  1. Don't mock me, if it was up to me my little green smilie would be sniping the scum that lingers on this earth, like a parasite to an open wound? I see that as a better idea to be honest. If it was up to you we could all skip hand in hand as equals knowing that the good people are working hard while people like this woman happily give drugs to their kids safe in the knowledge they'll only get a few weeks in prison then be back on benefits. But that's just my opinion...We clashed on my underage pregnancies policies didn't we? caligula: nomen omen est
  2. Good post. Well free choice. Nobody is an island. There are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many external influences to your believes, opinions and choices, that even if you dedicate your whole life into getting rid of those influences you likely won't be successful. It's an instinct to protect children. I think the lengths we take to ensure their protection are absurd and completely irrational. It's not love, it's instinct. You should discourage everybody to abuse (I don't even think that taking drugs is automatically abusing them) drugs. That this mother didn't (successfully) discourage he kids is unfortunate, but sending her to jail won't make things any better.
  3. Great! Now the mother of these kids is in jail. Good for their psyche i suppose. (on a sidenote: It still seems people have the impression, that if you'd take a random happy person and force him/her to take drugs once or even over the course of a week, he/she will be addicted. That's wrong. People get addicted because they like the effect of the drug.) I can't shake the feeling that i'm discussing with people who know nothing about drugs but what they read or heard. Let's oint something out for the record: i don't do drugs anymore. I had to stop because my mental health was terribly [bleep]ed. After three years i still don't feel completely recovered. Nevertheless.. i have first hand experience and it's amazing to see that most peoples opinions on this subject are complete stereotypes. Children who's mother does drugs are bound to take drugs themselves. Who tells you that the mother encouraged them? It's not as if this family was living on an island. Most likely there are many people around them doing drugs also. That's the way it is. In not so sheltered neighborhoods drugs are everywhere. Just because the mother is in jail the kids won't stop doing srugs and one reason why they cotinue taking them might be, because their mother is in jail.
  4. Get rid of this ridiculous picture of the bad, bad drug dealers make our innocent little kids drug addicts. I never was tempted by anybody to take drugs. A classmate asked me if i want to come to his place and smoke some hash after school. Since i was bored out of my mind and this sounded interesting i accepted and since i liked it i continued to smoke. Eventually it became a habit. Drugs make you feel good (that's not so true for cigarettes). It's natural to do something that makes you feel good. Eventually you may realize that they also [bleep] you up. They still make you feel good though. So you have to make the decision between feeling good and [bleep]ing yourself, or feeling normal. After a while of doing drugs, it is a shock to your whole system to perceive the world normally. btw i really, really don't care what's legal or illegal. I have a strong sense of moral. I just care about what is right and what's wrong. And the world isn't black/white. You CAN'T get rid of the supply as long as there is demand.
  5. I guess I am just daft, but that didn't really make sense for me. Why should we endorse/support the selling of drugs? The problem is that there is a demand for drugs. That becomes evident if you count cigarettes, alcohol and all those nice little pills you can get from your doctor in. You can't get rid of the supply as long as there is demand. It's easy to blame people who sell drugs, but putting the blame never helped making anything better. Basically this is off topic though, since the thread is about this family.
  6. You can't deny that you are killing something when you abort a baby. Nevertheless women aborted since ages. Making it illeal will make it just more risky to the health of the mother. Personally i believe that it is right to kill anything that is inside your body if you want to. Basically the last statement is my final thought on this topic. I could blather on and on, but this most likely is my final stance on this subject. Let me tell the law in Austria: Abortion is illegal, but there is no punishment as long as you abort until the third? month.
  7. Yeah! Let's read the bible instead. Personaly i prefer the story you can find at Genesis (1st book of moses) 19.30 to 19.38
  8. Drugs are a world you clearly don't know anything about. When i was 13 i would have appreciated my parents sparing me some drugs. Even more so when i was 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. (With 14 i had a more quiet time =P) I can see nothing hateful here. Once you started taking drugs, you'll be aware that drugs are amongst the greatest things on THIS world as it is. After you took them for a prolonged time you may realize that they'll burn you out. No, i wouldn't give drugs to teens. I just know where this story is coming from and can feel into it from my own experience. Don't hate drug users. Don't even hate "drug dealers". Instead help shaping this world into something where people won't rely on drugs.
  9. It sucks big time :x I'm trying since years. I'm pretty good in writing essays, i have my head full of ideas, concepts, visions and utopias. In a matter of a couple of hours i can live through a cascade of moods. I LOVE to sing and i'm working since years on my style. Give me a random song and i will be able to interprete it (unless it is from Linkin Park. Tried Crawling - just impossible to reproduce that song in a adequate fashion). Sometimes a song follows me around for weeks or even months and i make up multiple versions (a given song mind you, i have none of my own.) I can also play a little guitar, bass and keyboard. Only once in my life i was able to write a song. The whole thing fell into place in a matter of maybe an hour - including recording. (I just took some random music i already had). This was about 8 years ago. The song is even okay. (Although it isn't exactly the kind of music i like.) Now that i think back i remember i did about two or three more songs, but they just were embarrassing. So what is this?! What's wrong with me?
  10. Give it time. Eventually you'll wonder how this could have been a problem. Also about stopping playing with blisters: Since i play lots for a time and then stop for a while i often get blisters, especially when i haven't played for a while and have a long jam session playing bass. (I play it fingered, so index and middle finger are guaranteed to have blisters after one or two hours.) Eventually you can't play anymore anyway. The people who permanently damage their hands are usually those EXTREME freaks. The common player won't be maniac enough to strain his fingers that hard. As mentioned before sometimes i play more, sometimes less. Over the last year i rarely played at all. (Instead i mostly played a computer game called "Runescape") Recently i picked up my guitar again and played more often. I stopped practicing once i was able to play basic accords and barret major and minor on E and A strings. As you can imagine i'm not a great player for that reason. Then again i don't care about that, because i enjoy singing most of all and when it overcomes me i sing for hours until my troat gets sour (wich is enhanced due to my smoking habit :? ) Bottom line is: It really doesn't matter how much you practice. You can't force it, because if you do you won't make any progress anyway. Imo making music is much more rewarding then playing rs though. When my energy lvl is low i do stuff like playing computer. When it is high i do stuff like making music.
  11. I got the stuff of three people without anti fire shield on various occassions at steel dragons. One of them had about 3k chaos, the neccessary air runes and a bunch of anti fire pots. Since i was fire bolting myself this turned out to be a very long trip for me :D
  12. Why is this guide on page 2?! It has to be on page 1 for faster access. There is no entry for ogres =( I found the cannon spot for Trolls VERY useful. Got them a lot recetnly and used to range + cannon generals. Your spot is much faster. Also using the cannon on Kalphite warrior is much faster then maging guardians. For fire giants i wasn't statisfied with the spot in Karamaja dungeon, so i tried cannon in the Waterfall dungeon - using the safe spot at the door. That worked fine as long as there weren't many people there (wich is seldom of course). On the next assignment i set it up in the smoke dungeon infront of the chest. I killed a lot of Pyrefiends, still it was fast enough imo. (I only train mage and range, so i don't have access to Guthans or thw whip.) EDIT: Just got another fire giants assignment and found out that waterfall is by far the fastests methode if you can't use meele, as long as there aren't more then one or two persons there.
  13. Being able to cast bones to peaches makes graveyard very easy. you just have to eat one peach per (or maybe every second load) you deposit. Also bones to peaches is very useful for meele training since you basically can cunjure food (that heals 8) out of thin air.
  14. You sound different. Seems the vacationdid you some good. (<- is this proper english?) Welcome back =) Tha article itself is pretty poor if i may say. Reads itself a little like: "Hey guys! Had a great vacation, it was just waay too short (Should have been about half a year.). Well back to buisness as usual :? )" But oh well! that's okay. About the last part: A new armor with higher requirements? That wouldn't change a thing imo. That would only be a temporary solution. What the game needs (in my humble opinion again) would be a new concept. a new thing you could do at a high levels. i think fight caves and pest control are basically the right direction, but it would need to be something more complex and much bigger.
  15. if i had a digi cam i'd post a pic of my guitar. when my heart was broken i broke my guitar. i tried to fix it with screws and nails, but it won't hold the tension of the strings anymore =( don't play anymore, still have my broken guitar though. on topic: sweet guitar. has style. not exactly my style though
  16. you have no evidence, therefore it's not a theory no a hypothesis =P when you are dreaming and know that it is a dream, you can make yourself wake up. in fact it's hard to keep on dreaming then. if you manage to stay in your dream, you can do whatever you want though. i had the same idea. i just thought of somekind of enlightend powers insead of the superior technology. I had similar believes for some time to. funny enough, that we have soo very similar ideas. question is: what makes us believe such things? i'd say "they" will never wake you (Scruffy) up, at least they didn't wake me. i'd also say you (Xplsv) aren't our saviour, since we would just need one and you and me already makes two of 'em. I believe there is no one, no "they" and no god, nothing that watches us, nothing that judges us, nothing that protects us. nothing but yourself. you watch yourself, judge yourself and (hopefully) protect yourself. I do believe, that something restricts our potential though. may it be fear, may it be false believes. sometimes i have this feeling, like my mind is squeezed into a tin box. maybe it's this body, that is restricting. a body is soo vulnerable, weak and limited. idk. maybe all this mind[bleep] just prevents me from facing my live and from enjoying what it has to offer. then again all these fancy ideas, about what i could do are often suffocated by fears.
  17. serves him well, that fart. why does he have to screw with the rescue team? it's not their fault. instead of conserving oxygen like he should have, he treated them like he was something better. it felt like he demanded to be rescued. "OMG! i'm not ready to die!" Ha! die with dignity, please. we are all going to die. at your age, you should have been better prepared imo.
  18. science is the art of finding the most boring explaination for any given phanomenom. i have seen and experienced things that nobody would believe if i told them (if it would be possible to tell them at all.) there is no magic, because people don't believe in it. people only see what they want to see. with the common strict sets of believes most people wouldn't reckognize magic if it would bite them into their face. how goes that line in english? "there are more things between heaven and earth... horatio" and what did jesus say? "if you bleieve strong enough, you can make the mountains jump into the ocean" or how this line goes in english everything you truely believe in, becomes real.
  19. i'm a leo and proud of it. of course i have long hair. long, healthy hair is a sign of strength (at least in magickal theory). short hair in turn a sign of obediance. in earlier days they used to cut off the hair of criminals.
  20. i thought about insta hide in contex of wizzys. invisibility is a huge boon to survivability. that, damage shield and translocate. yes i was at a couple of banes. First one was an offensive bane against the guys who hld the biggest city in OUR territory. our nation held two big citys east of AB. theirs was on the west. It was a politically very important bane, especially for our nation, wich was the biggest of the small, or the smallest of the large ones back then. The baned city belonged to the troublemakers on the server. We wanted to claim the territory as our own and show, that we couldn't be intimidated by their constant bragging. wellll... we rallyed in the capital. nation leader was concentrated and you could feel how important this bane was to him. we fielded almost 5 complete groups, wich seemed to be A LOT and made our way towards their "city". It was deserted. no sign of them. They had torn down their own walls and all the buildings besides the tree?! appearently just to mock us. we gathered around the banestone. casters stacked on the bulwark. meelers infront and around the entrance to the bulwark. holy spec group ready to flank and waited for the bane to go live. then our scouts reported activity at the tree. they started to appear. nation leader asked: "how many" "LOTS" Since that was my first bane i hadn't adjusted my settings for the needs of a bane. mini map suddenly was filled with blue dots as they charged. Next i only saw minos running towards the bulwark i was standing on and a thundestorm let lose by two full groups of casters on the bulwark. in ventrilo it was like "OMG" then: laaag. Later i heard they charged with 6 groups and then flanked us with a full sent spec group.. none of us survived. when we rallied again in the capital. our moral was broken. we went back two times. the beat us back effortless. then they got bored and knocked down the stone. The mainbody of our army consisted of farmers and plers. we had no chance at all. and that was my first bane. maybe more to come.
  21. The whole idea of people abandoning the game money because it has no real use is not as unreasonable as it may seem really. It actually happened in Diablo 2 for example... In Ultima Online to. about the masses of products without demand, that are then high alched: That's a concept i really hate. It could be countered, by mor or more difficult to obtain ressource necessary to make an item. If for exaple slaying a dragon would be a herculesk task, so that obtaining a single dragonhide would take ten times as long, dragonhide armor, would be far to precious to be high alched. The xp gain could be ten times as high, to balance things out. about the article.. enjoyed reading and learned a thing or two. just can't see what the point of The Editor was.
  22. you see... i never became any good in this game. what was most appealing, where the many races and classes you can choose from, but it's not my thing to test out effective builds and such. i just want a stylish toon. so sb is probably nothing for me anyway, but sometimes i think people who build pures on rs would be better off at sb. probably human wizards don't have much potential. no flying like nephs or blegosh, no heals like shades or irekei, no insta hide like shades have, no drains like vampires, no archmage disc... just some more trains. guess i really choose the inferior class.
  23. i started a couple moths ago and played for some weeks. never really found into the game i think. first i had this lvl 60 irekei dagger scout, then i moved to brailla. there i have a lvl 75 human wizzy, lvl 75 elf druid (pling toon) and a lvl 40 =P vampire thief (i'm in chaotic deception on brailla btw). then i made a irekei wizzy on the loreplay server (lvl 60). had a really hard time with my wizards. they just die soo fast. humans can neither fly, nor do they have heals =( although i loved it, when somebody tried to escape, to translocate right in his running path. then stun, dot, nuke until death. NEVER flee from a wizzy... just didn't like, that you can barely do anything on your own, since i'm quite a loner. what's a deflar again? what kind of thief did you play and what kind of wizzy?
  24. i ponder all the time about death. after all i thought and pondered and pondered, i read terry pratchet. what happens on the discworld when you die sounds true to me: death is exactly as you believe it will be. so better don't believe you'll go to hell... oh and from harry potter: dumbledore: for a prepared mind death is just the next big adventure
