I'd be using Linux right now if it weren't a crap desktop OS.

Ubuntu is pretty good desktop OS, but I will second the "Linux is crappy OS"

Quote from mawibse

The soul, Karma and Rebith is as scientific as the Fairy King.

Not you again, you have obviously made it your mission to haunt me haven't you.

But fair enough, be like that.

As you might notice when you read my post again, and this time think about it. I said that I believe in them, as being something that exists but are not as simple or complicated we think they are, they might just be part of nature that are so complex that we don't understand them yet, thusly making them very real. Just like many say that man fitting the description of Jesus really existed but that doesn't make him some sort of mage or son of god, now does it.

Humans understand so little of the brain and how it works, the same way we understand so little of the universe, things like these being possible is in the realm of possibility.

Izuno, I would make Win2k to be the version two on the Iteration 2, and that would break the formula, since Win2k is easily better than XP. XP just has fancy things, Win2k has real power under the hood.

Oh, and just to add, judging by the articles written by the beta testers and the information trickled from MS itself (Vista not being a total rewrite and all that), Vista is going to suck big time.

Nice, real nice.

Quote from RD

If you think about it it is only logical that we must have a soul. What else makes our decisions?

As scientific as I am, I believe in soul, I also believe in Karma and Rebith.

I believe that they are our perception of nature that is way more complicated that we give it credit for.

Quote from mawibse

Your sidetracking but I'll humor you; We where talking about the balance of Nukes in the absence of nukes, not the balance of the scale they where measured with.

Would you say that the "nothing" that was on the scale in your example was in balance? Scientists don't and neither do I.

And to steer it in a slightly more on topic direction, even with the fairy tale dream of a world without nukes, the balance of war technology would still heavily tip in favor for USA so...

Correction, I am not talking about balance of nukes, I'm talking about balance of power, attacking power to be precise. True, USA has military action power with bundles, but nuke is something to tip the scales, that what created the whole problem to begin with, if Iran doesn't have nuke, he worst they can do is try to invade Israel, but with nukes they can obliterate them without much effort.

Quote from mawibse

The notion that the only thing keeping countries from using nukes is that other countries have them is of course extremely oversimplified.If USA had nuked Afghanistan no one would have nuked USA for it.

Well Afghanistan doesn't have nukes so their retaliation wouldn't happen, BUT I'm almost positive that IF USA had used nukes in Afghanista, without a doubt in my mind they would have gotten a retaliation, Pakistan is a good candidate for that.

And there are no confirmation wether such countries as Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iran have the ability to build one or even having actual nuclear weapon, so if USA used their nuclear weapons, they would most definedly launch a chain reaction that escaladed in to a full blown World War.

Quote from mawibse

Usually one refers to balance as forces canceling each other out. Not the absence of forces. But that’s not the main issue, so.. if you want to get rid of all nukes why allow Iran to have them? One would think that would be counterproductive to your agenda?

So you would say a scale is off balance when there is nothing in it? Interesting, you might want to dabble in to some physics for that one.

And I didn't say that Iran should definedly have nukes, I said that USA is not qualified to decide who to have nukes since they have nukes, the power is unbalanced and if USA isn't going to lose their nukes, then I'm afraid that countries that oppose USA's foreign policy should get some too, just to keep them in check. Only thing keeping countries from using nukes is because many countries have them, they would have to risk a retaliation in same kind, and I would love the situation to be just this, so I don't have to fear USA or any other for that matter, nuking anyone.

Quote from mawibse

Pleeaase say that again about Russia not "going all ChucK Norris" on Afghanistan, it gives me Goosebumps. *pops in RamboIII in DVDplayer*

It's difficult for me to repeat something I didn't even say :roll:

You might want to check out what I wrote again, there seems to be a fault in your logic.

I'm hooked on a Finnish online poker place called Paf.fi, I usually play 20-40 euros a month or so, and sometimes I win, got me 400€ couple of months ago.

But you might want to be careful with that, the guy at work who told me about it usually plays like hundreds of euros, he has won alot of money there, but it's risky business when you play with alot of money.

Quote from RD

Where does he say that?

I didn't mean his posts, I ment that in general all of your posts.

Quote from mawibse

Or perhaps nuke a country? We should give killertomato a nuke as well Kosmo, for balance sakes don't you think?

Or take nukes away from everyone, that is balance too you know :roll:

Quote from mawibse

Yes of all countries in the world I think Afghanistan and Iraq being referred to as "rather peaceful countries" is dead on. Like ketchup in coffee and hot dog with mustard gas.

Didn't I say that "rather peaceful" it's different from "absolutely peaceful and kind", of course I admit that both of the countries were full of nutjobs that could explode any minute, but then again, USA has had them as long as any other country and you don't see Russia or China going in there and going all ChucK Norris on them.

Quote from killertomato

It's the anti-Israeli tendency what bothers me, I have no illusions on how Israeli people are better then the rest. Since I have visited Israel several times, I can say in all honesty that Israeli's are a peacefull nation.

Don't try to belittle the people who you are discussing with.

I'm not trying to belittle you, I agree totally, the over all civilian population in Israel are great people, just like the major Muslim population.

But you romaticizing their actions and their goverment doesn't paint that clear of a picture.

That is the point I'm trying to drive through here, it's great and good that the goverment and few bad apples are like that, but if you take a normal Palestinean guy, all he wants is the stupid war to end and have a normal life to raise a family and such, just the same as the Isreali bloke, and the Iranian bloke, and the Danish bloke and all the people in the world.

But what the message coming through from all of your posts is that all muslims, with no exception are evil mother fuckers trying to rape our babies and kill our women, or some immature shit like that.

Isn't red cross widely used and accepted symbol for medical personnel? Not just in direct connection to the organization, it's like Microsoft said that no one could use windows in houses or the word window in anywhere. It's a common symbol like the dollar sign, no one has the proper ownership over it to say such things.

Quote from killertomato

You call HAMAS and his followers 'rather peacefull'?

Well I didn't say anything about Hamas

I was speaking of USA campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, both countries that didn't have open war against other country, I know there were and still are militant tribes in Afghanistan and Taliban is no nice organization, but you can look in any country in that area and find some sort of militant organization or tribe.

And I know your views on how peaceful and idyllic you think Israeli people are so we don't have to go there.

Quote from von*ferret

And when a country openly states that there was no holocaust and that Israel needs to be wiped off the map, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want them playing with large toys.

And when a country goes in to a war to hunt a handful of people and to usher their laws on other countries, rather peaceful countries I might add, you would give them a bundle of toys large and small?

Quote from kleinluka

like I already said about five million times in this thread. The irani government openly threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. That's enough reasoning to me.

Same as above.

Quote from Urban

I get it.. Stockpiles of nukes don't count...

After six thousand nuclear weapons hit your country... they don't count.

But interesting numbers none the less, this begs for a question, why doesn't USA do something about Russia's nuclear arsenal? How is Russia so safe and sound? What guarantees that they don't use them in any point?

Afterall, they are at war right now.

I want to ask to all who really oppose Iran having nuclear weapons, why is it so different for them to have nuclear arsenal from USA or Pakistan? Is the matter more on that no one should have nuclear weapons or just Iran?

Example, the rumor says that one of Osamas hiding places might be in the border of Pakistan, Pakistan has nuclear weapons, they openly accused India for funding the Afghan drug lords that arm militant tribes in Pakistan, so how are they so much better than Iran? Is it because Pakistans main target is India and not Israel or USA, is that it? We don't care about that because they aren't a threat to USA or their lapdog Israel?

Ferret is right, there is no telling what opinion is right in this matter for the country has pretty much a non-demogratic system, a system of a whole three parties, I would see that even if they chose Al Gore at the first election, things would have been no different. A Problem without an correct answer.

BUT, I must say, that when it comes to any president, I judge them not by the arbitrary "descision making skill" but the result of their descision, Bush has made alot of enemies around the world, and alot of people have died in needless wars because of Bush. So I deem him unfit for a leader by default.

AGAIN, I must assume that things might have gone differently if there was a different kind of president in charge, since if things were the same under anyone in charge, we would bithc about him too.

I am sorry but I can't just press enough this matter

Quote from Steppenwolf

3. Telling people when and for what reason their posts are deleted or censored

If you honestly think that punishing people without telling them what you are punishing people for is the right thing to do, you are more misguided than the person itself.

Edit: Dear Kosmo, I edited your post because you spammed the same line 100 times as though that would make a point. It doesn't. Presenting a well thought out arguement makes a point. Also, if you'll notice the thing I just wrote right above your post, you'll see I already talked about that. But hey, thanks for calling me misguided. -Luv Fletch

Quote from RD

What do you know about Iran Kosmo?

Not as much as I know on the the Far East region I'm afraid, they are being secretive in their actions. I can fairly say that when coming to China/Japan/Korea axel, Indochina and India I know everything, but Middle-East is secretive on their part.

And to you Mawbise, I just can't help you dude, you are way too off the course for me to help you on your endeavours. Sorry man, I really hope that you hit a book or something.

Sony has just proven the point that Xenon is better than PS3, if the claim wasn't true, they wouldn't be so pissed

Klein is right, nothing is achieved through slander.

I'm sorry if I insulted anyone directly.

Quote from mawibse

Fairy king?

If my memory serves right, you are quite religious person, atleast that what one could assume from your posts. Jesus, Allah, Santa, Easter Bunny, none of them are any more valid or real than the other. Hence Fairy King.

Quote from mawibse

Yes.

Ouch, there is no nice way of saying this, but that is just horrible.

Quote from mawibse

So they should have nukes because it would balance the power?

Mommy mommy, he got nukes I wanna have some tooo, its not faaaaiiirrr!!!

*mawibse pats Kosmo on the head*

Now now Kosmo, some things just isn't fair I'm afraid, now run along and play with your Thaliban dolls.

Do you know what balance means? You might want to look that up from the dictionary. Surely one nation holding more than every other nuclear weapons bearing nation combined doesn't count as balance, especially when most of the nations belong to the "alliance" that USA is defending with them. I'm not looking for the interest of the abstract concept of alliance, my interest is in prolonging the life throghout the whole world, no matter what your religious, cultural or political beliefs.

So either, USA lose nukes or give others them aswell, you can't have balance without them, and that is just the rock solid truth that even you have to accept. And surely Iran isn't more agressive than USA, USA has good nuclear strike and dozens of battles on Iran, so warmonger?

Classy on the Taliban joke there, Hitler

Quote from mawibse

Morally I’m allot closer to US then Iran.

Just such a thing as how they treat women, oh but that's just West propaganda right?

Morally? I believe you mean culturally. Some of us believe that outside observers moral views countering the cultural and religious beliefs of the observed nations are not valid.

And I can clearly see that you have taken a hefty doze of anti-muslim propaganda, you don't see them as people anymore.

Quote from mawibse

Yes everything you learn in school is lies.

Oh by the way, that tinfoil hat suits you Kosmo.

And you believe everything your goverment and media tells you, well, the tinfoil hat suits you aswell. I'm just a tad more critical on what I'm told, I don't hold all the answers and there are so many questions unanswered, thusly I believe that something is left untold or just filled with static propaganda information. You on the other hand believe everything you are told and don't question the truth. So who can decide which one of us is closer to the truth, have the integrity to question everything you hear.

Quote from mawibse

So let’s see, Afghanistan and Iraq, yep can't be more GLOBAL SCALE WAR then that.

Global scale war has effects on global political climate and has long term effects in a major scale. You are right, it doesn't get more global than this.

Quote from mawibse

Yes go bend the meaning of words at a whim to inflict insult and make a moot point, that's very mature of you.

You asking me to call out my mom - who is btw dead, rest his soul - is equally mature of you there compadre. So who are you to decide if my actions are mature or not? It's like 5 year old talling another 5 year old "to stop being a baby".

Quote from mawibse

Yes, quite.

Again, your maturity is as overwhelming as mine.

Quote from mawibse

Donno, go ask your mamma about it.

Dare I say or are you going to guess already?

Quote from mawibse

Oh, you have a theory about the existence of founding pillars of religion that never change, go on and tell me all about it, this aught a be good. *grabs popcorn*

So you don't consider that when a religion is based on a supposedly two thousand year old document old fashioned?

Quote from mawibse

Hmm calling US Nazis and religious beliefs for believing in the fairy king is the basics in spreading love and undermine the theatre of hatred?

Way to go Kosmo.

What can I say, I calls it like I sees it. Clean your act if you want me to respect you.

Quote from mawibse

I think the prophet Kosmo has the way, its called lets insult and disrespect until they succumb to the love!

But your perception on me claiming to be the right man to decide on the matter is incorrect. And you, my equally prophetic colleague have done nothing else than "insult and disrespect until they succumb to the love" so you are in no position to judge my actions.

I have absolutely no love for Israel, but neither do I have love for Palestineans, they both play the easiest game in the world, the chips are innocent lives, but neither side loses any because they don't have anything invested.

Same thing is going on in Kashmir and Kosovo.

And I think that ANY country - mine included - and any individual that supports either theater of hatred and total lack of humanity, are total pieces of shit and should have them killed by lethal injection and their family put in to shame for thousand years.

For who in this world has the right to decide on this kind of matters? English thought that they were the kings of the world, bending under Jewish terrorist actions and now USA thinks they are the Roman Empire of the modern world where all their actions go un opposed and unjudged.

Same goes for Palestine, they think that they can murder innocent men, women and children just because they have the support of unwanting Muslim countries that don't have much of a choise because of the current political climate is "either with us or against us", religious leaders barking commands from their safe locations and bunkers to the brainwashed masses in both camps they fight a war where the loser is the one that runs first out of innocents to use as a bodyarmor and soldiers to sacrifice for cause that they don't even remember.

Quote from Minotauro
