Nor would I consider myself generally wide eyed or paranoid. Perhaps a bit wide eyed but that's because of the lengths people go over this sometimes. You declare them 'scary' because obsessive personalities obsess. They also obsess over perfect scores in arcade games, pen and paper games, and a hos...

Work on that literacy. The only sentence with 'killers' is in the context of the Doom Paranoia. And I know your common tactic of creating strawmen by innuendo. Your the one that equated this disucssion to the likes of censorship junkies that call games "murder simulators" and try to make them illeg...

This is all so familair... So utterly familiar... OMFG! People take Doom too seriously! They're growing up to be killers! OMFG! People take Dungeons and Dragons too seriously!

MMORPGS gettig scary?
Is it me or are these things, and World of Warcraft especially, getting to be very scary in how seriously people take them? I mean I know people who's sole interaction, with a flesh and blood girlfriend no less, was conducted almost exclusively in WoW. I know people that play for hours every day, to...

Don't trust them a bit. There's been a case of a terrorist backed 'party' moderating signifigantly after getting into power.. Sinn Fein.. And ultimately leading to disarment. But while that possibility exists, it's gotta be around the level of Bush coming out tomorrow and saying 'You know what? I b...

All you're doing on a political level is pandering to a group who won't give you credit for it, alienating people you need and pissing off needlessly people who you have to live with at the end of the day. Morally you're sinking to levels that you'll need a steamshovel to dig out of. The problem is...

The problem with that is it's a pure pipedream: 1) Russia has superior war making capacity and a greater ability to trade distance for time. Not to mention the Russias have the great General Winter to chew through Nazi numbers. 2) The Germans can't hit Britian hard enough to supress the RAF. Between...

I have no idea what the canon status of these are, but I saw preview trailers of Serenity that consisted of interviews of River before she went into the Alliance facility and during the time when they were changing her. I assume you mean the River Tam Sessions? Those damn well better be canon as Jo...

The brightest thing one can do, if the goal is world hegemony, is to cozy up to the US and England. It's often been overlooked but both were fairly sympathetic to Facism. Certainly FDR and the Chamberlain Government had some degree of good feeling and sympathy. Even better if I skillfully play the a...

Tortoise, you did not address frigid's points on social economic status, you merely dismissed them. Now if you have evidence that suggests that serial killers are equally likely to be poor as middle class or wealthy, then you can dismiss it. Actually, FBI crime data tends to suggest that they come ...

Well to be fair, I think Oregon handles the issue very well. The doctor never touches a needle. He prescribes a non-painful poison, which you then pick up from a pharmacy, and can take, or no take, at your lesure and discretion in your own home. Which still puts the onus of actually killing themsel...

If you are unable to account for the glaring discrepency between what I say, and what you claim I say(Say, where you ask what makes Iran a good member of the Nuclear Club), then that's your problem, kiddo, not mine. I'm sure you'll try and claim some sort of higher moral ground, as you are with thi...

You know, I rather specifically outlined where you lied about my position for a reason. Since you've demonstrated you feel no need to address your blatant dishonesty, there's no point to debating you. Oh, I'm sure you'll declare victory; those who lie about their opponent's positions are hardly abo...

But suppose I can find someone with expertise to do it as I expect? Someone with medical expertise that can end my life smoothly as I intended?

My first post in this thread was not a typing exercise, Stormbringer. It is there for a distinct reason: A bombing campaign will not resolve the problem. Wrecking the facilities that produce nuclear weapons will put an end to their ability to produce nuclear weapons. Your definition of failure seem...

Why should they suddenly 180 to success in Iran? A far, far better track record at bombing things as opposed to dealing with isurgencies? Oh, I fully suspect they'd like to start a war. After all, having The Bomb didn't stop Vietnam, or Afghanistan. But knowing I said that would require reading wha...

Actually, I wouldn't say America's obligation to defend others puts America in a bad light. Given the attitudes of pricks like Keevan Colton or Weemadando or Elfdart, I'd say it certainly has. No, it's arseholes like you and all the others of the Shep School of International Affairs that cast Ameri...

Osama's still alive. The weak, divided, distracted Americans did, in fact, wander off and not finish the job. And that works against them believing they can take us on and win how?
