Thanks. ^^

@Kae: Really? I based it on real ships. What's wrong with it?

Is this OK?



Btw, love the Menu System.. :3

Cursed forest. Please give any feedback on this one. ^^

@cata: Hey, finally a post with content! Are you saying that if the earth has gravity, it automatically means all planets have gravity? NOW we know that they do. But if we didn't, then you couldn't make that assumption. Heck, there are a 1001 reasons why the earth could have gravity and not other plantes. Maybe the position of the earth between the sun and the stars gives it gravity. Maybe it's the moon circling around the earth that gives it gravity. We now know that it's because of the large mass that the earth has, but if we didn't know that you CAN'T MAKE THE ASSUMPTION all planets have gravity. You need to do research first. That was my point.

@thecatamites: Because we all know the moon has as much gravity as the earth, of course. *sigh*

You people are so pathetic lol. Instead of writing up bs posts with no meaning, how about trying to actually write something good and giving arguments instead of flying around false claims? You know I'm right for most of the parts, so instead of trying to prove me wrong, you resort to retarded manners and insults. ;D Or giving silly arguments, of course. *sigh* Actually, you guys remind me of people who do the lowest study in my country -- VMBO. When they disagree they whine and bitch around without giving actual content. I'd love to see you have a discussion on the TV with arguments like "you are stupid lol" and quoting someone, followed by a sigh. I'm sure you'll become president.

Edit: Honestly, I feel you are a lost cause so I'm going to steer clear of going down to your level of meaningless insults (lol pixel words). I'm going out. Until someone posts something worthwhile. Later.

@handsome lamb:

You bitched and moaned about there being too many black people in Barkley.

Oh really? Quote me then. If you can't, it's wrong.

We aren't the only intelligent beings on the planet...animals have ways of communication, brain cells, intelligence, and such too.

Are you saying that animals are even remotely as intelligent as humans, capable of learning and freedom of deciding things against survival nature?

Plus there was "variations" of humans, it's called the Neanderthals.

There aren't really big variations to humans. The variations are more in a little bit longer arms, less/more brains, etc.

Because that wasn't an adaptive trait. Think of natural selection as a kind of sift with selective pressures like environment, predation, etc, chiseling away at a population capable of mutation and reproduction. Evolution is not UPWARDS MOBILITY, with a specific target in mind, but a blind sift.

I know what natural selection is. ^_^ And it was only an example. Think of any trait that would have helped humans but we don't have it. Why don't we have them? Humans with large hands could catch prey easier, which makes them survive more and produce more children, thus slowly evolving into these humans with large hands. Also, it's pretty random that humans are all over the place without showing big variations. The Dawson birds showed pretty big variations in wings and beaks. With all the rivers and oceans that humans crossed, you'd think that the natural barriers would slowly evolve the two seperated groups of humans into different species. But nope. Also, didn't we never find an actual human-ape fossils, and more only very humanish fossils OR very apish fossils? I could be entirely wrong on that, but I thought there was a gap of fossils. Like the pterodactyl (sp?) being a bird/reptillian.

@GZ: Thanks for the quote. I knew I never said I hated black people and that proves it. I merely said that it seems to be all about raping women and drugs, and thatdoesn't mean I hate all black people. And most rap music is about that I think, so, yea. I turn on the radio and there's rap and, guess what? It's about having sex, rape and drugs. Of course, there are many exceptions, but still.

Wow, you people like to take someone's words and twist them around in your own way. I'm not even going to bother replying to each of those post seperately. Instead I'll make a quick list for those that aren't asd;'sdgldg, like Clucky, so they don't think what I posted was meant in the way it was interpretated by sdifousdfoiux's. ^_^b

- Where did I say I hate black people? Oh, right, apparently everyone knows things about me that I haven't even said, nor know myself. Okay, sorry.
- With "science != fact", I meant that proving that A is true, it doesn't automatically mean B is true. That there is gravity on earth doesn't mean there's gravity on other planets. Of course, that statement was just waiting to be taken out of context. Because we all know there must be a racistic hidden message behind everything I type.
- I didn't say that school books should promote and force ANY opinion on students. Instead, it should have the student think for him/herself. Something that some people seem to lack nowadays.
- This discovery about bacterium does not prove that evolution created everything there is today. Can you actually think of a reason/argument why we evolved into the only intelligent beings, instead of whopping my posts around? Why aren't there variations to humans, like intelligent humans with large arms and hands? Or jaws? Or whatever? Surely that would help that species survive natural selection. If the chance that only ONE species evolves into intelligent beings exists, then the chance of humans evolving into stronger beings surely exist too. In 100 years or so, we might have a new theory that puts the evolution theory to shame. And then everyone will follow then new theory and ridicule pro-evolutionists. Who knows.

I have no doubts that evolution and whatnot were part of it. There's too much evidence to say that evolution is fake, but I also find it hard to believe that there was no form of intelligence behind the design of such and absolutely amazing universe.

Agreed. (I never said I didn't believe in evolution? @_@)

To save you the trouble of posting it yourself:

^

Did you read the second half of my post at all?

Obviously evolution exists in some form or another, but it remains to be seen if a simple life form like a bacterium can actually become a full grown animal. =)

This doesn't proof that everything evolved into the way it is now. There could other theories that haven't been discovered yet.

@Ryan: lol grow up

Until they record a bacterium evolving into a human, something random like that can't prove that creationism is wrong. It's just a poke in the eye, or however the article stated it. I still think it's pretty much bullshit. Humans just HAPPENED to be like the only species to evolve into intelligent beings. You'd think that over time all creatures would become uber-animals, according to the evolution theory. Maybe in 10.000 years we'll see giraffe-humans and bigass elephants with shark jaws. Right. Both theories can't actually be proven. Like, ever. Unless they find a way to "speed" up evolution, but then it would still be under different circumstances and such so you couldn't bring REAL proof. Science != fact. It's such a hype nowadays to be anti-creationism though. Didn't the anti-creationism start with people wanting to think for themselves? Now they all just follow the herd instead of thinking about it. School books are horribly anti-creationistic as well. I mean, you COULD just state facts about research on evolution AND creationism. Instead of dedicated, what, one page to creationism and every 5 sentences say that it's wrong? I mean wtf, make it neutral. *flashbacks of WWII Germany propaganda* But then again history classes over here is pro-the Netherlands and pro-Europe too, so whatever.

@ ^: Yea, you can't believe in creationism and evolution. But you can believe in evolution and religion. Like that God caused the Big Bang and steered everything to create DNA and such. I personally don't prefer creationism over evolution, or visa versa. Obviously evolution exists in some form or another, but it remains to be seen if a simple life form like a bacterium can actually become a full grown animal. =)

sex with an ogre is so cliché

read eragon or something by HP Lovecraft

Dude, watch the introduction.  If that isn't reason enough NOT to buy the game then I don't know what is.  The only reason I got it was because it looked cool (a year ago when zero information was available) and fully payed off a preorder but I seriously turned the game off after the intro.

I later played through Neku's chapter but the game still remains uninteresting.  Save your cash.

Oh come on. Unless you're rich, you didn't really entirely stopped playing the game just after the intro, right? :S

If it makes you feel any better I only re-worded my post to be nicer so I wouldn't get banned. I almost got banned last time I cheered your departure, and that was just from the forums, not a possible departue from LIFE. I'm not going to come in and shit up this topic, I feel for you as a person, but as Steel, you're a prick and I really dis-like you. So good luck, get better, and fuck off! haha No really fuck offgood luck.

Haha, that you almost got banned for something like that is pure dictatorship.. Unless you started swearing at him..? Though that seems pretty OK around here. I didn't wish him good luck/cheering him on or anything (obviously), but swearing would be inappropriate, I think. Unless he really wants it..:P

Edit: Lol, had to edit my post to make it more friendly, too.

Magi told me about this. Here's a post about your thing.

My mom died of a breast cancer relapse 5 years ago. She didn't smoke. She was a hiker and had watched her health all her life.

She toughed out a year of chemo that made her miserable and sick and spent it trying not to let us know how miserable and sick she was. Her skin slowly got paler and her hair fell out and her bones ached.

The cancer went into recession. Her hair grew back a little and she went back to work and she started hiking again. She didn't get checked up as often as she could have because she was worried about our financial burden. The cancer came back, and it spread before they found it. She told me just before spring break my junior year, and she spent the next week in a hospital bed in our living room and then she died. She'd been holding it back for weeks for our sake and when she finally let go she was gone in an instant.

Life is random. We all know that on some intellectual level but emotionally it's not easy to accept. Our lives are our stories and we want to see them progress as they should based off of our actions. Unfortunately the world doesn't care about our narrative logic.

What you realize eventually is that you've always been making what you can out of what life gives you. It used to give you lemons, this time it gave you a gigantic pile of shit. But you're still fucking you, so you take the pile of shit and you make shit-aid out of it. You live on your own terms.

Good luck Steel.

That story's really sad. :/ Sorry for your loss..

It's in the chest now too?

^

Yea, how does a cancer from there go all the way to the lungs.. o.O Maybe it's in the blood or something? Nah, they would have noticed that.

I don't know, though.. 50% isn't too good.. People think 1% is already too high. I guess it's better than 30% or whatever.

I have an outgrowth of testicular cancer, level IV, a large mass over my lungs. we're doing a CT scan and other stuff Thurs/Weds to check for other areas, and beginning chemo the next week.

the cure rate is supposed to be 50%

50% cure rate on level IV? Testicular cancer is one of easiest forms to cure, with a 85%+ cure rate. Level V should be 50-60% or something. Your doctors are kind of lol.

Edit: Nvm, just read the above posts and saw someone already mentioned this. xP

Puppy "factories" are pretty sick, though. I know it hasn't got anything to do with eating meat, but while we're on the subject of mistreating animals. Cows and pigs, etc. -- we've got so many, what else to do than to eat them? If we don't, there could be overpopulation or something? And then we'd need hunters to kill them.. But not eat them.. And entirely stopping with eating meat is ridiculous. It's healthy.

Eastern people fill up the niche here. Parents here get 2+ children I think..

oke, I gotta admit that the choking with meat scene was really fudged up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAQ-C1suCEY&feature=related

I really don't think this scene is more disgusting than the common gore scenes.. It's just a woman with a pipe in her mouth, and some fake meat stuff being put into the pipe. But then again, in Saw 3 a man was almost drowned in chopped up pigs and everyone was all "OMFG DISGUSTING", while I didn't think it was scary/disgusting at all. :/

Gore for the most part is thrown in as an unnecessary, disgusting factor to sell games to 13-year-old boys.  Sure, there are some times when it MAKES SENSE (of course if you're shot you're going to bleed) but sometimes they do things like make bodies bleed more than PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE.  I don't look for gore in games, but I guess it doesn't really bother me much if it's already there.

If you don't mind the special effects being so bad, I guess you could go back and play games like Phantasmagoria and Harvester.  Some of the scenes from Phantasmagoria made me physically ill (choking that woman with bloody meat)

Ooh, I just checked out Phantasmagoria and it's pretty awesome! If only the game would still work on my PC.. But at least I could watch most of the game on the internet. The only death that made me ew was when the woman in Phantasmagoria 2 got hung up in the locker room by her feet and hands and then poked to death several times.

Anyway, it seems that most people feel that gore is fine if it's in context with the game itself but not if the game is based around the gore. Yet, say, House of the Dead is pretty much based around gore. It's all gore (though not much). I liked that game though. The final boss of House of the Dead 2 was so impressive I still remember it.~
