Direct representative democracy is an oxymoron. Direct democracy requires the people to hold power. Indirect democracy, which includes representative democracy, is a system in which the people invest sovereignty in a body of elected representatives.
Absolutely true. Which is why I used the term Direct Representative Election. Basically, an Indirect Democracy system where you directly elect the officials.

Well, that and a desire to keep from getting sniped. I happen to know several people that wouldn't mind sniping a dictator.

I can invent items for the Exile series (mainly Exile 2). It just takes the right level of 1337|\|3$$. I'm not sure if I can discuss it here without getting banned or canned, so I won't go any further into it here (unless a mod happens to dictate that it's okay, better safe than sorry).

Eldibs, what you described is indirect democracy. Direct democracy is everyone voting on all legislation, which as Stareye says has problems. It would also be a logistical mess and require way too much time and knowledge even from those interested and capable.
I've always heard what I described called a Direct Democracy. How about this term: Direct Representaive Election?
It would be a logistical nightmare, but if they could make it work, it would be way better. That way Presidents and such have to impress the people, not make friends with the electoral college.

Second, capitalism inherently restricts freedoms. Those with money and influence dictate to those without such resources. If those without refuse to be dictated to, they starve.
If those without starve to death, then so will those have have plenty. The wealthy need the poor to work for them to keep food on their tables. If the poor all starve, nobody is there to run the factories, clean the toilets, flip the burgers, etc. Also, nobody is there to buy the burgers, use the toilets, or whatever. In short, businesses would fail, the rich would become poor, and then they would starve, having been catered to all their lives.

Absolutely true. However, sometimes it's very difficult to handle something on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes, you have to pick what will do the most good, and go with it.

I don't know if it's because I'm an American, or because I'm human, but if my family is hungry, or in need of anything, they come first. If my father, brothers, or whatever are going hungry, I don't really care about anyone else. Sure, it's not other people's fault that they're going hungry, but I've got other things to worry about. Namely, the survival of my family tree first and foremost.

That wmight be nice, but it would never happen. See the "human nature" comment above.

Regardless of how good it would be for society, people in general, or the planet, Communism still has increased restrictions on freedom when compared to Democracy and Capitalism, and restricting freedom is something I would never stand for. Nobody has the right to run another person's life in any way, with the exception of the "imminent danger" rule. If someone decides they want to trade products or services for some sort of currency unit, that's their right. That kinda goes hand-in-hand with the whole "free will" thing.

IMHO, a utopian society would be run by a Direct Democracy/Capitalist Government, with maximum freedoms. Actually, it wouldn't be entirely utopian, because if everything in life is guaranteed perfect, life gets boring. The ups and downs of life make it interesting.

It's mostly stuff I've heard and read in the past. Do you have any scientific studies to prove otherwise?

Anyways, I actually do know a child molester (he's dating my mother, she's the only one that doesn't hate him). He spent some time in jail for it, and I keep my pocketknife handy at all times around him, because he also happens to be a violent person. It takes very little to get him violent, but he has only done (--ommitted so I don't have to wash my hands and/or get banned--) once or twice in the past.

This is a very complex issue. I'll try to make as much sense as possible.

Child porn doesn't "inspire" sickos, it "triggers" them. It's something that's always there in a sicko, even if they don't notice it. Sometimes, the person can go on functioning like a normal person without ever doing anything disgusting, much like a bomb without a detonator. The "bomb" won't go off on it's own, it has to have something to trigger it. Things like violent videogames might "inspire" violence in real life, but likely, if you get inspired by a game to commit violence, you have already committed a violent act, or will commit one.

Violent sickos are like a crate of dynamite next to a fire. The slightest nudge in the wrong direction will set them off, and are probably going to commit a crime eventually. Child molesters are like a brick of C4 without a detonator. It takes something specific to set them off, and without that, there's a chance they can go on normally.

So therefore, child porn should be banned whether it is real or fake, because that's what sets off the sickos, and things depicting other crimes (like homicide) shouldn't be banned becuase those kinds of criminals are likely going to commit crimes anyways.

quote:
They will distort the values they represent.
Actually, I find they will more often distort the facts to support the values they represent.

quote:
but may be more likely to be able to go out and actually kill someone
You would probably have to have some sort of other mental problem to be affected that way by violent videogames. I've read that violent videogames can make you less likely to commit a crime (blow up people in videogames --> relieve anger --> less stress --> less likely to commit a violent crime).

It's not that it's easily penetrated by malware (which may or may not be true, I don't know), it's that almost everybody who writes malware writes it for Windows. If Linux was the most popular, then most malware would be written for it.

Actually, since Linux is open-source, it would probably be easier to write malware for it, since you would be able to see all the security flaws, and because the average user wouldn't be improving their security code.

Of course. I'm not sure how one could argue the latter isn't better, since it doesn't involve the actual abuse of a child.
It's still very wrong. Watching animated porno with children would likely cause a potential child molester to become one, or it may cause them to start watching real child porn, contributing to the abuse. Either way, both forms should be eliminated (gee, thanks a lot Supreme Court, you just added to the problem).

So to you, what's depicted is more important than what actually happened? How interesting. I guess you also think that every actor who's played a murderer in a movie should be given a long term of imprisonment, then.
No. The key word in that sentence is Actor. Nobody really got killed. Now if there was a video of an actual murder, then the person in the video should be imprisoned.

In (legal) porno, it depicts consenting adults, doing things of their own free will (hence the word 'consenting'). If the people are consenting and of legal age, then to me it's no different than an animated porno. Nobody is being forced to do something they don't want to. They put themselves in that situation. Besides, are you saying that since watching porno with children is bad, that watching porno with animated children is any better?

I've heard of movies like that. They take a perfectly horrible plot, spend $35 making the movie, then throw in a bunch of porn to make sure that the maximum possible number of men watch their movie.

quote:
and that's degrading to the people involved
Not really. If they didn't like it, then they shouldn't have opted to be in the porno. If they were forced into it, then the producers of the porno should be arrested and/or shot, and all known copies of the porno deleted/destroyed.

Why would you watch a porno if it's degrading to you?

That's still approximately $280 for just the domain, which is fairly expensive for a joke. The most I've ever spent on a joke was $50, and it helped spite someone I really hate, and I got 25 fish sandwiches out of it.

Like I said, does it really matter? The site is there, and it points out the many flaws of anime. Does it matter whether it's a joke or not?

Well, no. Considering that unlike ordinary porn, hentai doesn't involve any real sexual acts on the part of real actors, I'm going to have to disagree with you here.
It still depicts sexual acts between humans, and it depicts more disgusting sexual acts.

Personally, I find it all to be a moot point, as I simply use the site to get anime fans to calm down about the topic (i.e. stop foaming at the mouth about anime, and yes, I know someone completely obsessed with anime). I don't really care whether it's a joke or not. It serves my purposes well.

What leads you to that conclusion?

Regardless of whether or not he likes anime, his assertions on the stupidity of anime are very well thought-out.

That's nothing. I had an account from Runescape Classic that sat from the beginning of my freshman year of high school, all the way until I got out of school, and nothing happened to it.

It's good to have your crafting skill high. When you get into the Crafting Guild, you can mine lots of gold easily to raise your mining level. Plus, hardly anybody is ever in there.

IIRC, there are water fountains hidden in Exile 2 that can boost your health and energy to above 200 and 99 for a short period of time, though it probably wears off after gaining a level too.

No, they are all called John Doe. I figured it would be better to not have my friends names floating around the 'net, so I changed the names to John Doe. Also, that's not my fighter, that's my archer.

I still have no clue what the level cap is for the Exile series.

I just loaded my Exile 2 save game to find that all of my characters are over level 50, one even in the 70-79 range. Apparently, levels aren't capped at 50.

I'll host the savegame and a screenshot momentarily, for proof.

Note that none of the nefariousness committed upon the savegame had to do with character stats.
