Well if it turns out he is, I knew it from the beggining, if he isn't, I'll laugh at all those who believed in that obvious joke But seriously I believe him... I noticed that slightly polish accent in Freemans Mind 32 hehe.

I have my opinion on that, but I don't think you're going to like it... 500 million - 1 billion... That's barely China............ And we still have very scarce lands like Africa, Arabia...

Except your analogy fails in that there are witnesses still alive from the holocaust, and nobody witnessed the changing of one species into another. I am afraid you are wrong, just think about genetically modifed food, swine, human made bees species... all different species from their originators.

In the case of Ukraine all I have to say is why didn't Stalin just go and marry hitler.... They're very alike. Sure, different moustaches, same evil shit. Shepherd, what do you think the maximum optimal human population of this earth can be? 40 Billion

Why not try Monaco then? The whole country has a population of 30.000 and people will understand your english better

My point of that post was that studies are inaccurate as hell, how many teens/tweens/children do you expect to find and actually care about this poll on the internet for example:

Well I think the guys translating know enough english so that they can translate the emphasis properly. Not many languages have the same phrase but every language has a similar phrase though. Like in English "I'm so dead" would be translated into a russian phrase with similar meaning, like "Мне капец" (Literally "me/I'm fucked")

Form an article about social gaming: If you think that those silly social games like Farmville and Mafia Wars are full of teenagers, you're only half right. The average player of social games is actually younger than previously believed, according to a new study, but a little older than teenage: 29 in the US and 27 in the EU. That's an interesting conclusion, especially since the average gamer is actually a little older than that (s/he was 30 a few years ago and has been getting steadily older since then), and most people believe that social gamers on Facebook tend to skew even older. This survey by GamesIndustry.com, however, goes against that grain, and claims that while there are more females playing these games than males, they tend to be younger than expected. Peter Warman of that site says that the reason for this is that most such surveys don't poll any lower than age 18: "It is therefore not at all surprising that their average age is extraordinarily high ... Data from kids and teens is vital and should always be taken into account." If these surveys aren't representing anyone below age 18, then it's possible gamers, especially those playing social games on Facebook and elsewhere, are even younger than anyone's guessed previously.

Also, it could have something to with the players nowadays, a great game will require some input from the player. For example not everyone can get into the civilization series, it requires one to be interested in the topic and be smart and understand the game fully and willing to learn about the strategy. Maybe most people nowadays are too lazy and just want to kill people in a game already ..... I mean before 2000 most PC gamers were adults, now on the average it's 12 year olds. It's the popularization of the computer that could've changed, we could be experiencing mainstream multiplayer take over of classical gaming. Almost feel like this belongs to my Pop Culture and it's effects thread.

If you can call the "Missions, killing russian bots" a decent Single player mode in Call of Duty..... well no, it's not, imo. It's more like an arcade game except it is much "better" graphics although much worse gameplay. Arcade games belong to Duke, Doom, Blood, those are excellently made with appropriate graphics, humour, secrets, music and lots of enemies. Don't try to make an arcade game into a serious, real-life situation single player with one type of smart enemy and modern graphics, it looks wrong. I believe that what is happening is that the single player campaign is being replaced by single player missions which are easier to make, although the big minority big companies do concentrate on multiplayer now, (mainly because EA releases 50 % of games and consists of 3000 programmers and no story maker ) . I've noticed there is two changes in the single player concentrating companies nowadays, it is either becoming 3rd view (WHICH IMO HAS AN UNREALISTIC FEEL TO IT AND A LOT OF THESE ALSO CONCENTRATE ON SOME CHECKPOINT/MISSIONARY MOVEMENT INSTEAD OF AN ACTUAL SINGLE PLAYER, SO PLEASE STOP DOING THIS COMPANIES!) or role-playing which just cannot replace a decent single player with campaigns (By this I mean Fallout, and even the character building parts of Stalker, just aren't nearly as good as half-life 1 even, I don't care about the skills I've chosen and the building of the character, I mean wth, I don't want to play life from the beggining, where the hell is the adventure, all I do is roam around a city most of the time, there is no suspense either, just countless hours wasted). I still haven't played Doom 3 to the end but that's the last game I've played which is decent single player along with Stalker and both got under rated by Call of Duty series/Halo as these two are under rating other games even now. So I'm either waiting for Id interactive and Valve or I'm playing my classic arcade games as I played hl1 over 50 times (for real) and I'm tired of the same story, and I just can't play that engine anymore as I saw some pretty bad flaw which is you can just jjump on the enemy and it will not respond (ruined my gameplay). Maybe I'll replay Half-life 2 for the 4th time again, replay addons and mods for Hl1, wait for other mods Hl2, and Hl1, Finish Doom3. But I do not have time for games anyways so I'm not too bothered right now. I will not play any other roleplaying or 3rd view bullshit, I do not have the time nor the interest. EDIT: About the missions gameplay, I'm not talking about Battlefield Single player, those are "battlefield" style and concentrate on tactics and don't need any story, they are pretty fun.

I don't like it because it is more or less copy paste and a lick of paint over it. They puke out a new CoD every year which are mostly the same but very few changes from the last one. I mean sure they added a few new things(CoD points, Theater and Custom emblems ect.), but those things are nothing new in the gaming world. And for the budget the developers receive they should be WAY more original, and implant things no one has done yet. I hate the fact that's its over-rated, not Call of Duty, not even the players but the fact that it's overrated. I feel like both the company and the players are somehow victims anyway.

I honestly believe that day will never be seen by us or even our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren... Probly even be worse for them... I doubt there will ever be 100% peace. But humans are getting smarter and smarter over time, and I hope that someday we will be smart enough to actually realize what the hell we are doing, and how it affects other people. We are already smart enough to realize what we're doing... We are just ignoring it. I mean USA knew the effect of nukes.. they knew civilians would die, they still did it. Japan knew they are on an island which is constantly hit by storms and earthquakes they still built m danerous nuclear reactors there. (Of course I'm not trying to blame them here but they had other options) That's why I say that there is something true in the phrase: intelligence is blinded by Will Here is some logical proofs by Schopenhauer: And a picture to think about:

What negative rep? I see a 0 in my rep slot... Now it's a 2

Oh yeah, I know that feeling, I got the same mark after being praised very much for the content and idea of my "On the subject of human races" paper... What the hell does it matter if I didn't put the citations in proper format! Good job though for putting that here!

When I say it's very awkward (for her) so I don't anymore but she knows I love her though.

I found the term: Nontheism is a term that covers a range of both religious[1] and nonreligious[2] attitudes characterized by the absence of — or the rejection of — theism or any belief in a personal god or gods

No I believe properly in greek it would be apolytheism. A doesn't mean lack of it means without in ancient greek. So atheism is actually "Belief without God" Actually, if "a" means 'without', then it's "without belief in god". A-theism. A, without. theism, belief in god. Actually, it would be "without belief in many gods". The suffiix "ism" is applied to "theos", not 'a'. Aismthe? That sounds weird in my mouth. Read last post, i said that I was mistaken and corrected it.

Side note: Apolytheism would be belief without many gods not belief without gods..... Plural word for God in greek is theoi but I wouldn't know how you would properly form the word: Atheoism??? Ah, it doesn't matter for now. Let's just call it belief in no gods.

Yes it is, it is wrong... Randy Katana - One Solid Wave (Sam Sharp Mix)

Do You mind if I ask why? Chew-Butt-Province.... English wording joke.

Actually I've lived in Canada (Hence my pretty good english).... I've found it.... horrible, completely the opposite of what I was used to, except that socialistic system, the very depressing atmosphere (No spring just winter and summer and rain) without any cultural memorials didn't help. Finally People I've met especially, aren't open-minded at all. Didn't agree with a lot laws, moved back to Ukraine. But that's me speaking and I lived only in Toronto, maybe I just hated the city.

@genaux Then, screw that, I'm staying in Ukraine where it's legal and the decision of the people not the government. If the UN tries to enforce that rule on everybody at the current time, good luck, I will fight for that freedom as I see that as forcing of rules by another country without agreement.

...where would you want to be born actually? Give some reasons and insights I was born in Ukraine but if I was born again I would still pick Ukraine , but then if I was born again I would love to be born in Sweden, love the law, european culture and nature there. I would be proud of the music of sweden, Ikea , Meatballs and foorball and video gaming competitiveness. Especially the youth culture is doing some crazy talented things there. And the history of Sweden is very interesting.

No I believe properly in greek it would be apolytheism. A doesn't mean lack of it means without in ancient greek. So atheism is actually "Belief without God" Apolytheism would be then "belief without gods"

Never mind my saying, leaving this topic, sometimes I will give reminders, Genaux, the topic of abortion was already answered by me pages ago, abortion is a cultural thing and if you want abortion to be legal, move to the Netherlands as an example, if you don't want abortion to be legal at all, move to Canada as an example. We will probably not agree on this topic universally and we shouldn't force anyone to, just like the topics of personal use of drugs, prostitution, gambling, legal minimum and maximum ages for rights, when you become an adult etc.... abortion belongs to this group of cultural decisions, it's not a United Nations Basic forced rule which should be followed everywhere.
