aliens--yes, probability thing. If there are a billion planets a few are bound to end up with (advanced) life. ghosts--not sure, never experienced anything to convince me but it would be wrong to just denounce it.

why be subtle though, if god were to truly reveal himself in magnificent fashion he could greatly reduce human suffering and bring many to salvation. I fail to see how tasking people with finding their own salvation makes it worthwhile. Secondly, if the bible is the word of god why do so many great people come about without believing in it. Einstein was an agnostic(formerly jewish) but noone would deny the amazing things he did and his good character. A good portion of scientists working on such varying things as cancer and hiv cures are certain to be agnostics or atheists, why are they such noble men if they arent following what is true? If the word of god isnt the only path is it really the word of god, does one not find a better path by striving to understand the logical reality of the universe and the sublime beauty within?

people that flaunt acting depressed and wear black outfits of varyingly outragous nature.

sure I see no reason not to draft woman; however, I do think if we get down to taking one person out of a family it should be the father. If that sounds sexist my apologies, but in general woman are better natural caretakers then men, and since were talking about drafting a lot of people general trends do matter.

A woman being pregnant all on her own is different then a woman being pregnant through cloning of in vitro.

So its okay to suffer because we can make it good? That seems like a very convienent cop out to me. I dont like logic that is clearly self covering, if god is infinitely powerful how is it he cant find a better way of improving us then suffering? Would it not make sense that god revealing his "divine" presence to the world would save many "sinners"? Im not familiar with specifics so I need an answer first does the bible state all human souls were in heaven before they were on earth? If so I ask the question what was gained from sending us here.

chaning it so they become unagressive after 10 mins just means you have to check back after 10 minutes, not really killing afk you could remove monster aggresiveness but then few areas would be dangerous as intended. Any area with aggresive monsters becomes a potential afk spot.

Do you walk when you alch? it picks up arrows when not moving, I believe the rate is slower though.

you should hear how I say them lol sine said right cos said as cost without the t tan said tan csc said cosec sec said like sex but with a c at the end cot said like a cot you lay on

life sprouting from chemicals is not as complex as god because it could be understood by a human, if I recall the bible specifically says god is beyond human understanding(wording may be different) the earth is the perfect distance from the sun due to the anthropic principle, life isnt going to "generate" where it cant live. For a practical example, you wont find a snake in antartica because it cant live there agreed, the attempts at illogical questions arent good, I do ask though, can god kill/decreate himself? Which amounts to is god a being or a force? Time does exist, its relative but it never moves backward. One second passing here isnt one second the universe, but change is occuring in a forward direction everywhere. Time goes on forever because conservation of mass proves that what exists now cannot cease to exist. If god can change anything at any time, then I find him at fault for allowing every single murder througout time. Just because you made the choice to shoot the president(for instance) doesnt mean god cant give you a seizure to stop it. If we already had free will, then god allowing the devil to come to earth(knowing he had bad intentions) is allowing evil to propagate. From my understanding of the bible, adam and eve were "perfect" in behavior before they ran into the devil. So its logical to assume that its possible we would still be in eden if god hadnt allowed the devil to come to earth. Now that leads me to think god was perfectly fine with all human suffering since he did nothing to discourage it occuring.

what if you dont have shades? :lol: I have to mention In my home state of West Virginia(not western virginia) its legal to take home roadkill if you call the game warden. Not really useless, but amusing that we actually made a law to legalize it.

wasnt this proposed as how Jesus came about at some point? on topic, if it is ever proven then thats awesome on the we learned something level, the extremely limited occurence of the gene makes me feel it will never really matter even if it is proven. Only potential would be implanting this in a lot of woman and making amazonia one question, can the woman have a male child? Im not familiar with the possibility for the y chromosome in this case.

excluding the mentioned proxy wars(vietnam korea) there was no fighting associated with the cold war. This guy is clearly making stuff up and has to be dealt with. Hopefully you make it to a comprehensive class later and learn proper history. ask him why we never used our nukes during the great war and see the reaction you get.

because that isnt exciting maybe? eh personally I dont have a taste for cockfighting but there are bigger problems in the world. It should probably be outlawed eventually but its not exactly something I put on the top 50 things I care about

Yet such people do not reflect the true Catholic doctorine. For instance pedophilia is considered a sin. Would you still consider them Catholics? So where do we get our morals from? Also knowing about the saving grace of God and not telling anyone, is in my opinion more selfish. Either people listen or don't. If they call themselves catholic they need to be counted as such, its a given if we only take good moral people from religion as the sample of religion they will have a higher average morality. Thing is I can just take only moral non believers and look just as good. How can you define such a subjective and abstract concept in terms of pure numbers. If anything, the religion that allows these deeds to go unpunished for long periods of time, should all be counted as "evil" and as such, according to your logic - the average "morality" would be close to 0. We get our morality from development of a sense of right and wrong over time. From Where? Who? How ? Who do we learn from ? Our peers, who are we influenced by - our parents, whether you like it or not, your views about morality are going to be skewed any way you look at it. From a very young age, we are indoctrinated into a scheme or "wrongs" and "rights". Cut and defined - thus punishable acts, have no more bearing or weightage than a jail term. The bible and other religious texts are culminations of moral codes at the time they were written, with some modern or progressive philosophy added. As explained in the earlier part of my quote, your "innate" values are instilled to you, not by some divine higher force but the elements and the environment surrounding you. Given, that some basic codes of law, still apply today, thou shalt not..., these have been preserved only due to the sublimation of religion into many early judicial systems, nothing more nothing less. a. I cant define it in pure numbers, but someone claimed that religous people were more moral, Im debunking that claim b. I agree, the point is morality develops through general cultural progression, not the hand of god. c. any reason you posted this to agree with me? I said the bible was basically a recording of moral codes and you basically agree.

lolwut? Bunyip is 68 summoning. hes got 72 summoning, so he can use the lvl 68 bunyip OT as said bunyip is better in general but unicorn is better at strong stuff

I would also note that just world hopping will probably find you a near empty world with at least 2 people maybe just go to the tzhaar and ask someone to help?

I was going to defend the Obama thing as a decent metaphor until I saw his username :lol: On topic, I dont get why everyone criticizes jagex, most of the complaints are about something useless and honestly jagex does a decent job after they debug initial releases.

your still being horribly subjective. I didnt gain modship by "pumping out reports and helping players with cheesy falseness" so your point is null. If a player asks me for help how is it taking a "hey look at me" approach? If you have a problem with me being helpful so be it, Im going to be the same guy with or without a crown, the crown just results in more questions. Your "I am the law" statement is entirely fruitless, you want players to exercise common sense but you dont want me to help people with rules confusion if they ask? so its better to allow players to have an unsatisfying game experience, but its not okay to encourage self regulation? Wasnt your rant started because you dealt with some bad players who had an undeserved mod status? Since weve shown that bad players cause in game problems trying to limit player reporting is just going to cause more problems. Players that "snitch" are seperate from players that legitimately report, lets stop generalizing here its just unfair to good people. No I have nearly zero programming experience, I am however aware that true artificial intellgence which you are suggesting is currently highly infeasible.

No, that's the sort of stuff that starts World Wars. Maybe, just maybe, if the West doesn't try to get involved in everything in an attempt to police the world, Nothing bad will happen. I mean, just because they're testing weapons doesn't mean they're prepping for war. America's still making new weapons; there's even a television series about the newest war machines and how badly they'd destroy anyone in their way. Futureweapons. Do you genuinly believe North Korea has peaceful intentions? Dictatorial countries pursuing nuclear weapons sends up a few red flags with me, and from their actions we have no reason to believe it is anything other then preparing for war.

1. your basically saying that rulebreaking isnt a problem because players can use the ignore list. Its valid that you can ignore, but why should jagex tolerate rule breaking in any respect? 2. I fail to see your line of reasoning, you say mods arent necessary because players can ignore but you want an auto report system to tighten up the game? Those are two contradictory positions, my desire for uniform rule reinforcement isnt. As Ive said repeatedly, an auto report system could replace mods, but since a good enough system cant be made it shouldnt. Why should we start switching from imperfect system to imperfect system just because you dont like mods? 3. your point? Im sure that every person in an elected or appointed position takes some pride in their position so unless your accusing me of being human I dont see the merit. You can try to overstate my ego, but I honestly dont care about my status if losing it meant something better for the overall rs community 4. your basis of mods not working is based mostly on you not liking them and them not being perfect. Yet, your suggestion for a solution would be even less perfect, and would most likely cause more complaints from the community as a whole. Why would a player that doesnt like mods want a robot playing mod and reporting as it pleases? At least with human mods you can reprimand them for excessive use of reporting, a computer censor would need fixed for every case it was determined to be too strict or too lenient.

oh so your going to somehow give jagex a system that learns what is profanity, my apologies I was under the impression we were talking about reality. Im with sees all, you can deny every point we make but since the logic of mutually exclusive is a joke to you its clear to me you cant handle actual debate. Mods have purpose because they can instant mute advert bots, which is a benefit to the game. Mods have status because they have a marking that differentiates them from other players You can deny the use of mods but the fact stands they have accurate uses which gives them a purpose. Your personal hatred of mods is irrelevant to the fact that jagex(a multimillion dollar company) believes they are needed, and Im willing to side with the company of people paid to make the game work. If a perfect auto reporting system could work then mods would become obsolete, since your so sure it will work use this alleged programming skill you have and tell jagex how to do it.

if that was just a question my apologies for interpreting but opposing killing animals for the fun of it and opposing killing them for food are very different.

just make sure when you do situps and such you do them slowly and deliberately, makes it a lot harder but you will feel an actual improvement in like 3 days.
