Okay:Person1: Hey, that was some f***ed up s**t they did to those poor terrorists, howabout we start our own terrorist movement because of it?Person2: Yeah! Let's!Person2: No wait, they bombed all the previous terrorists back to the stone age, right?Person1: Yes, thats why we're starting our own network..Person2: But won't they just bomb us too?Person1: ...Person2: Good luck with your new terrorcampain, I'm not in.

You can send the "excess" credits to someone and then have them give them back to you after you apply.

I can do that? Awesomeness.

Guess I'll send them to you then..

How do I do it?

EDIT--

No wait, I don't know you so what guarantee do I have you'll send them back? What guarantee do I have anyone will send them back?

/paranoid and untrusting

all your credits would be taken and you would be left with 2 or 3 for the initial stability of your account

AARGH!!

 

So ~45 credits will be "taken" from me? sadfnjsgfuyi

Story:

 

I was searching for free hosting, found this forum, really got into the concept of contributing to get uptime and started posting.

 

Problem:

 

My website isin't even half done yet and I have 70 credits as of this writing. Now, I thought that I could store up credits before I apply for hosting and then take a short break from the forum in order to manage my new site. But I now get told that when I apply for hosting and if I get accepted, my credits will JUST BE DISCARDED and I'll be left with 2-3 for the "initial account balance".

 

This means that I've been contributing as I was told to, and completely f*cking wasting my time. Or at least more then 50% of the posts I made was a total waste of time and will do nothing for my site.

 

So, you could call me an idiot for not researching this before I started posting. Yeah, allright, I can accept that BUT I think it's totally unfair and the rules should be changed.

As a reminder, you can use REPORT button at the bottom left of a topic/post to alert moderators with this nature.
Thank you.

Yes, I know, I think I've used the report function once allready, can't remember which post it was but it wasn't that one.

A two year old post is hardly worth reporting. I did get a PM though which I'm gonna report because it was spam/advertising.

I've never noticed it spelled on the show. Since I haven't read any news articles until now, I didn't know how it was spelled. Since it's pronounced the same way, I don't believe for a second you knew what I was talking about. However, now that you do, do you also believe that torture should be an accepted method of extracting information from people?

Bower and Bauer isin't pronounced the same way. Or maybe it is, depending on accent. But now that all that is cleared up, it doesn't really matter.

 

Besides, every other American fictional figure is named Jack so it doesn't really tell me anything.

 

Well, if YOU had to choose between the saving the lives of potentially hundreds of innocent people and saving the fingernails of the person who planned the attack about to happen, I'm pretty damn sure I know which one you would pick.

 

And no, I'm not saying torture is morally right in any given situation but I do believe that we have to pick the lesser of two evils.

 

Where did I ever indicate that I thought Americans were better than you, wherever you are? How is it anything but a compliment to you that I assume that you're American based upon your English writing skills? (Notice above I specifically said "American English".) There are plenty of examples of people on this board who actually are from America who don't have as good a handle as you have on the written English word. I give them grief all the time about it. One of the very best writers on Xisto is actually from India. So, in no way should you take that as anything but a compliment. But, for future reference, I'm quite sure I'm not the only one who might assume that you are either from the U.S. or Canada unless you indicate otherwise. Canadians are usually quite proud to state they're from Canada in their Avatar space for the whole world to see, though, so it actually didn't occur to me that you might actually be from there.

I do recognize the compliment, thanks, but I still say you're arrogant for assuming I'm American and/or that English is my primary language, which it is not. Seeing as you're American I don't know if you're awere of this but everyone else in the world know that Americans think they are better then people from other countries. Which is why you invade countries that don't follow your standards of democrazy. Unless ofcourse it's a big and scary country like China.

 

"American English"? I'm not sure what you mean by this as the only American English I can think of if the one spoken in America (as opposed to the one in England). So you'll have to clarify this a bit or I'll have to assume you're talking about me spelling the word color like that instead of colour like they do in England, for example.

 

No, now you really ARE hiding your country of origin. Why?

Allright fine, since you are so fixated on where I'm from:

 

Fridhemsv?gen 1, permo, Jakobstad 68600, ?sterbotten, Finland, Europe.

 

Ok. Fair enough. Will you volunteer to be one of those innocent people who are mass-murdered to create your "omelet"?

No, ofcourse not and neither would you. No normal human volunteers to be murdered. Not even for peace.

 

And since I know that you'd bring up the muslim martys in your next post, they don't count. They don't really do what they do to spread islam (or peace or whatever), they do it because in their delutional belife they get to go to islam heaven and have sex with 72 whores if they "die for islam".

 

 

and bla bla bla I'm in school and don't have time to write out a proper reply

I have over 50 and my page isin't half done yet :/Anyone want 20 points? or can I even donate before I'm hosted?--EDITI just looked and it says I have over 60, damn I thought I could save up points before I get my site so I'll have time to fill it with content in the first months or so. Thats disapointing.

Hardly, I was simply stating that even if the terrorists were tagged as casualties of war, the nature of a nuke (mini or otherwise) is a radial blast; not precise and not discriminatory. So unless you can gurantee that everybody within a x-mile radius is a terrorist you will be mass murdering innocent people.

Ok, fine, no nukes then. There are other kinds of bombs as well which are powerful enough to wipe out a region equalent that of a small nuke, not considering the global enviromental effects a nuke has ofcourse.

A couple of innocent peolpe has to be mass murdered in order to create an omelette, if you know what I mean.

Furthermore, even if you could gurantee that all the terrorsits in the world would be nuked at once, extreme action such as that would give birth to a whole new group/level of terrorist.

I don't belive that. Who would become a terrorist organisation because of it? The Red Cross? W.H.O.? The hippies?

Make this kind of post illegal.

Warn and delete on first and permaban on second.

Please.

Hope you enjoy your stay and remember to read pinned topics as this board is not late to bring down the law on people who misbehave.

 

Not that I'm assuming you will but.. You know.. Just as a friendly reminder..

Terrorism will never be stopped by another, equivalent use of force.

What I was suggesting* was not an equal use of force.

 

Our standards may suggest that US is the freedom fighter, but what of the standards lived by extremist militants? They have their own.

Yes, I agree to this 100% but does it go further? Yes. The US is trying to inflict their standards on everyone else in the world with balant disregard to cultural history, and so are the extremists. Both are basicly doing the same thing but with slightly different tools. Both are going for the same goal, which is to make the other side think and live like themselves.

 

Ofcourse, this is not limited to the US and the extremists, there are many other factions doing this exact same thing, the US vs Terrorists being the most powerful example right at this time.

 

the best to way to be near it [peace]is to start respecting people near us.

Well yes and no. Get Bin Laden and Bush into a room and tell them to start respecting eachother, you think they'll shake hands and make friends?

 

No, ofcourse not, they hate eachother, there can never be respect between two sides which fundamentally disagrees about everthing.

 

What I'm hinting at here is that there isin't room for both in the world. One will need to perish or at least be reduced to a state of existance in which the stronger one can contain and control the lesser from uprise. Not before then will there be peace. What I just said might sound a bit fascistic, and it is and I don't like it myself. But it is, however cruel it may sound, logical and reasonable from a historical perspective. Humans have done this to eachother through out history. And as much as we would like to think that we are more sophisticated and smarter now then we where in the past, we are not. It is impossible to change our historical heritage.

 

*what I was saying in my first post was to use a much stronger force as a kind of muscle flex. Anyone with a functional brain must recognize that I wasn't being serious there, I don't support the usage of nukes any more than you do. I was simply trying to spawn a debate. Sorry if I came of as stupid and crazy.

see for yourself

 

You should have said Jack Bauer and I would have known what you were talking about we DO get that show. I watched the first few episodes and grew tired of it.

 

Why are you hiding your country of origin? Right there, to the left of this, it says what country I live in. If you don't list your country and you speak good American English, then I'll assume you're from America unless it says otherwise under your avatar

I'm not hiding anything, I just haven't had the time to write out unimportant info in my profile yet.

 

And by the way, it is kind of insulting that you assume I'm from America just because I know how to write english. What you're basicly saying is that only people who actually live in america knows how to use the english language. Which, besides from being totally wrong, is ignorant, arrogant and proof of the American "we're better then you" attitude.

 

<- Fixed.

That's what almighty Google is for...

Well, he was trying to insult me and because I didn't know what he was talking about the insult failed. And therefore I informed him about my ignorance of American television in order for him to be able to make a better attampt

If you ask me, we hurt a lot more than their feelings

What, besides their feelings, did the Danish cartoons actually hurt then?

So when Afghanistan was taken over by the regime then we said "You suck, what the hell dude" ? Tell me what you're basing that off of.

Just an impression I got from watching the news everyday. Didin't claim it was a fact or that everyone does it.

So if I called you up on the phone today and demanded that you couldn't go potty from now on, and if you did I would nuke you, you would listen?

I sure as hell would think twice about going though. And when I decide to test my luck and go anyway at least the neighbour next door sees what happens when your warnings are ignored.
This is however quite an unfair comparison you're making here. I need to go potty or I'll *BLEEP* my pants, terrorists will surely not *BLEEP* their pants just for avoiding blowing themselves up..

Yes, I'm quite sure they have very sophisticated infrastructure up there, including mud huts and caves, just to name a few.

?

Oh, yeah, definatly.

 

I'm not in a hurry to get it up so I get to focus on getting it free of bugs and extra unsighty content

 

In both languages, huh. That would mean that the articles and strips would allso come in two versions.. I'm not sure I got the skills or, more importantly the time to do that :/ It would be neat though.

 

Unfortunatly, I can't write javascript so thats out of the question here

 

And allso some kind of comment system would be nice.. Guess I'll have to brush up on my php/mysql skills for that.

 

Argh, this is gonna take some time.

Yeah... I don't know what cave you were raised in, but last time I checked nuclear explosions not only affect those in their immediate vicinity including every biological thing, you know, cats, dogs, horses, snakes, spiders... EVERYTHING, but everything down wind all the way across the planet, including YOU and ME. Wake up man! Start thinking critically! You're completely wasting your meager brain power thinking up garbage that CAN'T happen without giving us all CANCER! And how is it ever right to kill innocents anyway? I suppose next you'll be telling us fictional characters like Jack Bower are GOOD. Go spew your ignorance elsewhere. Or grow a pair.... of brain cells.

Who is Jack Bower? I'm sorry but I can't see all your awesome glorious American TV shows (I'm going out on a limb here and assuming it's a TVshow you're talking about) here on the other side of the atlantic ocean, so I really don't know who you're talking about.
btw,
How many braincells do I need to grow and add to my current pool in order to understand humor and sarcasm on the internet?

Radiation, ecological and terrain damage aside genocide is a punishable crime even in war. You can't just kill people because you disagree with them or in this case because they are agressive towards you. This holy war is fought by extremists who take the teachings of their own people too far. It happened in a different form with the Christians during the Crusades, but nonetheless it happened. The true way to defeat such a regime of unjust acition and ill-conceived action is knowledge; lift the veil of ignorance and work towards understanding.

Genocide? When did religious fanatics become a separate part of the human race?

Are we now categorised into whites, blacks, asians, extremists, etc etc?

You can't just kill people because you disagree with them

Man, this gets me, it really does.Go ahead and name me one war that wouldn't have happened unless people "disagreed" with eachother.

I bring up a well known quote, "One man's terrorist is another mans freedom fighter" So by definition. You would be a terrorist. The truth of the matter is anyone who spreads terror is a terrorist, Bush, Blair, the UN are all terrorists really. Bush and Blair bring the worst of the three. I think the only way to rid the planet of terrorists is to rid the planet of humans.

So by definition, the Dalai Lama is a terrorist? How about mother Theresa? Jesus?

Now, I don't know what the "Middle East envoy" is but I'm having a hard time understanding how Tony could use it to advance his "reign of terror".

Starcraft: Broodwar (In sovjet russia, cannon rushes YOU)(<- that pretty much explains my usual strategy )Dawn of War + expansions (I used to be quite good at this game)Age of Empires 2Tiberian SunIn that order.

Hey guys :)Something else, Thing, I'm going to create a personal website where I post articles and invite friends to write articles about anything. I have a few made allready so the site won't be empty when it goes online.And allso I'm going to draw a comic strip every day and put it up there. Nothing fancy though.And more stuff as soon as I get more ideas. Feel free to suggest!Ray... thats not a bad thought but we'll have to see how things turn out.I've got 34.01 points allready which is the required amount for the #2 package but I haven't finished coding the site yet (not even half the work is done) lol so it'll take some time before it's up.What I haven't decided yet is wether to make the page in english or my native language (swedish). I guess the upside with making it in english would be that I can reach out to a wider audience.. The upside with putting everything in swedish is that it would be more personal + the fact that swedish is much easier for me to write in and get said what I want to say..And the downsides of both are obviously the opposites of the upsides..What would you recommend?

Most world leaders are afraid of hurting the feelings of any extremist religion.

 

Because of 9/11.

 

Have you ever had a dog? Do you know the differance between a dog which you let do whatever it want and a dog which you teach that you're the #1 strongest alpha dominant leader?

 

The dog which you don't disipline will disrespect you and it'll think it's the boss in the house while the dog you dicipline will respect you.

 

Now, if a countryindividual person today insults.. Islam, for example, the extremists of that religion will become furious and there will be protests etc etc you know the proceedure.

 

It's at this point I think we go the wrong way; What we do is blame the country in question for not censoring the person/newspaper that posted the incredibly humorousoffensive cartoons. We give THEM critique when...

 

What we should do is:

 

1. "grow a couple" and

2. instead of supporting the terrorists and saying that it's wrong to offend people the leader would call the extremist leaders on the phone and tell them something along the lines of <<REMOVED>>. This would teach them that they can't mess with todays nuclear superpowers. And of they mess with them, boom! instantly. MuHaha let's see you bi*ch now!

 

Or maybe thats the solution? :fart: Nukes instantly?

 

A couple of small nukes, blowing up well selected regions of the torabora mountains..?

 

 

 

please note that this is not a anti-islam post I do not think more or less about any religion in the world.

 

Loosing 2kg in ten days is possible but definetly not healthy.

Your friend had a BMI of 38 which is FAAR beyond the line of obesity.

Obesity can, btw, lead to:

Hypoventilation syndrome
High blood cholesterol
High blood pressure
Fatty liver disease
Heart disease
Diabetes
Cancer

To lose weight fast through pills of different kinds won't last. It is, in fact, worse to "yoyo" (meaning that you go up and down in weight) with your weight then it is to actually be fat. And every time a person loses weight and goes up again it's harder to go down again.

Artificial, I don't know (haven't heard her music)

 

But cute?

Yes!

Hello!I'm a 19 year old art student from scandinavia..In my free time I like to experiment with electronic music and make digital art.<--- yes, I actually look like that ^__^I used to play games alot before my studies began so I know a bit about that stuff..Will be posting/helping out where I can at the forums, my english isin't good enough for any advanced debates but I manage replying to simpler topics.Cheers!

Note: I know this thread is old but I feel the need to help this person.

 

the new cure for cancer

What new cure?

 

As for question #2:

I am an atheist but for the sake of argument I'll assume god exists for a moment;

 

The bible says:

God is allmighty and all knowing

And how many times have we all not heard:

God has a plan for all of us

Ok, so for starters let's find out what the term allmighty means:

Being allmighty means that you can do whatever you want, basicly. If you're allmighty, you're perfect in every sense. You know everything about everything. Everything that has ever happened everything thats happening and everything that will ever happen. And you have the power to change all that with a simple thought.

 

[there are issues about the paradoxal state of allmightyness and why it's impossible to be logically perfect, but I'll disregard that in writing this post and assume that God is in fact perfect and allmighty]

 

Read more about perfection here: wikipedia.com - perfection

 

Now, if God is allmighty and he's (God should actually be called "it" because he cannot have a sex but "he" simply sounds better and is commonly used so I'm gonna go with that) got a plan for each and every one of us (leading to some unknown end), that plan is assumably pretty solid and thought-through, right? You see, a perfect entity wouldn't create an unperfect plan now would it? This brings us to the fact that humans, in all our Godgiven glory, are not perfect. But again, God created us all just the way we are to fullfill his grand plan.

 

Now (the following may sound a little "harsh" but I mean absolutly no disrespect to you or your late friend) if a man is dying from cancer, this must mean God has given him that cancer for a reason, be it to test his faith or just to kill him. Now, if that man prays to God to cure his cancer, God is given a choice, A) Ignore the divine plan which God has had since the beginning of time before the universe, earth and mankind even existed and cure the mans cancer (unless curing the man is in the plan as well, which isin't the case here) or Ignore the mans prayer and let the cancer kill the man, allowing for God's predetermined cause continue without change.

 

So, logically, option A is pretty much out the window here.

as anti-depressants only give the allusion of happiness, not real happiness

Well, thats not entierly true..

 

Happiness as a feeling is, fundamentally, nothing more than a chemical reaction in your brain. So wether the feeling of joy or happiness is induced by a drug or by a puppy, doesn't really matter.

 

It's kind of like saying that clinical artificial inpregnation of a woman just gives her the illusion of a pregnancy because the emryo isin't naturally conceived as the result of a man and a woman having sex.

Aye, no fancy 'auto-webpage' generators here either

The best sites are the ones that are easy to look at and dont have a bunch of extra gif and flash animations everywhere.

Like this one for example.
