What makes a good tipit member?
By fights, I mean ones that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. Attacking someone's posting style or the person themselves, for instance. But if someone's posting style is not conducive to debate, it must be rectified, otherwise by definition they aren't a good Tip.It member.

Hurricane Irene
It always makes disasters sadder when people start invoking God by claiming the disasters are God's punishment on man for x or y. Falwell blamed the gays for 9/11. And now bat[cabbage] crazy Bachmann is essentially blaming Obama's economic policy.

Manage the Kingdom
I think this would be a perfect way of increasing interactivity and depth in the game. Full support. :thumbup:

Food
My mate just made me some kadayif. For those of you who haven't been to Turkey/have Turkish friends, it looked similar to this image I found on google. It's very sweet.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
In the time it took him to type all of that without using any sort of spell check I typed "love" into Google and got a simple, readable sentence. I hate how he just manages to sound like an illiterate and a tool at the same god damn time. "Is that a good definition :P " -- no.

The adventures of Tintin
I'm personally not looking forward to it. I preferred the days when Tintin was filled with crude racial stereotypes, such as:

Jiblix and Ken Genosis Demodded Over Speaking Out
As I said in my last post, you can vote multiple times on the same game. If you ask me, it's properly Jagex who's tampering with votes since they seem to be the only company desperate to win that award. :thumbsup: This is probably true.

Republicans. This. If the GOP didn't exist, I might consider moving to the US one day.

Are you for/against botters?
The economic side-effects of botting are unsustainable. The communal side-effects of botting are unsustainable. I have no idea how someone couldn't be against.

The Archaeology Skill - (Surprise on Page 26!)
True. But that's no reason for abandoning this idea - it's absolutely brilliant.

That letter was a pretty sad read. Thanks for posting it.

The Financial Mess
I'd be interested to see an argument from those who believe the euro is viable long-term as to exactly why, without fiscal (and/or political) union. Even Eurobonds come under that category, so I really can't see how they could argue that the euro is viable simply as it is. It'd make for interesting discussion.

Real life help & advice
Don't tell them until they need to know? That said, a lot of people having confusing sexual feelings in their teens - you may change your mind again or start feeling differently. (not to say you're lying). This is very sound advice, Maze. Our culture expects people to reach maturity far too early and leads them to confusion. Being serious, I know people who've come out as gay or bi only to renege years later because they took their teen feelings too seriously - this happened in Britain, where gayness is accepted by all political groups and clinics to 'cure' gays don't exist, so the chance that he reneged because of societal pressure is very low. If you were "bisexual for years and didn't know it", there's also a chance that you didn't know it because you're actually not. I hope I'm making sense without trying to deny you your sexuality.

I didn't know flies got cancer. Stop being a prat. This isn't the thread to make [cabbage] jokes.

Burger King Decapitates Its 'King' Mascot
They quite often used the King in the adverts, especially in more recent ones. They were a lil funny but not too great. Really? I've lived in the UK since I was an infant and I've never seen the King in this country. Then again, I don't watch much TV.

Christ. I remember reading about him stepping down temporarily last month; I had no idea he was so ill. RIP.

Jiblix and Ken Genosis Demodded Over Speaking Out
But it's short-sighted, because doing so creates a PR disaster.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
I really hate most journalists who write opinion pieces for a living. Probably because they have to write like two unique articles a week or whatever, but they just spout crap and seem totally ignorant about 95% of the things they write about.

Jiblix and Ken Genosis Demodded Over Speaking Out
If RS were newly released in its current incarnation in 2011, it'd flop quicker than you'd believe. It only became successful in 2001 because it was a bit like a 90s game, and by the standards of the time it wasn't too far behind.

Hollywood potrayals of computer usage
^ Some of it is just so absurd, but simultaneously completely unexciting, that stupidity and ineptitude must also factor in there somewhere.

Jagex: Guide to ruining botting.
This is where the chat timer comes into place... and it logs out every 6 hrs so goodbye overnight botting. either way its a pretty big burden. Chat tiemr would be undone by a bot that ahs an autotyper built in. Just have it say "I love woodcutting" every half an hour. And admittedly it could stifle botting to a degree, but botters would adapt as well. (Aka swing by to log their bots back in ever morning and evening.) It would slow them down though, which is good. It wouldn't stop it outright at all, though. Just make it a bit less convenient. What pmod or jmod is going to not see i love woodcutting every half an hour? Im here to making botting as inconvenient as possible :D But the flaw in making botting inconvenient is that by default you also inconvenience legit players.

Norwegian Ambassador claims that terrorism against Israel is morally acceptable
I fail to see quite which country you are referring to with your point. I don't know of an Islamic country that combines the church and the state. Maybe once we've cleared that up we can proceed. Any country, really. Gabe mentioned Sharia, so I'm just curious as to what he thinks of Jewish or canon law being enforced as it is in Israel -- if the people involved in such a private matter choose to use it to settle civil disputes, they can do so. Why does he bring up Sharia but fail to mention those? Oh I see. I misunderstood you. I am personally a secularist who is against all religiously based codes of law, and as such I am not in much of a position to answer the question.
