The guy wrote a good article on what he wanted to see, I agree with him and would like to see most of them (except Chrono trigger) get a decent sequal. NiGHTs got a lame GBA port but still it needs a full game on the dreamcast.
Or these idiots will bring blogs to the level of E-mail. It "can" be useful, but 9 times out of 10 it's just some guy wanting to sell you water labeled as dick extending magic potion.
Slashdot is a funny old place. Some days you can scream heresy and get modded 5+ for it. The next day you can say exactly what the group think says and you'll get modded troll. In the past I've had some really insightful comments modded to 5 then down to -1 before being modded to 1-2ish. It's really quite queer..
I suggest you read my other posts. Religion can be positive or destructive just as anything else can be. It's just popular to mock it for the idiots who mock science for the same reasons.
Every group has idiots who scream and shout. Pick any group and you will see extreme people wishing to force all into their view point. These people would be just as bad in scientist or religion.
Science is a religion my friend. The guy seems to misunderstand this.
Science is a group of people guessing blindly and then "proving it", only for it to be disproved when we get better technology and find a better matching pattern. Monkey boy up there (can't say he's acting any better than a monkey can we really?) doesn't quite get this concept. He's viciously attacking "the other side", rather than seeing his own sides weakness (as many religious people do).
Too many people have 100% faith in science, they fail to understand what science is (as do many of these insane ID prophets fail to understand that if you could prove God invented evolution he truely would be an amazing thing). So instead they just viciously assault everything and anything which isn't the same as them..
This applies to everything from sexism to racism. Ignorant fuckers wanting to look better than "them other people".
I'm not religious, not even remotely, yet I need to point something simple out to you.
There will always be a place for God no matter what you say or do. Theres one thing no one can explain and science will never EVER come close to.
"What made the stuff which made us?"
You can't say "It was just there", something had to have made it in some form. After all everything has a reaction, so we must have an action to make it. Yet we have no action which can explain it..
So I leave you with this problem we have. There will always be a hole for God, even in Science there is ultimately one thing which must be "Some super being did it", but then of course we have "what made the super being?"
You also may want to bitch slap yourself for what you're saying. You're acting like religion is some big uber lie. You act like it's eating your barbies and raping your little sister.. Religion fits a nice hole, if people listen to the right bits it's truely a sight to behold. "Everyone is equal, you should be good to others and don't insult someone untill you're perfect" is a damn good out set up for a nice person. But hey lets just ignore the nice religious people who don't force their views on us and just act nicely to us. They're obviously the minority because we all know the news papers don't always report the biggest, loudest and most flamebait style news to get attenction now do they?
The minority screams the loudest because the majority doesn't need to.
I got a reply(by most) today. He agreed with me fully and said he's against the abuse of rights and such. It turns ou the also founded a civil liberties group in the conservative party which I'll have to look into, but still seems it went well.
Sorry but this is legit.. you really could plan things using Google Earth. All they would need to do is blur it out. Don't hide it's there, but make it so you can't use the map to plot against it.
That way the maps still accurate, but it's the difference between "Take the second left, third right, fourth right and then knock on the door theme times" and "it's some where over there".
In that way you're also part of the problem.. If you're willing to sit and take it without going "screw this I'm going else where" (taking all your money and taxs with you), you more or less tell the government they can do whatever they like because you'll stay if it becomes Nazis Mark 2 and you're Jews Mark 2..
Even so you've got to admit you do kind of ask for a lot of the slack you get. I don't know where you learnt to write headlines and articles but, some do come close to selling junk. You post a lot about games and I can't think of another game review by anyone but you (or you once insulting a game, just saying it's mildly okay at worst).
So come on Zonk, write some real articles and review more than the latest fad. Surely you can give us all a Christmas present and stop whoring things for a few days/weeks?
What makes an expert though? I've got a huge knowledge of many things which is really far beyond "normal" knowledge. Does this make me an expert or just someone who reads a lot of stuff?
What one person calls an expert someone else calls them an idiot.. so what defines it in this case?
Yea, the ONE time a Nigerian with a real need for your help (which will make you dirty rich) e-mails you, it'll get filtered out.. such a shame really..
Just because someone is 12 doesn't mean he/she is like every other 12 year old. Amazingly enough you can have younger/older characters and still attract people who arn't the same age and gender. If you enjoy a film then you enjoy a film, the actors ages shouldn't come into it as long as they can act well.
Maybe next you'll be telling us no adults watch Harry Potter for Emma Watson..
Erm.. maybe you read it wrongly. "Standards" depends on who's standards, sounds to me they haven't found away to sell enough junk and keep the story how the artists want it. When they do it'll roll on.
Slashdot Mirror
Welcome to slashdot, not only do we do your job 100 times better for you, we also stalk you so we can slip into your life seemlessly..
Seriously, you're going WAY beyond the "sane" limit here. It's kinda scary that you want his phone number and have his address..
Sounds oddly like a DS to me..
Oh yea because reviews are all that matters.
The guy wrote a good article on what he wanted to see, I agree with him and would like to see most of them (except Chrono trigger) get a decent sequal. NiGHTs got a lame GBA port but still it needs a full game on the dreamcast.
It's already out in Japan, all the FMVs have leaked and everyone knows that Rikku dies... so that solves the marketing hype..
Or these idiots will bring blogs to the level of E-mail. It "can" be useful, but 9 times out of 10 it's just some guy wanting to sell you water labeled as dick extending magic potion.

Yea, easier to just deny everything..
Every group has idiots who scream and shout. Pick any group and you will see extreme people wishing to force all into their view point. These people would be just as bad in scientist or religion.
Not all religions are "We're right END OF STORY!". There are also ones which say "these are the holy text, you can define them how you wish".

Some how I suspect this doesn't bode well..
Excellent, I'll write it up later and send it by post after Christmas.
What do you think would count as proof though? I've lived in the area for twenty years so I'm clearly not some nutter just moved in or anything.
Is there a single topic you don't attempt for first post Trip? :P
Some how I fear I'll get this or "But The terrorists! to be any response I get..
I live in a conservative area though, maybe I'll get lucky and he'll be anti labour.
Any advice on how to write? I suck at formal letters and have all the English skills of a brick trying to find how to open the door to a green house..
Anyone know who I complain to? This is outright ridiclous and I want to bitch and shout about it as much as possible to all the right people.
So these right people are..?

Wow, who do you market movies for?
