I did see the speech, or at least the vast majority of it.
I personally consider myself an independent, and I was rather impressed with the speech. He seems to be more open-minded, and I was happy at some of his propositions. However, it'll be interesting to see whether or not he actually follows up on his words.
I'm just very skeptical, I suppose. Too many politicians use mindless rhetoric and take no action
As for the Patriot Act and the wiretapping issues...
It seems like as long as they're only doing it to suspected terrorists or people with terrorist connections, it's fine with me. However, there needs to be a good accountability system over at the CIA. They need to only wiretap when absolutely necessary and not let anything "slip" like they did with the government agent names.
So, if Bush follows up on his own proposals, especially the energy research funding ideas, things should get better. Iraq is the only thing I really am annoyed about, but there's nothing we can do to correct the faulty inteligence now.
Everyone at Congress, Democrat and Republican, need to sit down and have a long talk about a way to deal with the insugency and get our troops back as quickly as the situation allows.

I've heard a lot of good things about world of warcraft, most of it from rs players who seem to be moving in mass to the game. I just wanted to know, is it a free game or do you have to pay? I thought you had to pay, but someone told me you didnt.

: ) this got sent around in an email i got a while ago. I figured out the pattern, but its pretty cool.

Lol I don't think theres a player alive who hasn't gotten owned by a cow at some point. I would have to get like 5 pieces of cooked meat before I fought a cow or goblin. :lol:

I remember my first day, I had absolutely no idea what i was doing. I wandered around, and then started killing goblins. Except no one told me that strength was the most important combat stat, so i trained controlled until i was about level 55 : P
I remember looking at the map and trying to find out where i had started out, and for the longest time i thought i was in camelot castle. Then someone filled me in that Kandarin was members and that noobs started in lumby. I remember thinking my first trip to varrock was a big deal.

Well to stick true to topic, yes what canada did was good. And also yes, it has reached the U.S. I live in Massachusetts, i should know :lol:
But, for those of you who like living by the bible, take a look at exodus 21-23.
So, apparently if you hit anyone you are to be killed.
If you curse at your mom or dad, you are to be killed. The bible even says: "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound."
Also, exodus 22: 30 - "You must give me the firstborn of your sons." So all you firstborn sons out there, if your still alive after 8 days your not a "true" christian.
Every seven years you can't farm crops (exodus 23:10-11).
Slaves are ok, as long as you follow the rules about what you can and can't do to them. Go ahead and look, it talks about how much you have to pay if you injure someones slave. So apparently Abe Lincoln and Martin Luther King are sinners!
How dare they oppose what is allowed by the bible!
After all, everyone knows that if you are "truly" christian, you follow all parts of the bible, down to the exact word. I assume all of you making these posts follow them, and have not been at all hypocritical.

As for evolution, my main concern is, when is a species a species? How do you define a difference between two animals? As for those bird in the Gallepedos, how does slightly different beaks define a species? If they were different colours, would they be different species? So am I the same species as a human with different skin colour. No, I'm not racist, I'm just using this an example. There's a disparity there, and it can undermine the entire theory if someone smarter than me uses it.
quote]
Just to clear this up, and putting it as scientifically as possible, two animals are considered different species when they can no longer mate to produce fertile offspring. Basically if two animals can have babies theyre the same species.
Personally I believe in a kind of mix between both creation and evolution, that God created the universe, and evolution is how God changes said universe. If you look at the big bang theory, where did this mass come from? What or who made it? If there was something that cause it, where did that come from? I see this as showing that god created the universe, and might possibly guide evolution. The "intelligent design" theory type thing.
As for evolution, there are mountains of evidence. One obvious one is that in the fossil record, the layers of fossils that are in chronological order, show slowly changing organisms over time. Eventually these organisms end up looking amazingly different. Also, some animals have pieces of bone where it makes absolutely no sense, leading scientists to believe they must have evolved from another animal. For example, whales have tiny bones that resemble tiny leg bones, and serve no purpose. This shows that they probably evolved from another organism. Besides that, if you examine the arm bones of most vertebrates, you will see great similarities. For example, if you look at say the hands in a human bone, and the bones of a bat wing the way the bones are set up and the number of bones in certain positions match up. This is more evidence that we all evolved from a common ancestor.
The greatest amount of proof is that we have seen creatures adapt to their environment, and so know creatures adapt. If we know this, we know that evolution can work. We know that it works, how it works, and why it works. Everything points to the fact that creatures evolve.

One good fantasy series is the Dragonlance series. I know its really long, i mean really long(it has over 50 books), but you dont have to read them in much of an order. They come usually in a bunch of trilogies, and some are old. Written by a bunch of different people since like the 70's, but all take place in the same world. All of them (at least the ones i've read) are really good, but can be a bit confusing in terms of whats a dream and wats not. I recommend Dragons of Autumn Twilight as a one to start off with, that trilogy is good.

One of my favorites has to be Denethor's death scene in LOTR Return of the King. I mean, what's cooler than a human fireball jumping 700 feet into an orc army of over 100,000? And Gandalf's line then is awsome.

Oh thats tuff. But with Yoda I will go, for great his l33t fighting skill is.

Overall, I thought it was a pretty good movie. In my opinion it didn't capture the genius of Douglas Adam's book, but still a good movie. They skipped over some of the good jokes, and also character parts were lengthed and shortened (the Vogons and Marvin, respectivally). If you see the movie you should definately read the books, and in a way the movie, since it simplified the plot(lets face it, the masses probably couldn't handle all the complexity of Douglas Adams) it might make it easier to understand. Also the love story is a bit too much of the plot, but its hollywood. It doesnt hold too much to the book, but still a good movie by itself.

I might play rsc, but i had assumed the new capes were f2p. It's just stupid to have them be p2p, since almost all wars are f2p.
Add my name, Kop.

Yea the game came out sometime in Jan. 2001 and I started playing in Feb 2001. I remember runescape being like tiny compared to what it is now, and how you could be either a ranger, adventurer, warrior or mage i think were the options. Unfortunately I was too noobish then to know about the holiday drops, otherwise i would have like a full set of rares now. :cry: I remember the high prices, asgarnia coming out, new stats, before fatigue and all those good old times. I remember thinking it was so cool when you could see what level people were (you couldnt always).
Addicts Have No Life??

It's funny... a lot of people, like several of my friends who play/played RS think that anyone who plays MUST be an addict.
I can proudly say that I'm not an addict and I never have been. Hey, it's a game, and I play it that way. My lack of no-lifed stats pretty much prove that. I just never saw it as worth it to play RS until I got a 99 stat.
I'm in a few after school clubs, go out with friends pretty much every day, and am getting good grades. I'd say I have a life. :)
