You won't be able to "stay away" eventually. But there is no need to install it until M$ starts talking about the next version.

An anarchist commune? With a democratically elected leader, who occupies the castle for a fixed term and ratifies legislation voted in with a two-thirds majority?

Looks very good. I think Also, there is more info on the new races circulating, e.g.: Aasimar.

So it's (partly) YOUR fault, too, then.

So you sum total contribution to the topic is "I believe X, and you should all go out and read more so that you believe it too." Thanks for your valuable contribution!

And this one has hair!

Yes, because the death of innocents will always make things better. Closed due to lack of intelligent input.

I see Venn Diagrams are not your strong point, either, Mr Schu. "

Because if: A ⇒ B then B ⇒ A Great logic, Diamond!

That is totally incorrect and a dangerously facile simplification. For a start, the overwelming majority of causualties in Iraq now are the result of internecine battles, and not direct US action. For example, you are including all the citizens applying for jobs as police that are being killed by homocidal sucide bombers, as they stand in line waiting for an application form. How is that the US's fault? There is also the same amount, or more, torture in Iraq right now than under Suddam Hussein; does that mean the US is torturing all the Iraqi people? No. The "country" of Iraq (which is only a British Empire twentieth century construction, btw, nothing like the ancient Persian civilization next door) is damaged by years of satrap violence against them. You're blaming the paramedics for the drug addict's self-inflicted wounds.

I wonder if he was unable to move (unconscious / too weak) for all this time, or lost?

Because it allows every bedroom wannabe to have their shot at being a game developer?

Point well made; it has been several decades since I last read the PHB, so your incisive editorial is refreshing. So, back to the $64000 question: what alignment is Harry Callahan? Because it seems you are saying he is more like CG ... :D

Isn't that how humans will create the first AI?

Nonsense. Self-sufficiency is a fantasy. I suppose you would have been all onboard with Pol Pot's Communist vision, where everyone was moved from their bourgeoisie Colonial positions and set to work, equally, as proletariat brothers in the fields of the new agrarian cooperatives, too. (Who needs doctors when we can all work in the fields and feel satisfied with a job well done, all our hands calloused with the tonic of honest days' work?) I think you need to read up on a fairly important piece of work published recently by Adam Smith. Namely An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, which examined in detail the consequences of economic freedom, the role of self-interest, the division of labor, the function of markets, and the international implications of a laissez-faire economy (which is the ineluctable result of every country being focused inwards on "self-sufficiency", with no external plan). Oh, and there goes the UN, too.

Keep it topical and not personal or I'll close it.
