You are talking about teleports. I'm going to expand on this answer later but so far the problem is The whole statement collapses there.

I've read in a russian journal, there's a seperate catastrophe event "almost end of the world" every year beggining with 2012 for some reason and ending somewhere in 2030's when apparently the last things of this world will be destroyed, (Long after humans got destroyed) Catastrophes including: Last piece of oil, Nuclear Apocalypse, Soul apocalypse... etc. I will have to find the article in english. Then there was apparently one in 2006, 2002, 1999/2000, 1996.

It's disabled because the bots were abusing it. That's what she said!

In any case it must be a constant (Very High likelyhood that at least one thing in this universe is constant if there is inconsistency, like Anti-matter and matter). And I think it moves is more likely then it doesn't because time must have some kind of energy. And Energy is connected to movement. Unless you think time has 0 energy, that could somehow make sense if time is illusional and doesn't exist but which do you prefer....

No, that would also be illogical.

Rephrase please, or make a graph, I got mind raped. Try to understand my opinion, I think that the farther something is away from you, the more in the past the vision is. I can assume by my logic as far as the assumption that time is the fastest thing in the world and the norm if anything is faster then time then it is probably something from another world (A confusing statement, I know). You can notice that with a star the best. When we see a star dying, we know it really died a long time ago. But the effect of it will not reach us untill the future. Here's my vague thoughts... I'm not a physics expert but I can see logic in some things. EDIT: Convert light waves to radio waves, message waves and you see why it's not going to work in my opinion. Although I didn't really understand what you meant

Well, I complain when I personally feel some one is not doing things right/well, I prefer standing up to my principles than being silent. . . Of course it would be preferable if Valve heard my voice directly but I am not so much criticizing Valve directly as I am criticizing the mindset displayed by a few individuals. Whether Valve's long, active secrecy around one of the biggest series in gaming is a good or a bad marketing strategy is a matter of opinion. Personally I am patient and will wait as long as it takes but I simply try to explain why I feel people have the right to criticize Valve's strategy. Saying things like "Man up" with little else doesn't advance the discussion. Hey Bjossi, I had nothing against that, in fact I respect you for that, just have a funny sight in my mind. If you haven't noticed, I criticize a lot too, just didn't bother criticizing games. And I have a similar idea of good games as you do. Yet again, I believe in Valve and that they will bring a game that stands up to its potential. I will also wait on the game.

Assuming nobody wants to work in a coal mine. Not much of an Adam Smith supporter, are you?

Hey look at this, after 2 weeks or so my philosophy that you won't agree due to moral reasoning stands true.

You have to understand that the vast majority of modern American parents are mentally incapable of believing that their children are anythying other than perfect little angels, no matter the evidence presented to them. We are talking about people who will deny VIDEOTAPE. "Your 15-year-old beat up six first-graders." "Nuh-uh." "We have the entire incident on video, his face is clearly visible." "Wasn't him. Those kids must have done something to provoke him." Want to watch the video again? They're playing hopscotch, he just wades in and starts swinging." Well, they shouldn't'a been in his way!" "Parenting" went out of fashion some time in the late 1960's, now its much more popular to be your kid's "buddy" or "supporter," no matter what they do. I blame a bunch of bad books by a bunch of crap psychologists. And hippies. All of that is proof of different moral reasoning in different cultures. Hippies lol, good thing the Soviets never had to put up with those assholes, lol, I imagine we would be bankrupt much earlier. Not to mention the mafia... The last thing that I want to write is that, I thought he was from New Zealand... as it says in his description. Our parents bully our children.........

In some weird way, you entertain me. Likewise. Personally, I think I'm entertaining for the same reason a Godzilla movie is entertaining... sometimes, you just want to see a giant lizard randomly appear and smash things. *Shrug* Opinions are what they are. Attempting to change them is usually futile. Consider this: In those Godzilla movies I just spoke of, King Ghidorah (the really bad monster with three heads) is never defeated by fluffy bunnies. It is always left up to Godzilla to kick his ass. There is a lesson here. Well that's proof for different moral reasoning right there. You think it's right to kill a family member due to another criminal family member. I don't. Scary conclusion? Yes. Are we cool though? (As long as you stay out of my lawn ) Yes.

Guess what Michael, I understand perfectly what you are saying. You got better at defining what capitalism is, it is now much closer to the true termin of capitalism. I prefer democracy much to the republic and I know the differences perfectly. Go ahead and think what you oughta think. One question just so my prediction comes true? You fascist in any way, Michael? Agree to disagree and stay out of my lawn (Europe).

A game I could not care less about. The complaining is very legit, considering Valve's four years of silence. We do not even know if they actually started working on the next Half-Life instalment, be it an episode or a full sequel. We can wait two more years, then the time between Half-Life 1 and 2 has passed. Lol, Bjossi, I understand the Portal series are first person puzzle and not really on Half-life level but you seem to be this cranky character complaining about everything

Considering that is a sin.

Men can actually breastfeed. And that, kids, is the reason I did not reply to that question. EDIT: Oh... I hope I don't get banned from Alyxx *Fingers Crossed*

You are correct. I should have done that, my apologies. I've heard this before and I think I saw you mention it in the evolution creationism thread as well. Social Darwinism is pure pseudo-science. A deliberate twisting and mangling and misrepresentation of evolution and natural selection to justify pre-existing racial intolerance and hatred. Just like the KKK is pseudo-christianity. However, religious commandments to order the death of certain individuals, such as non believers or homosexuals, or people who gather sticks on the sabbath, can be quoted ad verbatim. Though sometimes maybe out of context, but in general the bible torah and koran are pretty explicit on who should die, and why. A religious commandment issued by a supreme being who is perceived by those who seek to carry out the commandment as infallible and righteous can not be questioned at any time by those who accept the deity's position as supreme moral arbiter. Thus, my point, acceptance by an individual of a deity's supreme authority on the question of morality can lead to that individual carrying out inherently immoral acts, but perceive those very acts as morally righteous. After sitting here for a while I realize that Social Darwinism is in fact similar, the nazis believed that slaughtering millions of people was not morally objectionable in accordance with their ideology. Though Social Darwinism could be easily argued against, it was inherently dishonest and deceitful, and has largely died out. I think we can both agree that our wider problem then is with the vigorous and blind pursuit of an ideology, which can lead to disastrous results. But I will have to reiterate that when it comes to religious scriptures there are some pretty explicit commandments in all 3 major holy books which are by todays standards down right evil. And it's up to people to develop a moral compass independent from their religion in order to decide which commandments to follow and which ones to ignore. And with that I rest my case for the evening. Have a good night then Concentrate on the fact that natural selection didn't even have anything written about killing or murder of other people and it certainly didn't write anything about how should someone live. And yet some types of Fascism and Naziism were more evil and worse then any religious actions done in the world (Not that it means religion is any better then any other ideology) I'll let you think about it, I think you will come to the same conclusion as me eventually. In fact, read my older posts on this thread, you may find that I already wrote further then what you did but in similar context.

Man, I can't kill that many people now... screw it.

Why is is far fetched and problematic? Watch this video: It's pretty simple if you understand basic biology. That video is clearly problematic with too many illogical assumptions. That is how a scientist would comment on it. I just think think it's too broad and wild for me to accept that argument.

Hohoho, looks like someone's philosophy was right!!! I knew it.

Ok, so you are specifically talking about the three main monotheist religions. Sure, next time say exatcly that, as this is a religion in general thread. Now to the stoning and Haven't you heard fascism originated from the misused natural selection. Naziism then developed fascism? Karl Marx's and Engels (Everybody forgets Engels , and he was the one getting things doen too!) communist theory was misused for North Korea's despotism. Both theories rejected religion specifically and still they got misused. Especially Karl Marx's theory who stated that you will work 1 hour in a day and enjoy the rest of the day in a perfect communist state through the extermination of corruption. Everyone should participate in the community, and the poor shall become equals. Children are the future... etc etc I don't see that happening in North Korea.

Well, I'm not a psychologist, other than having taken a course some time and being interested in some of the psychology experiments, I'm more interested in the bigger questions rather than an observation how the mind works. As far as philosphers rarely dying atheists. I don't know. It seems like their life drove them to some kind of theism/spiritism in the end. But even philosophy relies on a fundamental principle: logic. If the world is illogical then we are all wrong. As Aristotle said that there is going to be eventually a small particle that is undivisible which he could in no way prove. It is still not proven but we can logically assume it is a very probable philosophy. The philosopher himself may consider everything to be said from him true as in being true/right in philosophy is different then right and wrong in real life. In philosophy right and worng is defined by your philosophy and not through universal meaning. Consider the Ontological argument by Rene Descartes. You challenge every question you have, from "Am I real?" to "Could Quantum Physics really be logically possible?". You reform the answer when you learn something new in your philosophy until you die. Those that die challenging more questions, die smarter/wiser. The most important question "How should I think, how should I get knowledge" is the first question you should ask yourself as a true phiolosopher. With all that said, as you can see, philosophers can be very different, but they all share one thing. They all love wisdom and thinking. Usually people live ignoring these questions and live a follow model, learning the way they see others learn in their community. Born in a christian community, they will be christian and learn the christian way. Born in another community, they will learn like that community. Raised by atheist parents, they themselves will be either atheists or the opposite (rebellion, not through questioning) without really questioning. Of course that's not to say they don't question at all. But they don't question fundamental/presumed things and if the foundation of your thinking is wrong then your whole house of knowledge you are building will collapse. EDIT: I just found out that FM 34 was made before machinima released FM 33. That is also an example of philosophy. Judging by the rate ross was going and how many days it takes for machinima to upload plus effects of popularity and other logical thinking, I predicted in the very beggining of 33 being finished that 34 is going to be finished before machinima uploads 33. Well now, a week later, it's proven scientifically. Other philosophers would predict based on what they think, those that didn't predict at all were not philosophers. This is generally how it works in real life too except instead of a week it takes a lot more time

I stick to my statement that the whole thing could've been avoided at least with three options. Without school having to do anything.

Incorrect statement. Inductive reasoning. Assuming all monotheists accept god as a supreme arbiter of morality because you only know of that kind of people. There is more then three monotheistic religions. Well, I already said that there is more religions than just this that are monotheistic. I try to be as clear as possible, that's why I write in short sentences and use terminology to the fullest. No, if you believe in God/Gods and at least one other person agrees with your point of view and you study and teach what you believe in then you are participating in a religion. Abductive reasoning (You narrowed it down to only religious commandments while in reality it could be any info in the world making relious commandments specifically look bad) Showing some wisdom there. I hope I did PS: Congrats to Alyxx for becomnig mod!

I would play assasins creed if it was in first person. I really hate it when good stories get turned into unrealistic 3rd person feeling.

I disagree with the whole post. EDIT: More specifically. Inductive Reasoning. I disagree + Logical fallacy. By the way, it turns out my educated guess is turning true in the "bullying" thread. Remember..
