I've only been here since Scapeboard but I'm pretty sure the Off-Topic board was never meant for Runescape.

thats right, you cant help people that dont want to be helped. In other words, you cant force your morals on others. I don't know if you meant it that way, but are you implying that forcing morals on others helps them? Wouldn't it make sense to imply that? If I think my set of morality is correct, then I think that it would help you had to follow them. If I didn't think my views on morality were helpful, why would I even follow them?

I'm confused, how is it wasted energy? Are you saying if the cows didn't eat the grass we would be able to use their potential body heat for energy? I think I just don't know enough about energy to understand you! :P

You too!? I thought my present was unique... :P

I WANT!!.... no.. NEED!!! one of those!! Wait...what do those things do? :-s They keep drinks cold for you while they sit on it.

Yeah its pretty awesome. I took a root beer and just sat it on there for a little over and hour and it stayed cold.

So says you. I think there is something inherently wrong with punching people in face for no reason other than wanting to. ok..let's play the "why game". You keep making statments and I keep saying why until you realise there is no inherent value without god. You're right. So what's your point? I never denied the need for a belief in god - mainly because its irrelevant to my point, and also because religious discussions are not allowed. Let us not continue down this road.

My older brother got me the ultimate nerd gift and I couldn't be more excited. Yes, that's right. A USB powered drink cooler. :P

So says you. I think there is something inherently wrong with punching people in face for no reason other than wanting to.

Indeed. Stay here and be a big fish in a small pool. You always win when you're arguing with an idiot. pretty sure the saying tells you NOT to argue with an idiot :? Idiots live their life according to cliche sayings.

So what happens when someone does something to you that you feel is wrong? I feel like they did something wrong against me, because of my set of morals, but thats at the time. I always look back on it, and know that they may have a reason that they find alright about it. "One countries love is another's hate." So if someone punches you in the face, you just walk away? No i get angry at the time. But as i say, later on, i reflect on it, and tend not to care, just knowing they probably had a reason for it, that made sense to them. Edit: I should give a better explanation. Of course i feel anger when i "feel" that someone has wronged me, but i don't let hate stem from that. I realize there are differences in the way others think, and i think about their love, so that the love and hate circle does not continue. So it is not wrong for someone to just come up to you and punch you in the face for no reason other than they wanted to?

Black (probably dyed) hair that comes down to your eyes (if not currently dyed then brown), perhaps a bit over them, combed forward and slightly to the side. Perhaps wearing a black LaCoste polo shirt, maybe a thin black necklace/choker. Lots of black. Maybe you like to take pictures of yourself from a high angle. How close? stay off my myspace! no one would have guessed the lacoste shirt :( I used to work at abercrombie and Ralph Lauren Oh Anesthesia, words cannot describe the smile on my face right now.

I'm assuming the Deathly Hallows...whatever they turn out to be...is where Harry is going to have to face Voldy for the final time. ...I can't freaking wait!

Er...?

Oh...silly me...I thought they were ugly. Apparently that's just an illusion caused by the fact that they were a design stolen from Australia. Those darn optical illusions!

In fact, most Africans I know are white.

Ideally you're correct, but that's not realistic.

That really is the heart of the problem. Communism doesn't last because it never actually exists. Communism is just a fluff word that dictators can use. They still own everything and, more importantly, everyone - but they can convince the people that everyone is "equal."

I saw the Pursuit of Happyness this past weekend. That was pretty fantastic. Will Smith did an amazing job I thought.

Communism basically establishes equality by all people by throwing away ideas of ownership. In a Communist state, no one would own anything, including property, and everyone would work for the common good. The only time communism has ever been put into effect "successfully" has been when a dictator decides to make the country it governs communistic. However, the dictator doesn't want to give up its control and so it stays the "leader" - and the effect is that under the guise of "communism," the government takes control of everything. Capitalism is an economic system. It establishes anywhere from free to a mostly free market, such as the United States. Capitalism is often seen as the opposite of communism because capitalism is all about doing business yourself, and therefore owning things, whereas communism is about no ownership. Capitalism basically just abolishes government-owned businesses and relies on the entire market to be run by the people - either privately or corporately.

It's even worse when you realize that they are called Ugg boots. They gave everyone a really nice hint as to what they're up to.

I only have one cousin who's younger than myself and the last I heard she was being arrested by my uncle for theft. Maybe I'm not a good role model? :P Your uncle arrests family members?! I guess its necessary in extreme cases. I haven't seen them in years - they live very far away from me - but I've heard stories about how she has terrorized the family. Tough love?

I think all this history is really interesting. It's funny how famous names have just disappeared in Runescape/TIF history...

Nope. But my 28 year old cousin-in-law acts like she's five and when I have to see her she just bugs me all day long. Does that count?
