That's something, I'll ask if he wants me to sit next to him. I don't know how effective just telling them to go away would be though.

Real life help & advice
Sorry for posting here again only a couple of weeks after the last post. Though I am not bullied myself, I know someone who is. On my bus, this kid who I don't really know that well (though I've talked to him enough to know he's a nice kid) is RELENTLESSLY tormented by a bunch of idiots (both boys and girls). They make fun of him, throw things at him, PHYSICALLY hurt him on rare occasions, and generally make his life hell at every turn. The worst part is, he's autistic, and he doesn't really seem to pick up on the fact that they're doing anything wrong. He hates them, yet when they ask a question, usually trying to get him to say something embarrassing, he answers seriously (and embarrassingly) as if he had no previous knowledge of them. Just completely ignorant to what they do. A couple of friends and I, also on the bus with all of them, were bullied all throughout Middle School. We've promised that, come Hell or high water, we WILL NOT allow this to continue. Problem is, we have no idea how to go about it. I have no moral problem with causing harm to people that deserve it, and these people most definitely do, but my friends wouldn't be for it, and this is just as much their fight as mine. We've listed things we believe we can do, but we could use more help. -Get more people to help. Seriously. That's it. That's ALL we came up with. We also want to avoid getting the school itself involved. Past events have shown just how remarkably useless they can be for this sort of thing. Thanks for any and all advice and ideas.

Thanks for the link! And I agree, if you pull it off, don't even bother with screens, just make a vid with commentary showing the whole thing! no joke, it looks amazing. I also agree with Giordano, kind of has the industrial feel of TF2.

You could probably use MCedit, or if you dont want to just generate new worlds. Other than that, sorry I can't be of more help. On a different note, is there a Cartograph tool for current version? If so, l1nk$ pl0x?

religion
*gah, I told myself I wouldn't get involved* If religion sets your morals, then there's something wrong here. I don't need religion to tell me that it's wrong to randomly turn to the person next to me and beat them to death with their own jaw bone. Religions also seem to often forget about their morals, if it serves their own purposes. And I say their morals, as there is no one correct set of morals.

You could always gather lots of dirt and sand and build your own. That'd be even more impressive. And we'd love to see those scans!

The effects of piracy on artists
I have never payed for a song and never will. The people that deserve to make money on something are the artists. Artists end up getting their name out there BECAUSE of pirated files that people otherwise wouldn't pay for. Publishers deserve only a small fraction of that, and they take WAY more than they deserve.

I think Kung Pow has replaced Schindler's List in my heart for number 1 comedy.

Today...
Why were you going to punch someone? STORY TIME! Anyways, I may just get up and walk out of my science class on Monday. The class is one of the worst for people being unable to SHUT. THE HELL. UP. For five seconds of their lives, and the teacher is threatening to overhaul the entire lesson plan if they don't stop. It's boring now, but he at least tries to keep it hands on. If they continue to talk constantly, it will all be done from a textbook. Previous threats have been made leading up to it, and I know for a fact that they will not stop. I'm not convinced they can. So I'm talking to the few people that actually keep their mouths shut when they have to, and we're going to have a walk-out if the teacher follows through on his threats (and this class will give him every reason to). We will not be punished because of the stupidity of others.

You're not being condescending, I agree. The religion thread has just been 2 people restating the same 2 points for pages and pages.

Just went mining. It was uneventful, until near the bottom I found a huge cave system with 2 gigantic waterfalls that connected at the middle, then ran down a slope as one river into a lake of lava. The room contained iron, gold, coal, and diamonds. My face when I discovered Twin Falls Mine:

Expanded the Monastery to include a basement with a library, and a dark pit that monsters can spawn in as a reference to Army of Darkness.
