That is, before slavery in the USA became REALLY race-based. Look it up. So what you're saying is, there were african slave-owners, but it was entirely irrelevant to race, making it entirely irrelevant to any literature about racism. quote: Originally written by Thralni, The flying Dutchmen: So? care to explain why it is so "crucial" that you play the right race? let him play as a Nephil if he wants! jezus Bok, are you his father or something?

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Friday, February 17 2006 22:00 Profile Homepage #33 quote: Originally written by ben12C8: ..."liberal" refers to those who want to change it. Not true. It's referred to as such because liberals at the time of their inception (ie, the enlightenment) wanted change, but what non-conservative groups haven't wanted that? You could, in the same way, say that romanticists or postmodernists are defined exclusively by change. And, I suppose, that's useful when you want to quantify such movements dialectically, but that doesn't serve you at all, serve anyone in the context of liberalism, or appreciate what liberalism implies historically and logically. PS- I can see why it'd be easy for you to make an argument like that. Since most of us are "free-world" (more accurately described as "first-world") residing internet-users, we're inclined far moreso than most to enjoy the status quo, and the implication that the Eagles are going to change all of this makes the Steelers that much more tantalizing. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00
"The End of Blades" Discussion in Blades of Avernum
The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Friday, February 17 2006 21:44 Profile Homepage #38 Furthermore, two things: 1. Those of us who have been in the community for over 5 years (this is how long Creator has been in it, I believe) have a better perspective than most. When we say things like "the community is incredibly slow" or "people have no sense of organization," it ain't just blowing smoke. It's a crisis that aught to be addressed. 2. Meaningless rhetoric is meaningless. This is not the same as good ideas- for instance, if you have a suggestion on how to improve the rate of design or how to make it an easier process or something we haven't thought of, that's awesome. But if your ultimate conclusion is "make more scenarios," then your statement is vacuous. You may as well say that the solution to ending poverty is for the poor to have more money. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Friday, February 17 2006 21:39 Profile Homepage #6 How can you ignore the time period when the scenario takes place in a crucial portion of Imperial history? That's like saying that Schindler's List could have taken place during the Civil Rights Movement. (Furthermore, no sliths or nephils have been rich on the surface ever. That'd be like making the slave-owner in Roots an african-american.) The scenario explicitly states that it is for humans only, and that the user can change the graphics if s/he so chooses. "You take your sister shopping" isn't a scenario that demands a certain race. "You are soldiers sent out to subdue a race rebelling against your oppression" is. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Thursday, February 16 2006 22:42 Profile Homepage #20 So wait- what's liberalism, but a belief in a society which respects all individuals' common rights above all else? The result of that is capitalism, which has created the same sort of aristocracy that conservatism has taken the chalice in defending. Conservatism admittedly is a lot more harsh on freedoms than liberalism would appear to be, but on the other hand, conservatives constantly phrase their oppression in liberalistic language. It's all to defend America's right to property. Locke himself couldn't make a society more barbaric and intolerable. Plus, the vast majority of oldbies cannot be classified as being "liberal." I am not alone in the belief that freedom is massively overrated. It's required, maybe, but will never be a value unto itself. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Thursday, February 16 2006 21:43 Profile Homepage #28 quote: Originally written by Arancaytar the Grey: Uttered motivational, optimistic phrases. Aran's right. The more all of you try to defeat this notion by talking, you prove it. All we're suggesting for right now is open-sourcing BoE. And hell- even if we don't open source it, I'm willing to start pirating it like hotcakes. It's just that all other ideas are exhausted, and putting BoE out there as a penultimate demonstration AND a more feasible designing platform is a good idea at this point. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Wednesday, February 15 2006 21:41 Profile Homepage #60 quote: Originally written by Thuryl: When we say, for example, "A unicorn has one horn", there is a sense in which what we say is obviously false, since unicorns don't exist. But there is also a sense in which what we say is obviously true, since by definition a unicorn has one horn. Semantics. When we say "unicorn," it's also understood by the definition of a unicorn that it doesn't exist. Given that, the sentence "A unicorn has one horn" isn't obviously false anymore. (Furthermore, if you want to interpret the sentence as a universal generalization, it becomes true anyway even without the semantics I'm talking about.) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00
