More USA documents get released by Wikileaks
What's wrong with it? The public deserves to know that these things are going on, as do other countries in the world. People say Wikileaks is ruining US foreign policy - they're wrong. US foreign policy ruined US foreign policy. It's not Assange's fault that the US was chilling with a few pals behind closed doors talking [cabbage] about people - all he did was open the door so that everyone would know what was really going on. That's just it though - how a US Ambassador feels about their counter part is irrelevant to two country's relationship between one another. Personal information or communication is insignificant dribble, actual policy is not. If you contrast this "leak" with say, the pentagon papers, you'll find that this is all fluff, and it isn't all fluff, then its impossible to find what they want you to know. There's no purpose for the leak, nothing to prove, except that some diplomats are [wagon] behind closed doors.

More USA documents get released by Wikileaks
I feel like wikileaks is little more than the punk that hacked in to Sarah Palin's email address. The difference between a whistle blower such as (in the past) the new york times and a punk is the type and the amount of information that is leaked. A whistle blower leaks critical information (enough to allow the right questions to be asked or packaged amounts of damning evidence), a punk indiscriminately dumps it all. I'd have more respect for wikileaks if it showed it had the capacity to hold back irrelevant information.

Out of curiosity, how much exp did you get for those meds/smalls? I'm still very doubtful that they are more xp/hr than rush keying larges, even with member doors in the way. I haven't seen a mercenary room in forever either. <_< A 5:5 rush with 3 others and a leech, from floors 1-10, with two of the players (myself and another dragoon) not caring about their HP got on the order of 4-5k xp per small (unless there was a member room, then closer to 2-3k), and it took about 5 minutes per floor (ignoring monsters in non gd rooms). Thats better experience than most larges.

Its endangering soldiers and other innocent peoples lives right? And this, is why I'm not debating it. But it's not. The Government comes out with the same BS every time about it risking lives and it's absolute crap. Of ALL the times Wikileaks have released 'life-risking' documents, how many people have died from it? None. They're not bloody advertising troop movements and pointing a big neon sign saying 'HERE'S A WEAK SPOT GO KILL THEM'. It's exposing the hypocrisies and corruption of their regime. This doesn't equate to 'blood on Julian Assange's hands'. Sort of. Ever read any books by Tom Clancy? Usually these are "hypothetical" situations, but imagine you're some field agent, collecting information about some person (say the President of Country A). They're undercover as a field operative, working as the person's assistant. If their documents get leaked, they're exposed and put in jeopardy. Granted in this scenario, the classification of their work would probably be higher. However, in all the pages they leak, you don't think it couldn't compromise one person?

How about eat your quality food outside of the boss. Eating food wastes hits you could have, and allows the boss to get free hits in. Did a little bit of PVP yesterday, mostly no arms. Was fighting some punk, both of us had very high strength (95+). He hit for 250s early on with a scimitar early in the fight, so I was doing my best to keep my hp above 320 (eating a swordfish at ~250, pizza at ~280, ignoring 280+). I was also timing my hits with my eating, if I had him on a string of hits I would ignore my HP entirely. One point in the fight he hit for about 80, brining my HP down to 240. I hit a string of 200's, so he was comboing pizza and swordfish to stay alive. When I finally missed, I ate a swordfish. The guy called me a safer, because I ate at 240... when at any point in time 1 hit from his scimitar could've KO'd me. Fight went on for a bit more, we were in sync. I hit for about 150, leaving his hp about 170. He hit for 60, leaving my hp about 230. I didn't switch weapons, he switched to a 2h. I hit first and KO'd him, he said he "risked it". Bull, he muffed the timing.- More USA documents get released by Wikileaks
Feel like the guy running wikileaks is a total tool-bag. I also feel that Obama needs to tighten down security in his administration, because for wikileaks to publish something it first needs to be leaked. Whoever is leaking should be tried for treason.- Consumerism thread
And the new item is Television. I personally own a 19" Element HDTV, purchased Black Friday from a circuit city three or four years ago. http://www.amazon.com/Element-Inch-LCD-Flat-Panel/dp/B001IW1FIU Its silver though. Use it as a monitor, no complaints. 3/5 stars because its nothing fancy. My family owns a very large (65-70 inch) samsung DLP.

All this talk of GOP.... Last night I played GOP. Played 4 games. Won 6/6 the first, other team quit the second on air, won 6/6 the third, won 4 before the other team quit on fire. For the third and fourth game I think I was paired up with a few former sabres. I don't have the mad clicky skills to solo 40 on air <_< . To be honest, I always join through blue. I just want to play, and joining a specific color is a little more intense than joining anyone when the portal spawns.- The times a changing?
Jesus would like to disagree. That's a silly point to disagree on, and a silly quote to use. Given that God is three persons in one being - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, its impossible to fully know God without knowing ALL of God. And its also to say that when you die, no one (on earth) knows what really happens. Are you saying that if this person died, it would be absolutely impossible for Jesus to introduce himself? Jesus is God, yet he says that even he doesn't know when the world ends. If you were right, and those who hadn't ever heard of God go to heaven, then why tell them of him in the first place? By giving them a choice in rejecting him, aren't you potentially condemning them hell?- The times a changing?

They need to know its wrong for it to be a mortal sin - there's a difference between mortal and venial. A venial sin is still a sin, but it doesn't separate you from God. I'll give you three distinct scenarios. Consider: Person A was raised as a Catholic. They were taught to go to church on Sunday, receive reconciliation, was baptized and confirmed. They learned the Church's doctrine, everything. At the age of 21, person A realizes that they're homosexual. Person A then rejects the Church's teachings, everything, and gets into an impure relationship. For the rest of their life, they ignore attempts at a change of heart, and become set in their ways. Assuming everything the Catholic Church teaches is correct, and person A dies without a change of heart - yes, they will probably be in hell. The torment of hell isn't punishment from God, its because God is completely absent from hell. As Heaven and Hell have been explained to me - when you die, God is going to give you whatever you want. If what you want, what you're seeking isn't God, you'll find yourself without Him, and in hell. Person B was raised by monkeys. They are completely human, except they had no contact with humanity. As a wild person, they have no concept of morality, and commit atrocious acts. Person B dies, and even though they committed atrocious acts, they lived as they were taught, and had no concept of sin. As far as I know, they'd end up in heaven. Person C was raised in some other religion. They do everything correct, live to their doctrine's moral standards. As far as I know, they'd end up in heaven as well. Every other non-Catholic pretty much falls between those three scenarios, with a mix of falling away from the church, never knowing the church, or never knowing morality. If Adam and Eve had never known about the different trees in the Garden of Eden, how could they sin? For most people, when they die, they must go through purgatory. Purgatory is a purification process, making oneself ready for God. You can imagine God as an extremely bright light, and when you die you open your eyes to it. You can either acclimate yourself to the light, try opening your eyes a bit more and more (as painful as it might be), or you can shut your eyes tight. If you try opening your eyes, you'll find Heaven, if you shut your eyes you'll lose God and be in Hell.- The times a changing?
Trying to be on topic - I think the secular media missed the point entirely. This is not "Catholic Church says condoms are good." or even "can be good." I wouldn't even go so far to say that the Church is condoning condom use. The Catholic Church is very clear in its teachings of sexuality, and the idea that someone would completely ignore the whole "be chaste" thing on sex, while not use a condom because of Catholicism is ridiculous. Thats the way the secular media portrays it though - Infected people are having promiscuous sex and not using condoms because of religion or ignorance. I don't see this as the Church changing its teaching either. Given an undesirable situation, people need to chose the lesser of two evils. First bit of advice from the Church is stay chaste - no sex before marriage, and stay married (monogamy after marriage). People ignore that, and given the situation that an infected person will have sex with a non-infected person, then yes, do everything you can to not infect them. They're already sinning, why make it worse? EDIT: We're not condemning them, they're condemning themselves. Part of the requirement for a mortal sin is the person has to know its wrong, yet do it anyway. That means they know homosexuality is wrong, yet they still do it anyway. We also believe that no one is beyond God's grace - if someone is truly sorry for what they did, God will forgive them. This could also include a change of heart at the time of death, but I wouldn't rely on that. That's why we're not supposed to condemn or punish someone for their sins - because that's a matter between them and God.- Report: N. Korea fires on S. Korea, injuring at least 6
California and the rest of the US?- Dungeoneering Tokens
They should just nix the 1/10 token per xp and make it 1 token per xp. Then they should change the cost of buying things - 1 xp = 10 tokens. That way we don't get this ridiculous truncating error every time. Oh, you earned 4129 xp in this dungeon? 412 tokens for you. Then they could also change the item prices to a more reasonable level - say all items half off, multiply their current price by 5.- Consumerism thread
