1. why would you need 1.6 tb's

And fifteen years ago we asked: why would you need 5GBs?

I like the first one.

If you have questions about derivatives and integrals, just ask me. They're my speciality.

Quote from Minotauro

I didnt mean people who donate money are hypocrites, but I hate those people who don't give a fuck to anyone and then donate money to shit like this just to feel better.

Almost every single good deed is a selfish one. Just think about it.

God of War, Resident Evil 4 and MGS3 (2005 here in Europe).

Hello, Best Picture/Direction Oscar nomination!

Quote from killertomato

It's not the free will thats in the way of the truth. It the ignorance. They have to know where to choose from.

Exactly.

A teacher in high school once said that people our age (16 back then) shouldn't have opinions about certain things. Ofcourse he was laughed at and called crazy, but I understand what he meant.

Quote from killertomato

*Sigh + lol*I never said all of you were saying that.

Yes, yes... but I didn't accuse you of preaching at my door either. Some people preach, and some hate it. Some say non-believers are weak without Jesus and some say the opposite.

Quote from killertomato

I didn't say that and I don't go off peoples doors. Don't generalise.

And most of us haven't said that you're weak.

But I think the biggest reason why non-believers don't like religion is because it's crammed at our faces all the time like some sort of propaganda.

Quote from killertomato

FFS why are religion flamers always tolerated. No matter how cheap your arguements are, they always get accepted lol...Fuck off telling believers how stupid they are and how weak because they need a religion to 'make it thru the day'. Yeah, go ahead and be a non-believer, just piss off and go fuck yourselfes if the only thing youre gonna do is pooping on other peoples believs.

So.

TWICE there have been people at my door preaching about God and when I've told them I don't believe in God they litterally pat me in the back and say "you poor thing". The next thing they've seen is a door being slammed shut in front of their faces. It's not like you believers are any better than the rest of us either...

You haven't experienced it so you can't say anything about this. I didn't personally change much, but I saw A LOT of growth in others' personalities.

People are the sum of their experiences and the army is one hell of an experience.

I agree, it might be a hell of an experience, and I agree that people are the sum of it's parts, but I just can't agree that when one goes to the army he all of a sudden becomes a better person, or worse person.

I didn't say everyone changes and I didn't say you become a better/worse person, but some do change. These changes aren't necessarily noticable to you.

Quote from killertomato

This thing has gone very much off-topic.

This usually happens on page 2 in every mapcore thread.

Quote from Kosmo

You mean like, if I donate money to the red cross but it won't save everyone, I shouldn't do it? If I don't accept something, but it doesn't change anything, it's meaningless? You got some twisted mind there.

You can't compare donating money to charity with boycotting the army. Both charity and the army are ultimately for a good cause, atleast here in Finland. The army is not for war, it's for defence and security. (NOTE: atleast in Finland).

What I'm trying to say is that boycotting the army won't do any good to anyone.

Quote

And it's straight bullshit that Army somehow magically transforms you in anyway or another

You haven't experienced it so you can't say anything about this. I didn't personally change much, but I saw A LOT of growth in others' personalities.

Quote

Please don't be so narrowminded.

It's narrowminded to think that army changes you in someway.

No, for many people it's a fact.

Quote from Kosmo

My pacifistic toughts didn't stop me from going in to the army, the fact that finnish goverment spends 2 billion euros of taxpayers money every single year to fund our beloved "experience of a lifetime."And after all that our country has homeless people, goverment cuts back it's services and public companies like VR (railroads) and Posti (postal service) loses more and more funding and resorts to stupid cutbacks, not to mention the funding schools get and the study grant are both rediculous.

Because you weren't in the army doesn't change anything and people don't pay any less taxes. You might as well experience what you are paying for. Some of the memories I have from my time in the army are priceless.

The good thing about the army is that it really makes many people mentally tougher (also physically, but that's less important) and they become more responsible individuals.

Quote

This country doesn't care one bit of it's citizens, if they did, Finland would be more like Sweden. But we are a capitalistic country ran by selected elite.

Please don't be so narrowminded.

Quote from Kosmo

I myself am a civilservice man (I didn't go to the army)

You missed an experience of a lifetime. I didn't find the army to be a very violent place. Sure they teach you how to shoot and fight but you don't do those things to others. Shooting at some targets and punching some bags is no worse than killing people in video games. Totally harmless.

So pacifists that don't go to the army for that reason and still play violent games are, to some extent, hypocrates (IMO).

Maybe my view is a bit black and white at the moment. I need to meditate on this.

Quote from killertomato

I hate pacifists... Oh, and GreyFox, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to do it. I also think it would be my responsabillity to do so. To say I'd enjoy it was a joke. Maybe not the most suited one. Sorry for that.

Yes I would feel sick after torturing a guy but if I would be 100% sure about the fact that I could save innoncent lives with it, I do it.

That's just my view on this case.

Note, that I specifically meant that YOU are the subject to torture. You changing your mind now? Still think it would be ok?

Quote from killertomato

What if you were innocent and tortured because someone thought you had information that could save people? You'd still think it's ok?

Quote

In extreme cases, say if a terrorist is arrested and is suspected that have hidden a nuclearbomb that is about to go off?

I don't believe you. Or perhaps you can't imagine well enough what it would be like...
