I don't think you should have religious children. I don't think they are old enough to have made up thier minds. I mean sure teach kids some people think this and some people think this and you can decide what you want. I wouldn't have a communist or facist or socialist school where kids get split into political affiliations they're just too young to make up thier minds. It's creepy when people threaten kids with burning in hell oe when they worry about thier friend who go

Sorry I opened my mouth. I thought you were sincerely interested in the different beliefs of Protestantism vs. Catholicism, even if you personally didn't espouse either. Well, you see I went to school in scotland which is know for its inventivness and science and rationality. My old primary school has had to be updated by a new state of the art school, wind turbines powering things and broadband blackboards and big new playgrounds where the kids

Oh no my argument is fatally flawed better covnert quickly.... oh no... wait a minute there is no hell that's all made up as well. Lucky me i'm safe after all. Catholisiim vs protestantism? thats a whole other can of worms. then you break down into protestant cults, church of scotland (calvanist/prestbyterian) vs church of england (back door papery) and you end up with even more heresies! Buy into this stuff and CO2 emissions are going throught he roof! Then you have the

There are too many factors to just slap a tag on this. It depends on the game, and on the person and on that persons circumstances and on resource allocation and eductaion. plus what do you do when you complete a game? do you get another or do you keep playing the same one? is the addiction finite? do you grow out of it? Computer games, as with any fantasy world - films - music industry persona - role play games (i been arguing with some right weirdo on the 40k forum) - the cul

Your original warstars were stonkiing and influenced me to amke a dreadstar one nasty beast that turned out too nasty. Too kyro's hull mod added an extra blank hull with capacity 300, forgot to factor in that miniturization happens in the game and ended up with a ship that ate through fleets like an angry badger through druids! errr yeah where was i? oh yes BRING BACK THE WARSTARS!

science damn you real life for stealing all my precious snappy rejoined time! Sorry been arguing with someone else (hmm patern emerging?) about mods and how accurate they really need to be. I was making the point that once your dead you cease to exist and since you didn't exist pre life there is no difference. Is it jesus we're waiting for? so we can narrow the issues in that you don't beleive in all the greek gods, hindu gods, celtic gods, norse gods, native american

Not denying the personal comments? hit a nerve have i. The political thing? you've proved that yourself with two jihad essay's "burn the infedl who creates that which is not sanctioned! the correct spelling of Aun is more important than enjoyment!" I, like the lack of information thing, its funny that you've set down cast iron laws in a universe that changes to suit the corporate whims of GW.

It's not a belief. I think people that beleive in gods are wrong and have essentially just made up an extra big version of santa. If some guy materialised in front of me tomorrow and said "your wrong I am god now pack this nonsense in" and then flew off i would have to change my mind. We have pretty much the same stance I just go one better. As to being dead everyone knows what happens when your dead. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing happens when your dead. I was dead when the di

Crashed again in the yar just prior to the united planets meeting. I've done 1 mod where the graphics are all image png files for race happ race angry etc and one where i turned the fils into bik files and put them in the mod movies file still crashed just prior to united planets meeting. It may be that it just crashed after a while and i'm making a big deal about a coincidental up thing. most recent debug is below. Debug Message: Version v1.50 Dark

There is no proof that he exists, there is some that he dosen't and of course there is the big study that the templeton foundation did that proved prayer was bad for peoples health. Faith is the dumbest thing i have ever heard of. It essentially means i will just stamp my feet and refused to beleive anything else. Depressingly making it the most important thing for demagouges to instill. Do what you what people but just don't question all the stuff that dosen't make sense. politic

If you cannot prove something then it is not true. Hence why we don't shoot people cause they might be criminals. There is no difference between final fantasy and the bible in terms of reality except that the bible is a better work of fiction. You can't subsitute one fantasy for the other and berate people for living in the one you like least.

DA crashes after auto save game in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Been playing DA recently in a modded version I've knocked up. Problem is that it seems to crash just after the auto save a lot. It has done random crashing while i played it in un-modded version buti can't remember if it was crashing at the same point. Dunno if this is a my machine playing up thing or a random bug but here is the debug. Can anyone offer an opinion?

Playing with the fairys or your imaginary friend is not productive either. I don't know what that is supposed to mean. It refers to your "I should do what god wants thing" You might as well sit at your computer and do what the Drengin emperor wants. It would make as much sense. Especially when your rant is about things that are not real. Why are people not allowed to cycle down and get a bit if escapeism? The UK and US have ma

Seems to work - Hurrah but DA crashes sporadically (yeah thats right nothing to do with my meddling) it's easy to swap stuff round with this game anywho.

Reply to Can not find galciv/mods folder...... in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hve you upgraded your game from stardock? early versions of the game did not seem to use the mods folder. You are correct that it should be in the directory you list although \defualt is the name of a mod you would go to options and pick the B5 mod then restart and it should work.

S I am shocked by how little you people know about the 40k universe while trying to make a mod. I have been playing warhammer for nearly 20 years, probably longer than most of you have been alive. Most of you have no clue what you are talking about. Big man, move out of your parents house, get a city centre job, cut the hair and get yourself a girlfriend and i don't mean a ginger vampire wannabe who like poetry and beleives in magic.

needs updating for DA scrub your book list and start with the gaunts ghost novels then cut to the soul drinker ones then read the ciphas cain ones then spent two weeks washing in holy water and reciting W40k is not real, i am impervious to the lure of chaos and tatto holy sigils on yourself. Then you can read the eisenhorn omnibus in one go. it is fantasic but you might start hearing a kind of scratching chittering noise just at the edge of sound.<br
