the boy scouts and atheists/agnostics/deists/homoseuals
The Scouts have always been an organisation with deep-set Christian values. Unless they've changed things since I was in it, the oath you take has a clause about loyalty to God.

What do YOU think is the best console/platform?
PC. I can't do essays on a console whilst alt-tabbing to gank some Alliance every now and then. Also, porn is more accessible on PCs. And games get ported.

Fourth Edition D&D
It's a lot more accessible to new players, although the roleplaying aspect of it seems to have suffered hugely, now that wizards can't really do as much silly stuff as they could in 3.5. A huge pro for 4e is that races, classes and encounters are more or less balanced now. Ironically, this is also a huge con for 4e, because there had to be a lot of hand-waving, fluff-wise, to make the mechanics stick. That said, at least clerics and druids are no longer dominating the game as they did in 3.5 - they were overpowered even with just core rules, with the wizard coming in a close second. It's clearly geared to appeal to a younger audience, hence its overt similarities to WoW. The at-will/encounter powers mean that the action can last almost indefinitely, unlike 3.5, when there was a lot of downtime due to casters needing to refresh spells. However, the downtime, as I see it, was great for getting in a bit of RP. 4e isn't too much of an issue with me, since the games I run are heavily RP-based anyway, with only occasional bouts of brutal, gory combat.

Money? How? Why?
I don't know how you're equating a hunting knife to a .45 pistol.

Money? How? Why?
I lol'd because if a boar was close enough for you to have to use a hunting knife to defend yourself, you'd probably be dead in the next two seconds anyway.

Money? How? Why?
Wait - you want a hunting knife as a backup weapon while boar hunting?! Either the boar in your area are really small, or the hunting knives are really freaking huge. Damn, boy, there are reasons why hunters in the middle ages used groups of men with spears to hunt boar.

Money? How? Why?
Jesus Christ, and here I was thinking you were asking because you needed to pay for something important like bills or rent.

elder scrolls IV : OBLIVION
Conjuration and Alchemy level too quickly for major skills. Best swap them out for other things. Your conjuration summons aren't going to be tanking much, since without mods, it'll be a while before you get any summons that are worth anything. Ranged combat involves a lot of running away.

The official World of Warcraft thread.
Dinged 70 on my warlock last night, then bought my flying mount. Oh man. After training skills, I was left with a whole 24s to my name. Two hours of regular questing in Netherstorm, and I now have 250g again.

...An Introduction to an idea
Could we get some prose? Everything is in dialogue, and that is boring. Also, all the characters sound the same.

Israeli Checkpoints: Right or Wrong? (Summaries)
Would you rather let everyone through without ID checks? Unfortunately for those Palestinian villagers, the extremists don't exactly pick static positions to fire their rockets or mortars from, which leads Israel to go after their sources of materiel and manpower.

Spread the knowledge, share your ideas
Prevention is better than the cure. Condoms for everybody. Flog anyone who objects on religious grounds, because I'm pretty sure God would rather people didn't die from STDs than worry about a couple of wasted sperm.

Wicca, Witches, and Witchcraft (Survey)
Witches!? Suffer not the witch to live! Have you ever met a witch? Yes. Do you believe their magick works? No. Have you ever attempted a spell? If so, do you believe it worked for you? No. Do you believe witches are evil? Why? The very existence of a witch is a blasphemy unto the Emperor. [serious answer: not objectively] Do you sometimes fantasize about becoming a witch? No. Do you believe in a Goddess and God deity? To accept a heathen god is to blaspheme against the Emperor. What are your views about worshipping nature? So long as nature is worshiped in a way that venerates the Emperor as its master and protector, it is acceptable. Have you ever met a sorceror(ess)? No. Do you believe in black magick? The practice of warpcraft is an act of the highest treason. Abhor it! Do you believe in Satan? The machinations of the Ruinous Powers are many. Abhor them! Have you ever dabbled in black magick? By the Emperor, no. Do you worship Satan? Heresy, etc. What are your views of people worshipping Satan as a deity? Heresy, Inquisition, etc.

Has anyone ever written a book?
I wrote a short novel for NaNoWriMo last year. Just make sure you have a lot of material you can cover. Come up with as many sub-plots as you can, because if all you want to do is cover a main story, you're going to have trouble filling up the pages. You should try your hand at short stories first, and try to get them into compilations rather than starting off with your own novel. 8,000-12,000 words should be about the right length for a short piece. A very short vignette might take you up to 3-5,000 words, which you could do in a day.
