Once upon a blue moon, dolphins ate a muppet that was quite scary to watch as they started they began to having filthy lousy hiccups. Their hiccups were very loud and thunderous as A thunder cloud. As rain started milk poured from the crevices of a big cow's bountiful pink teats and all townfolk emerged running with unsharpened iron knives and many torches made from weathered Nails and donkey hide. Those townfok

woot. I guess I'll have to defend my opinion soon then?

No, but I think theft can't be universally be translated into years. Stealing a priceless work of art from some entity like the Smithsonian is not the same as stealing the life/retirement savings of an individual. The priceless work of art has a much higher value placed on it than the life savings of an individual, but the amount of pain it causes is completely disproportionate.

Not just any diamond, the Hope diamond. You know, priceless. Eye for an eye would fail in this situation, because you'd basically give them a life sentence for a crime as simple as theft. Eye for an eye would also force people to place a price on other's lives, some sort of human-currency conversion.

Forced labor. For how long?

APR is the rate you'd have to pay on any unpaid balance at the month, for a month. The monthly interest rate is a little lower than the APR, but since the monthly rate compounds monthly, it becomes higher. If you make minimum payments on your card for that purchase, you'll pay well more than 23% more. I don't know what the fee schedule is for that particular card, but you'll probably end up paying more in interest than what the laptop costs (say, $2000 total instead of $500). Using a credit card for temporary loans like that is not a wise decision. Some stores will offer loans on large purchases. Getting into debt like this temporarily might seem like a good option, but in the long run you'll pay more for it. Wait for the day after thanksgiving, thats when computers are usually super cheap.

That's not even something that would make it to courts/involve a charge, so nothing Same bum steals the hope diamond, hides it, but gets caught and the diamond can't be found. What's the equivalent punishment?

But what if I bought a CD and made a bunch of copies for my friends and family? I own the CD, I should be able to do with it whatever I please. You own that CD, but you don't own the contents of the CD. You didn't buy the intellectual property on the CD to do as you please, you bought the physical media to license the contents so you could listen to it whenever you wanted to. Same way as if you bought a book and make hundreds of photocopies of it, distributed those copies, you'd be breaking copyright laws. EDIT: To try and stay on topic, an eye for an eye wouldn't work in theft scenarios. If a bum on the street with no wealth stole a newspaper and then destroyed it, how do you punish him accordingly?

Yep. Not trying to detract from rugby, my older brother played it for 6 years. As an American, I'd say I have much more experience with it than 98% of all other Americans. I can't cite the rules to you chapter and verse, but I do understand the basics of the game. Tackling in Rugby is much different than tackling in American Football. Also, there is no offensive blocking in rugby, seeing as this would be offsides. From what I've seen, these rules lead to less non-ball handler collisions between teams. I still vote for rugby to be called scrambled hand-egg. :wink:

Blastbox might make for a KO if you don't use it the entire fight... equip it when they're least expecting it and the extra damage could push them over... Of course, once they know you have a blastbox they won't let their HP get below 200.

Better setup includes a scimitar as well. Getting 3 fast hits in is devastating. Typical people try to keep their HP on the low end of 300-400. In the span of one hit from adamant arrows, a person can eat a swordfish. Use a scimitar, and they can eat 230 more, but only if the scimitar doesn't KO them. Sample: Opponent has 350 health. You hit 160 with range, switch to scimitar. They quickly eat, losing their ability to hit, you hit 200 with the scimitar. They now have 130 HP, putting them in a very precarious position. If they try to combo pizza and swordfish, they might miss the timing, leaving them at 220HP for an easy KO with a R2H. If they don't combo, they'll have 270 HP for a moderately difficult PK. If they make the combo, they'll have 360 HP, but you'll still hit them, and will likely force them to eat again. Meaning you can restart that process :thumbsup: Compare that to just range and 2h, where they have 350 health. You hit 160 with range, they eat, and you have no chance for a PK.

what the heck is this trash?

ZOMG CAN'T LOG IN... This explains a lot. Glad you picked up on it.

I'd no arm you, especially since you're not using pizzas. Easy KO.

Be my guest, see how long you last in the NFL at any position other than kicker without pads or a helmet. Bet you'll break a couple bones. Rugby players seem to do alright. Rugby players don't bash together for a snap like in American Football, they push each other in a scrum. The game isn't intermittent as well, so you don't get players sprinting for every play. Rugby players are also conditioned to get rid of the ball before they get tackled, unlike American Football were players hold on for dear life. Also, I'd consider hockey players to be real men.

Really depends on the situation. For instance, say someone has an advanced form of cancer. They're given two options - an expensive trial drug with a 2% probability of curing their cancer, or hospice. Say the family decides hospice, and three months later that individual dies. Technically, you had the ability to save their life, but didn't. No, choosing hospice was not killing/murder. They died from cancer, not from with holding "lifesaving" treatment. Scenarios like this vary wildly and there is no universal answer for all of them.

No, you're being infuriating. It also appears that you're too elitist, ignorant, and/or stupid to grasp the simple reason why the Catholic Church would never support an act it deems to be "intrinsically evil" (by the way, the answer is staring you in the face), or the reason that the people that champion limited government would want the most basic of rights protected. Government shouldn't care about what you do in your bedroom, so long as it doesn't interfere with the rights of others (you know, like an inalienable right to life).

Intellectual property is being stolen. The reason "sharing" music online is illegal is the exact same reason you'd be sued if you manufactured your own iPads and gave them away for free. True, nothing physically is being stolen, but you are distributing a license which you have no right to distribute. As an inventor, I like the fact that I can have a monopoly on my idea for 20 years after I teach the world how to make it, and pay the filing fees. Just like writing a patent application, creating music takes time, effort, and capital. You know, money. If you photocopied one of my invention applications and published it in a magazine, you didn't steal the original copy, but you stole from me 20 years of profits I should have had. Whether my invention is crap or not (in your opinion) doesn't matter.

I'm wishing that I had no-lifed to 120 dungeoneering like a handful of other f2pers... all these new members puzzles that are impossible, or geared towards members that are very difficult to "solve" on F2P are really starting to piss me off. Good fight, jamflex.
