  • Digital Paint Ball seeking character modeller

    Quote from Fletch

    They're still a mod and they're not paying, so I feel inclined to move this back to the other forum unless there is a counter-arguement. NDAs don't make it "professional."

    They're not paying? l3fty, can you clarify that?

    I was thinking since he said "we are a registered company" that employees would be compensated. If this is not the case feel free to move it back to the other forum.

  • So Al-Zarqawi got owned...

    Besides the obvious visual match (the guy looks exactly like sarqawi) they finger printed him and ID'ed his scars and tatoos with the description they had and they got a match on all counts.

    They are also doing DNA tests to be absolutely sure which should be ready within the next 2 days. Also, Al Qaeda has already confirmed the death on their website

  • Half-Life 2: Episode 1

    SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

    Finished it last night.... The ending was like OMG. Although I was kinda hoping that the train departure would be a bit more epic (that you can walk into the train and there are citizens inside looking all exhausted from the battle and hopeful to make it out alive)... But that slight disappointment disappeared 5 seconds later when the train drove out of the station....fucking awesome.

  • Lion kills man in a zoo who claimed 'god will save me'

    KIEV (Reuters) - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday. "The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said.

    "A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."

    The incident, Sunday evening when the zoo was packed with visitors, was the first of its kind at the attraction. Lions and tigers are kept in an "animal island" protected by thick concrete blocks.

    owned.

  • The Downfall of the Netherlands

    Quote from RD

    The muslim woman thats under total control of her family will be sent back to India to marry a guy she has never met and have children 9 months later, while being beaten and locked inside the house and thats ok with you?

    Before you accuse others of not reading what you're writing make sure you read what others are writing. I clearly said "Yes they will have to adapt but they shouldn't be asked to abandon their core roots as long as they are socially bearable (no violence, no locking people up, etc.)" so no, I'm not ok with it. Oh and BTW, you'd be surprised at how many muslim women are actually PRO arranged marriage. As crazy as it sounds.

  • The Downfall of the Netherlands

    [Would it be okay if they transformed Canada into Iran then, seeing you have no problem with the culture? Holland is a tiny tiny country and you really dont know how tolerant you are untill your put to the test.

    Isn't that what the coalition forces are doing to Iraq right now? (and possibly soon to Iran as well) They walked in and are turning it into a democracy. Canada already is a largely immigrant populated country but people respect eachother and eachother's beliefs for the most part. You can't tell a family to give up their beliefs and values simply because they moved to an other country. Yes they will have to adapt but they shouldn't be asked to abandon their core roots as long as they are socially bearable (no violence, no locking people up, etc.) And trust me my tolarance level has been tested many times and it wasn't always fun.

    But what if you DID wanted to dress sexy??? Wheres the freedom? Maybe there in Canada your gf would get away with it (except near her family and muslim friends), but when your country is dominantly Islamic, she would have no chance. Yes, that is ISLAM. And you are tolerant of it because its not the dominant religion there.

    If there is even one single girl feeling like that here in Holland then something is seriously wrong.

    I hear what you are saying. The dominant religion in Holland is Islam (because of the muslim imigrants?) and they are forcing their values onto the dutch people. I don't agree with that either. I agree people should have the liberty to do whatever they want internally within the family but that they should have to respect the values and traditions of the country they live in. Muslim women have always had it rough... So if lets say a muslim Indian girl grew up in Holland under the rule of her islamic parents then she would be totally under their control. No questions asked. That's the way it goes sadly. Unfortunately you can't force people to give up their traditions.

    Personally I'm all for a stricter integration test before visa issuance to "test" what the prospected immigrant's opinions are on certain things and to test if they would be able to smoothly blend into the local society. If they fail the test they don't get the visa.

  • Destroy!

    No cause then it wouldn't be forbidden. It's the thrill of doing something WRONG and NOT ALLOWED that makes it so exciting to them.

    It's like when you're a kid and your mom tells you "don't touch that delicious warm steaming chocolate cake while I go do grocery shopping, see you in two hours."

    There was also a scene in Family Guy where Peter was standing in an empty room with a big red button on the wall and a sign above it "do not push button".... guess what he did? There was no benefit for him to push the button (in fact he got his face kicked in by some chinese ninja that appeared out of nowhere) but he just couldn't resist the shiny red button. If a parent tells her child "don't do " the child is more likely to do that thing because it knows that it shouldn't and it makes it more appealing somehow.
