It depends where you're from... I went to a school last year with alot of Canadians and Americans and the biggest difference was in the word decal. Americans pronounced it deek-al. *Most* Canadians pronounced it deckle. I say root.

This happens to me from time to time, I just restart my router and/or wait a couple hours and then it's back. Not a good solution I know =\

It was good, but revolting at the same time.

How about it indeed....

Hardly. Moral relativism is all about taking responsibility out of the picture entirely. Even if it's wrong in the eyes of everyone else, it's right in your eyes, so there's no blame at all for anyone. As soon as you take responsiblity for your actions because others think it's wrong, it's not moral relativism anymore is it? It's taking responsibility because those morals are absolute. If God says something is wrong, then it's wrong for everyone - so if you do something wrong, it's wrong because God said it's wrong, and because God said it's wrong, then it's wrong - it's keeping the right/wrong off of people entirely and putting it on actions instead - it universalizes responsibility, whereas relativism personalizes responsibility - you're arguing against absolutism from relativism, that doesn't work. You're arguing from relativism again. Just becuase people have different beliefs/knowledge doesn't change the absolute moral code. Absolute morality just says that there *are* some absolute morals, it says nothign about people knowing them. As for hte children - their beliefs are shaped by their parents... but they believe those beliefs to be absolutely true. You don't see some playground fight where some kid yells "my dad says that's wrong!" and some other kid says "well your dad is right for you, and my dad's beliefs are right for me so let's call it even!". No, it's "my dad is right!"... "NO! MY dad is right!"... etc. The first moral experience anyone ever has is absolute. Children believe moral absolutism - from this moral "data" we get the theory of moral absolutism. As for relativism - we came up with the theory, and then acted on it. Kind of opposite to the scientific method, don't you think? Moral absolutism just says that there are *some* absolute morals, not every moral is absolute. Relativism denies the existence of any absolutes. You're misunderstanding the principle of absolutism. Absolutism here wouldn't say that "certain words are bad", absolutism would say "speaking badly to one another is wrong", so swearing at someone out of anger is wrong, because you're speaking badly to someone, but using a "profanity" to compliment someone (if it is possible), would not be wrong, so you are being encouragin with your words.

We should do this with guitar tabulature, so that we can play the riff to find out :o

Hey guys/ladies, my internet is working quite intermittently lately, and so I'm just doing a computer overhaul, spyware scans, disk cleanups, defrags, virusscans, etc... wondering if some of you intelligent people can help me out here by checking this log for me :) Thanks again!

I'm a little disappointed Ocarina of time wasn't better than #8. Sure other games were more "groundbreaking", but weren't more enjoyable. I'd enjoy any game over Pong any day... Pong sucks!

Indeed. Very good point. It's easy to say they're cheap goals, they may be lucky, but you're goalie must not be very good, or your defense is weak from the sides and middle. You need to spread out. How2PK, you've probably never played the game and dont know what its like so you should probably *. Teenageloser, i have one of the best goalies in the game, Dom Hasek, and two of the best defensemen, Redden and Chara. So its not that my goalie or defense are weak. Hasek isn't that great in the game, I play with Belfour and he's way better. Real life is an aside here, that's just how it *plays out*. I also know that one timers are quite easy to block... just make the pass hard to make, get your players in the way, tie people up... it's not too hard, and yes, I own the game, and yes, I'm pretty good at it.

And then the bad guy dies completely alone....

It's what the words stand for. I think in the case of English, which is made up of latin and anglo-saxon I think? The latin people were stuck-up and thought the the anglo-saxons were dumb, so the anglo-saxon words for things done in secret (having sex [f word], excrementing, etc) became the "bad words". Usually the words meanings have very bad connotations to them.

It's true, I saw it happen once... oh the glory...... oh the glory.

yea, and plus, I doubt anyone really cares what songs other people have :P it's just a ploy to raise post count see... ;P

Please go and do that before asking questions that are easily answered in the userguide (see link Cameron provided).

Yea exactly... I like a little spice on everything... for instance a few drops of hot sauce on hamburgers is awesome.

Pretty blunt, but this can't be argued. This is definetly the meat and potatoes of the whole thing. That's if you want a shallow relationship that won't last.

Ditto, and this is the offtopic board.

My loathing of hiccups runs so deep that I won't allow anyone to express their love of them here.

Hahah, I quit quite a few months ago with a blue and a white hat in my bank... and now I've pretty much tripled in networth :lol:

"Who did you think I was?" by John Mayer on his new album, Try! It's a pump-up song, during which he renounces his old acoustic-love-girl-getting style and sets the tone for the entire cd.

ERm isnt that a good thing, cause they wont care for violence and know whats right from wrong? just my opinion. No because then they'll end up class bully... unless you're all for people doing whatever they think is right - which generally sucks.

I heard actually buying movies was a good way of viewing them without too much hassle. I wonder why...

The thing is that violence affects them alot more at an early age - trying to desensitize them will not only desensitize them to violence on a screen, it will also desensitize them to violence inflicted on others in real life, and that's not a good thing. I'd wait until my children are older before showing them violent movies, once they're older, they can spend the rest of their childhood mutilating each other via video games for all I care.

Tainted? Not really. Perhaps if Pogge knew the puck went in the net and he tried to scoop it out and it wasn't called then maybe it would be tainted. But it was in and out for about half a second then ended up under his pads again. If the final was something like 3-2 Canada then maybe I'd feel a bit bad. Canada just dominated Russia throughout the 2nd and 3rd periods so that miscalled goal was nothing to worry about. Jack Johnson= :lol: But put yourself in the Russian's shoes. You've just scored a goal, and it didn't count. Instead of 2-1, a very close one goal game, you've got 2-0, and the momentum just took a shot against you. That's going to totally kill their morale, and therefore the rest of the game will be quite different than if it was 2-1. I agree Canada still would have won, but I'd say it would have been 3-2, or 4-2... certainly not 5-0.
