  1. Ares the man takes a card and then smiles He gets a cup and balances it on his forehead, then, reaching for his other cup, pours the drink from the other cup to the one on his head. Then holds for 5 seconds, then takes it off.
  2. Jen makes another mountain wet...nothing much seems to have happen.
  3. Grim- And the Pyramid collapsing was.... :rolleyes:
  4. (Major...Every minor city so far too...And most of the random houses you have come across...)
  5. I am just gonna update the list then I will start. (I meant....Jen has a child and tries to foist it on Grim to destroy Grim's home...) :roll:
  6. Grim- Yeah, I don't see why not. Provided you did some sort of 'never true death' ritual to make it resurrect when it died.
  7. Retech...how are you going to use a child as a weapon of mass annihiliation? "Grim, would you mind looking after Jen-Junior, she can be a hanfful" *Two hours later* Pan shot of the firey remains of a brimstone tower...
  8. Actually yes, you can have kids. You can go out, have a totally degenerate sex life and gain the much coverted 'sex' skill. But it does sort of put your sex life, as it were, on the internet. (I would say try to avoid doing so when Ross is GMing though) Kids would behave as people, not familiars. They would need protecting and such.
  9. Well most of them are on the argument thread. In actuality some people just Pmed me....
  10. I just read 'Earth to Space Hegehog' and burst out laughing.
  11. Actually you don't need the second comma, since it is followed by the word 'and'. Thus, if you removed the clause, as you can do with clauses, you would get an incorrect sentance. IE. When I speak Finnish and it sounds silly because everyone uses slang. Now follows the the 17 reasons why: 1)It is not an instuction to pause at this point, since pausing at this point should specifically be a full stop or a semicolon and the 'and' should be removed, since they are otherwise complete sentance. 2)You couldn't be using it as an introduction, since you are already two clauses into the sentance. 3)If you removed the clause, as you can do with clauses, you would get an incorrect sentance. IE. When I speak Finnish and it sounds silly because everyone uses slang. 4)Its not before direct speech 5)Its not an address 6)It is not either side of a parenthetical phrase or clause. 7)Its not a list of items. 8)It is not a large number 9)It is not a non-restrictive clause 10)It is not before or after an appositive. 11)It is not between a dependant clause and an independant clause. The first comma is an example of this though. 12)It is not a consecutive adjective 13)In front of a a conjunctive which links two independant clauses. Since you can almost never start a sentance with 'And' it is not an independant sentance. Unless you are a fan of the serial comma. But even then you are not introducing a new idea, since you are expanding on the point that you sound like you reading from a book. 14)You have not omitted a word 15)You are not emphasising a verb 16)You are not opening or closing a written letter 17)It is not before the word 'too' when it means 'also' Thus it should be: "When I speak Finnish, which is rarely, I speak too formally - like I am reading the words from a book. I think his sounds silly, since everyone, in Finland, uses slang." First and second comma indicate a parenthetical clause. The dash to introduce an additional piece of information. The full stop to seperate two sentances, though they could be joined it would be messy. The third comma opens a second clause. The forth and fifth comma indicates a parenthetical clause, since there is the need to be specific. Or "When I speak Finnish I speak too formally and it sounds silly; everyone in Finland uses slang." The semicolon shows there is a link between the two points, even though tehy are both complete sentances. Or, if I was going to write it. "In Finland everyone uses slang, so when I speak, in my formal tone, I sound silly." First comma indicates a conjunctive, followed by a new idea. Second and third comma indicates a parenthetical clause.
  12. I think...basically...No one did anything because I locked the thread...then Rocco's computer broke and I had a few conversations with people about 'The end' and then Rocco came back and things starting moving again. I think, even though the power ratings for the ships are currently upto date and on display people will still be annoyed when their fleet gets destroyed by an enemy they thought was inferior, which will hopefully draw people into a nice big war, which will help everyone relax after this silly period just recently where everyone got highly strung. On a subject mildly unrelated to invasions can I get surface maps for Harrakis and Valasmaa
  13. 1) Any orientation can be explained as genetics...or as a test from god... It is expained logically and reasonably...God is logically accurate since there must have been something to create the universe and naturally it could not exist within the universe and therefore must be more powerful than the universe...and thus is God, since everything within science is within the universe. It is reasonably explained as the fact that human beings can 'overcome' their genetics, as they have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years...Baden Powel is an example of a gay person actively 'fighting' their genetic predisposition to be gay and live a straight life. Thus logic and reason are not 100% Truth seekers; they are tools, tools dependant on a person's life time experiances. The idea that a Rapists is out to rape as many people as possible is offensive, please don't use it. It is as offensive as the idea that, as a gay person, I am out to have sex with as many men as possible. The cost of not letting rapists live their lives as they chose is their personal suffering. The cost of letting them live their lives is societal suffering. There is no difference between that and homosexuality.(In this respect) Or is it riots and then 200 years of hardship and even then the threat of being assassinated(As in the US President's case) is still excessive. That isn't progress...That is anti-progress, it is progress masquerading in the clothes of Progress. 2) Ahhh the insanity! You should watch 'Its a Good Life', an episode of the Twilight Zone. Everyone has to think happy thoughts or they are killed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMKniBHPU9c A. Rapists have the human right to be free, yet imprisoning them takes away that right... Rights have to be taken away occationally. B. I would rather people spit in my face that have people shake my hand wishing they could kill me. c. Watch 'Its Still a Good Life' another episode of the Twilight Zone. Or better yet...From now on say you think Rape is a good idea, do that for two years and see if, after 2 years, you think that rape is a good idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOFKdWk8Ink 3) No. I am suggesting that a world society should change and then it is implemented... You don't build a house on a swamp and then try to drain it. You Drain the swamp then build a house on the land that has been reclaimed. Why would you have to shoot yourself? Surely that indicates a fairly massive problem with your morality...that the only way to make the world better is to get rid of yourself. YES! "IF PEOPLE DID NOT SACRFICE SOME OF THEIR FREEDOM" You can't sacrifice someone else's freedom, you have to sacrifice your own freedom! Giving up power to the Government is done with the strictist intent that you will be represented...not that you will have stuff forced on you and you have to live with it. 4) I can take it in greater certainity that while gayness is something which you either accept or you deny there will be no progress. Homosexuality is not talked about. People do not ask questions and if they do they are often left with the stupid answers that don't help....People want to understand but they are never given the chance...Now you want to take away one of the remaining forums of discussion where people can talk about homosexuality as a concept, rather than a self-evident truth. 5&6) Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise. Obviously by that token, not allowing it...Forcing the reality that 'Gay people will NEVER marry'....Will also work. Except that it hasn't worked. Homosexuality has been perscuted for thousands of years, it has not died out. Forcing the reality that 'Homosexuality does not exist' has not lead to the destruction of homosexuality. I fail to see how the application of this idea will work when you reverse the sitatuation. Anti-homosexuality will not die out, it will merely become repressed because we will be the intolerant ones...not them. 7) Its not really important to this discussion. Lets just drop it. 8) Neither does the minority. It must accept that its actions have consquences and that these consquences prevent them from doing something. Sorry, but are you American? You are saying that America should become gay friendly so it can tell other countries that they are evil? That is an offensive idea...The idea that, not only must we stamp out anti-homosexuals in this country we must stamp out ALL anti-homosexuals in all countries! We must purge the planet of anti-homosexuals! All people must believe what we claim to believe! I may sound sarcastic but this is really really really annoying me. So please can we not mention the world wide purge of freedom? 9) Yes...You do. You cannot do an action which you do not believe to be right. It is not physically possible. For example I have a choice between raping someone and being shot. Therefore it is right that I rape someone because the alternative is my death. (I don't actually believe that but most people seem to) Give me any example and I can tell you why the person who did something thought it was right. 10) I agree. However that underlines a symptom, not an cause. Lack of understanding has constantly been applied...(Actually I am British) Take the phrase "We hold these truths to be self evident"...Right from the start there is no discussion, no reasoning or logic behind it...There is just an opinion held to be fact. We need to stop forcing reality and start educating people in why we understand one thing to be true and why others understand something else to be true. 11) Great...now there will be a blank in the numbering =P 12) The Right to Hold Marriage a Sacred Bond between Man and Woman. Yes marriage is degraded, but you don't dump stuff in a lake because it is already polluted. The Right to Be Represented. Democracies hold...or assumedly hold... this right to be in the highest regard. "Taxation without Representation" and all that jazz. The reason that George Washington fought the British(or is said to be the reason why he fought the British) was that Britian enforced it's will on a nation which did not have a place in the representative system. The Right to Free Speech. If I was straight...even as a gay person...I want the right to say 'I think gay marriage is wrong' not have A reality forced upon me. The Right to Practice Religion In a Way of Your Choosing. Why should the Church have its terms(I am also an Atheist and a Communist for anyone wondering) dictated to it by the State? Which, if I am honest goes either way.... Yes it does. 1 persons right to live...IE the right to believe that they believe, to practice what they believe and to say what they believe, without fear of destruction and vilification by society...should be taken into consideration when deciding if it is right to take that right away from several others. 14) "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied – chains us all, irrevocably." Because people forge new links to bind the old links... "Your not allowed to do this" "Well your not allowed to to this." "Fine, then you are not allowed..." Ect... Also known as The old 'If you are falling off a cliff then why not try flapping' excuse... 15) To summerise. Rather than create a false world, live in the real world. Fight in the real world by talking to people and dispeling the falsehoods they hold...Don't abuse a system that doesn't work, try to make it work. Yes the path is long and dangerous, but it is the one that provides long term results because you only need to educate 1 people to educate their children, and their children's children and their children's children's children.
  14. Oh yes, people. I shall try to be on for 8 PM (GMT) If I am delayed then...
