Indifference to pleasure or pain; impassiveness. (i agree with the pain part in general, the pleasure part is the one i disagree with)

my adoptive father is a person who is in my eyes very stoical. this is a trait and way of life that i respect and deplore at the same time. basically in some circumstances i think it incredibly suitable and in others not at all suitable. surely if i was my adoptive fathers son i would have inhereted a certain degree of stoicism but i am not and wear my heart on my sleeve, or enough that if a friend offends me it really eats away at me and i feel the need to share etc. i have met a situation which i feel calls for stoicism (im trying to be more stoical in general) and have got my dad to tell me how he would deal with the situation, i am following his advice and it is torturous. im just wondering if you stoics out there would care to tell me how you manage it and just give me some guidance because my dad wont go into emotion in much detail. by guidance i mean if you actually really have to try hard at it, or does it just come to you naturally?

nah the best is still from kotor1, the time old and legendary MOOKA SHAKA PAHKA damned twilek

trying to some up a religion in one paragraph is sheer arrogance

as opposed to the anime fans that pleasure themselves over cartoons....

like positive and negative matter? (sophistry; chief tool of the politician)

"christianity"

if you take a different set of statistics, say a survey of the worlds best physicists, you will find that the majority believe in god....

the labour majority (if taken percentage wise) is the least comfortable one on record dude

i have become totally alienated from this forum, i do miss it occasionally like tonight so i decided id come on and post a thread, alas it was to no avail. iv had some interesting times on this forum tho so its just me being pathetic and sentimental, and now im rambling

my science teacher has an iq of 162, which is pretty formidable. he believes in god. although he did spend like 18 months researching the bible to see if it was bull**** or not, and he came to the conclusion that it was more likely to be true than bs so thats just one more clever person who believes in god. personally i dont.

look, dont go see doctor goa whatever you do otherwise its off to the asylum for you :D (i also think that your not in your right mind but im vindictive and had to do some sort of i told you so)

one strikingly obvious corporate group comes to mind " lets just see what happens anway, im just trying to make conversation dude

im not a one for polls to be honest and i know this topic has been much discussed but i dont recall a poll sooooooo: personally i would rather wait that extra year and get a game that really is something special. obviously this isnt the case for all games but there are quite few which would have benefited from more development time, to the extent that they were out and out classics.......

look! a flying pig bang

" Well, the New Republic doesn't last long. It falls and gets replaced with the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances near the end of the Vong invasion storyline." it lasted at least twice as long as the empire, but then that wasnt really a good period to make anything entertaining from id like either really, but prefer the new republic one, i would quite enjoy exploring the whole next generation of jedi and whole rediscovery thing

sure they just want money, but they are surely 'shrewd' enough to realise that a better way to get more money is to improve upon the quality of the next game

hmm, perhaps. i have a little more faith than that, if another kotor is made i think it will be given the time it needs

kotor is lucasarts franchise, i would be quite interested to see how they turned out kotor3, would they rush and sacrifice the quality of the game, or take their time and make it a game worthy of the history books...........

they arent plays on words, that is far to casual a term, i suspect that they are central to the personality of the sith, a very intimate and important thing, much like the forging of a lightsaber. i mean if you look at the most obvious one 'darth vader' he chose it unaware that he was a father, george lucas was very deliberate with that one......................

if the boards are shut down we will all be a little cross and dissapointed, but those who want to will find new boards and communities, then hey presto 1 month later no one even cares that these boards are gone get over it kids, all gd things end, and stop being such drama queens, its hardly violation of our human rights

the joys of old news *search function (im turning into the grumpy old dude already)

why should people expect to be screwed round with if they ask an question which has a seemingly simple answer?!?! it took my 3 playthroughs to crack the mandalorians on kashykk in numero uno

isnt it cinematic?

stop being such a sophist
