Because he wanted to, that's why. As long as the multiple accounts aren't used for malevolent purposes (i.e.: attempting to dodge bans/cannings, personal attacks), what's the harm?

Or, heck, just have more weapons that drip poison like the Alien Blade. Or, for that matter, bring back item augmentation like in A3.

Of course, the idea of dual-wielding with one acid dagger and one poison dagger is too appealing to rule out. :D

Are we not using [deleted] COMPUTERS? Or did you [new-agers] PRAY the internet into existence with CRYSTAL POWERS?

The next time you get a disease, do all of us a favor and doubt empiricism [for a while].

Well pardon me. It just came across as blatantly ignorant.

If you want to attack someone's rhetoric, it helps to not lower yourself beneath their level.

EDIT: Typo.

Can I just point out that this is the biggest piece of intellectual elitism I've seen in a long time? You're freakin' insane, man. Don't dump on science and scientists unless you're willing to step back and look at how hateful you're being.

You need to try associating with people who aren't from your little college town. It might broaden your perspective a bit.

If this were at Shadow Vale, I'd have put a longer tirade here. But yeah... I really have no respect for you now, dude.

So what's your solution: no dominant religion, or your religion as the dominant religion? Do you dare to deny that you believe the world would be better off if there were more people like you?
I wholeheartedly agree with this, and I feel like I tried (and failed) to say it before.

Not I. Think: How quickly would it die the death of UBB? Also: Does anyone really want to dig through two months of topics to resurrect the one and only milestone topic when you've got a bunch of numeric images just waiting to be posted?

The sun's effect on our atmosphere is cooling down; the sun cannot be responsible for warming. Because it's not warming. :P

Global Warming & Solar Variation

...this should pretty well end the discussion.
And for those of you who detest Wikipedia links, try the articles that are referenced.

Yes, I know. But I had fun, and that's all that matters. :P

But honestly, I still have a problem with using that as a defense in a serious debate. It's just misleading, because either side can sling that one at their opponents, regardless of topic and positions. Really it just discredits the entire discussion, because it's equally valid when applied to any argument.

I chose gallery, because I have a somewhat long-standing grudge against the value of the "art" in museums. When I see some medieval piece of silverware in a display case, I can't stop myself from thinking "why isn't somebody using this?", even though I still appreciate its appearance.

And as for those museums that charge for admission, well... they are beneath my contempt. If you really have to hoard all that "art" to begin with, where do you get off charging people just so they can see it? That said, I feel lucky to live in St. Louis, where our art museum (in fact, most of our museums) is free to all. That eases a bit of the sting.

Heck, I almost wish there was some way to equally distribute the "art" among everyone. Just about everyone could use a bit more beauty in their lives.

... </tangent>

Anyway. I think there's also something odd about who gets recognized as a "good" artist. I mean, to the untrained eye (a group which includes a vast majority of the population anyway), so-called mediocre art is indistinguishable from what I'll call museum caliber art. I look at the stuff created by my friends who are art students, and I think it's just as worth the museum time as anything else.

I wholeheartedly agree that it's mostly framing that sets up this whole situation to begin with. I wish there was a way to disrupt that framing, if only for a second.
