no, you are celebrating the fact that his mother finally got rid of him.. and the world was saved from yet another pregnant women with severe moodswings and stress.. and Ive been here for close to 2 years now .. and no one has ever given me a B-thread either... thank God... ^_^

A friend did .. but they are almost complete copies of some posters..

the four elements - "Earth, Fire" and "Wind, Water" .. which you can barely make out if you look closely

iyeah, it's also quite handy as a place to put your feet up when watching films etc .. but a subwoofer belongs on the ground, where it can make the house rumble! and I quite enjoy my view as well Kaftan .. unfortunatly you can't see the 180+ years old trees just outside, they are magnificant! but my view will soon change to a more urban envoriment as I'm moving to Copenhagen within the next couple of months.. so next time a thread like this arises it'll be nothing but grey buildings outside! and I understand you sentiments on playing Dreamfall .. I would want it to be perfect as well!

hey Nartwark .. what's that sig of yours? look freaky! (but cool)

okay then .. I guess this thread wouldn't be complete without me posting my desk as well? :cool: ^_^ and Kaftan I envy you for having Dreamfall .. I want that game so bad!! (no money) voila!

I've always found it sad that "The State" needs to restrict it's inhabitants of anything.. shows how stupid we are in general.. posion is still posion whether it's sanctioned or not! should you want to take - then it's up to you .. unfortunatly a great percentage of the worlds population isn't able to restrain themselves and therefore those who can must live under limited freedom...

Yeah, that's all we spend our time doing you know .. think of ways to rob you.. huh? so a few European companies screwed you, how does that make Europeans in general responsible??

I disappear.. the ultimate escape from reality is being amongst total strangers.. a bus/trainstation, airport or any kind of very busy public place.. kind of like the waves I think, people come and go all the time and you feel like some kind of observer of human natur .. forgetting yourself for a brief moment in time.. I can't even describe how calm that makes me feel, just taking a dive in the ocean that is physical humanity.. or I sit under a tree using all my senes (except sight) to just feel/hear/smell everything around me, trying to expand myself and engulf the tree with my mind .. after a few hours you'll feel like one with it..

Hmm.. that actually sounds like a pretty interesting book MD .. is it released already?

why did I even bother to do a search on Man Faye .. I should've known it was so horrific that I'll have mental scares for life!

i read something somewhere that discussed the concept of being united, but not "as one". it particularly cited this as the ultimate downfall of all civilizations that fail. maybe it was something done by the guns, germs and steel author. i can't remember, i'll look it up. the basis was that societies need a cohesive "one" concept otherwise their own diversity will rip them to shreds. taking a look around the world, right now, nearly all domestic upheavals are due to cultural differences within individual countries. mexicans protesting in the US (er, illegal immigrants, most of whom are mexican), muslims refusing to assimilate in france, three different groups in iraq (sunni, shiite, kurd), etc. everyone wants their own identity, while expecting everyone else to accept them for who they are regardless of human nature which almost instinctively fears that which is different... perhaps the idea is not as far fetched as it may seem? anyway, that's where my comments came from. i'm not sure if i agree or not yet. it needs more thought. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, if we started viewing ourselves as Europeans rather than Germans/French/Danes etc this would probably be a problem .. as we would want our particular individual culture to be the canon for the rest of Europe / or at least be accepted and acknowledged .. but since we don't regard ourselves as one nation but rather a group of nations working closely together I don't see this problem .. there is no one European culture and we don't want a particular European culture.. but we do want peace, friendship and trade on this continent!

If I found a petrified donkey in my closet I would probably be more shocked .. falls under Pre-ancient civilization I would think..

well then we agree .. more commerce, more money, less taxes (EU tolls).. but not necessarily a "we are all as one" unity..

Europe is moving towards greater unity .. not a United Europe .. (at least not for now) .. we won't lose our identity or culture, by moving closer, anymore than we already have - and in no greater quantity than we already do.. I'm all for EU .. We need the cooperation and the benefits it will bring! but we must still fight corruption and bureaucracy! * funny how you are Right-wing Lucius - which is generally pro-EU .. and I'm Left-wing - who are big opponents of it ..

I would rather see Canada annex USA .. in fact I would rather see Europe annex the both of you .. we have more experiance with this whole "world police" thing.. ^_^

I find your lack of faith disturbing! seriously, haven't you heard of sarcasm? a twist of irony? .. I'm an introvert too ..

I believe Walsingham said it best.. but leaders of nations have never been known (in general) to be particularly wise or humble! maybe it has something to do with vanity and the desire of proving your malehood (on an extreme scale) .. my argument is that if every male in history was suffienciently satisfied, no wars would've ever been fought!

while I follow your thought patterns astr0creep .. wouldn't you consider it extremely lucky just being born in "The West" opposed to a 3rd world country? I mean is it the same amount of luck when you get a raise (= filthy rich compared to 80% of the planet) as when a poor child finds a tire? I would consider you a hell of a lot luckier..

congrats on having a beautiful daugther MD! I consider myself rather lucky .. I've been dealt a few rough times, quite a few and quite rough, but I've always managed to get out as a better person.. og Lucius, du m

for true horror .. watch the film! you'll want to make love with the book after that ordeal.. :ph34r:

you know it's spring when it's freezing cold, raining/snowing and windy! <_< last year everything had blossomed, the sky was clear, the sun was shining and the weather was oh so fluffy!

it's called sticking it to "the man" .. Christianity taught it to us..

The question is "what do we want them to do?" .. and to what degree?? I still think that they could serve as supplement to alleviate many problems! and not counting organized crime they could provide a good service doing so .. not a replacement, just a supplement! sex for those who can't get it anywhere else, but not to replace social interaction .. But if they are able to program them perfectly they could take over much of the social sector .. doctors, nurses etc .. especially when dealing with dangerous individuals, where innocent humans could get hurt.. say extreme mental hospitals!

Which is why I wouldn't want them on the market! if society reduces you to a spoiled child even in adult decisions like love, then we are truely ****ed.. but offering it as a sort of public service (in Denmark it was semi-legal to hire prostitutes to handicapped at some point, in fact some institutions still do it). And maybe we could eliviate some of the most serious sexrelated problems, like rape etc... but not going that far I still believe people who aren't able to interact socially, due to physical and/or severe mental disabilities, could be helped alot this way... and no I don't believe we would've solved that problem before robots.. unless we allow future parents to genetically alter their children before pregnancy or birth!
