Which Country Beside Yours Fascinates You?
Above The Rest replied to dark's topic in General Discussion
I live in Pennsylvania (duh) and I'm really fascinated by Japan.Super fast internet connections, anime, manga, Japanese women, all that stuff is cool.I'd like to go there someday. -
Global warming isn't a lie. It's a theory. And just like all theories, it should be proven right before any drastic measures are taken.

What Is The Most Popular Eshop In Your Country?
Above The Rest replied to nadazy's topic in General Discussion
Buy.com is probably one of the more popular non-amazon or non-ebay online shops. -
Drunk Dad Kills Daughter By Dragging Her Behind Pickup
Above The Rest replied to Thing's topic in General Discussion
No, it wouldn't only happen in America.Yes, it was his fault.No, he isn't a murderer.No, he shouldn't receive the maximum punishment possible. -
You can't blame the actions of people on religion, only on the people taking the actions.Religion doesn't kill people, people kill people.Whether or not there is a so-called "superior being" is an interesting question that has plagued humankind for many millenia. We have no proof of it's existence nor do we have any proof against it's existence.If people want to believe in it, that's fine. If they don't? Also fine. But forcing your will upon someone else, or insulting them because they don't hold the same mindset of you is ridiculous.War is never really started over religion. War is started over stupid dictators who can't control their ego and want to force their will upon others (whether it be through religion, or another set of ideals).Don't try and blame religion. There's absolutely nothing wrong with religion. Bad people do bad things and cause bad stuff to happen. Religion is a group of ideas, it can't kill someone.

That's the biggest lie that I've ever heard. Sure, sometimes Nokia has nice menus, but I'd say that the best interface award goes to Samsung (in my experience) and the ease of use award goes to LG (just seems like you can do everything pretty easily with those phones).

Taste is an opinion, and thus has no place in a debate. Furthermore, I don't know anybody who says "all vegetarians are thin and pasty", simply because there are many vegetables which provide the nutrients needed to maintin an average body weight. Vegans are far more likely to be "thin and pasty" than vegetarians. Whether or not the vegetable counter-parts of meat dishes are more healthy (which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of, in the way you stated it at least) isn't that important.

MyBB isn't that great.MyTopix is best.

I'm pretty positive he is/wasn't in China since Xisto is blocked there.

Invision Free is free. You're probably thinking of Invision Power Board which is a newer version that costs money. If you use a pirated version of it (like you appear to) they WILL catch you. Furthermore, SMF is quite good, but I prefer MyTopix. phpBB is terrible, though.

Safari is a bit sluggish, though. It is a beta, so they should fix that eventually, but WebKit has some rendering problems as well.I reccomend Firefox or Opera. I don't mean to turn this into a Browser Wars thread, though

I highly doubt that his ISP is redirecting his Google searches.

Listen.There's nothing wrong with vegetarians.There's nothing wrong with carnivores. No one group is more stupid, and no wrong group is more intelligent.They're just two different groups, with different beliefs or ideals. Is that so bad?Why can we all just get along regardless of belief, race, sex, morals, or ideas?

I am looking at the Sony Ericsson Z310a Jet Black, right now.Any experience with it? -
What Would You Do If There Was No Internet? hmm...
Above The Rest replied to whyme's topic in Science and Technology
I'd probably be doing all of the things that a nerdy kid did before there was the internet? -
Well, I don't know a lot about IE, but I know it sucks. Visit http://browsehappy.com/ for more information.

Five I.Q. points are negligible in most cases. And I.Q. does not nescessarily reflect the intelligence of an individual. I would argue that there is no TRUE correlation between not eating meat and increased intelligence. I would also argue that the reason for the average of 5 less I.Q. points is due to the fact that there are WAAAAAAAAAAAY more meat eaters on this planet, which means that there is more room for stupid people to be in that vategory. If you're going to make a statement like "Vegetarians are smarter than meat-eaters" you're going to have to back it up with something more than that FUD bullcrap.

I listened to his BioShock review awhile back and it was genius.I'll probably start going there to look at his reviews before buying any games.

My Idea For A Form Of Government Eleutherionism
Above The Rest replied to Above The Rest's topic in Science and Technology
What changes would you suggest? I understand there are many kinks. A lot of it needs to be switched around.Keep in mind, I though this up in a very short period of time, for the specific reason of having others input very early on. -
And in this situation, bots wouldn't work. We just don't have the processing capabilities to do this scale of monitoring. Perhaps in the future (depending on how things in America go after the election) there could be this type of thing, but I just really can't see it happening.Now if you were to say that telephone calls were being monitored on some sort of scale, that's probably something that I would believe.
