I tried making an account, and now it gives me an error message, and doesn't let me start it up. It says something about 'Current context'.

I'm entering the most recent server, and I'm not seeing anybody or any buildings. It keeps putting me in a private server.

What gives?

Normally it's good to be courteous and cautious when dealing with foreign policy, but when you're dealing with weapons capable of killing millions a preemptive strike is sometimes the best option.

THIS IS HOW WE MUST PAY OUR RESPECTS.

MODS, JOIN US IN A DAY OF ANTISILENCE.

Agreed with fatape 100%.

Women usually enjoy serving the domestic role in a relationship, and if the man acts like an ass, it's their fault for not going to the police.

If a suspected pedophile was up on jury anyway, half of America would want him incarcerated.

All people respect him for is his music, which, HEY, is still there.

We can make fun of MJ all we want, it's not like we're saying his music is shit.

See? You can't answer my question. You do think it's happening just because. And that's what I mean by just because! Things that don't have motives or reasons!

Right. Not everything has a motive or reason. You're trying to put meaning into things that have none. I type this because a chain of neurons in my brain is directing my muscles to do so, and the neurons were sent because of the chemical state in my brain mixing the fact that I believe you are wrong and the fact that responding to you is the best way to express that.

What you're doing is the philosophical equivalent of wondering why exactly 3.14 ECT ECT ECT is ALWAYS the EXACT number that dictates the dimensions of a circle when properly calculated, as opposed to the number 8.

Why is it Pi exactly? I don't know. But to wonder why mean you're an idiot.

I'm not saying things 'just happen', I'm saying that everything happens because of incredibly small and subtle interactions between microparticles. Those interaction can be, hypothetically, calculated. Why the calculations add up that way is anybody's guess, and can't simply be explained away with God.

Saying God did it is EXACTLY the same as saying 'just because'.

Why did God do it?

Oh, because either,

A. He works in mysterious ways (I.E. you can't admit you have no fucking clue), or

B. We have yet to find out (You CAN admit you have no fucking clue)

But you know what the similarity is?

THAT YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE.

Just like science! Except we strive to find the answers, and you've already decided the answers.

So, in a way, science and it's application actually knows more about the universe than religion does. All you have is 'God did it'.

I like that fact that it is a cheap way to destroy armored vehicles, but I don't like how slow and inaccurate the grenade is.

This is almost as bad as the time Michael Bolshevik killed those dogs.

I've got nothing.

Go to the gym to get big and strong.

Nobody can be angry or depressed when they're big and strong.

How can anyone be moral when they think that there is no God and that we are so small in this Universe and nothing we do has any impact on anything?
You can do the same with atheism by saying that nothing you do will amount to anything on a cosmic scale so why not do terrible things?
Or maybe you can kill your kid because you think the Universe is going to be destroyed anyway and we will all suffer the same fate for no higher purpose so why keep him alive?

'I'm moral because I do good things because I'm TERRIFIED of punishment from an omnipotent being, as opposed to those immoral atheists who do the same good things who aren't doing it because they're afraid of eternal torture.'

I want to know why the Universe is collapsing. You're explaning how and not why. If you know, tell me the different ways of explaining how and why.

There is no 'Why'. The 'Why' is because that's what universal laws dictate. Universal laws don't have motives or reasons.

This development has caused me to believe that animals need to suffer MORE, just because I'm so against PETA now.

Not very many birds or bugs, and the sig is still a joke.

Saving Private Ryan is so terrifying that it belongs in this thread.

Thank you for the effort, but I went through 40 google pages and didn't find it. I was hoping somebody here had it saved.

Eat four pounds of lettuce at 4:00 in the morning before the fight. Wear an old hoodie and jog to school at 6:00, unless your school is closer than 4 miles to your house, in which case you must run to the library and then to school.

Upon arrival, jump in the air like an epileptic monkey until somebody asks you what you're doing. Kill them with a rusty pipe and string him up to the ceiling in the janitor's closet. If the janitor sees, bite him.

Punch the strung up corpse until your hands are bloody. Whose blood it is is irrelevant. Do this until midway through school, at which point you must go to the class currently in session, excuse your tardiness with a rolled up napkin saying 'Ur a faget' (Preferably the corpse's napkin), and eat steak loudly until you get sent to the office.

Once you meet the chumps who are set to jump you, roll up your sleeves, and throw leftover steak at them until the sauce gets in one of their eyes. This should cause them to roll around in pain. If they do not roll, run as fast as you can to the nearest bomb shelter, because they are fucking BEARS.

Once you're at the bomb shelter, line the nearest house with trout and see if they take the bait. If they do, go to page 43. If they don't, turn the page.

I know what you're thinking, 'Oh, just another fanboy who wants something he deserves.' Not this time.

Warcraft, for those of you who have been living under a soundproof rock while dealing with a crippling fear of not being retarded, has generated more profit for Blizzard than any other game they have ever made, and by a huge margin as well.

But the game started with the Warcraft series, an amazing set of games that took all of the balancing of Starcraft and threw in magic. The series, in my opinion, reached its zenith at Warcraft III and its expansion, which sported-

-Four amazingly balanced races

-Simple to understand, hard to master gameplay

-Heroes, upgradeable units that could change the tide of a battle

-Varied environments

-Amazing voice acting, fun to use spells, brilliantly told story, ect.

The list goes on.

I can understand how Blizzard may not be interested in making another Warcraft game when World of Warcraft is generating them enough money to buy solid gold jacuzzis, but I believe that the two can supplement each other.

To me, one of the best parts of the WoW/WCIII pair was how they matched up. WCIII set up the story and I was always amazed at how well they transformed the glimpses of Warcraft you would get from the Level Loading map screens into an enormous MMO landscape.

For those of you who have not played Warcraft III, I cannot begin to describe to you how amazing multiplayer is. The units are set up so that it is literally impossible for an army of one unit type to win. No more massive Carrier fleets. Furthermore, the map editor allowed some of the 1337er of us to make amazingly fun and creative games to be played for free online, the most popular of which being DotA.

I say that Blizzard should release a WCIV that depicts the eventual downfall of Arthas. Though WoW may not show it, WCIII left off with Arthas completely controlling all of Northrend and about 1/3 of the two kingdoms. By 'controlling', I don't mean a bunch of plagued bers wandering around, I mean fucking citadels. A story spread out across wars raging across all of Azeroth from the perspective of the four races would be incredible.

There would, of course, also be wars between the newly formed Orgrimmar, Undercity, and the rest. In fact, I would shit myself if Blizzard made a level where you fight in the Battle of Undercity (A minor civil war between the Undead and demons), except you take control of one of the armies.

In fact, WCIV could deal with the prologue to WoW. Many of the things shown in WoW were not established by the end of WCIII.

Or, alternatively, what about Outland? WoW shows Outland as a place with varied locale and floating rocks with lightning-charged enemies wandering around, while Kael'Thas and Illidan both take a particularly long shit in their citadels that can conveniently be destroyed by 25 people.

WCIII showed Outland and a massive desert with floating rocks that had demon-guarded warp gates, and a gargantuan fortress that was so enormous that it needed to be overtaken by 3 armies, a demigod demon, a prince, and a queen. So much potential for awesome here.

In conclusion, BAAAAW.

I'm happy.

Maybe you're just one of those people who gets depressed because we aren't with the 'Spirit' of things.

When Christmas comes along do you get sad that people care mostly about the presents and not about the mutual love?

Locke and Demosthenez?

Please tell me that was intentional.

Like Stalinist Communism, for example... how many people did the Great Purge kill, again? 1.5 Million people?

HAH.

Much more than that.

8 million, I believe.

I'm not saying that religious dogma is the worst dogma, but I can safely say it's worse than atheist dogma.

There is no "degree" in this; dogma is simply a synonym for a given set of beliefs.

But there are worse dogmas than others.

dog·ma n.

1. A doctrine or a corpus of doctrines relating to matters such as morality and faith, set forth in an authoritative manner by a church.
2. An authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true. See Synonyms at doctrine.
3. A principle or belief or a group of them: "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present" (Abraham Lincoln).

That's what I'm arguing; replacing religious dogma with atheist dogma won't change anything in this world, and people will not gravitate towards that change unless there is a specific benefit from doing so OR....

I thought you meant dogma in the 'unquestionable belief' manner.

Obviously there is going to be some degree of dogma in a belief system that denies the existence of a being of which there is no proof of existing. But the level of dogma wouldn't be nearly as high, because the comparison is similar to the dogma of a group of people who don't believe in unicorns, and a group of people who DO believe in them and raise their children to believe the same.

Your argument was that the dogma of religion would be replaced with the dogma of atheism. I explain that won't happen. You reply, 'How will that make things better'?

What the fuck?

Of course there will still be war and disease and poverty and death. There just won't be dogma, which is ALL I said. Which, is, you know, an improvement.
