Topic: Serious Discussion / was 9/11 really planned by the united states government?

People all across the world have been trying to prove it for years. To qoute the post above me “don’t hold your breath”

Its possible they knew about and let it happen to justify the war, or they didn’t take their intel seriously thinking no one would really do it but eh.

Topic: Off-topic / is the world really gonna end?

Topic: Serious Discussion / Recommended Games: Not so much recommended as popular

Their needs to be a way to filter out all these facebook esque freenium that come down to grinding and paying money rather than being an actual game. Would it kill you to let us block the multiplayer tag?

I want to play good Towder Defense games and rpgs where you use stratergy to win.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Are the Merits of a Meritocracy Meritorious?

As long as the “lowest” classes are not left to starve or do nothing. If they are then its no better than now, and possibly much worse.

Also the defination of merit needs to be clarified. If your system would defend bankers and reward absurd bonuses for even doing your job so so at best, then its doomed to fail.

Who would actually judge merits and how would people be held culpable if they failed?

Topic: Serious Discussion / The Moral Argument

Most atheists realize that morality promotes a better society. Its all that really protects us from people doing their own thing and walking over others.

Topic: Off-topic / I Hate Very Religious People

These people repersent a very very very small portion of religous people, their just louder, easier to notice and draw attention to themselves. Its like saying all the hardcore aethists are angry teenagers try to destroy religion with words over the internet

Topic: Serious Discussion / Tulpas

I don’t think Tulpa is really real. Looking it up, it seems like something trolls came up with and desperate fools rolled along with.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Does suicide mean you are going to hell??

Originally posted by MyTie:

It’s for God to judge that. No one knows a man’s heart, except that man and God. Perhaps a person is stuck in a hopeless situation, with no fate but certain death in a short amount of time, and nothing else to accomplish.

For instance, if an astronaut were to get stuck in a situation where the capsule were spiraling into outer space, with no control, no communications, and no power. It’s only a matter of time before that astronaut freezes to death, and in the meantime he is stuck in a tumble dryer. That situation is hopeless, and painful, and slow death. If that astronaut had a gun, would God send the person to hell for skipping the last few days of slowly freezing to death in a dark Popsicle on spin cycle? That’s really up to God, not the Catholic Church, nor Atheists, both of whom would normally insist God is a vengeful awful intolerant being.

The way to Heaven is through Christ, and doing what He wants you to do. I can’t imagine Jesus would desire you to off yourself, but I also couldn’t imagine Him not being understanding to some circumstances. That said, it’s still not my call to make, nor anyone else’s.

I came in to post something like this and you’ve said it better than I ever could.

Contray to what japenese rpgs may teach you, we do not worship a callous and evil God.

If you are making them starve, you are no better than the african governments that are letting their people starve.

discuss

I think theirs a shelter for tramps and degenerates that will feed starving trolls. Its called 4chan

Topic: Serious Discussion / Is having sex at the age of 12 right

Its a troll thread, look at his other posts.

12 is too young, but fortuntly trolls dont get laid that early

Topic: Serious Discussion / Why Do We Feed Trolls?

I try to expose and rip them apart, or post in a way that encoruages people to stop feeding the troll, thus cutting them off from their food supply (doesn’t always work admittingly).

Sometimes its hard to tell the difference between an emotional teen with an ill informed oppinion and a troll, and sometimes ripping apart the opinion and exposing the lack of real arguments can be an effective anti troll tactic, if you don’t let yoru jimmies get rustled.

Why do people do so in genereal? SOme enjoy arguing, some don’t see the obvious troll, and some just can’t resist the bait

Topic: Serious Discussion / Important new free games

If its annoying then don’t drag it into serious discussion

Topic: Off-topic / Eight capital sins.

I was going to post “can’t tell if troll or idiot” but considering how many of your messages have been deleted, I’m incline to vote troll

Topic: Serious Discussion / How can we deal with the Muslim overreactions?

Did I have the right idea? I like to think I encompassed both points

Topic: Serious Discussion / How can we deal with the Muslim overreactions?

The problem is that theocracies are in general backwards and horrible ways to govern, and just beginning to be abused by people hungry for political power (and I say this as Christan ex Catholic).

The other problem is that America has done some genuinely bad things that the religous leaders are able to harvest for delicious propaganda, convincing many (but not all) citizens that America is some evil entity out to destroy Islam, can only be stopped with violence and anyone who disagrees is a coward and not a true Muslim.

The other other problem is that if we try to resolve this as violence, even in direct response to violence, the propaganda machine will gain more ammo and spawn loads more angry Muslins. And we’ve tried to take apart these groups, only to make yet more enemies.

The only solution I see is to get out of there and stop pissing them off further. Its sort of unfair having to walk on egg shells, but I don’t see a better alternative.

Sorry too distracted to read, but you are better off posting this on a anime or writing forum

Topic: Serious Discussion / Obama voters are officially retarded

The media had been focusing on stupid left wing people lately. Fortunetly we have you to remind us that stupid people exist on both sides.

Or prehaps not to judge an entire faction by the worst supporters

Topic: Serious Discussion / Quote Discussion, Current quote: “The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”

It does make sense that someone who sees the world differently would be more prone to genius.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Subjective Morality

Yeah I should say I don’t support a 100% Objective Morality (Beyond basically the Golden Rule), but I believe their are things are right and wrong in almost every circumstance.

I believe, but cannot prove, that there IS an absolute right and wrong.

I also believe we humans are pretty lousy at telling the difference.

This is actually a reason of mine for supporting Objective Morality that I should have mentioned earlier.
Their is no way to prove a set moral code, but certain actions are good and bad for society as a whole (i.e murder). Their may be times even something like murder would seem acceptable, but by for instance saying its acceptable to murder evil people would let more people make judgements about who is or isn’t evil, and not everyone would judge well..
An example of this is killing Cop Killers, which on the surface doesn’t seem that bad, but when its open season it can lead to Police Brutality against any perp the police felt was too much hassle.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Flag Burning

I bet if we burned flags of Middle Eastern countries they’d respond with yet more violence.
Moral Dissonance seems to define fundamentalists who pervert there own religions. God gave us Free Will for a reason

Topic: Hero Zero / Donuts!

Yeah I never got the whole “Free to play” pay to win games, especially facebook games (though their are much worse ones than this one). For the money they expect you to pay to win you could probably buy several more polished and fairer commercial games

Topic: Hero Zero / DONUTS FOR QUARTER LEVEL 14 UPGRADE

Lol paying real money for a facebook game. Not likely
