I'm sure it does for true trekkies ..

The only mods I found (that were used on internet servers) included all kinds of ships from Sci-fi film and series like Star Wars and Star Trek .. which had absolutely no place in Freelander imo! + none of them had any ships in the design of the houses' ships! which made it even more stupid .. so I gave up on it after a very short while ..

everyone I've met has been the easy going hippie kind .. even those Jesus-Freak-T-shirt-people .. just wanting to talk about their faith and hoping that I will see the light some day in my own time .. but then we shoved all the bad ones to USA, so no wonder they are more extreme over there .. hehe

lol .. yeah I don't think a ghost would lean out of the door that way in a kinda "WTF" pose ..

First, Baley will spam our minds to Oblivion, then the russkies will move right in for our fluids while we stand there dazed and confused. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not that much of apammer :"> I just tend to be here more than any of you I've been active for almost 11 hours now " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You've been here for about a one and a half month and already you've got nearly 2000 posts .. if that's not spamming these boards I don't know what is! :ph34r: I mean 42.1 posts per day ..

I'm not saying it doesn't work .. but that you need to believe in the framwork, and in the apperant reality, for science to have any merit ..and this to me, is the same as believing in God (fundamentally) .. so it's not worthless or loses any value based on the fact that it is uncertain! it merly requires a leap of faith .. that's all I'm saying! that you shouldn't hold science as some sort of infallible entity, but regard it with a healthy degree of skepticism and see if it fits into your own world view!

Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.

Dr. Strangelove is the most insane movie! damn Russkies!

... but it would feel like forever as time would elongate to infinity for you as you approached the point of singularity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> remind me never to be swallowed by a black hole ..

True, but I disagree with the idea that if a person decides that what we call a dog is to him a cat, it is truely a cat in his reality. In fact, he is just ignorant, or suffering from a mental disorder. There has to be absolute truth, in my opinion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well what *is* that absolute thruth then? that the cat or dog exist? how do you know for 100% certainty? they are both a bunch of atoms fused togehter? 99% of the creature and everyting is in reality nothing .. is it based on what you see, hear or feel? if I strip away all your senses .. what is reality then??

I'm going to repeat myself here .. sorry for that .. but it seems like I'm really bad at formulating myself .. When I see a dog, I see what my minds interpret as a dog .. and so do you, if we are then to talk about this specific object, we must assume/believe that we are seeing the same thing .. so in our common reality, we have to believe that we are seeing the same thing in order to even have a converstation, otherwise we would need to explain our entire perspective each time we use a different symbol .. and since language is symbols as well.. you can see it would be quite impossible! so I believe in reality, and our reality .. but I can't be sure that it's real, I only assume so ..

I didn't .. I agree that within it's own system, science just is .. and when you view math within it's own seperate system it just is .. no proof required .. but if you try to apply it to the so called reality belief is required imo .. I don't doubt what I see .. because to me it's real .. but I doubt what I see if I must explain it in a context to what we percieve as a common reality ..

Well your welcome to jump off your roof Yes but when something new comes along science adapts with nary a miss step. The introduction of new concepts is something religion finds hard to impossible to deal with. In some cases it's like sticking your fingers in your ears in hopes that it will just go away. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not doubting the fact that science is adaptable .. but my point, which I have stated several times now (sorry for being circular in my argument Eldar), is that it still requires belief in the new theories that arises .. they are not hard fact, you still need a degree faith! and religion may be stagnant compared to that .. but that does not make it worth any less .. it's just a different perspective! both are fallible in the big picture .. so in order to trust them, we must believe in them .. my world view is wrong to some other people .. but right for me .. that doesn't mean I'm wrong, it doesn't mean the others are wrong .. it just means we see things differently!

Does anyone not believe that 2+2=4 ? You dont need to believe in science. Science is just there. Even if you dont believe in gravity you still cant fly . You may have devices that can overcome it, but it's still a fundamental and provable truth. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's not how science works .. science never proves anything to be true, I can only prove something wrong .. If I one day fly on my own accord, science will have to incorporate that, and probably will .. Science is fluid, that's it's strenght, it has the ability to adapt, which has made it quite popular .. but it's not solid fact, it's based on observations .. and until the day that we have seen, experianced and know everything .. science is fallible!

Your wrong. If you want to confine yourself to your own reality then fine you can accept it as fact. If however you want to impress your reality on others, that takes proof or faith. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> this is what I've been saying all along .. you've accepted the given fact 2+2=4 .. nothing wrong with that, because it makes sense, and if it fits into your reality then good! but you can' assume everyone sees, feels or believes this .. I've accepted the fact that Math works as well! and I do believe in science more than religion .. but I believe in it, I don't know it to be true! and the reason why I'm arguing here is because someone stated that people who believe in God without proof is stupid .. While my opinion is, that everything you hold to be true is a matter of faith and not die hard proof.. so that would make everyone an idiot! and that's why I disagree with the original poster ..

I said I was sorry .. no need to go to such desperate measures!! I mean .. Hasselhoff??

yes they are .. they are real to the person that sees them .. and that's whats important! you insist on drawing everything out into this common reality .. which you have no proof of .. just because it's not real to you does mean it's not there .. I don't believe in your God, so I don't believe s/he exist .. but s/he does to you! and following your above point that makes God an illusion ..

Well you had a female avatar .. you made a thread about the senseless violence against female villans .. I mean .. a thread about senseless violence?? and senseless violence against females baddies?? plus all those phallos remarks .. how could I possible believe you were a guy based on that??

and oh how I hate the Matrix for that! because if I was saying this, without the matrix making the argument pop, you wouldn't relate to it as pseudo-intellectual bull****.. just like "Everything is relative" it's being used too much! it's still valid, but people don't listen to the words because they are fed up with idiots spouting it all the time .. which is why (if I want to make the argument) I use the Zen quote that goes "Water on it's own has no sound, but when I flows on stones it gurgles" I've actually thought about my world view .. long and hard, and I have believed in it long before The Matrix came out! sorry if I made a stab at you .. but I was trying to use their line of logic to show them that they were doing the same thing as they were attacking others for .. I of course respect the fact that you actually take the time to really think about what believe in .. which, for me, is the best thing a man can do .. be a critical thinker! and form his own mind, even if it's based on others foundations (which we all do)..

But what is the real reality? how do we know .. how can I trust that what I see is what you see? Humans think and structure their minds in symbols, and like with dreams we must interpret these individually.. so then my reality is not yours .. how then can we say there is a fundamental reality? when none us of truly knows what it is .. my point is just, that nothing is certain! you can't be sure that science is right, you can't be sure religion is .. it's all a matter of faith! so religion and science shares that common ground.. This does not diminsh it however, since everything is uncertain, and there's nothing wrong with beliefs as long as we remember to question them from time to time! we all trust familiar patterns, what we think is certainties .. but no matter how rooted our belief in something is, we need skepticism, since that is a powerful tool of critical thinking, creativity and freeing the mind of confirmative patterns ..

awesome ... awesome to the max!

I really loved the universe .. and the story was fairly interesting (would probably have made a pretty decent film)! nothing great, but definitly not bad either! but the execution of the game sucked .. the dialouge (not the cutscenes) were horrible!! and the mission were horrificly boring and homogeneous! But as I said, the universe was absolutely great! and it deserved a much much better game! plus one of the things that really bothered me was the power difference between the ships belonging to the different houses .. how come you couldn't get a Liberty fighter which could mount lvl 10 weapons and shields? Rheinland would be able to destroy everyhing in an all-out war, simply because they had vastly superior ships to everyone else! that made no sense to me .. I know it was because you progressed through the game that way.. but for the multiplayer part they could've at least added less powerful and more powerful ships to each nation .. so you had some different designs to choose from!

really? I didn't get that report .. I only got that one about it being able to instantly spawn an infinite amount of Qurans (or Bibles for that matter) to rain down on the infidels ..

yes it was something about such a detailed plan for a Death Star .. that you would be able to build one only with wet blankets .. it's true!

Yes .. but all rumors are currently labeled "Top Secret", as these would affect national security!
