Things are different now with themed worlds. 99 is a normal world, no need to change. End of thread. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol!

So, where are they? (coarse language) "Tangible" proof that the government lies? CNN credible enough for you? http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... id=1829687 (coarse language) Good laugh. :lol: "Those weapons of mass destruction gotta be somewhere! Nope no weapons over there. Maybe under here." :lol:

If you think one thing is true, is that not your opinion? None here are not dead yet, we don't know!

Lol ambassadar you make it sound like open-mindness doesn't exist. It does, face it. Being open-minded is being receptive to new ideas. Some people are, some people aren't. Gays? "Ew, gays!" "Okay, hi gays!". Simplist, but true.

Of course he doesn't know. No one knows. The only way you will ever know whether people have souls is by testing it yourself - by dying. Duh. I'm asking for your opinion, or the thread would end with "I don't know". :roll: And Warrior and I's opinion is that "we don't know." Are you only accepting certain opinions? Lol. Stop arguing over stupid things like this, I bet you have fairy odd parents to watch :roll: . And btw, "We don't know" is not an opinion, it's the truth.

No warrior, "justifications" for opinions would turn this into a flame war, you know this. Just let people say their opinion and be. Besides no "justifications" stand here, we're all alive! : By that I mean, why argue on something we can never prove? Pointless, and ends in flames. :notalk:

Of course he doesn't know. No one knows. The only way you will ever know whether people have souls is by testing it yourself - by dying. Duh. I'm asking for your opinion, or the thread would end with "I don't know". :roll: Do I even need to mention this? This is not complicated to understand, stop making me lose my time to go back to kindergarden.

How come you don't know? If you believe you have no soul, you cease to exist when your body dies. If you think you continue to exist, then it means you believe you are something more than just a body.

Do you think you have a soul, some sort of essence, or do you think you are just some random makeup of physical cells, that there is nothing more to you than a biological brain, and that when you die you will cease to exist?

Why you are all arguing about this being true or not? Read this, register it somewhere in your dusty head, then if someday the government truly wants to do a NAU, and a NWO, then it will be the time to bring out the pearl out of your head, and SAY NO! None of you have access to this information, no one knows what is going on for sure, you just repeat other people's darned opinions and facts, be it the governments, skeptics, conspiracy scholars, then you mix up some ad hominem statements, but in fact you are just a dumb joe sitting in front of your computer with no idea what is going on or not. Actually, just having an opinion on this is stupid. Just sit with a watchful eye and watch the events unfold, and if needed, act to protect your rights. They are you're rights, everyone should protect them regardless of their beliefs! Why the hell didn't you protect your rights when Bush decided he could do whatever he wanted to YOU based on the assumption you could be a terrorist?! Have you forgotten what United States was based on? Have you forgotten what your ancestors have fought and died for?! Sometimes I wonder if the human race is even worth trying to save. Are a species that ignorant, selfish, self-centered, egocentric, arrogant, agressive race even worth living? Heh, serious doubts on that. As usual, humans have failed to learn from history, and will repeat past mistakes over and over. The human race might aswell be annihalated right now, our planet would be much better without us, and we would stop all this pointlessness. EDIT: I didn't have enough. IGNORE if you TRULY aren't in the 80%, OBVIOUSLY, Why do people have to repeat that over and over, isn't OBVIOUS? If you are in the 80% I despise, then this is for you, don't take offence, it is the raw truth. I'm not here to ego-debate with you, I have to specify that because your first idiotic instinct is to do so, well give it up, I DON'T care anymore, go PLAY OUTSIDE INSTEAD. I am sick of you egocentric, [wagon]es, you form 80% of the population of this planet. Oh I know, you will reply saying I'm the stupid one blah blah blah, that's the kind of stupid thing that you do that makes you [wagon]es in the first place. Have a nice day, and kill yourself while you are at it, you know you are an egocentric, ignorant person, and yet you arrogantly still want to exist and obviously you think you are so much superior to everyone else. Truth? Child games, you are a stupid and selfish as our leaders. Money money money, the sweet illusion of the idiotic. Sick of it, rotten scumbags, most of you don't deserve even living, and the actual intelligent people are stuck with you! You even get in stupid little arguments, ego arguments with the intelligent, and of course since you are more skilled in the stupid ego debates, you "own" the intelligent. Feel good doesn't it? Well I'm SICK of it, there's no way to get an intelligent conversation going with you CHILDREN, you turn it into THIS, UNEDUCATED statements; ad hominems attacks, "Omg that's so not true". Can it get any dumber? And yes, I'm PISSED you noticed? Pissed to deal with the bunch of idiots you are! Pissed! I'm saying you something VERY simple. DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. And yet you will still find a way to complain about that, or to find an EXCUSE to do NOTHING! Just admit it, you are LAZY, and you would rather be enslave that to have to do anything to help yourself, and your country! You should be ashamed!

They're born like that, it's inherent, even when they are little children, a lot before they can consciously make that choice, they are different from the other children: likes/dislikes, voice, facial expression, etc. Besides, there is absolutely no logical basis to say that homosexuality is a bad thing, it has existed since a long time in human history. The christian Church doesn't like it, I don't know why, but whatever reason it is, it is not a reasonable, logical reason, it's pure intolerance.

Apparently you didn't understand what I wrote, doughnut. In my post I'm talking of evolution as in not in the much discussed biologic sense. -.- I don't see why otherwise you'd find that topic annoying.

Age doesn't account for maturity, nor intelligence. Older adults often act as if because of their age they are superior to younger people, rubbish, all they want is pump their ego. Nope, but age does have a serious affect on ones maturity. You contradict yourself. First you say that "when you are below 18 you are pretty stupid" and now you say that "nope", learn some coherence. Then you say "but age does have a serious affect on ones maturity", you state is at a fact, but it merely your opinion, nothing more. By the way, it's probably not even your opinion, you heard it, agreed with it, and when you bring that pearl out you make an exercise of memory, not of reflection. I for one, disagree with that opinion. From age 0 to 16, I agree that age is important, since the brain and body is not fulled developed yet. But from age 16 and beyond, I think age is totally irrelevant. I've seen old adults (50+) around me do the same errors over and over again because they had failed to learn from their past experiences. I've seen one dwell into his narrow-mindness and ego, like a lot of the teenagers here do. I've seen another reject his love relationships, relationship after relationship, without ever facing the reasons of this. I've seen another live in depression, anxiety, fear, and self-pity. Those humans, no matter how old they were, never evolved. Evolution does not occur if one does not take the time to reflect. And even though I did not live any of those old adults' experiences, I don't need to - I have learned from their experience and will not do the same errors as they did.

16 hours 0.50 cents an hour Sounds like a sweatshop to me -.- It looks bad, but remember, this is China. It would be the same low-income situation as a Chinese factory worker, for example. For some reason people think little kids are forced to play these games. They're not. The people that work there aren't evil. They're just trying to make a living. The chance of destroying a game's economy certainly isn't going to stop them. That doesn't mean we should ignore gold farmers, but please, cut out all the ignorant rhetoric about "those evil chinese shweatshops". No, you said that it was exagerated to call those shops sweatshops, and what highlander did is provide the dictionary definition and show you that indeed those shops are sweatshops, end of the sotry.

If I had a time machine, I wouldn't give a cabbage about Runescape, I'd be doing something more useful -.-

Wrong according to you. Don't make the egocentric error of thinking that your opinion has more value than that of other's, Goddess.

I tried that but then Mr Lawsuit came and I had to knife him. =( :lol:

As you know well, not all forums are friendly, and not all forumers are friendly. These are a few guidelines on how to act in certain situations, all of them are common sense, and revolve around the notion of not hurting yourself or another person. I hope this will help you make you a better forumer, and thus make tip.it a better place. In no particular order: Never take insults or compliments personal Never take insults or personal attacks personal, because they are not personal. People can be angry at a forum person named <_______> and say lots of insults usually insults about low intelligence. Truth is, whoever people are on a forum, it is not who they you truly are. There is no voice tone, no facial expression, no eyes expression, there is nothing. No matter what insult people say to you, they don't know who you are, it's not aimed at you, so don't take it personal. If someone insults you, ask yourself the question "Why is he/she doing that?" and try to scroll back into the conversation to understand what happened, and fix what's broken. Worse thing that happens, you make a forum enemy, it's a fake enemy really. Same goes for compliments I'm affraid. Compliments about your hard work are fine, if it is true, but compliments about you as a person must be discarded. In real life, it's very difficult to know someone genuinely. And as such very difficult to make a valid and truthful compliment, so on a forum, forget about it. Discard those compliments, they are untrue, and do not flatter your ego with them, ego is a bad thing to have. Compliments and insults are recorded by the human brain to forge self-identity. When you insult or compliment someone, you are actually meddling in their self-identity, that is why people can react so visciously to insults, and so blissfully to compliments. Be very careful of what you say, insults and compliments, but especially insults, are serious business, don't mess with them. I will give you the example of the old chinese tradition. Chinese tradition encouraged being untouched by both insults and compliments, because when you are untouched by them, it is that you know who you are, your flaws and your talents, and once you own who you are, compliments and insults do not touch you anymore because your identity is already forged, by yourself, and you refuse to let other people's defective point of view decide of your identity. Religious and political debates Those are very flammable, as you know well. Things can degenarate and become nasty very quickly on topics like those. It's very difficult to debate on topics like those without being hurt, or hurting someone. You can control how you hurt others, and choose not to be hurtful, but the person you debate with probably will not be careful and you will be hurt by them even though you are being decent with them. You can post on those topics, and if your post is not a debate reply or controversial opinion, everyone will ignore you, so better not post. If you're going to debate, I suggest having a total knowledge of your subject, and to stay detached from what you say and what others say to you. Take constructive critism Sometimes people need to be put back at their place, people often make the error of mixing personal attacks & constructive critism, don't. If you want the person to take your constructive critism, be respectful, it's already hard enough to gobble critism by itself. Mixing in insults in it will result in the person thinking your whole post is just insults, and won't consider your critism. A good idea is to also say it when your giving constructive critism. In heated debates, it's hard to make the difference. If your the one who has receive critism, then consider it and think about it, if it's not true, discard it, if it has truth it in, try to understand what is causing the problem. That's all for now, I will add more if I remember what was that last point I wanted to make.. hmm...

Mine would be lips. I always look at someone's lips when they're talking, I always notice lips before anything else (unless they're obese, I notice that first). Um yeah, lips big part of my life lool So what's yours? :P

Do some activities, martial arts, public pool, sports, public beach, etc.

By the way, sorry for the horrible title, I don't know how to word this. You can give me some ideas.

Alright, splinter cell reference, but let's say that you need to choose between saving your loved one (husband/wife/gf/bf) life's or saving 3000 people's lives. If you choose to save your loved one, 3000 people will die, or vice versa. What would you do? Sacrife the person you love to save pain and sorrow to 3000 families, or save your loved one, and condemn 3000 people to death. Also take in count how you would feel afterwards, and how your loved one would feel afterwards(by her/his personality, how he/she would react). Let's say you save your beloved but she/he is guilty to have been chosen over 3000 people and quits you. Or you kill your beloved, and feel guilty all your life. In the scenario, the victims' families don't know who you are, and you won't be put in jail for killing 3000 people. If you don't have any beloved, you can replace it by a parent, or a friend.

I use a lot less water than I used to. We recycle. My mother takes public transportation to go to work usually. Apart from that, we got a really small house and don't use much electricity. I think most citizens do a good job. It's the government and the companies who are HUGE wasters.
