MLS all-stars beat Chelsea
Here's an article about it. I think it is funny how Chelsea makes excuses about being out of shape. What the heck? They are payed to be in shape. They should always be good, especially since "Chelsea has spent big since Roman Abramovich took over four seasons ago, shelling out about $750 million to build a roster of international stars," and they are aiming to be champs in the Premiere League this year. America doesn't totally suck at soccer, people just need to admit it. Sure, we suck at it, but not always, and not that bad.

Philosophy 101
That is a worldview in itself. I however believe that everyone can know things in the same manner, recognized through a built-in conscience. That is, I believe there is an absolute truth that everyone can interact with and nobody is excepted from interacting with it in a manner that all can understand. The reason I believe this is because I believe there is a God who created everything and is fair. In His fairness I believe He gives everyone a chance to know Him and to know salvation from evil (all that is separate from Him), which we are born into and cannot be saved from without Him. And we want to be saved from evil because everything that is separate from Him is punished, as it is deserving; evil is not good. Yes, I actually have thought about these things, at great length too. As a follower of Christ, I find it difficult to obey God sometimes, and I must constantly examine my motivations in order to not give up. Eternity is like, forever, which is not measurable by time if I recall correctly. I enjoy talking with you too. These things actually matter to me.

The funny videos thread
The Monkey Chow Diaries gave me a few laughs at least. Go ahead and sample the first, it was rather compelling for me, enough to watch all 7. He certainly sounds like he is from Minnesoooota.

I do that too, except, without the online translator, or the Jamahiriya, or the copy and pasting. Actually, I won't lie, I don't do that.

Philosophy 101
It means you are truly wise when you "realize" (comprehend completely or correctly) a partly undefinable contradiction. In essence, that means you cannot be truly wise. But what I am hung up on is how he knows what truly wise is and we didn't. In fact, I reject his claim as to what true wisdom is unless he can prove to me that he is truly wise himself. I think it is fair that I'll only accept the definition of "truly wise" from one who is "truly wise".

Philosophy 101
You have a fallacy there, since you are assuming that something can't exist outside of time. Says who? Prove your definition of the beginning of everything. How do you know there was a beginning to everything? What if there was something outside of the time-realm, that didn't need a beginning, since it has always existed? Something can exist outside of time. GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!! :BLANK'S JESUS-PLUG EMOTICON:

What are you playing now?
Isn't WOW an MMORPG? Doesn't that mean that the large, online multiplayer aspect differentiates it from being a normal RPG? So if you are anti-social, and solo all your quests, then where is the MMO in the MMORPG? Just wondering.

Red Faction
This game had so many good aspects that were ditched in the sequel. Most of the scenery stopped being destructable, which is what drew me to the game. I wouldn't have minded if the graphics suffered in order to allow more destructability.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I thought the anti-religious messages were quite explicit. For example, politically powerful yet corrupt Catholic clergymen. Also, the news reporter repeatedly saying that those opposed to his corrupted nation were guilty of "godlessness". Moreover, although implicit, is the fact that faith in the movie is never seen in a good light, therefore presenting it in a biased manner as foolish and bad. Though it is true that faith in the wrong things can create terribly misguided miscreants, not all faith is bad like that. Faith is especially dangerous in manifestations such as portrayed in V for Vendetta's representation of neo-Britian. The country's motivational poster, which is clearly reminiscent of 1984's, says, "Strength through Unity, Unity through Faith," which is clearly inviting of flaws and corruption, as it leaves undefined what the faith is put in. In this instance, the faith can be fluidly changed to fit one thing or another, as per the governments bidding, very similar to the government's manipulation of people 1984 (Big Brother's own propaganda that "ignorance is strength" becomes true, in that it applies only to Big Brother's hold on the people). Considering that my beliefs in Jesus are faith-based, this could have been offensive to me. However, I enjoyed the story, because I know that people have to be dumb to think of all faith solely in the biased way it seems to be presented in V for Vendetta. Though numerous representations of faith like this can taint the minds of unreasonable people in general, such ignorance goes against the point of stories like these, which are admonishers of unreason. Also, I agree with what Moore said in this from wikipedia:

The hobbies forum........
Interestingly, I enjoy this activity. I wouldn't say it is a hobby, but talking to people on the other side of the planet is rather fun at times. And when their english skills aren't that good, it is still fun. And then what Calax said ^

Red Faction
The sequel was very dissappointing. You could blow up 60% less stuff as I remember

Red Faction
Well, that game was fun. It was fun for one reason: you could make tunnels in the walls with guns. The idea was great, and the devs held to their word: if you didn't have a key to the door, you could blast your way around it, over, under, and to the sides. I remember my buddy and I just digging tunnels, disregarding the fact that the game was a fps. We would dig tunnels from two ends of a map, and try to connect them, and guess where they would meet. Eventually, the game stops letting you dig, since too much memory is being taken up, but it was so fun while it lasted. I wish there were more games like that.

Do atrocities come with an expiry date?
Honey doesnt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love honey. For food, it is probably #1, next to ice-cream. And no, honey on ice-cream does not taste good, as much as I wished.

Alignment
Well, since we are officially resuscitating this thing... There should totally be a campaign where this happens. Maybe we could set up 3 towns/cities where everything goes according to Allignment Rules. Crazy ass evil town, Super diddly do Good town and Neutral town. Players interact with them, maybe starting/solving conflicts etc. A nod to Allignment craziness that ****s with your mind. NWN2 toolkit anyone? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really like this idea. There are a lot of possibilities. The players would be the only "sane" ones, who recognize that there is more than just 9 arbitrary limits to why a person does something. They could go through the town and encounter crazies and try to convince the crazies but never be successful. And there would be one sane person in the town who went crazy being alone and killed themself and you find their journal and read about how they were sane.

Something for you to think about
There is also a difference between pitying someone and seeing how they can be helped. Showering gifts probably doesn't help, but that girl will need help to get through life, and to ignore that is stupid... er, faulty.
