in #mod it was like this except with personal attacks and people defending themselves thrown throughout the conversation.

Me: Why was X edited
Mod: let me check
Mod: It broke rule Z
Me: No, it didnt
Mod: Yeah, because (stupid definition of part or all of rule z)
Me: Thats not rule Z is, thats a stupid definition. *gives extreme example to disprove of their definition now refered to as C*
Mod: Well, this is not C. look, it broke rule Z, im not gonna discuss this anymore.

except Nolio would always blame it on other mods. he would be like, look, i disagree with it too, but hey, i didnt do it.  i cant reverse the other mod's decisions; i'm the victim too.

it wasnt that bad. poorly coded for the scale of pvp they were trying to do, i had a brand new comp with a hd 4870 and intel core 2 duo 3.6Ghz yet still lagged ingame whenever attacking keeps. the PQ's were a nice idea, although most of them were poorly implemented. the the balance between tanks, healers, and dps, were nicely done at least in scenarios.

back in the day, WoW was fine, pre- TBC, but their patches post tbc still effect people who dont have the expansions, so the classes are horribly done for lvl 60 content. so, no its not an option. basically, for pve, your only real option atm is eq2, for pvp theres EVE, WoW, Warhammer, and probably more. Almost all the MMO's are focusing on PvP right now, and each of them tries to offer something different to the table; unfortunately their focus on PvP destroyed their pve.

because the setting is the earth in 1985 and the cold war ended without a nuclear war... we didnt need any superhero's and the destruction of major cities to end it

the problem with the movie was the problems the characters faced and how they resolved them.  i only watched the movie once and never read the comics, so forgive me for not knowing everyone's name. dr manhattan struggling to keep some humanity, that slut trying to help dr manhattan save his humanity and her bad relationship with her mom, the rich faggot's cowardice, roshack's paranoia, and the inteli guy fearing the end of the world. dr manhattan's problem is resolved by learning that the slut is also a bastard. the slut's problems are solved when she discoveres she's a bastard. the rich faggot's problem is solved be wearing some expensive suit, roshack's paranoia is solved by roshack being killed,a nd inteli guy's is resolved by him killing millions of people.

that is why the movie was horrible.

just following directions, for the challenge, waiting for further instructions on how Einstein wants to carry this out.

how did everything work out in the end? millions of people dead, to prevent a war that would of never happened. and the people responsable will most likely get away with it, because some idiot and moron arent very credible sources.

"Avogardo I want to challenge you on Anarchy, or what ever variant of it you are this month."

i stopped calling myself Anarchist a long time ago, probably over a year, because it just confuses people, once you eliminate the current state, you can start calling things not normally considered government, government, such as businesses or parents. So i simply refer to myself as libertarian and say im for a government whose only job is to protect our liberties, to the point where our liberties conflict with other citizen's liberties; whether this is done by democratic election (unlikely), some type of monarchy, or oligarchy, or a company, or whatever, i really dont care.

im honored that you felt the need to call me out directly though :

im not sure if we disagree too much in this area.

everything we know is based off of past experience. you pointing out that past experiences dont always hold true, does not dispute what i said. im not asking you to defend the statement that "Just because something has been happening such and such way in the past does not mean it is going to continue that way indefinitely." but im asking you to state a better argument then to infer that because your past statement is true, experience is useless.

Correction: You should say, "using money HAS BEEN vastly superior to exchanging resources and labor"

Is this what all the argumentation has been about?  Don't you take philosophy anymore in university?  Just because something has been happening such and such way in the past does not mean it is going to continue that way indefinitely.




is this what your argument style has become? just wild claims with nothing backing them up?

no, using money is vastly superior to exchanging resources and labor. not only is money vastly more convenient to exchange, but the borrowing and spending that you claim is bad is also the reason why we've had more technological advancements in the last 150 years then we have the rest of human history. Resources are horded, if resources were all thats used, the rich would horde them and the poor would starve. while money is really impossible to horde, you invest it one way or another, whether that is in a bank, or the stock market, or whatever, it doesnt matter, its being spent over and over again many times over; it multiplies the wealth of the world.

at least Bush didnt put someone who claims that taxes are too confusing for him to file correctly, in charge of taxes.

when everyone drops their languages and settles on a specific dialect of english, i will too, until then, our dialects are just as official and we are just as justified to use them as any british dialect. and in our dialects, liberal means something completely different.

i wasnt able to get through much of the film? what happened to the kid? i only know he went missing. the parents are stupid. Kid plays video games for long hours, you take away video games with nothing to substitute, and you expect the kid to handle it fine. loosing such a big part of your life, isnt easy on people, and the parents are retards for first, letting him make videogames that integral, and 2nd just taking it away.

get a haircut, shave if you're man enough to need to shave, take a shower so you dont stink quite so much. where clean, business casual clothing, and get an interview. act friendly and courteous while also acting like you'll be able to handle anything they throw at you. and because we all know you're a man whore, you mind as well offer some to the employer if she's a woman....
