Are ... you serious ? This is a dangerous attitude to have. "Who is here so base that would be a bondman? " And why would it be a dangerous attitude?

Beliefs, Religion and Faith.
If a female driving against a car is against the law in Saudi and she drove, then i'm sure she was fully aware of the consequences. Whether or not it is moral or immoral is irrelevant. She broke the law and got the just punishment. Personally i believe it's a bit stupid, and i see no reason for such extremes. But it does not go against my moral standing. She broke the law regardless of how sensible said law is. I know i might sound a bit contradictory with what i just said, so to make it clear: I do believe it's a stupid law. I do not believe her punishment was unjust. What gives me the right to say that: freedom of speech. I believe it is a human right. Are you going to question that too? Also, once again, it would be the law-maker that said it. Not me. But if i remember correctly there's still, to this day, a lot of discussion on when a person gains legal personality. There are many that believe it to begin at conception and many that believe it to begin at separation. The latter being the one in use at the moment, i think. Whether or not is is a bad example (or ridiculous) is not relevant. If you want to give one non-living being a right, why not give them all a right. Again, personal opinion. If you're against abortion, then so be it. I couldn't care less. All i'm saying is that expecting someone to care for a baby conceived as a result of rape, you might be a bit out of like. Whether you choose to agree or not is your choice. I'll try make you see my point, i'lll try understand yours. We'll agree to disagree and we'll move on. And, if you want to steal because you believe you have the right to do so, then so be it. Go steal. What gives law-makers the right to choose for everyone else? I believe you're asking the wrong person. Might want to try asking one of them.

What would be a good price to sell it for? I tried looking around on RSOF where i found troll threads selling for 150m and other threads selling anywhere from 45m - 80m. I tried looking in w2 and only saw people selling, not buying. So i have no idea what a good price would be. Halp?

"The law says this, so I don't know why anyone else would say differently." Wasn't trying to be disrespectful. It just seems like you completely trust the law. If I offended, I did not mean to. I don't get it. You quote me saying the law does not claim a fetus to be a living being and therefore cannot have right. How does that make me a worshiper of the law. How is that claiming the law to be always right? I said i don't see why anyone should go against it. That is all. And i'm not offended, just confused. Worried that i might not be making myself very clear.

Lol Duff you're funny. Quote me where i claim the law to be always right, please. And where i make it seem like i worship it. Maybe then i can start taking you serious again. I make 2 posts regarding law and now i worship is. Funny. You're heading down the "I have something to say, but it will only sound valid if i pretend like he claimed something when he really didn't" road. I cannot take someone serious if he needs to do that to make his point seem stronger. And again, you're saying you can't understand why there is so much hate towards the unborn child. I cannot help you with that. If you're seriously telling me you don't understand why someone would hate a child conceived of rape, that's your own problem. The child is only born because of what you call a "sin" and i call i crime. The child was not wanted. Now sure, you might ask if i would have the same feelings towards a love-child. No, that child was not forcefully put inside of you. That child was not conceived on the most horrifying moment of your life. That child will not be a constant reminder of that moment. You won't have to fear that the child (if a boy) gets the same animalistic instinct as his rapist father. You will not have to fear the child committing suicide when he finds out his father was a rapist and that's the only reason you're alive. Off topic i know.

Added a question to the OP.

Beliefs, Religion and Faith.
Cheating on your spouse is not wrong in the eyes of the law. Would you say that cheating on your spouse is not an immoral action? And what gives the "law" the authority to define the rights available to a fetus? We don't know what God expects in situations like that. Many Christians claim to know, but the beliefs of many Christians are not biblical and founded on old traditions that have no basis in theology, etc. Additionally, whether or not you agree with a god's moral standing is irrelevant to the existence of said God. Actually, the fact that you believe that any specific action can have a moral index assigned to it goes to show you believe in some sort of higher power. Although adultery itself is not a crime, it has many legal consequences. Like i sad though, only a living being can have rights. Since a fetus is not yet a living being (ie. able to breath on its own) it can have no laws to protect it. Except in cases where habeas corpus is applied. If you want non-living things to have the same rights as living beings, then why not have laws that protect pencils, books, glasses, etc. And just because i believe something to be moral or immoral does not mean i believe in a higher power. I believe it is immoral to steal. I believe that, because you should not be allowed to take what does not belong to you. I believe that there should be punishment for it. It has nothing to do with me believing or not believing in a higher power. It's a personal opinion. Nothing more.

oh my, speaking of irony.... so lets get this straight. Demonising people for exercising control over their own bodies,prevent children from growing up in poverty as their parents cant afford them, or like in this case to prevent almost certain perment disability or death due to her being 9 years old because hey, more babies need to be pumped out DOESNT count as haterd of women? to add to the horror of the rape shes going to have to endure people harrassing her and calling her a murderer for the rest of her life because of the dogma you and they subscribe to, if that doesnt register as hatred to you then quite frankly youre beyond reasoning. so congratulations on having such a lack of self awareness that you prove exact what you were trying to deny. Yeah i kind of have to side with Locke on this one. And, speaking of rape and abortion... I don't see how a god and his churches and his followers could be so cruel and call someone who aborts a rape child a sinner or a murderer. An unborn child (fetus) still has no life nor rights. It's not a person in the eyes of the law. So if in the eyes of the law it's not murder i don't see why anyone one else should classify it as that. But that's not the point anyway. What i really want to say is that i don;t get how a god and his people can expect a rape victim to keep a child conceived as a result of the rape. I doubt there are many women strong enough to raise the child like their own and not hate it. Back in South Africa a girl and her family were forced out of the church down the road from us because she had an abortion. Her boyfriend forced himself on her. The whole church was in an uproar about this. Everyone going nuts because she killed her unborn baby. She made the point that if she had kept the baby chances were that she would have killed it at a later stage anyway. And afterwards she would have probably killed herself. Just the thought of having a baby conceived by rape sickened her and made her hate every second she had the fetus in her. No one really understood this because everyone claimed it to be a gift from god. Really? You call getting raped and having a constant reminder of that terrifying experience a gift? They say god is just. He is gracious, kind and understanding. Why can he not understand then? Why can't his people understand then...

You really suck at making fun of people. Give it a break. I was pointing out how he thought it necessary to point out there was a girl on the team by using a funny reaction image. Chillax kid You just proved Turnpike's point. Good job.

Honestly, as ignorant as it is, i don't care when it was formed nor how it was formed. All i know is that i'm here now. I shouldn't have to care about how i got here or who put me here. If god wants his life back, he's more than welcome to take it back. I'm not really interested in physics or science at all, so i've never cared to find out how or when the earth was formed.

Today...
Really frustrating day today. Had to go do hopping for trousers for uni. Almost none of the stores in the whole of Qatar sell a size 30.... Its either 32 or nothing. We managed to find 3 places though that did sell them. M&S had some, but the legs were so short it looked like my pants are afraid of touching my shoes, the other pair was $400 and honestly there's no way in hell i'm spending that on stupid black trousers and the third pair was a keeper. I needed three though, they only had one. So tomorrow i'm off the find a decent tailor and i'll just get them tailor made. I need to find shoes too. My god, i just want a normal pair of "school shoes". Can't find that anywhere either. During this fun little expedition we also tried finding my dad a birthday present. He turns 50 soon so my mom wanted to go big and buy him a Rolex. I never realised just how expensive they are. I think the cheapest one we saw was about $ 6 500? And then it's the plainest of plain watches you can think of. The really nice ones start at about $8 000 -.- So i don't know how my mom feels about that. I'm just hoping she bites the bullet and gets it because i'm not up for "present hunting" the whole week until she finally finds something else he might like.

Beliefs, Religion and Faith.
I used to be really religious. I tried living my life by the book. As i understood religion, and as we are told in church, if you life your life by the book (Bible) good thing will come your way. I was in church every Sunday morning and Sunday evening from the age of 11 to the age of 16. I did charity work for the church. We donated out 1/10th and more, whenever we could. I would pray countless times each day. I would be called a "jesus-freak" at school now and then. Things went the way they would normally go. Then about when i was 13 my dad lost his job. Company had to downsize and seeing as he was one of the newest employees there, he got cut first. We saw that as a test of faith. Then my dad worked here and there on and off for about 3 years. We were so deep in dept, you could not even begin to understand. Still my parents it as a test of faith, i saw it as "god" taking the piss. Few weeks later my dad got offered a job in Qatar. Things started going well blah blah blah. My parents were firm believers that it was god finally giving them what they deserve. My dad studied his ass off for 5 years to get his degree. He grew up on a farm and had to put himself thought university. You give god the credit for that? No, it was not god giving us what we deserve, it was my dad finally getting to where he's always wanted to be. No god helped hi get there. My point is that why would a go that created us to his own image, created us to be happy, live our lives, etc. put us through so much pain and hurt before giving us some happiness? Is it some kind of game? Why do we get threatened that if we do not serve him, we go to hell. I thought we had free will. Should we not be allowed in heaven if we lived a good life regardless of whom we served? And then we get to the next point. AIDS, deformed children, poverty, rape, murder, theft. If this god is so good and so great, why not punish those who ruin the lives of his children? Does he like to see us get hurt? Or is he actually so pathetic that he NEEDS criminals to hurt us so we would go running to him. I gave up on religion the day i realised that believing in a god put so many limits on life as a teenager/young adult that life was just not fun. And ever since then my life could not have been better. I didn't really need to dig into the whole science vs. faith thing to realise that, although i wish i had because maybe then things would have been clearer a bit sooner. Also, i feel the whole religious things takes away a lot of self-gratification. A lot of my friends back in South Africa are christians. Whenever something good happens to them you'd see a status in FaceBook saying "God is so good. He made X happen/He let me get X" or whatever.Do those people not realise that had it not been for THEMSELVES and THEIR OWN hard work they would have never gotten there? I pitty them. Thanking a figment of their imaginations for their achievements. Then there's also the whole Muslim suicide bombing thing. People running into buildings with bombs strapped around their waste claiming that it was the will of Allah. Now that just speaks for itself. Do we really want to believe in a God that is willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of innocent people just to make his point. I smell a power hungry animal. All of what i have said now are just examples from the modern day. There are plenty more examples in the bible that suggest that god is petty and power hungry.

I've lost 2 chaotics which might explain why i don't have an ASN yet. And to be honest i never really used mage anywhere. But i guess i should get one then.
-
Need some help with Glacors.
How important is ASN in regards to achieving a high kill rate? I don't have one at the moment but getting one won't take too long. And what about SoL vs. Chaotic Staff? Is the time spent getting it worth the extra boost?

Need some help with Glacors.
I've got about 270 of them under the belt. It's been going good but i'm still having some issues with my gear setup and getting a higher kill rate. At the moment i'm using Void Mage, Deflector, Barrows Gloves, SW Cape, Ragefire Boots, Onyx (i), Fury, SoL. Void Melee Switch + Rapiers for minions. I'm getting about 35 kills per hour, 40 at most. I admit that i waste about 2 or 3 kills per hour logging my drops, but i'm more concerned about the other 10 per hour i'm losing. Does my setup need some refining? I've tried using Ahrims, Neit, Mage Book with a D Def + Rapier switch but i haven't been having much luck with that. Can anyone suggest a better setup? EDIT: New Question - Enduring. Best way to kill it? Rapier seems to hit a lot of 0's and sub 80s. I've tried rapier on Slash and Stab and both seem to be the same. Steel Titan doesn't hit at all, i'm guessing Enduring is immune to Familiars. I'm pretty much as far away from the Glacor as i can be. Any tips?

hardest 99 skill level?
Just because a skill is time consuming (Slayer) does not make it "hard". Hard would imply high apm needed, high concentration to achieve a decent (or the best) exp per hour and would take would take longer than the average skill to train. The only two that stand out are Agility and Runecrafting. Slayer should not be considered as hard but rather just as slow. You can afk slayer half the time and still achieve above average exp rates. With Agility and Runecrafting you can't thus making them the "hardest".
