Shut up.

Go smallpox, GO!

Only broken when Fio posts them?

^h8...

While I know you are not addressing me specifically, I'll just let you know I'm Spanish. And we have a bit of an immigration problem as well. Just so you don't mischaracterize me. Not saying you would, of course.

Yes. Because operating outside of the law is so much fun, everyone wants to do it! Edited for DRAMA! No, only about 50% of them. Actually, you should re-read the article. It's more about the increasing efficiency in identifying illegal immigrants in US jails and prisons so they can be deported, than an actual study on the proportion of criminal illegals. There isn't a direct relation between the fact that 50% of the deported illegal immigrants last year had criminal records and the actual proportion of illegal immigrant criminals. After all, it makes sense that criminals have more chances of being deported than non-criminals. EDIT: damn I'm dense today.

In fact, theft is defined differently than you think. Right now, the way illegal immigrants are integrated into the economic tissue of the country makes it so they provide more than they take from it. Therefore, it's not theft. Probably. But then many small and mid-sized businesses would not be able to operate, which may lead to a certain degree of economic recession. Not that you care about that, though, as it would be a LAWFUL depression. Another word whose meaning obviously escapes you. Maybe you should stick to monosyllabes from now on? Yes. Because operating outside of the law is so much fun, everyone wants to do it! Edited for DRAMA!

Please present some proof to back your claim that Paul didn't attempt to silence the gnostic sects... You are using fallacious arguments.

"R00fle!" all you want, but I have trouble picturing people that live below the threshold of poverty and whose only aim is to feed themselves and their families abroad as "immoral thieves". And in many cases, if their employers had to rely on legal labor, they would go bankrupt... Keep in mind that not everyone that is not Volourn is an Evil Megacorporation.

Well, the edit function can be used to the same effect. Hell, the "post reply" feature can be (and has been) used to that effect. There's no 100% troll-proof system. Is it fair that all users have to see useful features removed because there's a slim possibility for misuse? That's not a very sound reasoning, I'd say. And after giving it some thought, I do think the rating system is pretty silly and pointless, and is good only to cause frictions. All the regulars know what the others are about mostly, and seeing "2 stars" under a user's name may lead new members to unfair preconceptions. Wait until the I-rate-you-you-rate-me thing starts hitting hard. People are going to start forming even tighter groups than before... not pretty.

GiebMeGoldplz?

First off, adding "r00fles!" at the end of your posts does not strengthen your case, regardless of what you might have heard. And then, I never said "it's ok" to have illegal immigrants. But they exist, and removing them is not easy or even viable without causing new (and possibly worse) problems. They most certainly can't be "thrown out" just like that. Other than that, yeah. Countries should be able to uphold their right to police their boundaries as they see fit, all immigrants should be required to go through all proper official procedures, and all that jazz. In theory.

Empire what? " j/k As for the fence itself... yeah. As Josh said, illegal immigrants serve a purpose. If you remove them with initiatives like this, you're going to cause more trouble than you're actually solving...

You talking to yourself, bub?

Stupid AI I tell ya. There's no damned pause button either. :angry: I might have to reload that game. However, save on those bonus levels, their freaking cheap. I think St. Louis is the one where you basically have to take a hill.....that's surrounded by trenches......filled with super mutants......with one narrow pass up the hill....manned by supermutant snipers that use machine guns as such. Sick. I could never get up that hill. The game cheats. Its like instant kill the moment you walk on that path up the hill. In fact it's not that the game cheats. It's a bug with how the game manages the spread from burst fire. You see, if an enemy shoots one of your characters with an automatic weapon from the other side of the map, they'll miss (naturally). However, anyone near the intended target of the burst will always get hit by the burst spread. The bug works for the player just the same, too. If I'm not mistaken you should have come by a sniper rifle by that point, or there's one you can get in that mission. That, stealth, and grenades (loads of 'em) are the way to go in St. Louis. Certain Deathclaws (the one that "specialises in disembowelment" and Mother, I think) can make short work of lone muties too, if you can sneak up to them. The second part is to take all the heavy weaponry you get in that mission back to base...

Wait a second. The main reason why this debate keeps going (as it has, and it will) is because while you can't prove the existence of a God, you can't disprove it either. It's by definition impossible. So, what's that "evidence" you're talking about, again? Human manipulation of and based on religion and the concepts of spirituality and metaphysical realities beyond our own are different things; moral judgements derived from the former are of no consequence to the possible validity of the latter.

Unfortunately the books have been discontinued, so finding them in stores will be a tad difficult. I don't know what's the legal status on the IP, though, so I wouldn't know if it would be legit to acquire them via P2P. Perhaps Kafty can be of more help since he was in a similar situation when we ran our V:tM game.

You know only the fabrications you have read and deduced. Your god is not tangible therefore you cannot justly say you "know" anything about it. We all know the stories and you repeating them does not strengthen the case. We all perceive it as we wish and that is our prerogative. While, it is your prerogative to try and sway us you have done nothing but regurgitate, in my mind, drivel. When I say show me evidence you show me unproven stories and romantic fantasies. Your deductions and perceptions are not proof. I want evidence that is proved to the extent that it can be proven. Wherein, I am asking for tangible evidence not more "insight" into fictional stories. Prove that you are in and of yourself, and not just a figment of my imagination. I will settle for the reverse, too.

Whatever.

But please, keep 'em coming! I can never get enough of animal sexuality.

Well, an in-game explanation is given for the way this branch of the BoS operates. An explanation that meshes well with the BoS plot from FO2 in which their sectarian philosophy has caused their numbers to dwindle to the point of having to outright abandon some of their outposts. I don't see how that's irreconcilable with the canon established in FO and FO2, really.

Can you step out of character for just a moment and be more specific? Because, in fact, it's looking more and more like it's you who is entrenched in a set opinion, that no amount of discussion can affect. But who am I kidding anyway. You are Hades after all.
