There are two weeks left of $5 membership, so I'm buying a year now. I made an order with Paybycash, and I have it ready to mail, but if I'm not able to send it for a while, and they get it by the time membership has risen in price, will they still honor it, since my order number is from a time when it was valid? I just don't want to send seventy bucks off to have it fail, y'know?

You know you're old school when you remember "gtfo teh fire nub".

No, XXXGod this is asking which RS god you follow (mostly), and your real life religion. RS me: Guthix RL me: Athiest (But for the other idea Saradomin/Armadyl = Christian, Zamorak/Zaros = Satanist, Guthix = Buddhist.)

Yeah, by that logic, anyone losing the use of their sexual organs, or becoming infertile, should be shot. Right? Like we really need more and more people added to the population, anyway... Reproduction isn't important to our society, when you really look at it. We have lots of orphans in need of adoption. It's just an argument for lazy homophobes.

But that's what I'm saying here. All generalizations are bad ideas. I *know* that not all Christians hate gays and blacks, which is what my post just then was saying. Or am I not catching the point of what you just said? Because to me it sounded like you just said the same thing as my point.

Stubborn? No, skeptic. At the rest of your post, we know that not all Christians are like Phelps or whatever. That's why we don't hate you, just the people in your religion that prove themselves to be jackasses. Sure, we may call Fundies "Christians" glibly, but that's not exactly a blanket term. If you want respect, you get it (or... not) from your own actions.

I have Leopard, so Boot Camp is already installed, but I don't have a copy of XP, and don't feel like dropping a hundred bucks.

LoZ: Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamlon. Bahahaha.

Eep. I forgot that, like, everyone here is on Windows. Yes, Mac version, plox. Or else I can't play. D:

[hide=Spoilers.] The part I didn't like about the end was that it wasn't an origin story. Remember the flash of him back at his computer at the end? That was supposed to be showing that his "victory", becoming a respected villain, was just a fantasy. In reality, he failed completely. Although I can like tragedy, I felt that this was an... off choice.[/hide]

Mini_Me234's above post is very true. I personally have been harmed, and had my loved ones harmed, through others' religious intolerance. This is the only reason I can put any basis on my own personal intolerance of Christianity. I don't hate Christians for being Christian, I don't judge people based on anything but their own actions. It may be seemingly hypocritical of me to be disgusted by some of these things, but when I see something like... a homosexual friend being verbally abused by a Christian Fundamentalist, I can't help but be angered. I can't respect beliefs like that, so call it Intolerance Intolerance, if you like, but the blood bond, as it can be called, connecting me to my loved ones is more dear to myself as a human than anything else. To anyone who's read the Oresteia, I hope you can see this connection to the Eumenides. I can't look past, and accept these beliefs of others like I wish I could. But it's why I'm as intolerant as I am.

Ask any scientist, and they will agree that it's silly to believe in an Absolute Truth. I capitalise this, because this is "absolute" in a literal sense. Something that cannot be denied, nor changed. The Big Bang is taught in schools because it's the Plausible Truth instead of " ". Red shift, and other evidence of universal expansion from a single point show us what is the current human belief. Scientists, and most humans are open to new ideas if they make sense, if they have evidence.

o rly I see absolutely no plausibility there, other than for the purpose of argument. It's not mathematically sound to believe the two are anything alike. Science gives us the study of everything around us. And forgive my rudeness, but what exactly gives the pope the right to claim absolute truth over everything else? God did, right? Sounds like a bit of a vicious circle to me.

No, I believe in things that can be studied. My life philosophy is to gain knowledge, not believe in something greater than what exists in front of you. Appreciate the world for what it is instead of thinking a giant magic man in the sky will take you to his castle when you die because someone else told you about him. We're on the search for truth, but the idea of truth changes often. Scientific advances help us to understand the earth we live on, you can't say "no, they're lying". It's not about belief, it's about logic.

I didn't like the end. But yeah, this was awesome. A great movement for indie film makers, too.

We are humans. One piece of life on this one planet. This one planet is a speck in the universe. Our Pale Blue Dot is our home, where we came into being, and where we share our being with all the other life swirling around us. Our Pale Blue Dot is a minuscule part of our solar system, which is a minuscule part of our galaxy, which in turn in an infinitesimally small part of the universe. All matter as we know it, all planets, all planetoids, everything we think of as like matter... takes up .03% of the universe. Now how selfish and conceited is it to claim that we know the absolute truth of origin? If any absolute truth at all? That's not divinity you're thinking of. That's hubris. Pure human hubris, thinking they're better than the rest of the life in existence here. It's a human instinct to want to be special. To want to be better than everyone else, but how can one group claim they have a hotline outside the universe? Claim they have all the answers? It's absolutely ridiculous, and offensive.

Ah, but when one transforms into a fanboy, all bets are off. *Insert fgsfds face*

I would get your stomach checked out. Severe bacterial infections can sometimes cause paranoia. And you may want to check it out soon, it could be a developing ulcer. In the meantime, drink cabbage juice. It has enzymes that are absolutely perfect for gastrointestinal infections, and has been proved to have an instant effect on stomach ulcers, neutralizing the bacteria on contact.

If you think it's a choice, then how about you try being gay for a while? See if you can make the choice to fall in love with someone of the same gender, hm? If you can do that, chances are you're bi in the closet. Not making some choice.

The thermos. It keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold. HOW DO IT KNOW. Points if you know the reference.

Yay. Took me a day and a half, and only got me, like, 20k agility and 5k thieving exp, but I'm LOOKIN' GOOD. I'll be wearing that firemaking in Fally W7 until I get members back, haha.

Agreed. The new bank now isn't really THAT great. Not as great as it could be at least.

You deserve hugs, Magekillr. :P

Bahaha. What the hell made me assume it was a kid? Mk, well, death is death. I'm not a particularly anthropic person, but really, shooting to kill doesn't need to happen. Not with the kind of nonlethal technology we have now.

Are you referring to boss rooms or just in the Dungeon? If it's not in the boss rooms, I believe I remember reading on the update page that cannons weren't allowed, and if it's in the boss room, even if you can set it up, it would be destroyed.
