Why are we here? The answer is of course simple.... As are all the answers to the most complicated and philosophically deep questions. Why should there be a why? There is no reason for our existance. Think about it, don't expect to be able to comprehend this entirely as it is impossible with our infinitley limited brains. But try and imagine infinity. A big vaccum of space that stretches on forever. It will never ever ever end. You could shoot off 265 times the speed of light in a direction and keep going the same way for trillions of years and never reach an end. Because there isn't one. Now think about matter. There is almost definatley more than one "universe" I personally believe that there are an infinite number of universes. (Not too sure on the plural of that word though) In this infinite number of universes there is a finite amount of galaxies and therefore a finite amount of planets yes. But infinity times )( is still infinite. There is an infinite number of planets. Therefore the chances of something happening like this are almost 100%. Think about it. A quadrillion number of monkeys at a quadrillion computers for a quadrillion years. Trillions of them are going to produce a coherent word, billions maybe a sentence, millions maybe a short paragraph. Maybe 10 or 20 are going to make a full novel, with twists character development and other such things that happen completely by chance. Maybe the monkey may make a few typing errors but the world that we live in isn't perfect either, that just feeds into my analogy. The monkey did not have a reason for typing that novel. He just did it by accident *of course when I use this analogy of monkeys at computers I am taking into fact that none of them die or take a break or the computers cease function. It's just to personify the idea of randomness coming together to find something coherent. In this infinite cosmos say there are a few sub atomic particles that just happen to attract another one. The particle was never created. Why should it have been created? Because everything that a human can imagine has to have a maker. Surely that's just logic, you might say. Nay nay, as I stated before we have a very finite brain capacity. Infact an infinitley finite brain capacity as it were. We will never understand things like eternity or life after death. *Until of course we die* But say these sub atomic particles in this infinite mass of emptiness. These particles come together via gravity and become helium. They all mass together over a very, very long time and we get a much larger thing. This process has no time limit for it to be created. It has all eternity to make something. And it finally does, a small rock that inhabits some tiny microorganisms. This is also simultaeneously happening trillions of times over elsewhere in the infinite cosmos. Eventually the tiny microorganisms decide they like where they are and evolve and adapt. As the climate and enviroment changes into the certain areas where they are on this rock they become different from each other. They begin to have to eat each other to survive. Large rocks are just wandering around through space and ono the off chance just happen to collide with the earth. These creatures that have adapted to this enviroment are fleeting. They leave way for a new dominant species. We develop from doing miscellaneous tasks and become a small tribe of animals. We then breed and think more about things. Just out of sheer luck having the adding help of an apposable thumb we take over. You were then born from two of these animals. They are no different from any of the other microorganisms on the other trillions of planets that have life on them but your just lucky you got the good planet. Theres no reason your here. Your just another microoganism that got lucky.tl;dr theres no point in life

I'm atheist for a start. Like a strict one, I believe in logic and science. *Taking that into point I do not believe only in science, we have yet to discover many things we do not know about the universe et cetera. I believe that there is an infinite number of universes (is that the correct plural?) and that space stretches on forever and there are planets/comets/stars right the way up to the edge which doesnt actually exist.* The big questions in science are usually, depending on your own opinion, "if you can't create energy or destroy it then where did it come from". "How did the universe start and how is the singularity possible" and other such things. I believe that thinking that a God or any team of Gods created it all would be taking the easy way out that we humans can comprehend. Someone must have made up religion initially anyway, if they didn't why are there different religions? Why do some passages of the bible contradict each other? There is just nowhere near enough evidence to start assuming there is a God. Debate on the concepts of atheism aside, I think it's wrong for any religion to be discriminated against. Granted it can on occasion if the person is devout enough alter the perceptions of the person but they shouldn't be "below" anyone else. Also I find it pretty retarded that half of americans wouldn't vote for a president because he wasn't a christian. What if it's the wrong religion and everyone ins the USA goes to hell for voting for a blasphemic man D: That would be terrible.

Well seen as it's out by now and I've seen it I guess I should review it Spoiler free =D OK So the plot is very basically that theres this one guy left on earth. Everyone died out because some fricking stupid scientist thought she could cure cancer with this virus. Problem is that it makes you uber freaky. He is immune to this weird *bottom* virus though and seeks shelter in the city. I'm not going to say any more because everyone has to go see this film. The plot is actually based on the '54 book of the same name. There are many variations to the original book however as you will discover upon seeing the film and reading the book. Again I'm not going to point these out I'm jsut saying that if you have read the book don't expect it to be an exact replica because it is indeed nowhere near that. Will Smith's role portrays mild case of insanity upon the premise of being left alone in the world without any kind of human interraction at all. The only companion he has is his dog Sam. He brings over the role of lonliness and insanity in a performance that seems completely effortless. The scene at the brooklyn bridge cost five million US dollars to create. That is the most amount of money spent on any set in New York City. The makers must have been very confident in the success of this film. It is actually a horror genre film. This is not portrayed in the best sense really. The "dark seekers" are made using CGI *originally it was going to be actors with prosthetic legs as in this film they are mutants as appose to the novels original vampires. The director didn't think it was convincing so he changed it to CGI.* but just aren't really all that scary. One would have thought using CGI the possibilities are compleletly endless. They can make them as terrifying as they like. This is not the case as I was not personally very scared by them. This might be due to severe desensitisation to horror over the years though. All in all I thought the film was fantastic. It protrayed alot of emotion. Certain moments almost had the entire audience in tears. A heavy use of action and concentrated awesome shone through the film. There was often explosions and guns and really cool stuff happening. Five stars. I love it. I've seen it once and i plan on seeing it again atleast twice before it comes out on DVD. I will then watch it every night. tl;dr epic win

A Smurf Movie i cant believe it the blue guys....
Dagoth Nereviar replied to Saint_Michael's topic in General Discussion
Is that a joke? D: It has to be. In this day and age with big names like sean connery and such theres no feasable way that that is actually the real thing. I thought it was in CGI D: WHAT IS THIS TOMFOOLERY Dx On the topic of the film itself. I think it will be an enormous flop. Way too late. Children of this day and age have no concept of the smurfs. If i recall from watching a few episodes in my severe youth there was all these happy blue midgets that didn't wear shirts and had no nipples that all lived in this mushroom like forest place and this bigass badguy gargamel (sp? if thats even his name) wanted to smush those lil dwarfs. That will not make a good 21st century film. There's not enough up to date stuff to work with. The kids haven't seen these shows and don't understand it. Epic Fail -
Family Guy Or Simpsons Go family guy :D
Dagoth Nereviar replied to savgunz's topic in General Discussion
Family guy uses the pursuit of "OMG YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ON TV LOLOLOLOLOLOL" to achieve humour. That is sometimes nice. But theres not enough of it to justify the epic humour it should be getting. If they pushed it a little bit further and made it a little bit more illegal it would be much funnier imo. It seems like they're not trying hard enough. I do however love family guy and have seen most episodes. It totally rules. The Simpsons on the other hand uses a different type of humour. It's not politically incorrect daredevil jokes and stuff. But it's genuinely funny scripting. Occasionally they try to be funny and don't succeed but on the whole laughs are achieved more or less every episode. It's been on the air longer than it should have though. It's run it's course. Hopefully it'll be taken off before they do something terrible like make a movie out of it...Oh god wait. -
How Many Primes Are There? Crazy Question
Dagoth Nereviar replied to rajibbd's topic in Science and Technology
Right think of it this way. For primes and shizzle going on forever there would have to be no gap in the multiplications. Ever.2x1 = 22x2 = 4 Note that there are gaps between the numbers, 3 and five are prime *this just happens to occur because 2 is the lowest let me finish*2x3 = 6 2x4 = 83x1 = 33x2 = 6 Now we have two sets of numbers that covers a larger area. There are gaps where there is no 7. If we were to keep going in this method we would find 3x3 = 9 that there will always be gaps between numbers. If you don't believe me plot it onto a graph and extrapolate it. Prime numbers exist to infinity.3x4 = 12 -
At the end of the quote it said that it is all only the first day of eternity. So no it doesn't stop the analogy is eternal. It is a stupid analogy really as said above eternity is a man made idea and it is impossible to put into context. Everything is pointless. Don't think about it.

Is Homosexuality Right Or Wrong? your views
Dagoth Nereviar replied to wakelim's topic in General Discussion
If people CHOSE to be homosexuality it would be wrong. It is a bad idea to not allow yourself to procreate. We're supposed ot be going FORWARD not backwards :LBirth rates are dropping and death rates are rising. Homosexuals really aren't helping. However it's not their fault they were born that way. Let sleeping dogs lie. They never chose to be that way. So I say leave em to it. People are just people after all. Regardless of skin colour or religion or sexual orientation. -
Yeah, if that worked dont you think it would be commercialised and brought about into a full scale treatment used world wide? Think before you post please.

5"6 isn't even that tall for a 12 year old. Chill your beans kid. My buddy was 5"8 when he was 12. He was fine with it. Being tall is a gift not a curse. And if you can't get a girl because your tall. Then find some girl that isn't a stuck up b*tch. Yes they may very well be mythological beings to most men but I'm sure they do exist. I will find one one day.

How To Loose 2kg In Ten Days? well....
Dagoth Nereviar replied to scutari's topic in Health & Fitness
Has nobody in this forum ever watched the show "biggest loser"? xD In that show the contestants are placed on a very strict diet and excercise regime. It is not abnormal for people on that show to lose 7 pounds in a week (they get weighed once a week and the one that loses the most weight gets kicked out) I have witnessed people on that show loosing more than 15 pounds in a week. Thats alot more than 2.2 kg XD. This show does not use any type of medication or weight loss wonder pill. It's just hard work and determination of the contestants who all have personal reasons for being on the show. That is all it takes to lose weight. Goals. Motivations. Most overweight people chose to be fat, granted they are occasionally suffering from a bad mettabolic rate or other factors that they can't control. But 90% of the time it's just people not looking after their bodies. -
Fast Food Secrets Things you probably dont what to know
Dagoth Nereviar replied to SolidShadow's topic in Health & Fitness
Did you personally do it? How old are you like thousands of years old? I doubt it. But i see your point. If we're dominating this planet we should be able to eat anything and everything we like! Also all this propoganda about how bad of a diet I'm on. How my heart is gonna stop, how theres fat infested dried vomit on my chips. I don't care. What if I went to a fricking salad bar to take the healthy choice and walked outside only to be shot in the face, hit by a bus, struck by lightnign and then pwned by a steamroller? What then? I'd rather have gone to mc donalds had a delicious piece of plastic and died of a heart attack. Why does it matter how we die? If there is no after life *which i personally are absoutley convinced there is no possibility of[not to all religious people I mildly over exaggerate that point, if you think you can prove the after life to me then go ahead be my guest. I'm just saying theres no way of proving it at all.] Then whats the point in living a good life only to die just like everyone else. Those last few years aren't gonna do you crap. You live a wonderfuly healthy life. Filled with disgusting salads and other terribly tasting foods and you'll be all. I don't care if it isn't as delicious as that quater pounder that my friends are eating. I'm going to live a few years longer In a few years time, inevitably, all your friends die. Let's say for arguments sake at more or less the same time. And your left alive. Maybe in an old folks home. Maybe in your own home. Maybe retired in the country. But all your friends are long dead. Long dead. It's just you and your healthy food. Waiting to die. Everyone has to die. You might meet new people. But they're gonna be old people. Your gonna have to catch up to a long time. And you won't know them long. Old people die. Tl;dr Eat mucus and die happy. -
The End Of The World By December 21, 2012
Dagoth Nereviar replied to X_X's topic in General Discussion
How exactly did you come to this conclusion? I do believe that science and religion are opposing forces. Fact/Fiction Sense/Nonsense Science/Religion. Anyway sorry if that offends everyone and I get sent to jail yada yada yada. BACK ON TOPIC! The world is not going to end on 2012 why should it? Because some people thousands of years ago thought it would? What evidence to they have to back it up. How do they think it's going to happen? War? Flooding? Some holy judgement? Are we going to drown in a sea of blood? Where are the texts that say in december 21 2012 we are going to die. Also what time will it be at? What date of 21 december will it be on? I do believe there is no time in the 24 hour day that the entire earth it at 21 december together. So is it like as soon as it becomes 21 of december you die and then the people in the next time zone wait an hour and then they die? I'm sorry this is stupid. -
The Dark Bulb-my Invention
Dagoth Nereviar replied to KansukeKojima's topic in Science and Technology
That's a pretty tall order saying that it's impossible. A long time ago we used to think alot of things to day were impossible deeming them as "magic" and other such silly things. Why is it impossible the creat a black hole on earth? It's been done to a certain extent, ie, they've been made in small laboratoriess but have only just survived a few miliseconds then vanished into nothingness. However if we can make them to last a tiny bit we could tweak the recipe or use more energy or something and they could last permanently. Theres no reason it can't be done. And if it can't then they would stop trying. -
Dinosaurs Never Existed - My Idea
Dagoth Nereviar replied to polter's topic in Science and Technology
I would like to see some evidence on the original "theory".What makes you think this is real. You have an idea now research it form as many different views as you can, write a hypothesis and then I'll give it a look at.Right now i believe that you must be joking to put forward such a ridulous and ludicrous scandal of an idea. Paleontologists, innocent paleontologists (if they are innocent) could be very offended by your ideas. And as we all know in this day and age offending any group of people is the worst possible thing you could ever ever do.The world fails at life. -
OK. Religion is a very questionable topic. Because EVERYONE seems to get incredibly offended by it. This brings me on to my first topic. Why the hell is everyone so hooked up on religion? I mean. If you say something bad to someone. And its about say. Their fashion sense. It's what they think look good so they'll be like. I see you disagree but I'm entitled to my own opinion ^.^. You are all like ^.^ okay then =D everyones fine. If you say, I think your religion is ridiculous and implausible they'll probably report you for racism, maybe cry, possibly never speak to you ever again. Why is it that people treat religion so much more seriously than everything else.Also another double standard is that priests seem to know everything about everything. Ok so theres an enormous earthquake and like 300,000 people die D: Everyone goes all emo and the scientists and geologists and other people that have been well educated in this field. OK so the news team goes to talk about the lovely people in white coats about what caused the earthquake. Bonny ^.^ Then they go ask a priest what he makes of it... Wait...WHAT?Yeah, I was watching an actual newsflash about an earthquake in some place I'd never heard of and they ask a priest what he thinks of the disaster. And he's like:It is punishment from god. Those people must have been sinners and deserved to die.I was sitting at my TV just like D: WHAT DID HE JSUT SAY!?Why did they even ask him! He clearly knows nothing about why earthquakes happen and is just rambling about his beliefs. Why are his opinions. Yes that's what they are, opinions. Better than everyone elses?? I quote Thomas Jefferson when I say "A proffessorship of theology should have no place in this instituion" He's right. Just cos someone has some belief thats totally diifferent to most other people makes him no expert in this field!I'm not going to start a religious debate on whether or not god exists. This isn't the place for it. I just think religion is totally overexaggerated. Whos with me.

I Really Hate Runescape is there nothing else?
Dagoth Nereviar replied to jmb2006's topic in The Vent
Practically impossible to hack you say? It's incredibly easy to hack actually :DPrograms that are used to hack it are openly available to the public (well you have to look for them and no im not going to reveal any of them) The graphics which i believe were previously mentioned are absolutely horrendous. If I was playing it and touched my monitor it would cut me. The sound is so unbearable too. It literally sounds like it is being churned out from an NES. The game play is so tedious as well! Levelling skills takes so very long and is so unrewarding. Wait No, you know what? Im not even gonna bother -
I Hate Children. A rant by Cameron Sherry
Dagoth Nereviar replied to Dagoth Nereviar's topic in The Vent
I understand were your coming from however I disagree. I do indeed also hate children but I severly intend on having my own. When I raise my child however it shall be with the utmost discipline! It shall respect my impeccably intense authority and will no its place. Physical punishment is not a problem. It's not abuse to smack your kid around the head if it's being a cheeky little sh**. I can't tolerate people that assume hitting your kid for being cheeky is abuse. It is abuse it you beat the crap out of it for no particular reason (or for a reason in fact) One smack and a very very firm NO does NOT constitute abuse. If you think this is abuse you are clearly a total p*ssy. I'm sorry but that's just how it is. Also as a note to the guy before me, you appear to have completely missed the point of this entire rant. It isn't about children needing to be eradicated. It's about parents raising children in an infuriating manner. -
Quatnum Physics - My Limited Understandings
Dagoth Nereviar posted a topic in Science and Technology
OK, So from what I understand, there is something called the copenhagen interpretation. Anyway theres a closed box and inside it there is a bowl with some unstable particles in it and thats connected to a hammer that's connected to a cat. If one of these particles goes weird the hammer falls and the cat dies. And theres another box with the same stuff in it. Both boxes are closed. In one of the boxes the particles are fine and the cat is alive. In the other it died cos the particles went weird. I think that it's like. The way the electrons move around an atom is totally random. They have no set orbit. And that if they exist in like two ways they could be different.What the heck does that have to do with anything. Random chance does not prove that there is an alternative universe. And apparently the guy who thought of it proved it with maths. How does one prove that with maths? Could someone please clarify this for me because to me it sounds totally silly. -
Well, it seems to me you just got onto a crap server... The server I used to be on was very similar to that *animaRO* Currently, however, I am using rebirthRO. This server is incredibly efficient. It is totally up to date and never has down time. As you mentioned the people there. I don't know how you got all those people there Alot of the peopel on rebirthRO are older than I am. They take levelling very seriously as well as maturely. As for my general opinion on this game. Just incase anyone is looking for an in depth review... I think this game is fantastic, the graphics are nicely detailed and of all the 1500+ monsters there are 5 different sprites. These are attacking, being hit, standing still, moving and finally dying. This means of course alot of data. Which brings me to my first negative point. The intial download, if you have a slow connection, can take quite some time. It is most advisable to leave the download on over night. Once you initially download it there are quite alot of different chars to choose from. You start out as a novice and have ten levels to get used to the game and decide which job you want. Then you chose your first job these are as following :- Swordsman - Strong melee Archer - Strong long range Thief - Speed Mage - Spell caster Gunslinger - Gun user Ninja - Spell caster mostly Taekwon - Very difficult to use but rather strong. All rounder Acolyte - Healers Merchant - Mostly used to sell things in shops but also reasonable melee strength You pick these classes then once your job level gets to 40 *you have two levels, one of them base which is how strong you are and job which you need to use to get skills* you pick a sub job for your character. Once these new jobbed chars reach level 99/50 they "trans" this means they are reborn as novices but stronger. You char becomes a high whatever it was before then a trans class of the second job. Each class has one trans job for the second job. The lines are like this. Swordsman -> Knight -> Lord Knight Swordsman -> Crusader -> Paladin Archer -> Hunter -> Sniper Archer -> Bard[or a dancer for females] -> Minstrel (also known as a clown)[a gypsy for females] Thief -> Rogue -> Stalker Thief -> Assasin -> Assasin Cross Mage -> Wizard -> High Wizard Mage -> Sage -> Scholar Acolyte -> Monk -> Champion (immensely strong) Acolyte -> Priest -> High Priest Merchant -> Blacksmith ->Whitesmith (mastersmith on some servers Merchant -> Alchemist -> Creators (Bio alchemist on some servers) This system works very well because all of the servers have a top level that, when reached, is very respectable to have. There is always a constant choice of different skills and stat builds to use. So two characters are very rarely the same. Hair and Clothing colour are customisable as well as hair style. This gives your character individuality as well as your own personal touch. There are over 77 styles:P Battling is very good. It is simple yet difficult. Skills are of course a necessity and most enemies even at high level will be impossible to defeat. You need to find friends to accompany you, but different classes level differently. In a party you can share exp or have it as each take. You need to make a party with different classes so they all help each other. You can also join guilds and have alot of fun in WoE fighting other chars for the right to a castle. This is really good as it pits yourself against many different enemies some of which are ridiculously strong. (level 255 sinX are almost unbeatable) anyway im gonna get going. TL;DR RO f*****g rules go download it right now!

The egyptians were super hardcore. Their gods were super hardcore. Everything about their entire cutlure was super hardcore. The greeks on the other hand were supreme fail. They believed that two otters could, and very often did. Kill crocodiles. Apparently they thought that they wrapped themselves around the croc's mouth and the other went for the eyes. Cos crocs apparently are supposed to have immense pressure to be able to push down their jaws. But opening them is a different matter. An elastic band is enought to restrain it. Anyway I'm rambling I watched on brainiac history abuse quite a while ago.. That the best way to have made the pyramids wouldnt have been to use slaves, but to treat your employees VERY well. It's proven people work better when theyre being treated than punished. I guess they never thought of this! I reckon the incredibly intricate interior was made from the same material as the outer layer. If they fashioned this material and it worked so well why not use it again? What do these specialists assume the interior is made out of anyway?? How did they fill the big blocks with all this stuff in it? Im so confused D:

What Do You And Your Friends Do To Pass The Time?
Dagoth Nereviar replied to Mermaid711's topic in General Discussion
Me n my buddies have alot of time on our hands because we don't really have any other friends we like apart from each other. Most of the time when were fishing for idea on how to piss our lives away. We end up going to the cinema. We were supposed to go yesterday to see that film 30 days of night. It looked *BLEEP*ing awesome. But chris didn't look 15. What the *BLEEP*? How are we supposed to prove we are of age if you can't get any ID until your about 17. What did she want us to produce? A copy of our birth certificates?? Like jesus christ on a bike ;-;Anyway with that plan screwed to hell we decided to go to KFC =D We got one of those new night in buckets. It was delicious thankyou =DWe then went to toys r us and did the usual playing on keyboards and shizzle, we played some xbox 360 too. When we get together we often play alot of video games because video games make the world go around dont they children?
