This has happened all over London as well. In the 4 years I was there.. i used to know of about 25 pieces.. and when i left they were down to about 7.
The small "Rats" have a particular knack of getting painted over.. they are all gone, bar one that I know of, in London.
one of the first online multiplayer RPGs, Neverwinter Nights, which introduced many of the developer and user behaviors, such as custom guilds
I was annoyed by this statement enough to write that text-based MUDs (Multi-User dungeons) were doing massive multiplayer RPGs long before Neverwinter nights.. and they had customizable guilds as well! If you're going to write an article about unsung game heroes at least sing about the actual heroes!
No it does not mean that, you buffoon. I never said I'm ALWAYS looking for new work.. I said WHEN I'm looking for new work. As it happens I have 2 passports and green card. I change countries and I also contract. Contracts aren't always forever.
*clap* *clap* Well done. I must confess, that I thought I almost had won that encounter, but your insightful rebuttal has completely obliterated my argument. You have just totally proven me right with your weakest.response.ever.
[Citation needed] It is underhanded of you to cherry-pick definitions to support only your argument Webster Dictionary describes it as:
2) racial prejudice or discrimination (a.k.a "the act, practice, or an instance of discriminating categorically rather than individually")
So now that we have citations and more definitions.. it is clear that not allowing a monkey picture of someone because of their race is clearly discriminating by a category (their race) instead of on their personal merit of resembling a monkey. You are supporting a racist argument. You really are. You think you're doing the right thing, but you're merely perpetuating stereotypes.
If you're going to call someone daft.. you'd better make sure you make sense. Racism is to treat someone differently because of their race.. and to specifically not compare someone to a monkey because of their race is as equally racist as to compare someone to a monkey because of their race. You're too blind (or is it myopic?) to see that you are in fact being racist. Think about it for a second next time.
How the hell is this photo racist? In G.W. Bush's last term I must've seen 20 photos of him being compared to a chimp, either superimposed (which he did resemble) or side-by-side.. was that racist as well? I can't stand these double standards.
I am pretty sure you need a certain number of followers to be a "religion" otherwise you are just a cult. Cults have significantly fewer rights than religions and are not recognised legally. This is why the number of Jedis is significant.. if they've made it to being a census category, they may be a recognised religion... like the Flying Spaghetti Monster
Remember:
Cult = Tens or hundreds "crazy" people who believe in some god
Religion = Thousands of "upstanding" people who believe in some god
I think this really depends on whether Jediism is actually a registered religion. If it is or it ever becomes so, there is going to be a lot of hoodie wearing kids ready to sue.
As much as this seems like a joke, if the following quote:
"Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood.
was said instead as "Many muslim women have appeared Burqa-less, so why can't she?" they would get the pants sued off them.
"If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."
What is more if they said: "If women walk around our store with their burqas on, they'll miss lots of special offers", i'm pretty sure there would be outcry for a boycott, because of perceived insensitivity.
1) Find a quote from the article, and claim you've always known it, and what is more everybody already knows it.
2) Make AWESOME generalisations about "how, like, men and women are different, yeah?"
Really insightful. Can we remove the current judges and get new ones?

... who have zero support on weekends.. got a problem with a game key on Saturday? You've gotta wait until Monday to resolve it. Thanks Stardock!
I can't believe with all that time they've got up there, they wasted their first tweet not writing
That's one small tweet for man. One giant tweet for mankind.
He is.
I think i speak for everyone when I say this
WTF!??!?

This is funny because it's true! I USED to be a Delphi developer, but the work started drying up in Australia and I changed over to .Net
I have never looked back. My skills are always in demand. When I am looking for a new job, I get one in days.
In breaking news!! A new search website has been released called "Google"

"Nope." is Myopic's Win-All answer to this topic

What next? Paper books?!!/?!??!
Looks like "First!" is still in vogue. If not in name, then in scoring at least.
How to write an "Insightful" comment
1) Find a quote from the article, and claim you've always known it, and what is more everybody already knows it.
2) Make AWESOME generalisations about "how, like, men and women are different, yeah?"
Really insightful. Can we remove the current judges and get new ones?
KDawson not do their reasearch properly?!? That's un-possible!!!!
