    terrible example. Breaking the speed limit is immoral since you are needlessly endangering yourself and others. breaking the law jaywalking in an empty street might be illegal but its not generally immoral.... Though i do agree with your concept, legal and moral are widely unrelated.

    lol the 6000year view of the bible comes from following things back day to day until you got to adam and eve. Even if what you said about genesis was ok. Then you are still saying mankind is only 6000years old, even if the world isnt. We know from historical evidence civilizations are older than that. Even without using carbon dating that people hate so much.

    That just means you are a coward. There are very few brave logical and well-educated religious people. Though the proof is fun. Religion often comes when fear forces beats your logical thinking and fills in blanks. Like, my grandpa died. With straight logic you would think he is gone. With fear you dont want him to be just gone. You think, he has gone to heaven. Also I am going to bet that you were raised religious. It takes less fear to make irrational statements if you were raised from a young age with those statements.

    The EFF won't look like the heroes they are in 100 years. They will look like a glorified joke ... like a historical version of states the obvious man. All their victories are like this one. 'EFF convinces world you cant sue people for receiving gifts you sent them in the mail.' just doesn't sound that heroic does it.

    "My only crime was that I was going against conventional slashdot "wisdom." I supported Bush, I supported the war, and I made my opinions clear without stooping to petty insults and name-calling, and I was the one who got temporarily banned."

    Thats because its stupid ... poo-head. Seriously though Bush is so hated saying anything good about him IS flamebait. Most /. readers dont seriously believe someone can be pro-war and pro-bush at this point. So it is seen as you baiting. I don't think they were persecuting you for your choice, its just so ridiculous that they thought you were joking.

    arena was well balanced last i played... If you check out the charts you will see the top teams all have different members with different builds. Priests can easily go any of the main 4~5 builds and do really well in arena. Hunters as well, i've seen each of the trees do well. I mean, tank warriors wont do well but aside from that you get alot of selection. THOUGH there isn't alot of gear selection.... wear the pvp gear mebbe some marks gear .... maybe tier gear and you are done...

    The game is ONLY fun in pvp. Leveling sucks. Questing sucks. Instances suck. Why do you think its called a grindfest?

    PvP is the only place you get to pit yourself against actual other people. You are guaranteed a challenge and there are nearly endless little bits of strategy to work out. Of course the bigger ones arent great since theres usually no coordination. But if you get coordinated with 5+ people which shouldn't be too hard... WSG AB and every size arena. AV and EOTS can be fun with some luck and a decent matchup. In a good matchup with a good team a 5v5 arena match can take more skill and coordination to pull off than a game of CS. Certainly more strategy.

    ROFL you think it MIGHT not have any accepted medical uses in the states because its ILLEGAL. In other countries its used for medicine. I am amazed you used the argument that its illegal so obviously it should be illegal.

    animals? ^^;;;; weed is legal in plenty of countries and is tested in those countries. I don't see why getting animals stoned would be such a barrier. Also the article you pointed to refers to the possible scientific backing of the 'gateway grug' theory. It doesnt say anything really on the addictive qualities of cannabis. Anyways cannabis is rated well below cocacola nvm coke on the addictive scale.

    weed isnt physiologically addictive either until you get to about a few pounds of it a day. If you are doing that much weed addiction is the least of your problems. Good luck finding a study that says any different.

  21. Re:Yet another "Fuck You" to PPC on TransGaming Launches Mac Game Portal · · Score: -1, Troll

    Lol what apple have you been following? Mac is made to be incompatible with everything including itself and users. Part of their whole dare to be different thing. Thats why iPods commit suicide if you use them as data storage (features they didnt explicitly give you). Its also why everytime the iPod gets a patch you can't use programs aside from itunes to put music on it until they've figured out wth apple did. Also why the ipod doesnt use a mini usb cable to connect to the computer. If they thought they could get away with making a different audio out than standard they would.
     
      If you bought a Mac to be compatible and play games on you REALLY picked the wrong system. Macs are there to be expensive different and cool in a i wear a french beret kind of way.
     
      I'm not saying windows is any better with standards but atleast they have enough of a market share to bully people into adopting standards. Mac is like an effeminate midget telling everyone what to do or else, it just doesnt work. Really buying a mac is like moving into a dictatorship. You get told what speakers what camera what printer and what keyboard you get to use (if they arent already welded into a single piece). In exchange you get to pay extra and if anything breaks pay ALOT extra. But you feel safe knowing that everything is uniform, like walking in lockstep.

    Slapping a child isnt bad because of the physicality of it, i'm sure they wont be injured by it.

It also ruins trust completely. Making hitting in any form acceptable or commonplace is bad. I'm sure or ~_~ well atleast i hope you wouldnt hit your wife in the same way so why your child?
