More or less totally misleading statement, given severe acne can lead to depression and even suicide. Why suffer from a treatable skin disease and be ridiculed by ignorant people every day, when substances like Roaccutane are widely available for everyone?

For your own sakes, before trusting a random person with 1 post, hover your mouse over the link in any standard web browser. It will show you the true URL. If it deviates from the original, just don't click on it especially if it takes you to a site such as "runsscapeforumz.freeeehost.com/login.html"

Wtf really? There's no such thing, so it obviously wasn't "already tried". Nintendo has only ever published Zelda games for their own platforms (and arcade parlors/the Philips CD-i, in the 80's), never for the PC.

RuneScape Official Forums - The Stupidity is amazing
BlueLancer replied to XxTearGodxX's topic in Rants
To be honest, the official forum has never been "smarter". I modded it for a while back when it was re-launched (RS did have official forums back in 2001 too, but they removed them for some reason) like 4 years ago. They first picked about 10-20 people to the duty, on the condition of retaining continuous membership. I simply gave up because most of the duty consisted of locking posts from complete morons, that would either 1. Make personal threats to Jagex/it's staff if they got banned/muted 2. Post a complaint over and over hoping it will change the game 3. People that kept posting a "new feature" 3 weeks later Not to mention the immature attitudes, grammar and language... You can't hate on them, because most of them are kids and *will* change when enough time has passed. Still it's more or less a cesspool if you like real discussions, that's where sites like tip.it/zybez/etc. can help. -
Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States
BlueLancer replied to 3rkid's topic in Off-Topic
I meant: How much does it mean to the voter? I personally couldn't care less if Obama was a democrat or a republican, he was the right candidate for this election. -

BlueLancer replied to 3rkid's topic in Off-Topic
I totally agree. We're called Republicans. Geez. Being a democrat or a republican doesn't mean you have to throw critical thinking into the trash bin. Countless republican politicians and newspapers endorsed Obama in this campaign, simply because he was the better candidate. Even Palin's native newspaper which is republican-leaning, Anchorage Daily News, endorsed Obama. Likewise, if the democrats field a crappy candidate in the next elections, while republicans field a popular, liked candidate such as Ron Paul, you can bet your money a lot of democrats will also endorse the better candidate regardless of party affiliation. Some people really ought to think again, just how much do party labels mean anymore? -
are you mad? i wouldnt put my worst enemy in a junk heap like those stupid "smart cars". i wouldn't even use something that bad to sit in the the backyard and rust while my dog slept in it. those things are ugly, and not to mention that very unsafe. Without commenting on the aesthetics, they are very unsafe, compared to bigger cars. USA Today wrote an article on it last year: http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/200 ... cars_N.htm I'd never, ever let any of my family members drive in one, let alone if I have kids some day, driving them around in those. Cutting fuel costs isn't a reason to add a few 1,000%'s to your likelihood of dying in traffic.

1. Put as many visible obstacles such as tree trunks or large rocks on both train tracks to make the trains slow down & stop. Not every solution has to involve death. 2. Let the healthy person live. Attempting to implant organs into an unknown recipient's body involves a massive risk of rejection by the body, not only would those 5 people be dying, you'd also be murdering a completely innocent person, with a high probability of the other people not surviving either way. It makes no mathematical sense.

A head shot would of done better.. The one he posted is already more than enough, technically according to rules he shouldn't even be allowed to post at all until he's 13 (but tip.it isn't traditionally nitpicking over that unless it's obvious the poster is *way* too young or a guardian complains) without a parents consent. I doubt tip.it has predators but you can never be too certain. It's for his own good. Try thinking it from the perspective of a parent, maybe even you in the future, with a kid online.

The funny thing is.. No religion has absolute majority in the world, that just destroys the argument. It doesn't matter if you're a christian, muslim, hindu, buddhist, 75% of the world population have opposing views. Do you really believe a God created all of them just to be cast into some "hell"? (Not to mention if you're jewish, that's 99.9999925% of the world population that disagrees with your beliefs)

Very correct 8-) Though change to "find a place for me" and it's perfect. But if you run that through a translator, remember south slavic languages don't use the 'j' that much (like Russian). You'd need to remove it from "mjesto" and "ovdje" Yes, don't bother using online translators for information seeking purposes, especially asian languages like Chinese/Japanese/Korean. It will be hilarious instead of readable (you can read it, but it will sound weird).

Been driving this for a while: (2002 model) [hide=][/hide] Not the best and the total HP is under 200, but I agree with angryjoe... At least most new Audis/Mercs are representable and you can use them for business trips etc. Tons of good cars in the world, gas-guzzling monsters, but still cool.. The BG Veyron, Ferrari F360 Modena spider, Murcielago... Only downside is that without the proper income you'll blow a lifetime of savings on a single car :lol:

The only reason why the theory of God as a creator of universe has any more plausibility than the spaghetti monster or toothfairy, is because there isn't conclusive scientific evidence as to what put atoms and the big bang in motion. In theory, until proven otherwise, anything could be the origin of the universe. If there is ever enough scientific evidence to prove beyond doubt what/how the universe was precisely created, we can discredit all the false theories. Until then in a purely logical debate, none of them can be "disproven". The flatness of Earth was an equally, hotly disputed 'fact' during the Middle Ages. It had both proponents and opponents. Even though we now know you can't fall out of Earth's edges by sailing to the 'world's end', how would you had convinced the proponents of the theory during a time when astrology and sciences were still in baby shoes and there was no conclusive evidence either way until many centuries down the road? Likewise, regardless of the truth that exists without us knowing it yet (like the Earth not being flat despite people having radically different views), in the absence of evidence, all theories hold some credibility, including theistic creationism. If science advances radically there's a chance creationism/tooth fairies/gods could be discredited.. Until then, they are just another possibility.

At what level is a skill considered "high"? Combat effects?
BlueLancer replied to Vulxai's topic in General Discussion
Level 90+ takes dedication towards the game, it does get mind numbingly boring to level up after that.. But it's high. Even having a 90 combat stat puts a player somewhere near the top 5-10% mark of players. -
It's an overly literal intepretation of scripture, in the words of Pope John Paul II: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_ ... 99_en.html Amongst theologists it's usually accepted that "hell" is not a place of actual 'physical torture'. It means departion from God, and being inadmissible to heaven. Amateur theologists or smaller sects sometimes intepret the verses as meaning literal, eternal physical suffering extracted by a supposedly benevolent God (which itself is a paradox exploited by philosophists like Epicurus).

I highly doubt Jesus would be telling people that if they sin, they will burn in a garbage dump named the Valley of Hinnom. The continuously burning garbage dump in the Valley of Hinnom, Gehenna (lit. hell) was used to burn criminals, usurpers, carcasses of dead animals, etc... It was an actual physical place in Jerusalem where the worst of the worst would be disposed. At no point do Jesus or the Bible mention anything about your "soul" ending up in there. Book of Revelations and Hebrews 10:27 also mention 'raging fire' or 'lake of fire' in relation to 'gehenna'.

If you ever get involved with a court of law, you'll notice it applies in every situation where assumptions are made about a situation. You can't just state something or act out on 'belief', you must have something concrete to support your statement in order for it to be valid. Likewise in court, when someone is being accused of murder or any other crime, the burden of proof isn't on the defendant. It's on the person making the statement that something happened. For courtesy's sake let's say the following doesn't apply to religious debate, but with anything else in life, unless no proof is shown, the law says you are "innocent until proven guilty". A God doesn't simply start existing because a person "believes" it, just like a person isn't convicted of murder because you "believe" he is guilty. Just to put some perspective so you can understand why some parties of the discussion often get frustrated by logical inconsistensies.

Short post but.. Lmao. Sounds like something gramps Simpson would do during his demented rambling. (Not that the guy didn't have a hint of truth to his statement though)

I never understood this either, a piece of electronics isn't an extension of your ego. Without making any deeper psychological analysis, people like that usually have very weak self worth and are quite narcissistic. Whichever phone/computer/etc. has the best hardware and works the best, is the best, regardless of me or you owning it.

You don't believe in hell? Doesn't that contradict your own beliefs? Sly's right on that one, theologically the Bible says absolutely nothing about "eternal damnation". The word which is translated into the English word 'hell' in original scripture is the hebrew word "gehenna", described in the New Testament as a "place where evil will be destroyed". It was literally a burning garbage dump in Jerusalem. Look into the etymology: "Gehenna" comes from Ge Hinnom which is literally Valley of Hinnom." There's no mention of it being some kind of divine punishment, it's described as an actual valley in Jerusalem countless times during the Bible. Read 2 Chronicles 28:3, Joshua 18:16,Nehemiah 11:30: The idea of using the Valley of Hinnom as a 'spiritual hell' is more or less a scare tactic, or dare I say, complete fabrication because it has no truthful basis in the Bible.

Read Campbell's post. The discussion value is zero and can only go towards the worse since people already started giving advice on how you could ruin a stolen account or profit from it.
-
Agree, but then again I find it almost purely an american phenomena, not a British English one.. I speak English as a 3rd language and always found it a bit weird... "I didn't have the guts to ask if he had the money". "You should of!" :x Wondering where this stuff spawns from... Likely, it originates from kids using 'bad english' and it carries all the way to adulthood without people realizing it makes no sense.

Little people with inflated egos and percieving themselves to be above others. A normal person doesn't become a grammar nazi, usually there's overly strict parenting, maybe despising your own physical looks, social exclusion, disappointments in life that lead a person into nitpicking and belittling people over details. People that write stuff incorrectly on purpose are slightly annoying though. Also I'll be honest, when I see a "meme" I sometimes get homicidal urges. Really, once something has been used a million times before, it's not funny anymore -.-

"Are" should be "is", my friend. This is a huge contradiction, for two reasons. Reason one: in your signature, you preach about how Tip.It forum should take a grammar lesson before joining, and yet you have a blatant grammar error here. Reason two: your notion of "95% of the male population of my school are drooling morons" is a complete contradiction seeing you have an aforementioned grammar error in that sentence. Since this somehow turned into grammar nazism, it should be pointed out "are" is also a linguistically acceptable use in the English language if the subject is a person or multiple persons. "Is" would be correct if the subject of the statement was a neutral object, such as "95% of the text in that book is rubbish" As a real world example, "In Canada, 0.5% of the population is born with tourettes syndrome" would also be grammatically incorrect, just as "95% of the male population of my school is drooling morons".

Now that I think of it, I pretty much only know girls/women in RL who play first-person shooters occassionally, not fantasy games. I haven't even met 1 girl who plays WoW or some other MMORPG, though years back I sometimes talked with a RS/Diablo player. Each person is individual regardless of gender, but that would support the thesis in the article which says females want more realistic games.
