i do have a question, what gives you a right to take other peoples freedom away, and if you do that, how could you consider everyone to be equal if you treat the businessman differently than a proletariate? capitalism treats everyone equally, the richest person in the world has absolutly no right to take a poor persons property away (if the poor person is in debt to the rich person, and they cant pay it back, the rich person can take HIS property, since it is no longer the poor persons). capitalism also gives you social equality, you can do what ever you want with yourself and your property (not infringing on the rights of others). nothing is illegal that doesnt infringe upon another persons rights. i see no freedom in your society, the government can do whatever they want. i see no political freedos in your society, all i see is a dictatorship. i still prefer to live my life free, and i think most people would agree.

*cough* humans are equal? einstein was different? you just ruined your whole humans are equal point, and just affirmed that humans are NOT equal. true, the engineering part isnt going to be hard to get in at all, all you need is something like a "b" average in school. they have co-op things at purdue that will set you up with a job during school, if you choose to. and if i dont beat the poverty cycle it will be my own fault, i would never blame it on someone else, just because they are richer, more successful, and better than me. so what if i lose ground on the rich, if i do it will just be because i wasnt smart enough to get a good job, or was to lazy to work too much. why should we be required to help other people? thats like going to the bank to cash your paycheck, walking out, and dividing your paycheck equally between yourself and every begger. the biggest problem with your system: there is no incentive to succeed. why would anyone ever want to invent anything in your socialist society? as soon as they invent it, the government would take it, and produce and sell it how ever they want. you just traded a society where the best live really good, the average person lives good, and the laborers still live ok, to a society where everyone lives bellow average, with no progress at all. 100 years from now your society would be at the same level in technology, medicine, and general welfare. in a capitalist society, the general welfare of the people would go up(this is just a side effect, its not the purpose of capitalism) and newer better things would be cheaper and more available to everyone.

Actually studies have shown human gene's have an equal effect as the environment so if you nurture a two people in a similar environment they will respond to the environment with similar effects. I.e. Take identical twins and place them in separate homes and they will adopt different mannerisms or adopt a child and they will pick up the new families mannerisms; pretty simple. So given equal opportunity most people will turn out to be quite similar in nature; of course if you have a child in a redneck family who do care about education and focus on getting them out as quickly as possible then they will turn out slower then others; on the other hand if you are well of and have a child who is spoilt then they will grow up relying on you and for the most of time when they are still adults. If you give equal access to everything (money, education, infrastructure and supportive/good parents) then you will notice that a large majority of the bad people will disappear; where I live most of the bad people live out west and that is due to (economics, lack of infrastructure and parents who just don't care) and are quite different to kids living on the north shore (mum and dad will send you through university and they donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have to worry about money or not getting what they want). The flow down effect does not work therefore capitalism does not work as an equitable social framework and that is a big problem wether you like it or not. I bet you are saying this because you are middle-upper class, white and are living in one of those planned neighbourhoods where the aim is too keep the 'bad' people out; look at the situation from another personÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s point of view and you will quickly see why the system as it stands fails. Ohh and God would cry at the thought that all people are not equal so dwell on that fact considering (I'm assuming your American) your living in a predominantly Christian society. einstein was kicked out of school for not getting good enough grades, and he turned out pretty smart, right? so by what you are saying, to become as smart as einstein, i need to drop out of school right away? sorry, people are just NOT EQUAL. and im not middle-upper class, i would best be described as a "redneck" i suppose, but just because everyone around here, and my family, are rednecks, doesnt make me a "redneck". i was brought up under redneck conditions, and i didnt turn out to be one. i am going off to college for civil engineering, not a normal redneck occupation. i have to pay for all my college too, no parents helping out here. all i can see when i look at it from a lower classes point of view is: "should i work? nah, ill just let other people pay for me to live"

It's more the entire situation, but I just love it. Kind of disturbing. those two movies are awesome. i like the part in good will hunting where he is interviewing for that job at nsa and gives that speech, that is my favorite part of the movie. Edit: wasnt the name from requiem for a dream "big john"?

you sound like one of those people were unsuccessful at life, and want people who were successful to give you their products of their work. i very much would like to "get rid" of everyone like you, ie. socialists. why should the smart, hard working, and successful give their products and wealth to the stupid and lazy people? ill stick to capitalism, where you get what you pay for, and nothing else. Also, not all rich people are smart and hard working, are they? Some have only got lucky, inherited a fortune, won a lottery etc. Most have got expensive educations, payed by the state (the WORKING taxpayers money). Then they would rather make a lot of money and not contribute, give anything back to the community that created their wealth to begin with. You are just another example that confirms what i first wrote. what did they get lucky with? and how? maybe they invested in a get rich quick thing, and lucked out. i call that smart. inheritance? if some one gets an inheritance that they didnt earn at all, and are stupid and lazy, they are just going to squander it away anyways. but that doesnt change anything, the person who gave the recipient the money would have to earn it, and they have a right to do whatever they want with their money. and if you knew what capitalism was (america is one of the most capitalistic countries in the world, but it is by no means capitalist) you would know that there would be NO FREE EDUCATION. those people would have to pay for the education themselves. no more FAFSA, sorry freeloaders! so they would not have to give anything back to their community, because the community didnt give anything to them. Not being able to afford an education because you are born into a poor family then? How's that fair? The point is, with a capitalist society you cannot say that all human beings are valued equal. The poor ones will never be able to climb up to the rich mans level, the rich mans kids will have all the opportunities. Go go jolly old capitalism. By by humanism and equality! HUMANS ARE NOT EQUAL. some are smarter, some are stronger. if the poor people are smarter than someone who is rich, the poor person would get the job. humanism and equality are not on the list of important things in a capitalist society. survival of the fittest is more like it.

first time i watched the movie: "this movie is freaking awesome! i know i shouldnt like it, and i should have considered it one of the worst movies ever, but i freaking loved it!" second time i watched the movie: "oh, now i got it. this movie sucks" but i really did enjoy it a lot the first time through. Trainspotting a good movie about drug abuse Requiem for a Dream while we are on drug abuse, another movie about it. Pi got it in a set with rfad, it is about a mathematician. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb hilarious movie, takes place during the cold war Kevin Smith this is actually a guy, not a movie. everyone of his movies are awesome though Kelly's Heroes funny WWII movie.

"Luke, I am your Father" got to go with the classic :D

*newb question alert* RGB= red green blue :D CMYK=cyan magenta yellow... K? :lol: on topic: what do you want to print a background out for?

my newb pker's name is "nicky hilton"(paris hilton's sister, and 20 times hotter), i think its cool to see names of famous people, i dont know why :lol: i saw some guy named "X" the other day, thought that was kinda cool.

yeah, actually i was thinking about it for star wars, and kill bill (one of those twologie thingies... :D ) oh and no problem 8)

better reason to make a full list :wink: has to be at least 60 min, if its a short film-commercial i dont think it'll make it. good thing you said something, i was about to ask that.

this time your suggestion was MUCH more reasonable, i could see something like that actually work out. if they included the name of the person who teleported, you could always take a screen shot and at least get some satisfaction. since i dont pk, it wouldn't affect me any, but for those who do it might make it a little better for them. i mainly dont pk cause the system is not balanced, you still have to be a pure to be any good, and i got everything.

yes, yes i am. and i dont mind, its part of the game. if you want to cry about it, go to your mommy cause i dont like listeneing to it. next you are going to say going into the wilderness, casting confuse, weaken and curse on someone, then teleporting, is also bad. well i do that to, to random people that never did anythign bad to me. its the wilderness, if you dont like it get out.

how about this idea, stop making stupid suggestions? the game is fine the way it is, just leave it like that. if you want to teleport, then do it. theres nothing cowardly about it. its part of the game.

Friend of mine told me that once. EDIT: This is just another fun fact, it kinda looked like it was saying something towards your quote, but its not. :END EDIT the earth wouldn't be able to sustain the population if nobody died for 7 days. yet another pointless and completly wrong post by mhc *claps* i don't know how anyone could beleive there were only 100,000 people in the world, but it did give me a good laugh for about 10 minutes. there are so many examples im thinking of right now, but the easiest is to just think of ww2. 6mil jews killed, 11mil total killed by the nazi's. those numbers just really don't add up with the world's population jsut being 100,000 :wink:

all f2p, since im f2p :D

nah, they already said they werent doing any holiday stuff anymore (maybe they changed that since i last glanced at runescape two months ago, in which case ignore this post) but if they did do holiday stuff it should be one thats celebrated in at least most of the countries of the world, not just one. and doing it on just the american servers doesnt mean anything really, i live in the US and ive always used the britain servers, cause i think they are faster.
