And there are some people who want all 25? Many are those who want all 25, but few are those who actually get 'em 8-) .

Good luck pulling that one off warren. I know Latin, and I still believe that's an amazingly stupid and idealistic idea. It's always good for everyone to learn a new language [in fact, I believe most would agree that everyone should be at least bilingual, or possibly even trilingual], but trying to pick up some dead language and make it universal, or expecting people to speak the language of every country they visit, it's just not feasible or an intelligient use of time. Picking a universal language that's already commonly used in worldwide commerce, like English [or Mandarin Chinese, etc.], is the most logical and best way to go around making the world universally understand each other. Of course, the speakers of the chosen universal language should still be expected to learn another language both for academic and global interaction reasons (as BlueLancer pointed out- one can gain much respect from citizens of Asian countries if they're able to fluently speak the language), but having one universal language that everyone speaks is what this world really needs, and it's gotta be one that already exists to pull it off.

Okay, that was [developmentally delayed]ed -_-. [Lionheart, you already can say that, remember :wink: ?]

Finish at least five percent of it before posting :| ?

Wow, a moron on Xbox Live. What a surprise.

Which is why I put emphasis on the fact that he quit after the second turn, when moves take under ten seconds :P . No one ever told you to be perfect. I'm not annoyed at all by the fact that you're impatient, I could care less. What I was asking for you not to try and emphasis, though, was the self-formed belief that you're "unpredictable", which was both egocentric and misinformed, from what I'm reading about how avid a chess player you are. Simply put, I wouldn't have cared if you had said "I'm too impatient for this, can't stand to play this game", it was just that self-afferming step further that kind of put me over the edge. No offense, but in the future, don't boast about your skills in a game that you rarely, if ever, play. It's a tad annoying :| .

Tribal savages eating giant cockroaches in the rainforest : .

:lol:

Sticky^. [Ask her out genius -_-"].

It is physically impossible for someone to be considered "unpredictable" on their second move, unless they did something stupid like uselessly sacrifice their queen, which would be considered more so as idiocy than anything else. There's also no way that the computer took more than twenty seconds to choose a move after your second one, so you're most likely either a) the most impatient person on the planet [who, if his standards hold for chess both off and on the computer, most likely has never completed a game in his life] or B) scared of losing and feeling the pains of ego deflation. It's most likely a combination of the two. Seriously, play a full game; I'd like to see how far your "unpredictability" gets you, hotshot.

Instead of worthlessly boasting about my "skill" in the face of a superior opponent by hiding the fact that I x'd out of the webpage two turns before I was going to lose *cough*, I'll simply state the fact that that thing completely obliterated me in less than thirty moves. Forced my king out of the back with the black queen, and pinned me in a matter of five moves >_>. [Dacona- by second go, do you mean your second turn? If so, LOL. That's how the program works genius; it pretty much examines every possible move for the next ten turns (thus the neon lines and curvatures), and then decides a move to make for that turn in a matter of ten or so seconds. If you think ten to fifteen seconds is a long wait, I'm guessing you don't play chess much, do you?]

Knowing Abyssal, not only is it unlikely that he called the non-emergency line, but he probably found some way of locking himself inside the toll booth until the cops arrived as well.

I agree with you, but there are plenty of other threads about this, and it's been pretty much discussed to death. Look around the Rants and Debate forum [as well as General], you're bound to find quite a few 99 Cape threads. Are you frikkin' kidding me? This thread is his third post ever on this entire board! Sorry that some members are [wagons] skill, just ignore them.

You're "quitting Tip.it"? Do you know how [developmentally delayed]ed that sounds? You make it sound like you're getting off cigarettes. Must be a 'Scaper.

lolwut Are you [developmentally delayed]ed or something? If you think a point is so self-evidently incorrect as to merit some moronic "lolwut" comment, then make sure it actually is. Although there are always exceptions [absolutely necessary self-defense [[for another person]], etc.], I generally also agree with the rule that all other options excluding violence should be examined first, if the time to do so is given.

-_-". Disregarding my points, instead of intelligiently responding to them and backing up your side of the argument, is not a proper way to debate. Either respond to my points, instead of nit-picking random things out, or stop pretending like you're right. There is literally nothing for me to respond to in that post that has anything to do with my arguments at all, and it leaves me with no way to respond. So please, for the sake of the debate, actually respond to my [or at least someone's] post in it's entirety, with facts and intelligient opinion to back up your stance, or just stop this. It's not getting us anywhere, it's meaningless.

Since you for some reason are choosing to stick your fingers in your ears instead of examining the pros and cons of globalization and a universal language, I have a simply inquiry: what about a universal language is telling you that all culture will die? Yes, there will be less them and us (which, I would conjecture, is the cause of nearly all conflict in the world), but the fact that everyone can speak a certain language doesn't mean that individual cultures are all going to instantaneously meld together. That, and how the heck is saving human lives "killing the world" :-s ? And what do you have against the USA promoting globalization and the welfare of other human beings in developing countries... are you another one of those "anti-USA" brainwashed kids or something? If anything, you should be laughing that the fact that the USA provides the least foreign aid:GDP ratio of any other developed country*, not telling them to do less than they already do. *

Tell me, what on earth have you learned about globalization and the economics of it? You're pretty much going against every basic globalization concept ever formed in that post. But just for the hell of it, I'll humor you on your point about "forcing countires to spend money in other countries being [evil]". Ever heard of something called "the vicious cycle"? Out of courtesy, I'll assume that you do, but explain it anyways. Basically, the vicious cycle goes as such: This cycle kills millions upon millions of lives by hindering the growth of third world countries. But interestingly enough, there is an out- foreign investment, something you seem to shun. Through bank loaning, foreign direct investment, and foreign portfolio investment, developing countries can become developed, as is evident by the economic enhancement of the four Asian tigers. Now, tell me again, why are you against globalization and the saving of the lives of people in developing countries? Why are you so much for dividing the world and the humans on it?

Globalization is a good thing. Globalization saves lives in developing countries, and encourages growth in all. By uniting the world with one language (English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, to name a few) globalization becomes that much easier, and the entire world population benefits from it. Oh, and just so you know, the traditions and cultures of most developing countries are what is killing them- the tradition of having many children for insurance [bIG problem], many religious traditions that hinder growth, too much focus on agriculture, bribing systems [Kenya], a lot of it needs to be fixed and modernized for the sake of these people. But hey, if you prefer culture over human lives and development, more power to ya.

Seen the play, it was pretty good. Wonder how it's going to turn out as a movie :-k .

Sixx.AM- Life is Beautiful Blew me away the first time I heard it o_O.

Then what is love, dear Romeo? Pfft, hell if I know. Though, wasn't there some great post that explained love very well somewhere on these forums? :-k You guys know, that cynical one about how puppy love is crap, and real love comes from commitment? Too tired to dig it up, but it was genious, and I'd love to find it again, especially to answer this question.

That's a crush, not love. Ya, we all got 'em. I remember my first crush, always got tongue-tied around her, even though we were completely on equal footing- both of us were star-soccer players at the school, both of us played Select-A for the same team [non-co-ed]. On top of that, we, along with my best friend at the time [he moved to Texas in 5th grade :cry: ] were the fastest kids in the school, both in sprinting and long distance, but no matter what, I always got nervous as heck around her. Hell, I even kissed another girl I didn't even like directly in front of her, just to see if I could get her jealous and come to me without any effort on my part. Ya, didn't work, and we ended up going to different schools. Stupid f'ing pheromones.

You guys do realize that the very fact that he hasn't responded yet is further evidence that he's a troll, and a lazy one at that. Do not even bother responding to the OP- it's a waste of your own time, and has been stated more times than I can count, the very existence of a response gives the troll the feeling of winning. As for the thread itself, he definitely copy-pasted this. This is way too much effort for a troll like this guy, especially when it's written so terribly. I mean, not to make nonsensical and redundant bashing, but the logic of this letter is so flawed that there is literally zero possiblity that it is real. A true troll letter, if done to the length of this one -something I wouldn't suggest for blooming trolls, it makes your trolling obvious and wastes your time- would put more emphasis on making their flawed logic and bigotry sound somewhat logical than on using flowery phrasing and making the post extremely long. So OP, if you're going to be a troll, at least do it right. Try responding, instead of being a lazy-[wagon] who copies some thread from another forum, posts it here, and hopes that he'll actually accomplish something by doing absolutely frikkin' nothing. As Zonorhc stated, fail troll is fail. Not to give credence to the grammar of that age-old phrase, but there's only one thing I hate worse than a troll, and that's a fail troll. You, sir, are a fail troll. So please, for all of us, go back to troll academy and learn how to do your goddamn job properly for Christ's sake.
