I think you guys misinterpreted my post. I was trying to say civilization is a very ambiguous term. What defines what is a civilization and where is the cutoff point? And please, do not copy paste Wikipedia's definition of civilization just to be a jerk. I am not putting down any native people. I'm sorry if it came off that way. On another point, (directed at Shadowfax) it would be very foolish to assume that all native tribes of the Americas were peaceful and simply slaughtered by brutal Europeans. Yes, there are plenty of examples of peaceful groups, but many of the groups of people (like the Nahua I mentioned in my first post who were conquered by Cortez, along with many other similar groups throughout the Americas) are in a constant state of warfare. Their entire lives are based off an ancient tradition of warfare. Their rise to power in the area was fueled by warfare and their demise will always be through military conquest. These people have been doing this for thousands of years before the arrival of ANY Europeans. Am I saying that it was right for Cortez to destroy the Nahua society? No, but there are two sides to each coin.

The Native Americans and every other native people of North America and South America NEVER invented a wheel. Even though wheels have been found on children's toys, not one wheel was used whatsoever for transportation. The native people, in some cases, were very advanced for their time (the Nahua come to mind), but many of these groups of people had been stagnant in developing technology for hundreds of years. The idea of "don't fix what isn't broken" seems to be a common theme among the indigenous people of the Americas. These people *most likely* would have made slight improvements without European intervention, but as I said before, they could not even implement the use of a wheel which leads one to wonder how advanced these civilizations (if you even want to call them that) would have become.

Watched The Prestige for the first time since I saw it twice in theaters. I was sadly mistaken when I initially said this movie was good.

I can drum with good technique and rhythm. Sadly, that is very unique.

Yes, indirectly, skill capes could be cited as the demise of skilling for enjoyment, but without the release of those massive money makers like GWD, DKs, and TDs, skill capes would not have had the effect you claim they have had on skilling.

I don't buy this at all. I don't think you're implying that people didn't grind before skill capes came out because that would be silly statement to make, but I also don't agree that they've ruined any part of RuneScape. If anything, it has given players a pretty cool reward for working hard at a certain skill, which makes the game more enjoyable. Also, the first article is the first article I've thoroughly enjoyed from the Times in awhile. Perhaps because it was some actual journalism instead of someone's day dreams about RuneScape's past conjured up while they were afk-ing a skill. Good job Ts.

I'd say three true friends, four if we can include dogs.

It's one of the movies that got me closest (but not quite there) to crying, there are one or two sadder movies though. It's Japan. I would never watch that. You really should get over that. That's a really unfair thing to say. I can't stand 90% of the films/art that come out of Japan/China/Korea but I know loads of people who eat it right up. It's all about taste, don't be hatin'.

This show is unbearable. My roommates watched it last year non-stop.

If I remember right it was 3rd grade under some playground equipment. We probably got married the next day and stopped talking to each other another day after that. Ahhh elementary school.

I bet he put more hours into Dungeoneering than I've put into RuneScape in the last 2 years.

Freshmen move in on Saturday. Heh heh heh...

No thanks on the toolbar. I hate any and every toolbar. They only slow your browser down and take away viewing area.

Agreed, it's impossible for the reward to be based off GE prices. I've been camping Hellhounds for lvl 3s and I'll start keeping a log.

saru you are such a [bleep]ing idiot man...grow up already Annnnnnnnd +1 for the troll.

I enjoy watching you people argue, haha. I thought either you or How2PK was saying how [cabbage]ty it was, or something like that. [Wow, a month ?] Every board needs a token cynic. I'm only serving my purpose.

Why would you come into a topic about a movie and not expect to see spoilers? You've been here long enough to know that rules get lax by 7 pages and over a month since the movie came out haha.

I see no reason not to...

That was Bush, and we all know that Bush has a much higher level in prayer than any one else. God did tell him to to war, you know.

You base all this nonsense off one lvl 4 clue that gave you 100k. You should be more patient.

His voice sounds like he should be singing contemporary christian music or something. This is awful.

Just another media hype over nothing. Smear the Obamas.

I started around the end of 2003, beginning of 2004 on an account that is now long lost and forgotten about. I wasn't savvy on any of the rare drops or untradeables so I have no proof of my existence, but I did play (even though it was minimal at the beginning) at least somewhat "back in the day".

Never take vitamins, never had any immunizations, never gotten sick with anything more than a bad cold. Just eat healthy and stay active.
