Reply to What Upcoming Games Are You Looking Forward To? in Gaming Stardock Forums

1. Demigod (If you're looking forwards to it, it has to be good) 2. Mirror's Edge (Enough to break EA boycott?) 3. Shadowrun (Someone has to be doing it. Get it right. Matrix, Rigging, Running) Those are the games I'm looking forwards to. And the third probably will have to be small/unofficial. Who owns Shadowrun now? Contemplating getting some people together to make a remake of the old games. The SNES and Genesis ones. It'd flop, probably, but it would be awesome.

Is that such a bad thing? By personal attacks, I mean the "Rot in Hell", "worm", "moron", "rectum-for-brain" variety.

The First Secular Crusade- Part 1 in World War II JoeUser Forums

Cactoblasta said: "Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based on human and other natural values in the spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities. It is not theistic, and it does not accept supernatural views of reality." This is the statement of the Inte

[quote]No, he was no genius. He was a very charismatic and egotistical man. And a meglomaniac. But his waging of the war and his rantings indicate he was far from a genius. The problem with killing your detractors is that when you really need honest advice (and thank god he was not so blessed), you dont get it. Many times in the war, the allies were on the brink of defeat, and each time it was his ego that helped the allies, and eventually his downfall.[/quote] Well, yeah, he was insan

[quote]Seriously, there is a fundamental and - to most contributors - obvious difference between suffering a 'personal attack' and merely having your opinions, claims, logic, thought processes etc. called into question. You need to learn what this is, and not go scampering off shrieking hysterical charges of rule book violation each and every time your precious world view is challenged.[/quote] And I'm pretty sure rectum-for-brain sounds like a difference in opinion to everyone else.</

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I do not subscribe to the Church of Secular Humanism (just take the tax exemption, already), so this work is not technically "heretical", and it is filled with my bias, but you can try to prove me wrong. Introduction: Hitler subscribed to the teachings of Darwin in making his racist, hate-filled Third Reich which, at one point, threatened to take over the world and create a eugenics-fed super-planet. This man was

Eat the same, work the same, just cut back on 10% or 20%, kill extra stuff that you just get because it's offered (soft-drinks), change your schedule, and it works well.

Reply to Continuing in Fitness Mode in Diet Stardock Forums

I recommend taking a diet based on calories, and eating. Eat many small meals, and avoid eating just before bed (2 hours? 1?). This works for me. Though, I more work on eating an acceptable amount, regardless of caloric value (though I will if I can find it). I've lost four pounds in a week (though I put it back on, it worked!), and I've lost since then. It's probably not that healthy.

I do not think personal attacks have a place on JU. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I do not believe that personal attacks have a place on JoeUser. I feel that it is detrimental for the service of everyone if people cannot work past their differences, or take it elsewhere, assuming that the other party agrees. I have a place to go to attack me, so it's not necessary to ruin other people's days by making them read attacks here. If they care, they can go there. When you attack somebody on JU, not only do you violate the Terms of Service (which you did read, didn't you?

[quote]Sorry, you still haven't explained to me where in the passage from Paul there is that option. There is nothing in there about 'Assuming that it does not violate God's Law'.[/quote] In Jewish Law, at that date, there were many laws just assumed by the Pharisees to gain some sense of holier-than-thou power for themselves. Therefore, it was unwise to make a statement there since the actual knowledge of God's Law was repressed. However, if you study God's Law, there is no
