which potions should I be making that will sell back to GE fairly quick?
