Finally, eh? http://www.news.com.au/technology/kids-banned-from-violent-computer-games-under-new-r18-system/story-e6frfro0-1225965778782 Though they've gone and pussified the existing classifications, turning a lot of previously MA 15+ ratings into R 18+. 15 year olds are just sooooo sensitive to mature themes (lol ffs). At least Australians will not have to put up with the utter slaughter of games in the name of censorship anymore... hopefully...

Honestly, the world's government should just stfu about this whole wikileaks thing, they're just getting angry about not being able to hide their corruption. Then they try to label the people responsible as criminals (backed up by twisted accusations). They're the criminals, geez. It's an utter disgrace. Pathetic how the US government wants Assange dead even though they have no authority over him. Whatever happened to [bleep]ing free speech. Now they've blocked wikileaks in the US, idiots, internet censorship does not work.

I don't think wanting to have more has to be linked with a passion for life. You can simply want nothing at all and still have a passion for life. Yes, it's very subjective.

Which is a kind of greed. Greed is want, and you *want* to be recognised. I suppose. The problem is that we associate recognition with monetary wealth and monetary wealth with recognition. People are often malicious while attempting to horde wealth.

I would say the thirst for success/wealth is just a mask thrown over what we really want (to be recognised for our worth by other humans). The reward is shallow. I would also argue that passion for life comes as a result of wanting to be recognised.

We are not doing good or bad. We are just doing, and our minds can perceive that in whichever way it wants to. If you and I see a tree and you call it beautiful and I call it ugly then what is the tree? It is neither beautiful or ugly, the tree itself is just a tree no matter what the label. I can label the tree a pig, it doesn't matter. It is what it is and nothing more or less. And yes this thirst for something that ultimately is false may lead to humans to become extinct, or it might not. But I can not say if this is a good or a bad thing. Maybe nature has extinction instead of existence in store for humans. So be it. What do you mean by the bolded statement? What's ultimately false? Also, I might add, eventually all things must come to an end; it's just a matter of how long we can last. Our desire to exponentially consume while putting little to no value on the environment. Also, recent discoveries point towards multiple 'big bangs', so the universe itself perhaps will not end.

He's enthusiastic, i'll give him that. derp overload D:

I've never done rune armor, but if you can get over 2k tokens in less than 30min with rune armor, then it's faster. Of course, you need access to the salt-water spring in Ooglog and ~90 strength.

Yep, that's what I said. Was half-joking =P

It will take a cataclysm worthy of wiping out all of humanity to prevent that from happening. Ironic?

There's a difference between unchanging and sustainable. There will be a breaking point. I would not be surprised if we have already crossed the threshold.

I'm still amazed how much you guys are able to extract from this seemingly shallow topic.

I just hax'd like 2.3k guild tokens using ooglog spring + 22lb shots in less than 30 minutes XD I'm guessing we will need ~1000 tokens to make an attempt at the d defender. Maybe less. Perhaps we might only need to have a rune defender? Naa, I doubt.

A system of finite resources cannot systain indefinite expansion. Sooner or later we are going to screw ourselves over beyond repair. Sure, humanity will persist regardless, but will it be a life worth living? A select greedy few will have complete control over any means of survival, most people will be born into danger and starvation. Society has taught us to be this way. We still have not let go of our primal urges and we're just blank slates as children. I didn't say progression was a bad thing, but economic growth can hardly be considered progression. If anything it holds back true progression. Greed is exactly like religion, it played a huge role in our rise to the top, but it is not necessary anymore (doing more harm than good).

*nods* curses are pretty crazy. I always manage to get my ass handed to me in a duel against high level curses. I'll keep the balloon thing in mind.

This whole remix album is incredible XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3uTSRoMfvs

You keep all the talismans, so no worries. Also you can just talk to her to get another if you lose it.

:thumbup:

I'm sure it will look more vicious than a red carrot ._. I just hope they don't use the dragon longsword design as a reference for the blade bit.

+1 to this

Like I said, humanity took up the reigns to protect this planet when it decided to be the dominant species (and so far scored null in this regard). We can't justify our wrong-doings with: 'after all, we're just another product of nature, therefore our actions are a natural occurance'. We should know better. By that logic everything is a natural occurance, therefore we don't need to go about changing anything because we deserve to be tyrants, it's our role. So far the intelligence that has lead to much of our scientific discoveries have been bastardized into a form of destruction/control.

And your trolling You're* OP, I'm much the same as you. I'm currently going for 200m firemaking xp with willows. It really gets on my nerves when noobs force me against my will to burn magics, even though I don't find them fun at all. I'm at my wit's end with these idiots. I seriously hope that this is sarcasm. That was kind of a given X]

so true

I think the dragon defender will have +7 strength to keep in line with the dragonfire shield. I'm probably wrong though.
