Post counts aren't everything. I'd rather say something with substance than spam.

I've come to 2 possible conclusions:

1)~ The hatred of new comers has become so fanatical that people are prejudice against anyone they percieve to be a "newbie" regardless of the quality of their posts.

2)~ Your oppinion of me when you think I'm a "n00b" is really what you think of me anyway & you're all just kissing arse.

Which one is it?

The topic of this post is what people think about ultra long posts, not whether they think I should complain.

Anime Girls originally had an actual topic. Then it got taken over by G-Hawk and everybody started spamming till it became bloated and pointless. NG's biggest topic was then started because of it as some sort of longest post competition.

I get a feeling this topic is headed towards what most NG bbs topics seem to become, a forum where people just post whatever they feel like.

X-Box=Big Doorstop

I like PS2 better. However, Gamecube looks cool too. But I like the versatility of the PS2:

-Let's you play PS1 games.
-Don't need to pay 50 bucks extra to play DVDs.
-Get to play "Gradius 3 and 4", "Capcom vs SNK 2", "MGS2" and hopefully "FFX". :)

Now if only Capcom made "Project Justice" for PS2.

Exactly. Another reason gamecube is bad, it doesn't even use full DVDs. They're some sort of smaller, custom disc that doesn't hold as much. If you're gonna make a dis based system, then use the best!

When Nintendo was hyping it before it came out, they kept talking about how they were creating a quality system dedicated to gaming only. Basically, it doesn't have any extra features and they're trying to spin that as a good attribute. What are they thinking? Of course their target market, kids under 12 (or so I think based on their games), would probably never use things ling the ability to play DVD movies, link devices together, play online and browse the net from their system, add USB devices, or ever need the future expansion options such as a hard drive. All of these things PS2 has! Not to mention a cool, slim design.

How bout yours?

These are in my profile but in no particular order,

Thirteen Days

Gallipoli
Tremors

If the internet suckc then maybe we should use alternative forms of communication like smoke signals and carrier pidgeons. We'll scrawl message on stone tablets and hand carry them from place to place.

Seriously, what do u have against the people on the internet? You're one of them!

They should continue on untill their orginal purpose is lost, and all that's left is chaos and stupidity.

. . . and strangely enough, that all happened after the first post in each topic. :D But really, joking aside, The Anime babes thread should be closed if people keep on using goatse pics and/or rotton.com pics. I mean really, who in the right mind has those pics in their harddrives other then sick bastereds that have a strange fantisy with men pulling their rectums out. IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT! STOP WITH ALL THE BULLSHIT!!!!

I'm done

Very true! They lost all sense of purpose about 100 pages ago. All they are now is places for people to post twisted picsand long meaningless ramblings. Not to mention, SPAM!

Just curious as to what opinion is, if any.

Many Worlds seems to be the general consensus

shall we discuss quantum foam?

I agree about MWI, it makes sense, of course, if this turns out to be a solipsistic universe then only I am real and that makes me wonder why I would post this at all. Hmmm... Maybe I'm just discussing this with myself? Thoughts?

Yeah, right. (sarcastically) I wanna get Gamecube and play Mario Party 112,520, not to mention Mario 128, Mario Tennnis, & Mario 128: Mario does the same stuff over and over again.

Then there's Zelda, way past its prime. Majora's Mask was a big dissapointment.

And did I mention, MORE MARIO!

And another Starfox. Makes you wonder if Nintendo has any original ideas or developers?

I love my Xbox. Try to take it away from me and replace it with an inferior PS2 and I will shoot ya

It is technically better but then again it's made by Microsoft (insert evil laugh here). No way they're gonna give out too many of their precious liscenses. Sony already has great games and partnerships with 3rd party developers, companies like Square and Konami.

As for X-Box, it is Microsoft raping you!

If it assumes that there is inherent good in all people, then I wouldn't really go with it because I don't believe in right and wrong. We are capable of all things human, and none of these are evil or riteous to anything other than humans.

------------------------------------------------------

The Enlightenment had come to new rational conclusions about the natural world, mostly based on experimentation and logical thinking. The pendulum was swinging, and a more Romantic way of thinking -- less rational, more intuitive, more in touch with the senses -- was coming into vogue. Those new rational conclusions had raised important questions, but were no longer enough.

German philosopher Kant raised both questions and insights into the religious and philosophical thinking about reason and religion.

This new generation looked at the previous generation's rebellions of the early 19th century Unitarians and Universalists against traditional Trinitarianism and against Calvinist predestinationarianism. This new generation decided that the revolutions had not gone far enough, and had stayed too much in the rational mode. "Corpse-cold" Emerson called the previous generation of rational religion.

The spiritual hunger of the age that also gave rise to a new evangelical Christianity gave rise, in the educated centers in New England and around Boston, to an intuitive, experiential, passionate, more-than-just-rational perspective. God gave humankind the gift of intuition, the gift of insight, the gift of inspiration. Why waste such a gift?

Added to all this, the scriptures of non-Western cultures were discovered in the West, translated, and published so that they were more widely available. The Harvard-educated Emerson and others began to read Hindu and Buddhist scriptures, and examine their own religious assumptions against these scriptures. In their perspective, a loving God would not have led so much of humanity astray; there must be truth in these scriptures, too. Truth, if it agreed with an individual's intuition of truth, must be indeed truth.

And so Transcendentalism was born. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds...A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men."

(from www.transcendentalism.com )
-------------------------------------------------------

Transcendentalism doesn't assume that all people are good, even inherently. It is a search for truth and meaning that states that the foremost aspect of the truth begins within yourself. Look into yourself for your own answers and inspiration rather than take them second hand from somebody else. That is what Emerson meant when he wrote of self-reliance in his famous essay.

So which is better? X-Box or PS2? I'm not even including Gamecube because it has nothing more than remakes of over-done N64 series' and is intended for nobody over the age of 10.

Personally, I prefer PS2 for its game selection and multiple functions and uses. It also looks nice and fits nearly anywhere. As for graphics, PS2 may be technically inferior, but I think it looks just as smooth and complex as X-Box.

What do you think?

Not necessarily.

"I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

"Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say 'I think,' 'I am,' but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose. These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence. Before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more; in the leafless root there is no less. Its nature is satisfied, and it satisfies nature, in all moments alike. But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self Reliance
