[MASS RS2 BAN!]

nice 8)

[Would You change your Rs Main Username if you could?/\/\/\]

I can live with my names....in fact I'm pretty happy with them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though, I have thought of better RSNs since, and if there were an ability to change my name, I probably would.

[Kansas School Board Votes Against Science]

This whole thing stemmed from the perversion of the word "theory".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There seems to be a difference in the scientific usage and everyday useage of the word. In the science world, it doesn't mean an "unproved claim", it means it's been tested, and experimentally verified as fact.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Confusion on the definition has led some of the uninformed to believe evolution is unproved. This is untrue. There is a great deal of information out there that shows we are the product of billions of years of amino acids interacting and streamlining themselves into greater forms through randomness, chaos, and natural selection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I am religious, but I use my religion as guidance, not as a way to close off my mind to the universe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, there have been many atrocities done in the name of religion but this doesn't mean religion is evil. The original purpose of nearly all religions was to give moral guidance. To teach tolerance, even to those who do not follow the same religion. To take care of each other.

 

 

 

The problem is, religions themselves tend to evolve. People add to the religion and modify it over time. Occasionally, fanatics take them over and use religion as a tool to strengthen their own powers. They use religion as a sheild for their own personal agenda. Many seem to only remember this about religion, and forget it's true origins. It isn't religion, but people that cause the problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Western countries are not very religious, in America alone 13% state their religion as "none", practically the amount is about the same in wealthy European countries (as well as other OECD countries). If we speak in the terms of improving the quality of life and the freedom of people, serious science is definitely a better option than religion.

 

 

 

Just a note: The amount of outright atheists are about the same between america and europe, but americans are much more likely to have much stronger religious beliefs, and be more involved.

[End of our playoffs (and i'm to blame)]

^^^^^ lmao

[Have you ever been in a car wreck before?]

twice, once as passenger, other as driver....both cars totaled =p (and no injuries at all)

[Know any cool, almost-never used English words?]

I've used plethora and detritus several times before, but I don't think I see myself ever saying "Steatopygia" =p

[can ne1 help me with my chords?]

If you're just starting out, just stick with the EADGBe tuning (and if you wish, buy a tuner. you'll have an easier time keeping your guitar at that tuning).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For now, stick with the easier chords. Practice your hand position, finger position, and switching between those chords. And remember, the basis of most any song is chords, so it's important to learn and memorize as many base chords as possible (when I first started, I skipped that step and went straight for "Classical Gas". I could play Classical Gas flawlessly in about two weeks, but I didn't have a true understanding of the song, and I had a very difficult time learning other songs for a while)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

there are a few sites out there with a good amount of user submitted tabulature of songs, and with long lists of all the chords, like ultimate-guitar.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not too much of a Green Day fan, but I did find their song, Good Riddance (time of your life), an easy song to learn, and helped me get started way back when. Many of those chords, and their permutations are in plenty of other popular songs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

strum each chord several times.  if you can listen to the original, it will help you figure out the best way to do this.



Note: this part of the song uses 5 different chords







(high) G9    C9     D     



E|----3------3-----2-----|



B|----3------3-----3-----|



G|----0------0-----2-----|



D|----0------2-----0-----|



A|----2------3-----x-----|



E|----3------x-----x-----| repeat a few times...



(low E)







then....



     Em        D             C          G9                       



E|----0---------2-------------0----------3-------|



B|----0---------3-------------1----------3-------|



G|----0---------2-------------0----------0-------|



D|----2---------0-------------2----------0-------|



A|----2---------x-------------3----------2-------|



E|----0---------x-------------x----------3-------| repeat this a few times...then







     Em           G9           Em           G9            Em           D                     



E|----0------------3-------------0------------3------------0------------2-------|



B|----0------------3-------------0------------3------------0------------3-------|



G|----0------------0-------------0------------0------------0------------2-------|



D|----2------------0-------------2------------0------------2------------0-------|



A|----2------------2-------------2------------2------------2------------x-------|



E|----0------------3-------------0------------3------------0------------x-------|



do this part once, then back to the begining

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I play a ton of other instruments, and I definitely found the guitar to be the easiest instrument to learn, one of the most fun to play, and that almost everyone likes listening to it. Remember, work on your mechanics first, and you'll be a better guitarist for it in the end. I wish you the best of luck with guitar =)

[~~~ New Random Events with pics ~~~]

oh, and does anyone know what happens if you ignore them?

[~~~ New Random Events with pics ~~~]

I wonder if i can turn myself into a female..get the princess outfit..turn into a guy and grab the prince one..and still be able to wear both.

 

 

 

It's my understanding that prince outfits you have in your possession turn into princess stuff when you change genders.

[Different color for one's own damage]

It would be nice if they just tinged it to a slightly different color. Just so you know which one is yours.

[Google Earth]

I cant see my house :( I guess it's too new. I didn't realize I killed that many trees...... :wink:

[What can a lvl 3 skiller do quest wise?]

Knights Sword can be. Just hope the cave is packed with people fighting.

 

 

 

actually it's not too tough

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I brought my lvl 5 guy in there with just a pick and some food, got the blurite, then let the icies kill me :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knights sword gives relatively a ton of skills xp (smithing)

[Ghost Pic Or Unlikely Image Distortion? (captured by ME)]

I....see...a shadow? =p

[What can a lvl 3 skiller do quest wise?]

There is a helpful guide on the main tip.it site. Try any of the "easy" ones. :wink:

[Two Questions about Soda/Pop and their chemistry]

You might know that vinegar and baking soda react to form CO2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put vinegar and baking soda into a bottle, put the cap on, and run.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you used enough stuff, and the right proportions, the CO2 will build up until there's enough pressure to blow of the cap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've never seen this done before, but I've heard that it works. Just be careful.

 

 

 

I think a dry ice bomb would work a bit better

[Two Questions about Soda/Pop and their chemistry]

the sugar crystals make it easier for CO2 gas to form

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the blue stuff is the natural/artificial? coloring of the grape juice

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my question to you is: why?

[This will r0x0rz your s0x0rz. Absolute magic!]

I have one of those on the table next to me =)

[when you grow up, what will you be?]

Aerospace engineer

[A blast from teh past]

I remember that phrase being a cheat code in some way for almost every PC game out there. Why did it ever become famous?

 

 

 

I believe its from the "engrish" translation of Zero Wing

[Wow, They Lock Too Many Topics...Chill You Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

You can always talk to a mod if you have an issue with post locking.

[Money Tracking Websites]

I used to do where's george, but it seemed pointless after a while :lol:

 

 

 

heh, me too. I think the main problem I had back then was I was a bit too thrifty 8).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I actually recently found a $20 with the wheresgeorge.com on it. I was considering saving it to put in the database later, but I kinda noticed this only at the cash register, and it was the only cash I had :(

[discussion on london's bombing here]

To me, all this simply reminds me of September 11th. Back then, everyone pointed fingers at Bin Laden and his organization. He never said he did it, at least not back then, and I've never seen conclusive proof that he was the driving force behind the hijackers. It's just the media who need someone to blame things on, and the public runs with it. When I was at school on September 12th, everyone was convinced Bin Laden was the one who caused it all, even though there was no indication of this whatsoever, except for all the mass media speculation. Let's not make the same mistake again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

heh, you make it sound like Bin Laden was an innocent bystander, which was obviously hardly the case; or an invention of the media

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really don't need to cover the piles data that says otherwise. Really, I don't...

[discussion on london's bombing here]

 

It also greatly annoys me that the "extremists" (trying not to speculate) hide behind the cause of Islam, which most people know as being one of the most caring and peaceful religions in the world.

 

 

 

yeah, but id say that most of the "major" religions say that aswell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways, has any particular group/organisation taken responcaility yet?

 

 

 

an al qaeda cell did, on a website...but those are usually kind of flakey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the unexploded bombs and all those surveillance cameras should provide important clues

[Does the universe go on forever?]

i always feel so small when i ponder this question

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and it doesnt go on forever. At the end of it, there's a really big brick wall, painted black.
