  1. Wtf is that bogemon shit everybody are talkin bout?

    Some guy called Pookeyman. Apparently he's well into animal cruelty. He goes out and beats up wild animals, imprisons them and then makes them fight each other for his own amusement. It's quite dark really, not for kids.

  3. On the contrary, I believe he does.

    You think the machines weren't horrendously overpriced on day one either?

    I have 10 Macs in the next room (I work in schools).

    I guarantee you that they get one-hundredth of the usage of any other PC on site.

    Similar situation, the last place I was had a shithot mac suite, 2 rooms of 32 top line macs. All duel booted in windows, the only time they ever really got used was when the laptops ran out and then they booted in windows. Only a couple teachers wanted to use them as macs and even then they generally booted windows mode unless for something specifically mac.

    Q: How do you know if someone has a mac?

    A: Just wait, they'll tell you.

  10. I know. Lets make a wonderwoman movie but cast a man as the lead role and not even change the name.

    Worked for thor.

  11. The problem was that people were claiming it sucks the moment the movie was announced. They knew nothing about it whatsoever, except for who the leads were. People were not keeping an open mind on it, they declared it bad merely because it was a remake.

    Because normally when people hear remake they don't think this will be a high quality film worth seeing instead of meh.

    Curse all you want, you're still wrong. Go look up "incitement".

    In-cite(ment) - word - Encouragement to do something, not doing the thing itself.

    You could try and charge them with incitement to commit a crime or something but not murder, c'mon. Murder is a very specific thing and you want it cheapened to be any one associated with someone who may have been able to but didn't actually kill anyone, premeditated or otherwise.

    Either way Christ's sacrifice was 'enough' and always will be.

    Enough for what though? To remove sin from the world? Sin is still in the world. All sin up until that point was instantly forgiven? So heaven was a closed shop before that and all the hell residents suddenly got a pass and moved up? If it always will be why does sin continue to be a thing, original or otherwise? What did it achieve, the world was just as miserable after the fact, only though human endeavour has anything improved not divine will.Why did it even have to happen in the first place, if god is this all powerful omnipotent being why bother with any of it in the first place?

    You can't fully understand the reasoning and actions of the almighty. He is to much greater than you, part of faith is to stop trying and start accepting.

    Classic, you win, thanks for playing.

    A lot of things are a sin, aside from being born of course. Do people who go to confession start with I ate meat on a Friday, ate some shellfish and wore poly/cotton blends? If not then they haven't repented all their sins and off to hell it is. That's assuming Christianity is the one though. If Islam is right or any other religion that condemns non believers (pretty much all of them) then it doesn't really matter how much or what they confess.

    The solution is pretty simple. Sterilisation is the price of immortality and we just make more people when we need them either with IVF/lab grown/clones (delete as technology allows) rather than random culls.

    this was before he sent himself to sacrifice himself to himself to save us from himself. Which didn't work.

    How did it not work?

    Didn't work because original sin is still apparently a thing and you're pretty much going to hell regardless. If Jesus is god why does he need to conquer death, and if god can just do whatever he wants whenever why would he even need to? Nope, if you think about for even half a second none of it makes any sense.

    Perhaps this is why God created death..... he saw people like this and said "This can not be, let their be death so we can have renewal."

    Read your bible son, God created death because he put the talking snake(which had legs) in the garden knowing full well what would happen, left the apples on a low hanging branch in the middle of the joint and waited for the snake to do its thing so he could make things die and stop piling up and making the place look untidy (this also introduced the benefit of meat eating and a nice juicy steak). Obviously, this was before he sent himself to sacrifice himself to himself to save us from himself. Which didn't work.

    And here's your biggest stupid. What form of life on earth does not age and die? Name one. Why is that? What does life on earth look like if we cure aging? Well, we better well cure the problem of giving birth at the same time, doncha think? Except a few special people will have to be given the privilege, because accidents and disease will still take a toll. Government will have a heavy hand to make this work. Or do you have a miracle biological solution to this?

    We'll have centuries to work this out. So no, I don't see what's supposed to be the big problem here. At worst, we have the occasional die-offs of people and curb population growth that way. We solve the problem or it solves itself. I find it interesting how people obsess in the little problems just because they can't cope with the idea that an end to aging could happen.

    Centuries to work it out? Centuries of people who don't die making new life which also doesn't die. So before your first hundred years of figuring it out are up you have a massive population well out of control. Do these new immortals need to eat and drink or is that how you plan on letting it sort itself out? Annual culls? Maybe space is the best answer, send these new immortals out into space to colonise the galaxy. Or at least tell them that and shoot them at the sun.
