Those sorts of maps were featured in the action-RPG Nox (if anyone here played that), and leant itself to some rather distressing melees where your character was chased continuously by mimics. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

My black shadow man can beat your red ninja man. In other news, the Powerball jackpot is up to $340 million. Anyone who lives in the US and is old enough to play doing so? Do you think that participating in the lottery is worth a dollar? I would argue that even the miniscule chance of winning warrants the trouble of going to a shop and spending a buck on a ticket. It's all about the dream, really. [ Wednesday, October 19, 2005 05:53: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

That the monasteries unknowingly held on to the secrets of the classical era was more a fluke than anything else. The church cast civilization headlong into the abyss; it was only despite the church's intentions that civilization crawled back out. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

The ID debate is political grand-standing at its worst. I agree with Kel - there are practical reasons for teaching evolution that ID lacks. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

My wife is on call this week. Since the nature of being on-call for her involves putting out fires that might crop up for other people, she gets compensated at a rate of $200 for the first call, and $100 for each additional call, with a maximum of $500 per week. It keeps her in shoes, and also reduces the annoyance. Perhaps you should see about being compensated for on-call incidents. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Numbers four and six are about limiting the loss of life. Number five, however, would make you a killer, even if it was to save lives. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

1) What is your gender? Male 2) How religious would you say that you are: Not at all, somewhat, or very? Not at all. 3) Are you vegetarian or vegan? Neither. I loves me the bacon! 4) A trolley is running out of control down a track. In its path are 5 people who have been tied to the track. Fortunately, you can flip a switch that will lead the trolley down a different track. Unfortunately, there is a single person tied to that track. Should you flip the switch? Yes. 5) As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people. You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and you can stop it by dropping a heavy weight in front of it. As it happens, there is a very fat man next to you - your only way to stop the trolley is to push him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save five. Should you proceed? No. 6) As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people, all children under 10. You can divert its path by flipping a switch, but if you do, the trolley will continue down an alternate track towards five senior citizens. Do you flip the switch? Yes.

Last thing I ate was All Bran Buds in vanilla yogurt. This proves my devotion to Richard because of the Whiteness of the yogurt and the colon health-enhancing aspects of a high fiber diet, which Richard Doth Support. EDIT: While I was eating the ambrosia mentioned above, I was sporting a white bath towel around my loins. I think the proof of my devotion to Richard here goes without saying.

quote:Hmm. It still seems a bit hypocritical to me. If your immortal soul is going to be in the bosom of the Lord, how can you even wait to die? Death is objectively permanent. Given that, why should anyone other than ourselves have a right to say whether we can make such a decision when we choose? It seems to me that each of us has the most interest in how long we live. I believe that their are circumstances when death becomes a better choice than continuing to live. One of those circumstances is when someone is terminally ill and in constant, severe pain. When my grandfather was dying from about five different kinds of cancer, I couldn't help but wonder whether it would have been better for him to end it before it got really bad, when his liver was failing, and he lost everything that was important to him as a man - his strength, his ability to even move or eat or taste, his sight and hearing, and eventually his mind. Unfortunately for the guy, he had an amazing consititution, such that his body had him hanging on for two-thirds of a year - eight months of constant, mind-boggling pain and personal humiliation. If you had to face that, knowing you were going to die at the end of it, wouldn't you want to just go peacefully sooner? I remind you that Oregon's law was dubbed the "Death with Dignity Act" for a reason. If God is a forgiving God, I can't see how He would possibly not be merciful to someone making this decision. How can such a choice possibly come from sin? In all the time that the law has been in effect (maybe three years?), only a little over two-hundred people have availed themselves of it. People aren't dying in droves or "abusing" it. Frankly, I don't understand why the government is so opposed to this law.

It was actually the U.S. Justice Department under Ashcroft that brought the case. They lost at the trial and appellate levels, so now they're trying their luck in the Supreme Court. The case actually has more to do with federalism than anything else. Several years ago, the court heard a case and found that while there wasn't an inherent right to die in the Constitution, legislative bodies (Congress or individual state legislatures) were not prohibited from passing legislation regarding this issue. Oregon did, and now those conservative hypocrites (States' rights! States rights! Oh... wait a minute! Trump states' rights! Trump states' rights!) are twisting a part of the Controlled Substances Act (which was designed to go after abuse of drugs for recreation purposes) to try to overrrule Oregon's law. I believe that the Supreme Court will likely affirm the Court of Appeals decision - this is too gross a twisting of Congress' intent in drafting the CSA and too great a violation of states' rights. Frankly, I think that people should have this right. If you don't like the law, you don't have to use it. It's also a place where people should butt out of other peoples' business. The entire basis for a stance against this law is religious. Given that religion is a personal matter, not a state matter, what happens to an individual in the afterlife is their business. I respect religious folks' right to be crazy. They should respect others' rights to be "crazy" as well, and certainly not try to wield state and national power to get their way. That's authoritarian. EDIT: Also, for individuals with so firm a faith in an afterlife, they sure do fear death a lot. Something to think about.
