Yes Kosmo, correctly observed however to make my thought process clearer:I't your fault if she gets pregnant when trusting her when she says shes on the pill.

But it's her fault if you trust her when she says she don't have HIV.

They are so similar but depending on the result the blame is so different.

Yeah, but there was this guy several years back who intentionally gave HIV to his ex-girlfriend and that counts as a attempted murder.

And I don't think that anybody is blaming a single person when someone gets accidentally pregnant, since it is not a crime to be pregnant, well, atleast the law doesn't blame you. It's everyones own job to keep your shit checked.

The other one is a fatal disease and the other is new life that can be prematurely terminated if you are pro-choice.

As RD said, there is actually more sides to the ID than just the more popular looney toon side that is just genesis explained with science. There are actually really neat tie-ins with several other unorthodox theories about life in space and with the endless universes and so on.

My favourite being the one that sounds more like a Star Trek episode than a valid theory, it says that space isn't actually endless, but when traveled far enough time starts to move and not space, thusly we enter in to another universe, kinda like time travel, there are infinite number (infinite because every action makes another "branch") of universes which all are in a hex like map, and timetravel just actually doesn't move you through time, but it moves you hundreds of billions of lightyears in space to another universe.

I like because it makes time travel possible and it explains more clearly the infinite space to a small human brain that can't comprehend something that is infinite.

Why do Christians always get the worst kind of religious zealoths, while Muslim wackos try to rain missiles at everybody else, the average Christian nutjob tries to crumble his own society.

And I just read the GC Advance article and is Jack actually proposing that game companies make a violent game, only with the target being game stores and game developers?

So violence against some people no matter how innocent, is a good thing? Man, that guy is seriously twisted, and I wouldn't be suprised if some day he himself attacked some game store clerk or something.

I have been waiting to have a genuine Asian Experience, but I never had the time nor the money to go to Asia, but I'm glad I can finally have it in the comfort of my home and that it comes in a can form is just a big plus

I am a God.

My theory is that if god told you the absolute truth about everything, you wouldn’t be human anymore you’d be god.

And what god would tell you wouldn’t even remotely resemble anything you’d ever or any human ever had or would ever had dreamt of, little less rationally thought about.

Even when I respect people who are smarter than me, I wouldn't go so far as calling them gods, even with vast knowledge the thing that makes us humans remain, error, just plain simple humane error. And as far as my view of god goes, he'd be still all powerful and divine being. Something man is not even with his gained vast knowledge.

Yes, "don’t look far..“ seems like a very good saying when talking about the universe expanding and black holes....

And according to you, until we discover the truth about black holes and then, holy cow, the explanation of everything was there!!

Well I don’t think so, it’s just another opened door revealing hundreds of closed ones.

As an answer to both of these, I just have to say, that without studying that apple, we wouldn't haven't found those atoms and what not, and without studying space we wouldn't have found black holes. I'll admit that just by studying black holes we won't find out everything, but you'll have to understand that there is no such thing as absolute knowledge, anything we study gives us more questions than answers, and that is the way humans work. But studying black holes will get us closer to the answers about universe, and I believe that they will hole the key to even bigger questions that we don't even know yet.

You really pay attenttion on the flow of the map when it doesn't matter what the map is made out of, and it can be seen in many of the TFC maps, many of them are just wild, completely wild compared to CS and DoD maps, and to me, they were always fun to play.

And that is one thing about realistic games like Rainbow 6, the accurate model of Alcatraz or something might not be fun, and there are alot of advantage places that ruin the flow.

One such game I should mention that has never had a map that I completely hated (official maps ofcourse) is Natural Selection. Maybe it is the fact that most of the maps are identical in visuals so mappers can spend more time designing the flow or maybe it's that the maps are built out of love for the game, but the maps are just fun to play, always.

Quote from mawibse

So that matter is transformed to something else then back again is what you refer to as "matter created out of nothing", I don’t think you could scientifically say that "something else" could be nothing.

And that is why I used the quotation on the word nothing, since most people tend to think that if there is just an empty space and all of a sudden a chair is in the empty space, it was created out of "nothing", but in trut it was formed by something else that was there, which by no means is nothing. Comprende? Or should I demonstrate it with two lifelike dolls?

Quote from mawibse

How convenient, something we already know to exist is the key to everything.

Tell you what, the same goes for anything else, when I know all there is to know about the electron I could explain a black hole. And since electrons make up an apple all I need to know is an apple. Yes the apple is a metaphor for a black hole, trust me, black holes are not even a spit in the ocean of explaining everything, no matter how cool they appear to us.

If we knew more about black holes sure we would know a lot more but to think it’s the key to everything, naah no way we are that lucky.

Just as always, when we have explained the black hole we will have a lot more questions then what we just answered.

In the end, the apple has to do with you as much as the black hole has to do with the expansion of the universe. It's connected but sure isnt a key.

I'm sorry if I laugh loudly to you, but by your theory, if god really existed and he came to us and told us the absolut truth to everything, it couldn't possibly be true because we know about it? Hmm ... makes sense, but Big Bird and Cookie Monster have also some theories about this, not that they matter since they are as insane as you are.

I'm well aware of the saying "to be truely smart is not to know that you know everything, but is to know that you know nothing" or something googaa like that, but are YOU aware of the saying "don't look far for answers to questions asked near."

Sometimes we have to take what we have and start from there, because at the beginning THAT was just an apple, then it was small particles that naked eye couldn't see and then it was a black hole in space. All which we tought to be absolute, but all opened a new door.

I believe that I created the universe so that you guys could create the core and I could hang around and bitch about Intelligent Design and stuff, u know, the usual.

Well, it depends on the view, some might see it the perfect proof that some sort of extra terrestial entity molded the planet for us OR some might see it the perfect proof that god didn't create the world like it is described in the genesis.

Pick your favourite.

Mawbise, what black holes has to do with expanding universe? Umm... you might want to try pretty much everything, the little we understand about black holes, they are center points of everything and key to every imaginable question we have about universe and how it was born.

And there are theories that the matter, like I said doesn't disappear anywhere it just transforms to something else and can be transformed back, and that matter be it hawkin radiation or something else, created the universe, and in other words, matter was created from "nothing."

Well, I know the theory of expanding/growing universe is pretty wild but people way smarter than any of us here have been studying that theory for almost a decade.

And I'll ask you this, if matter can't just appear in the center of a planet of somewhere in space, how the hell does a black hole just make it disappear? Matter and energy are prettymuch eternal, theory is that they can't disappear and they can't be formed out of nothing, they are transformed to something else.

It's kinda like the growing earth thing, Bush spends insane amounts of money to prove that there were deep oceans around over 200 million years ago, even if there is almost air tight proof that there wasn't. Earth was smaller back then and dinosaurs lived in smaller gravity, one of the reasons why they were so big.

Universe and everything grew apparently from nothing which is nice to know

This really seems a bold move, tho not as bold as the Adobe Macromedia thing, since Autodesk is way bigger than Alias, something that Adobe was not when compared to Macromedia.

I'm really pleased about the fact that Alias can have their hands on Autodesks bigger R&D budget and better company management.

That is why I didn't post during the weekend

Quote from alexroyce

No im saying either do something about it or dont be so outraged at it. Tons of living things die in tons of cruel ways every day, but if you sit around and mope about it youll do no good. Action is key for believing in morals. I dont believe signing a petition on the internet is action at all. Its the internet for one, and theres millions of petitions for good, bad, stupid and smart reasons, but ive never heard of any internet petitions working. In fact, all i hear is how they dont work.

Well, I think that not accepting this kind of thing IS action already, it is not concrete action that sets the laws, it is the general acceptance of it, many animal rights laws have been set because people didn't want it to happen, not because some Green Peace guys went and beat the shit out of people who torture animals.

It's quite common sense actually, if let's say out of million, nine hundred thousand people don't see animal cruelty that bad, what you think would happen when there is a goverment answering to that million? Would you think that they'd act against peoples general interest?

So just because you have eaten dog, it's ok to make them suffer? Or did I miss some magical point there?

If someone was fishing with my pet fish, I'd be pretty pissed, if someone was fishing with a normal fish from the ocean, I wouldn't give it a second tought, dogs are mostly pets, tho there are some wild dogs, but there are hardly any of those left.

And alex, are you referring that since any of us is actually DOING something to stop cruelty against other humans or keeping them from starving to death that we don't care? Did you miss the whole 80s where most of the Red Cross relief money sent to africa went to the "administration costs" of certain cruel dictators? That was a pretty big blow to everyone, after than money donations just dropped near to zero.

There are more than meets the eye here, and I'd like to think that you are smart enought to add things up so that you don't come across like an asshole, respect life even if you are about to eat it.

A goldfish has a memory that is cleared every three seconds

A factual error, goldfish memory is alot longer. Just thought to say.

Ah NVM, I was thinking something COMPLETELY other things at the time of typing.

Nice going tho.

There are alot of awesome stunt movies out there that beat Jackie Chan's ass, and even Tony Jaa's, nicely coreagraphed and great camera work, so it's nothing new that sometimes there is a scene like that.

But you have to remember, people think Jackie is so good because he does his own stunts he is a martial arts master and he is mildly funny, qualitites not often found in one place. Like for example, take Steven Seagal, he might be a master in Aikido, but he is ugly as fuck, fat and can act as much as a dessert pudding.
