Many great men throughout history have been inexperienced. It did not stop them, and it will not stop me from leading my team to victory.

Quite right my friend, and I assure to all those who think to the contrary they definitely have their hands full managing the project, forming the team, keeping the team together, and replacing all the slackers who quit half way through the project.
Plus you cannot find brilliant minds such as mine just anywhere.
Well now you three are tough bargainers. I'll tell you what. We'll split the profits 4 ways. 50, 15, 15, 20. 50% will go to me obviously for performing the important task of holding the project together. The rest of you will recieve 15% except for one employee that I deem most valuable depending on effort, who will recieve 20% of the profits.
What do you say guys?

Ah I see, trying to look uninterested in order to deter the competition. Very clever of you. Would you perhaps be interested in working on my team?

All of my 'asers' are occupied at the moment. I am taking this time to recruit some more. And for reference, my insight is very valuable when developing games, as many of the employees at Durr Hurr studios will attest too.

Nonsense. I will be providing excellent insight and overseeing the development of the game. Not to mention you will all be working for the famed Durr Hurr Studios(c).
Hi, my name is Musician and I am the proprietor of Durr Hurr Studios(c). I'm looking for a team to help me put together a game. So far I need:
A Programmer
An Artist
and an Audio "dude" (He makes music and stuff)
So, who's interested?
At 8/22/08 03:11 PM, Elfer wrote: ISPs are glorified routers, and therefore they're the ones who would try to destroy net neutrality. This is much like how fast food places are an intermediate between farms and fat dudes.
I would disagree with that analogy, since the argument that ISPs are making is that they are providing a service to both the host and the client (as opposed to the host providing a service to the ISP, like by selling beef to them), since they're being connected to each other.
A working analogy would be more like this:
In every town in SimWorld there are 2 information desks to help you find which building you need to go to to find a certain service. this is the only way to get such information in our analogy, so customers cannot access this information any other way. The first information desk is called the DSL information desk, which is very slow. The second information desk is the cable information desk, which is faster.
Since there is by and large only 2 information desks per area, and information desks are the only way to attain such information, the government has decided origianlly to require the private companies running these information desks to provide information to any location the customer wants to go. Considering that the information desks are the only way to get this information, most people found this arrangement agreeable.
However, many companies did not like the idea of being forced to offer every kind of information, seeing as some of these places they were directing their clients to slandered the parent company of the information desk, among other more diabolical things.
Eventually the original rule of free access to any information was taken away and the Information desks went to work changing their policies. The companies held discussions together and agreed unanimously that there were several places that should see no visitors at all. These were building that sold pirated goods. The information desks then went to every building in the city and demanded that a fee be paid to them in order for their companies to get any coverage from the information desk. Most of the building forked up the money being demanded, seeing as not paying meant that their buildings would basically cease to exist, since nobody would be able to access them. Many buildings were not able to pay the fines instituted by the information desks, and went belly up.
Customers of the information desk were left hopeless, seeing as there were no real competing information desks in their town besides the DSL and Cable information desks, and most were not attracted to the speed of the DSL desk.
Websites are already free to charge a fee for access to their sites, this is not the concern.
And it shouldn't be, since they actually own the websites.
The concern is ISPs limiting access to certain content and instituting a graduated system of fees for those who want to be able to access more content. It's like how cable companies scramble signals to customers who don't pay for the full channel package.
Yeah, and that's a legitimate concern, seeing as a ton of smaller websites could be wiped out by fee instituted by ISPs.
The problem with ISPs trying to do this is that there's no demand for that type of service. People want unlimited access, and they'll go to whoever can give that to them.
Well, there are very limited choices for most people. A good deal of the time it's just cable or dsl (if not just DSL). Although, I did forget to mention early that some areas do have satellite dish access, and a few very lucky areas have the option of signing up for a T1 connection (this is very rare and costs like 400 bucks a month). However for the most part customers have thier hands much more tied when dealing with ISPs than they do when dealing with fast food.

Could you reword that maybe?
McCain actually used to be a pretty good candidate. Am I the only one who has noticed that the guy has made a complete 180 in some of his policies? Like torture, didn't he used to be totally against waterboarding? He just seemed so much more moderate back then. If he would have retained his old policies instead of whoring out to the Republican party I seriously would be considering voting for him right now. Reason being is Obama is disappointing me to an extent too.
I've come to the realization that neither of them are perfect candidates, but yeah, for now my vote is for Obama.

Honestly, I stopped reading there. Your analogy doesn't work because your ISP doesn't provide you with websites. It only provides a connection from your computer, to the hosts of the websites. An ISP is little more than a glorified router.

err. fixed. Now you can replace it with the name of any poster on the board.

You can make a up a justification and be voting for another reason.
Example: I think shaggy should be banned because he contributes absolutely nothing to the board and he's a wacked out conspiracy theorist.
I could replace shaggies name with the name of anyone on the board and that would still be a legitimate reason because it's completely opinionated. Many people could be just jumping on the "I hate shaggy" bandwagon and not actually have a real reason to want the guy banned.

Hey if you were a drunk driver who's killed someone, would you want to go to jail for it?
I wouldn't. I think I would definitely deserve to go off scott free.
So ban him, I don't care. What I have a problem with is the whole "vote on whether this poster should be allowed to continue posting thing". You obviously want to ban him pox, so just do it.

Once again, both subjective. I could make an argument that I believe Memorize contributes absolutely nothing the board and should be banned for all our sakes. We could have a vote thread like this and I'm sure quite a few people would vote for him to be gone because he's a complete fuckwit. But like I said, that would just be a popularity contest. All anyone who wanted him banned would have to say is "He's not a good contributer, I think he should be banned". They could get away with saying that because it's completely opinionated. So you see, a popularity contest is the only kind of vote we can ever really have.
Depends. Are we saying if I was a completely different person? If so, I'd probably be angry and think it was some sort of lame conspiracy and that I should be able to say whatever I want whenever I want wherever I want without consequence.
Heh, lets assume you're not completely different, just very unpopular with the other members of the board.
I'd be fully willing to undergo a vote to determine whether or not I should stay on the board, so long as the voting was based on non-partisan reasoning.
Only thing is you can't guarantee it will be.
If you want things to be even and fair, you can request that pox make a topic about me. I've got no problems with it.
You're missing the point man. The moderators should be the ones to moderate. It shouldn't be left up to a vote.
At 8/21/08 12:49 PM, Elfer wrote: So? The rules themselves are subjective.
Besides, if his presence is detrimental to the board, why bother keeping him around for the sake of bureaucracy?
The problem is, whether he's detrimental to the board is also entirely subjective. I could argue that Memorize is detrimental to the board and is most likely a troll, but for some reason we're not voting on whether we should ban him. I'm sure someone out there feels the same way about me, and would say that I'm detrimental to the board.
So the question is Elfer, if you were in Shaggies position, how would you feel about your ablity to stay on this board being reduced to little more than a popularity contest? I wouldn't accept this standard for myself, and I wont accept it for anyone else on the board, no matter how much I dislike them.
Elfer and Al, while I understand and respect the point you're trying to make, every one of his violations is completely subjective. Objectively he hasn't violated any of the rules. And to be honest, I think this topic is a mistake, it's not our place to pass these kinds of judgments on our peers (by which I mean, getting banned or not). It's better left to the discretion of those who own and run the board.
I vote that we don't ban him, since he's not breaking any rules, and that's all that should matter.

Hey, you were the one complaining that nobody was providing a solution. I think my solution was spot on.
In recent memory? The Civil Rights Movement, which was headed by a Southern Baptist Minister.
Would be great if slavery and segregation couldn't be so clearly traced back to religion, which is what people used to justify treating blacks as lesser beings.
Your turn; what has atheism done that's so good?
Promoting common sense.

You're an idiot.
Hitler couldn't have engineered the Holocaust without manipulating the christians. If there had been no Christians in Germany, there would have been no Holocaust. End.
And yet they specifically targetted people who were religious for the sole fact that they were religious because they were afraid of religion.
And yet they didn't do these things in the name of Atheism. Mao and Stalin both removed the church because they didn't want their power challenged by religion. They weren't exterminating people in the name of a belief, or gaining power by taking advantage of the belief, they were just being greedy
Bam... Again.
If the religious doctrine does not instruct on such acts of violence, it cannot be held accountable for those acts.
1) I can find you plenty of bible quotes where the bible instructs believers to do horrible things. These can be used by radicals to justify their actions.
2) Most bible quotes depend on how you interpret them. So while you see a quote and think it says "fight for god by loving your neighbor", someone else might interpret it as "fight for god by blowing the fuck out of non-believers".
In the end all that matters is the fact that religion has a history of being used to cause people to commit attrocious acts. And if it weren't for religion, those acts would have never happened.
