'C' is for '12', 'A' is for '10' It goes like this in hexadecimal : 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F Yeah, I know. I have no clue why I said 'C,' looking back.

This is why I do not buy DLC. **** DLC. **** the entire concept. Put what you want to be in the game into the game at release. If you have more ideas for that game later on, make a sequel. That won't make such a nice and tidy profit though. The entire idea is to get people to pay a lot more for the game, just distributing the expense for the customer over time. MMO Lite if you want Which is why I don't buy it.

10 appears in game as 16 because 10 in hexadecimal is 16. If you want 10, the value should be 'c,' I believe.

All the fisheries would collapse even without oil spills to speed the process. Global fisheries are almost universally declining due to overfishing.

We cannot impose our own cultural morals on others just because we don't share those morals any more than we can force our religion on others just because we don't share their religion. We may not like it, but it's frankly none of our business. We may think our beliefs are the right ones, but I can guarantee that others disagree, and think their beliefs are the right ones. I agree that a culture of pedophilia is revolting to me... but there are a lot more revolting things about Afghan culture, such as their dispicable treatment of women, that bother me more. Sadly, we can't change the way they treat their women, either. Only they can do that, and only through the evolution and maturity of their culture as it has more contact with societies outside of its own. Since we're talking about a tribal nation, that's not gonna be happening any time soon. Hits the nail on the head.

for those who don't know this is basically that we shouldn't be constantly increasing our population and should work to lower the amount of people per generation. It's usually proposed by those who are seriously worried about overpopulation which I can understand. He was a bit more extreme than that. Here's some quotes. "All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs

I used to live in Silver Spring. I'd pass that building whenever I went to the movies. About Malthus... Anyone with a brain realizes that there is indeed an upper limit on sustainable human population. The question is whether or not we are approaching that limit. Malthus was wrong in calculating the limit, as he could not anticipate the technological breakthroughs that would drastically increase food production, however technological increases can never grant us infinite food. Eventually we will hit the photosynthetic ceiling. That said, this guy is a ****ing nutcase and forcing everyone not to have kids is a stupid and unfeasible solution.

I don't honestly hear much Crimson Glory at all in this song, but it's not that bad actually. A bit confused maybe, but cool. I think it's just the combination of the terrible production, completely absurd vocals, and odd song structure (random solos placed all over the place and buried in the mix) that makes this so hilarious for me, but I can't listen to the whole thing without laughing. I'm half-convinced that the band is a joke, though. Check out the awesome lineup: Far Cry - Vocals, Guitars Cutterjon - Guitars Grom - Bass Zan Zan - Drums

This game is ****ing ugly. DA:O wasn't pretty, but it was passable. This is just awful.

Because capitalism immediately makes everyone rich, regardless of their humble beginnings! Right?

These two "peace-loving gentlemen" sure are representative of all muslims everywhere!

30,000 here in CU Boulder. My physics class is boring as ****, because I took calculus two years ago and already know all the introductory physics. I have to slog through it to get to the higher level classes for my major, though. Bah.

Imagine Crimson Glory, except double all the vocals with falsetto and then throw any semblance of standard songwriting out the window.

My roommates all just looked at me funny, I was laughing so hard.

Completely unrelated, but: Oh yay! I was able to block LoF's sig animation. No offense, of course, but that thing made me ****ing dizzy.

I just finished my first week of college. The internet here is awesome.

Being mistaken and lying are too different things. Point to a time LoF has intentionally posted false information. It's rather discouraging to see how people can be so convinced that someone is wrong and yet simultaneously incapable of refuting any of his points with actual evidence. Personally, I really don't know enough about the Chavez issue to have an educated opinion on the matter, but suffice to say that to a neutral onlooker LoF looks a whole lot more convincing than anyone else in this thread.

How to describe this band...how about Candlemass meets Iron Maiden meets English folk music, except fifty times more epic? Yeah, that works.

No it's not, it follows from the idea that all men are equal before God. Just like men are endowed with inalienable rights by their Creator, from Declaration of Independence. I think you're missing the whole fact that the founding fathers were Deists and didn't speak of god in the literal, Christian sense.

How did it influence it exactly? No, not a trick question. Just wondering since "Western Civilisation" was there for a few thousand years before the Bible came knocking so to speak (it has only been around for a measly millennia in large parts of Europe). I could have sworn that Greek and Roman culture was what shaped it. Well, I can't very well recount 3000 years of history in detail to explain. Suffice it to say there are two powerful influences on the Western culture, one being Greco/Roman and the other being the Old Testament. These two merged 2000 years ago to form Christianity and begin the Western culture as we understand it today (I guess strictly speaking it started when Constantin converted). Edit: Btw, being a Mason doesn't contradict being a Christian, in fact most Masons are Christians. Edit2: Just to give one example, probably the most important idea of the Western civilization is that all men are equal before God. That idea originated with Christianity. Equal before the law is the important idea, not god. It's a secular idea.

It's a very common misconception that America was founded by Christians and based on Christian values. The founding fathers were Deists.

Of course it wasn't that blatant, but it was a frightening shift towards bible-based law.

Who is Gennady Zyuganov? A big Christian, is he? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennady_Zyuganov I guess in the post Soviet era he has to be pragmatic, this would never fly in the good old Soviet days. What about the Republican Party's base? False. I guess you didn't see that Texas GOP election platform that was posted a while ago?

And that's something that many people fail to recognize. The problem is not with Islamic theocracy, it's with theocracy itself.
