DON'T BUY OREOS. I swear, that's the thing that's going to kill me in ten years when my metabolism starts slowin' down...

Wait, your parents are chipping in $80,000 for your bro, and they won't pay past your second year of education? Why is that so again...?

You a teenager? 15ish? I actually plan to do something in the field of nanotechnology. I just have no idea what :-w .

Not really in track, but lifting is great for pretty much everything else, and it'll go far in life. I'd say play Select Soccer, but it may be a little late for that :-w . I got some intense endurance training playing upper league soccer, as it's really needed when you're sprinting all game. What do you plan to run in track? 100? 200? 400? 800? Or do other things, like pole vaulting? Can't give you any advice on anything but running, but all I can really say on that is get some good endurance, especially on the 400 and 800. Anything below that is purely speed, and you can't train speed.

I think we could make a pretty good consensus on this forum that the main driver for the statue making it to the Seven was Christianity. That's the only explanation I can think of for something like that to be called a "World Wonder". Though mind you, I'd be scared if the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty made it to the Seven just as much as the Christ Redeemer, simply because it's far too modern (and not all that wonderous in matters of architecture) for it. Eh, I wouldn't call you ignorant, and I never did. I hadn't even heard of it at all until 2 years ago, when I had to go to an exhibit on it for World History class. I'm surprised it isn't more famous, it really is amazing :-k .

I remember clearly reading on my Wii it said it was guareented to be on their because it was the only surviving ancient wonder left, and I think it is an insult, such architecture, sure durablity. And I disagree with your last part though, I'd rather eliminate the Jordan thing, I have never even heard of that. You'd kick out Petra over some easily-made modern-age statue!? o_O. I swear, the only reason the Christ Redeemer even made it in there as a candidate was because of the vast size of Christianity in the world community . Probably the only reason it made it to the Seven as well. Religion is no reason for something to be called a World Wonder by architectural standards -.- .

I will invent the device that will permit you to punch people over the internet. I swear it. Changing your avatar would help :-w .

Wait, weren't the Pyramids of Giza already guarenteed to be in the 7, by the Egyptian government? I could have sworn that that agreement was made, as the Egyptian government considered it "an insult for them to have to even run for a place in the 7 World Wonders", or something like that. What happened? Kick the frikking Christ Redeemer out of there and put the Pyramids in!

No it's not the only opinion I have on the subject. I'm convinced that the world would be a better place without premarital sex, as I wrote in my initial reply on this thread. Which is exactly what I just asked you. What are those reasons?

Because the Bible says so. I didn't ask why (though some verses would be nice), I asked what.

(All Absol's, all with really stupid names, Ruby version) I don't have problems :uhh: .

aww was he really that bad at oral sex? Fail.

Tell me, in a scenario where two adults have known each other and been dating for well over a year, have been tested and have no STD's, and are even willing to have a baby before marriage, what do you find so immoral about them having sex? Don't make such black-and-white statements in a discussion on such a cloudy and blurred issue.

:XD:

Great, denial in essay format. :lol: Addition was back in kindergarden dude.

Of course games should be a case of who has more money. In this game, power comes from one thing- time. Powerful Ancients gain their levels through boring, repetitive, and long-winded training for hours on end. They gain a sufficient combat level to fight, and they gain the magic level to supply their team with the power it needs. The same thing goes for powerful Warriors and Rangers- they spend their time gaining levels and becoming stronger. While they use their time their training, they can also use their time for a second purpose- gathering money (merchanting, DK'ing, skilling, etc.). This money can then be used to add more power to the team through it's use in obtaining the resources for powerful spells, armor, and weapons, further enhancing the player. Castle Wars is a combat based game. You can't get overlook that. If those who have spent more time than others gaining power are barred from using that power that they so rightfully earned and deserve though their hundreds of hours of toiling, then those asking for their power to be barred, quite simply, must be too lazy to gain the power themselves, and far too driven by envy to fully justify such a ludicrous rule as the banning of Ancients. So, of course games should be partially based on who has more money. Not only is that money directly stemmed from the time they spent earning it- the same time they used to get their combat levels, mind you-, but that is the same money that is used to get better armor and weapons, which you seem to be ignoring. By your logic, you say we should get rid of Ancients because "it is based only on who has more money". So, should't we get rid of every advantage that people have, which is based on money? No more whips, that's unfair to the people who can't afford them. No more Barrows armor, that's also unfair. No more crystal shields and bows, no more Furies, no more anything based on money, because there will always be someone who can't afford it. Now, tell me again, money shouldn't be a factor... why? Heh, if I thought it was exciting I'd still be playing Runescape, wouldn't I?

Raised to say no :| .

It is useless to study knowledge, as the fact that we can't know everything can't be studied. It's obvious we can't totally "know" anything; there's no point even thinking about it. Existence, on the other hand, can be studied.

The only reason that we seem to think we have to wait for marriage to have sex is because of the religious stance behind it. The Church wants two simple things out of a couple for them to be a true couple- that they are Procreative (i.e., can reproduce), and that they are in a Unitive relationship. Procreative is pretty much covered if the couple is hetero, but the only way (by the Church's definition) to enter into the Unitive property of a relationship is to be married, as marriage officially unites a couple. Once these two prerequisetes (sp?) are met, the Church feels that a couple is permitted to engage in the sexual act [just because you hate religion doesn't mean you shouldn't learn about it :-w ]. Sadly, marriage is the only true line (other than the legal age I suppose) for measuring whether or not a couple is ready for sex. Still, I prefer to remain in the foggy area of permitting sex before marriage, because marriage doesn't exactly cause you to love someone, it's the other way around; marriage is a result of love.

Eh, better than being like me- trying to be the only discussion on the threads I make :-w .

I'm taking a semester long meditation class next year, so we'll see how it works for me :) .

The only real positive effect of playing Runescape instead of doing something else productive is the relaxed feeling you get and the enjoyment you recieve while you play. It's a video game. You're not really meant to learn anything (and you don't); it's just meant to have fun. Oh, and if I were any of your parents, I'd rather have you bored than playing Runescape. Or rather, I'd make you get a job or do something productive like reading instead of playing this stupid game. Honestly, there are few things worse on this planet than a bored child. And to all of you saying you "learned things", you'd learn more in a fifteen minutes of watching Discovery Channel then you would in years of playing Runescape. :lol: This guys a funny one.

Apparently, his use for this information is the need to go " 8-) ". Heh, I bet if we went with Sumpta's idea for cup sizes we'd actually get real answers ( :-w , or probably none :-w ). Something tells me the women on this forum aren't this shallow.

why? it's part of the game and has every right to be used. Just because some idiots don't know how to protect themselves against it doesn't mean it should be taken out. You seem to imply there is a way to protect yourself against it. For m̮̻̉̉l̮̩̉̉e, I can simply run away from whoever's attacking me. Same really for range. But Ancient Magicks have the ability not only to attack from afar, but to freeze you so you can't get away. This is what really unbalances Ancient Magicks. Maybe it would be better if you could only attack within a four-tile radius, but you can literally freeze someone ten tiles away with no effort whatsoever, and with no hope of them escaping. Damnit, at 2.5k a pop, spending 100s of thousands of gp a game easily, I and my team definitely get what we want and deserve from Ancient Magicks. At 2.5kgp a shot, I better as hell get a 30 max shot with a 9 block attack area and a 20 second freeze. That stuff ain't exactly cheap dude...; you aren't the Ancienting type, are you? But it's not like it's godly power either. If a half-decent player puts on black dragonhide (say, 70+ defense), they don't even need to put on prayer for my 94 magic to splash constantly on them, unless I've got my +120 mage outfit on and every advantageous prayer and aid imaginable. Put on some Karils, Black Dragonhide, something, and trust me, you'll be hard to hit, even by the top mages.
