The guy drawing Jews as if they were retards was also not realy sure of his life at the end of Nazi Germany, now was he?
Getting a little perspective here is key... The people in the middle east only see the USA start ruling their country and in the process of waging an uncalled for war, you see your family member die in the process. "Oops! This rocket should have not land on your innocent daughter... Sorry dude."
Get some fucking perspective. There are lunatics everywhere! Be it muslims or not... Offend a guy from a motor gang isn't going to help either, but you're just brainwashed by magnified incidents that happen to happen everywhere on a daily basis. So once again I cannot stress enough to grow some brain cells and start thinking for yourself. Instead of letting be thought for you... Makes sence?
I live in the Netherlands and let me tell you this: this so called islamic threat is a joke. You should get you head out of that shithole called geenstijl.nl and grow some brains.
Maybe I've been brainwashed too much by mainstream media (I prefer not to watch it, but everybody does so in the end I am recieving it too), but I have never looked at it that way!:o
He has a point. It's not like all these other theories in which people that get interviewed aren't allowed to give counter-weight towards claims and question and all... Which is good.
I am not a US citizen and I have not had to deal with being a potential target, but in my country, this spying thing is comming too: Rfid passports and public trafic cards. Camera's starting to pop up in large cities, on streetcorners and my entire traffic back and forth between me and my ISP gets backed up fully by ISPs, every bit and byte, because that's what the goverment demands.
It's a sad story, but who is to blame? Can we still live with all of our rights?
I'd rather give up my safety to get back my freedoms and right. But what about terrorists?
What governments do these days is bad, but even sadder: it seems nessecary. I mean... if you were 'Big Brother', then would you have an idea how to deal with a decentralised, unidentifiable individual threats? Can you think up another way to cope with terrorists?
The simple fact is that there is a terrorist threat. No matter how much BS detectors are now going off in your head, probably, at this very moment. Terrorists who were succesful at harming the 'west' are saying in their videos: "You may stop me, but you can't stop us all!" Sound familiar?
Does the goverment have a choice, realy? And if it were to have that choice, than what is that according to you? Can you think of a way to keep your citizen rights and still be safe? Because the next thing you know, and I know this sounds rediculous and I hate myself for saying this, there will be a 10-11...
So my point here is: does 'Big Brother' have a choice if they want to repect peoples rights? How else can they defend their people? It seems nessecary. But if somebody has a better solution then I'd like to hear it, because it's not my entention to troll and certainly not me trying to convince everyone it's for the better to give up their rights, privacy and freedom.
Ah, geez. Give us a break from your superior, "look at what a life I have, not like those SL losers!' crap.
I said it was also a breeding place for no-life-lusers, not only a breeding place for no-life-lusers, but face it; SL does give people the opportunity and there are, in fact, people that preffer computers > people.
And slutty behaviour is, well, an act of insecurity. Being a slut is not being a nympho. Being a slut is wanting to achieve attention, love and self-respect for being able to get anything that they want. It's not an overcome to become one. Hell it's apthetic... simpley pathetic. But whatever...
Yes... there are almost always rare exceptions to nearly everything... But I do not believe that the majority of people who are incapable to move their bodies are playing SL..
Consider that what you may want to be in fantasy is not what you think your parents would be all too comfortable with you actually being when you turn up for Christmas dinner.
If everybody would just stop trying to live up to bullshit, we would no longer have the problem of living up to anything and people would respect each other a lot more. The biggest bullies where bullied themselves. The world would be such a better place and you would feel so much better. If your parents do not respect you for who you are, for you are their child, then they are simply not your parents. Face it...
If you see 2L as an escape for the fearful, you're too narrow minded. I consider (the adult portion at least) to be an extension of the fantasy world, not a replacement of the real one.
No, that's just you trying to justify your doing.
Get out of your house and start living your lives. Everyone that doesn't respect you for what you are, without even knowing your character, doesn't deserve to be respected in even the slightest kind of way.
... being a refuge for people that do not dare to be themselves in RL.
Want to be a slut? Don't dare to step up to girls? Afraid to date someone or something? Maybe you are a transgender person not willing to act it out in RL? Etc...
In the end it's just for people that fail at RL because they are afraid to be happy and comfortable with themselves. It's also a breeding place for no-life-luser....
I also don't remember the budget deficit being pushed to such historic highs before Reagan, or badly-managed banks and financial institutions being bailed out with taxpayer dollars instead of being allowed to go bankrupt, like any other business when it screws up.
You make it sound like it was a bad thing... If the governments around the world did not use your tax dollars (implying you lose money or get screwed somehow) you, as a tax payer, would be off a lot worse. The economy would have suffered such a blow that you'd be off having a lot less money over the next ten years.
You don't want to get it, do you? THINK! Use your brain, just this once, please?
It's not about the tech they will be using, it's about what they are going to do with it! And who will be be in charge, what powers they will get and what they are capable of doing with it and in the end what will be done with it. Jesus, it that so hard to grasp?
Maybe you have been missing out what has happened the last couple of years... Tracking, documenting and automating it all to watch your every move. Cameras, scans, wiretapping the entire world, logging ISP traffic, etc, etc, et fscking cetera!
I have nothing to prove. Repeatingly calling you for what you are is just me having a rant.
If you would just open up your eyes, do the math, look at what has happened, what is happening now and think about what it is that governments are doing. Hostory, you might have never heared about this saying, repeats itself.
Yes it is, because this so called 'secure' internet is nothing but an extreme typo. It has nothing to do with security. It has everything to do with control. Corrupt as anything that's large is today, it will, only, mean less freedom.
No... It will mean total opression.
Given the fact that the internet is the only viable global communication tool and the only place to aquire all knowledge in the world, this new 'secure from citizens' net is going to nuke individual knowlegde and education, truth, and anything worth living for!
But the real threat are people like you: idiots that are allowed to vote. Idiots that are easily manipulated. Idiots like you that governments can fool and thus be able to do whatever it likes.
You, yes you, are the kind of morons that fsck up everything for everyone else!
And I moved from Windows to Linux, much later on.... Heeeeeeeeeyyyy!:D
Viable alternative my ass. The only reason Windows ever got mainstream is not because it was a good OS. It was probably the biggest garbage ever invented. But Windows had apps. Windows had Microsoft Office and what is used at work...
So... I, for on, am looking forward to buy a Thinkpad x61 tablet and Fedora 12 with that touch screen goodness... I hate Fedora but you gotta love Fedora 12: bluetooth tethering by default in the GUI networkmanager and Inkscape. Kaboom baby. Wine also got to the point that 50% of all my games (regardless of age) work better on Linux than on Windows 7 so...
Ofcourse there are some die hards here that read/. with lynx, but anybody that views/. with a graphical web browser, like FireFox or Konqueror has a computer that's powerfull enough to run Emacs at insane speed...
Back in the day Vi was lightweight and all that, but since that's no longer the problem... why? Why? For the love of God... WHY?!
Must be the people that learned it Back In The Day (TM) and sticked to what they learned, but is there any reason why new kids on the block would even learn it?
"No. Reading the news coverage-- which is extensive-- the point was that he was not on the list, but probably should have been." So much for Dutch mainstream news coverage... I am not going to follow that anymore. Excuse me. It was not my intention to troll.
""No. Reading the news coverage-- which is extensive-- the point was that he was not on the list, but probably should have been." Huh?" Everything that goes in and out is checked like everyone is a potential terrorist. Even pale white families with visible Nazi tattoos are treated like everyone else (I am not a racist).
But then no alarms going of with this Al Qaida person jumps on a plain to the USA makes me wonder WTF the NSA was thinking, or maybe what they were not thinking...
With hospitals and medicine, people that are 'supposed' to die stay alive and are able to replicate. That means that weaker genes do no dissapear from the gene pool.
In other words: reverse evolution, or maybe even no evolution anymore...
We, as humans, have taken evolution into our own hands and with that power comes great responsibility. But with cloning techniques coming around the corner, this might actually even be the most ethical solution.
I don't believe this terrorism BS. It was supposedly a man who was on the USA most wanted list. In the USA airplanes flights are almost waterproof and there were no alarms sound.
Either the US National Security Agency is a complete joke, which could be the case, or this whole thing stinks.

You have obviously entirely missed the point...
"In the end it's just for people that fail at RL because they are afraid to be happy and comfortable with themselves."
In other words... they do not fail as a part of societies expected standards, per se, they just fail for themselves.
I think you should re-read what I posted...

Why didn't you run it with Eduke32 + Polymer renderer + High Resolution Pack? Eduke32 has a native Linux client.
It looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgRElqgL6Zs
