  1. The first four words in the above sentence are just about correct. Otherwise, this thread as a whole, reveals a lot of ignorance in people who should be able to be better informed. Terrorism is a symptom right. How do you remove it ? You figure out the cause and then remove the cause. And before another ignorant hillbilly suggest that the cause of terrorism is terrorist organisations, the answer is wrong answer. The most frequent cause of terrorism is hopelesness. For the last couple of thousands of years, most guerilla activity has been waged by a hopelessly outclassed side against a superior side. Spartacus burned, raped and pillaged his way through the roman empire when there was no hope of victory left. The spanish waged a brutal guerilla war against napoleonic occupation forces a few centuries ago. The afghan mujahedin waged an equally atrocious "campaign of terror" against the soviet forces (funny, nobody complained about terrorists then) and finally, the palestinians, driven from their homes and farmland, living in refugee camps with no future has no means of striking back, except using everything at hand, including their own bodies as a weapon against all representatives of a hated occupation force. The Nazis recruited people without hope, hamas recruits people without hope, a dozen south american guerillas recruit people without hope. If somebody truly wanted to stop terror, they would offer the human resources that gets recruited into such organisations a hope for a future. If people can't see that, then the "war against terror" is already lost. It's called using the brain instead of more guns (using lots of guns in the first place accomplishing absolutely nothing for world peace).
  2. Aren't these redundant ?
  3. Way to go Sweden... Oops, I hope nobody heard that... being danish etc.
  4. Damn, damn, damn! Those italian minimalists. Wonder how our poor danish boys are doing after all that running around in 34 degrees celcius... :ph34r: That game deserved a couple of goals in both ends. B)
  5. There can be no harmony without FO3... :angry:
  6. Does the force work underwater ? If so, why couldn't I use against the Firaxans (spelling) on Manaan ? If not, Darth Fish is going to have a tough time ruling Manaan...
  7. Nah, the only good selkath is one that T3 had fried with his flamer. Tender all the way through and served with lemon and a few herbs.
  8. My favourite part of Kotor1 was actually the undercity (and sewers) of Taris. I'm not sure why, but it had the mix of postapocalyptic elements, doom and gloom etc. that adds up to more than the sum of it's parts. But then, I'm biased, I'm a Fallout fan It would be nice if the could bring that atmostphere to more parts of the game. B) ps: and blue jumpsuits
  9. Ok, you piqued my curiosity... why did you start playing Kotor then ? Because it was a crpg or because it was a Star Wars game ?
  10. Did you have any problems with the romances in BG2 ? Looking at the female ones, only Jaheira was halfhuman for goodness sake. The other two were elves, freaks of nature, monstrosities. And yes, even Jaheira, being only half human should have been locked up in a cage and showed to the public as the deviant she is... At least the good citizen of Athkatla (spelling?) had the good sense to at least try to burn Viconia... B)
  11. Now I become a real geek. C++ evolved from C, yes. C evolved from B, yes. B however evolved from BCPL (it was a "light" version of BCPL and got the short name B )
  12. Which is a shame really... Part of the fun of crpgs is exactly that, doing things you can't or won't do in real life. Whether it being exploring alternate sexuality, robbing all the villagers homes of all their possessions or just throwing a plasma grenade into a crowd in the hope of hitting your favourite villain in the blast... It's all about eploring alternatives. Otherwise you might as well take a walk in the park and study life. B)
  13. Don't even start in that direction... :ph34r: *cough*goat*cougn*romance*coungh*...
  14. An alternative way of spelling bigot bigot n. obstinate believer who is intolerant of others.  bigoted adj. bigotry n. [French] Thats just until maria gets to him with Spelmar... Her big spiky Spelmar... :ph34r:
  15. It's just fuel for a meat machine. Your warranty is void anyways. Imagine the following dialogue down in the candy store... Chocolate: "Oh no, please spare us, you can't do this to us, it's unnatural !!!" Gorth: "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated..."
  16. It's not "unnatural". It's a byproduct of human evolvement. Caries bacteria will generate teeth destroying byproducts to survive in your mouth. Various fungi will kill off entire ecosystems to modify it to their needs. Humans will kill off most of the planet to suit their needs. It's not unnatural, just sad. Again, don't confuse moral values with what is natural. Natural doesn't mean good or right.
  17. I think somebody is trying to combine the words "Natural" and "Moral" or some such. It stopped making sense two pages ago, now it's just a fun derailed topic. If we were to act "naturally", we have sex with as many partners all autumn, the younger the better, in order to create as many offspring the following the spring and raise them during the summer. You would get in trouble though if you ran out and raped all the 13-15 old girls you could come across, even though it's the most "natural" thing to do. Thats why things like "Moral" was invented in order to protect the invidual rights and freedom to choose (consentual sex). Natural does not necessarily mean "right", depending on your moral values.
  18. Have you never done something out of a sense of duty, even if you didn't really feel like doing it ? Could be they had same sex preferences for entertainment and opposite sex for necessity. Ancient Greece had some funny ideas about these issues, and that was the same people who invented democracy (a sick and unnatural thing )
  19. What happened to your sense of adventure ?!?
