  1. So you feel JadedWolf meant: Only in matters of capital punishment, its uncivilized and they feel its wrong to kill people no matter what, but in matters of self preservation its totally ok but they would feel bad? I guess that's as good an explanation as were going to get with statements like that.
  2. Have you bothered to read the thread? This is all just one page back.
  3. Um, yeah, I had read the previous 101 posts but thanks for the summary on what this thread topic is about. Meanwhile, sometimes thread topics drift. Im curious as to where a person that feels killing is wrong "no matter what" except when their life depends on in, really draws the line.
  4. You're not even really engaging in a discussion at this point, you're just ridiculing my point of view. Well, you'll excuse me if I don't really feel like wasting my time talking to you, then. Don't you think its more likely that you don't want to face yourself? I mean, Im just some disembodied voice on the interweb trying to understand your point. Just a few posts ago you stated that you believe it is wrong to kill "no matter what". Now we have established that you would in fact kill someone to take their life preserver to save yourself (while feeling terrible about it of course). This can be reasonably extrapolated to; you would kill someone else to save yourself in any situation where your life depended on it. All Im trying to figure out is where your "morals" really kick in.
  5. Not semantics, just poking holes in the absurdity of "its wrong to kill people, no matter what". I bet you would also kill if someone was pistol whipping dear old mum, or trying to snatch your kids, or any number of reasons that suddenly become "justifiable instinct" in your head. Its all exactly the same as willfully killing someone.
  6. You wouldn't feel guilty, you would be dead:
  7. I say a lot with a little. I agree, small-minded nationalism is super relevant to the topic. "Now we can ignore a problem which the scientific community has reached a near-complete consensus on for another 50+ years!" Not to mention the fact that the US' primary trade relationship is with China, a country powered overwhelmingly by coal, a country whose rampant, if unequal, economic growth is leading to an emulation of capitalist materialism, further exacerbating the situation. The petty nationalism expressed by certain individuals is irrelevant to the issue of the thread. Maybe a red herring, maybe some kind of ill-thought "argument" that "If we have more oil, then it logically follows that climate change is a conspiracy by Big Science to [insert right-wing conspiracy theory here]! Also stop begging us to play world police, arabs! The US has never interfered with the internal politics and sovereignty of any foreign country, especially in the middle east, to further its own political goals and the economic goals of its most powerful individuals and corporations!" All that red faced arm waving is actually kind of true. Im very happy my country will have enough natural resources to eventually stop importing oil and become an exporter. Makes for more countries under our sphere of influence too. I also don't give a rats ass about global warming. The Earth will be perfectly suitable for life during mine and my daughters lifetime and beyond that the whole place can go to Planet of the Apes for all I care. But I don't want to let you down so I will also disclose that Im always down for a good invasion to take what we need. Maybe we can invade Venezuela and build a humongous underwater pipeline to Japan?
  8. X-47B makes historic carrier launch.
  9. Id love to hear how you feel they got there in the first place.
  10. Didn't Bendu hook you up with XCOM BruceVC?
  11. US shale oil supply shock rocks global power balance. Booyah.
  12. There is no good or evil in P:E, only reputations.
  13. Condolences TN.
  14. I always just equip whichever pieces of gear say "recommended". Im sure that, along with some suspect Powers and Feat choices, will come back to bite me soon. Reached level 30 and met a dungeon end boss that actually killed me. I stared at the screen long and hard and then logged off to think about what I had done.
  15. You're not far off. The play was sanctioned by Music Theater International in New York and I think the Jr. designation just stands for a truncated version of the original that they distribute to middle schools. The whole thing ran ~1h15m. EDIT: Fiddler on the Roof JR.
  16. ^Remember, lift with your knees. Last night I attended my daughters middle school rendition of Fiddler on the Roof, Jr. I had never seen that play in any form so it was good fun and they have some surprisingly talented singers.
  17. Ouya shipping date delayed until June 25.
  18. But that's a one-time investment. After that you can churn out undetectable and untraceable weapons all day. But you do have a point that anyone can create a zip gun.
  19. That's really surprising to me. Considering England's gun laws and laws on "weapons" in general (cant even carry a pocket knife), I would have expected them to also outlaw toy weapons so as not to encourage children to "play" with guns.
  20. Reached level 21 yesterday before calling it a night. At level 20 I gained access to a mount but unfortunately, after 20 levels of looting everything that didn't get out of my way, I still only have around 2.5 gold pieces and mounts cost 5 gold. And now it takes 6 hours for my mercenary to perform 1 job, so that's really slowed to a crawl.
  21. Im glad I don't have that problem. I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and sleep soundly until the morning alarm.
