I, personally, see the PNG and GIF as being exactly the same. The color loss was handed well- was it Photoshop or PSP? -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

... This discussion has gone beyond stupid. I will outline Ben's claims as best I can, to see if he actually backs up his original point... Original claim: "Some music is good; other music is very degrading to someone's life. Especially if it's chalk full of cuss words." Your harm is that cussing is "degrading to someone's life" moreso than otherwise if it contains cuss words. "Cuss words are any word referring to some durragatory (sp?) concept or thing used in a degrading tone toward any other person or to God." (Derogatory) Alec has already answered your "God" claim but completely, and has also addressed the casuality of curse words with comparison to genuinely scathing barbs as well. You have yet to counter either such point. (PS- In this statement, you have also gone two-faced on your original statements. Is it just cuss words that are bad, or is it only cuss words directed at something?) "The separate instances, though of varying "severeness," are largely predefined by society as a whole. Basically, if I were to blurt out a word, you could tell me if it was a cuss word or not. Even if it doesn't seem so bad to you as an individual." As an aside, did you know that if you were relying on social contract theory, you would have to accept cursing, since most people really don't care? PS- You still haven't qualified your claim on a moral level. "Not only does the first person just seem like a better person, but you can tell that he's obviously less likely to go to jail, get in trouble at school, and upset people. Furthermore, these people can be interpreted as good, God-fearing people also. Truly, Christians are often stereotyped as good and gentle people, that is to say, just by talking to someone, you can generally tell if they're a Christian or not." Since you haven't apologized or attempted to qualify this statement at all, I may as well let you know WHY you're a pizzle-licking, gormless invertebrate: Christians™ don't go to jail (and are therefore better people?), Christians™ do better in school, Christians™ do not upset people (you'd think this mere example would make you a hypocrite already), Christians™ are gentle people, and Christians™ are identifiable based upon their mannerisms. I don't want to cry "Hitler" yet, but you make it tempting and also legitimate. "Falangist," on the other hand... (And I'll be doubly damned if you know what that is- not that I'm not doomed already under your ecclesial dominatrix already, but nevertheless.) ...oh yeah. You also forgot to qualify your "Mr. Mean" example. I guess you got caught up in bragging how much better your religion makes people. "I think cussing is just a bad habit to get into, and the kind of music a person listens to, especially developing people like children and teenagers, can affect their personality." For future reference, a sentence is supposed to be a complete thought, not two completely unrelated ones. "Excessive cussing in music fills the person's mind with constant cuss words, and because of that, they routinely cuss in regular speech. It's hard to quit once you have a problem with cussing, but like other addictive bad habits like drinking or smoking, quitting the cause can help you quit all together." Apart from the fact that you are MASSIVELY misgauging the effect of boogie-woogie music (for instance, have we forgotten that parents exist?), you still have yet to qualify your original claim. "It's very easy to frown upon and stop listening to what they have to say, however." So in other words, cuss words become a caveat to ignore whatever the person is saying? Good motherfucking job. "This is not to say that these words should be taken out of our language; I know people will continue to use them, but frequent use of such strong words as those in a vulgar way is not very appealing to all that have to listen to it every day." I like pink shirts, thus they are morally reprehensible. (Again with that not backing things up...) "Which are words commonly used to describe cuss words. And in most cases, they are vulgar and inappropriate." This does not explain anything on a moral level. "Eh, there's always other ways to express your emotions at the moment than cussing." Right. You could choose more severe ones, as Alec outlined... (And there's always other ways to express your emotions, no matter WHAT words you are using. What this statement actually MEANS is beyond me.) "And cussing can cause mental damage. I think that just the fact that someone is cussing therefore implies some level of mental damage. Then when they cuss, other people's heads get filled with cuss words, and they start to include cuss words into the way they think and eventually the way they talk. Cussing can be kind of contagious in the same way as things like smoking and drugs are stereotyped as "cool" in the minds of a few young people." Cussing is cool, which means it must be bad! Let's stop that whole "breathing" thing. Oh yeah, and going to school has become unGodly. PS- As Thuryl said before, find a medical journal and/or make sense to back up any or all psychological claims. "Oh, and just because I'm saying it doesn't mean it's totally wrong and not worth believing." Which was essentially what your previous point boiled down to, right? "Right, and personal beliefs ie. Christianity can have a lot to do with it too." One-sentence responses do not expound themselves. "Most Christians just see that cussing is a vulgar and a bad habit to have and it just generally goes against their life's standard of being a Christian person. Just because the Bible doesn't say doing some such thing is wrong, if it still seems wrong, true Christians will try to avoid doing it." Why, thank you, Benjamin S.J. I had no idea that you could make up things off of the top of your head and call them as important as biblical canon. (Not to insult the Jesuits or the Catholics- Romans usually tend to give concrete and well-founded reasons for their extrabiblical dogma, unlike YOU.) "It's just general that a Christian doesn't usually cuss and a non-Christian is more likely to pick it up." Again with that Falangism... "Being told about Christianity or just being excessively nice to by someone else can be rather uncomforting, especially on your conscience, but you know almost by instinct if what you're doing is right or wrong." Right. Because we're all born with essentially the same belief systems. "How do you stereotype Christians, then? ben-like Republicans? You'd have to agree that most Christians are not perverse or mean." Most Christians™ are also not like you, and are much more open and tolerating in their beliefs. Go figure. "In fact, the better you get to know God, the more your actions tend to take this direction." So the more people act the way you (read as: pappy and the board of education) tell people to be, the closer they become to God®? I think Franco has a necro-boner going. "I'm choosing not to reply fully to Alec's post, for the reasons that it was getting really long and whatever I say against him, he won't believe it." And I don't blame him. 'I believe this and so should you' simply doesn't hold water. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

BoE is great, don't get me wrong. Still, BoA offers SO MUCH more freedom in terms of design that I don't it's a halfway-reasonable choice in terms of flexibility. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Ya know, sticks only add 2.5 damage to your average attack... My question is- is magic allowed? If not, then how the heck is anyone supposed to beat up those magic-vulnerable serviles? This sounds less and less like "tactics" and more and more like "needing a girlfriend and/or blades of exile". -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

This scenario is for parties of levels -9 to 0. It will probably (but don't hold me to this) be sent out within nine months. It will be roughly the size of a dime, but that is shorter than it sounds. (There is only four or five brain cells, for instance.) If you're interested in testing, then please give me this information: Name (or what it says on your non-existant birth certificate): Email Address (needed so I can send you the red goop): Platform (Hanger/ Vaccuum / Amiga): Birthing Experience: Doctoral Experience: Are You Imban: (As a forewarning- if you did not appreciate the heavy-handed designing of Knife or Large Stick, this might not be the contraceptive for you.

Most of the apparent growth in real estate is middle-class incomes using the ultra-low interest rates to buy upper-class plots of land, racking up debts to subscribe to country clubs, get indoor pools and drive SUVs around. I wouldn't call real estate a good idea when Japan will likely own every golf course in the United States within fifty years. :P (PS- It would be murderously ironic if Japan decided to take Hawaii to balance the Current Account deficit.) -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

quote:Episode I is basically a long, drawn-out Battle of Endor. Cute little lizard men who are surprisingly similar to negroids battle anonymous faces of bland greed while perhaps the two most flippant Jedis in the galaxy chop things in half with almost as little motivation than is visible through their dialogue. A good half of the movie could be eliminated without harming the other half, which is mediocre at best- the true struggle of the film is the "rise of the dark side," but all we're given is sociopolitical snapshots which we're supposed to keep track of on our Star Wars chessboard. Meanwhile, the only cool character in the film, Darth Maul, who likely attains his status by being the only character to speak less than five lines, is nothing more than what the title indicates: a Phantom menace. The dark side is never really shown to be a threat at all, except for its getting Qui-Gon killed- which, admittedly, is the part of the flim where interest is raised. Other than that, you're left with "cute little kid gets really lucky multiple times," "cute negroid lizards get really lucky multiple times," and "irritatingly flippant warriors with quasi-British accents and half the wit of Bond get really lucky multiple times, but you should have never cared about them anyway". Battle of Endor for sixty plus minutes. A waste of my time and money. As for Attack of the Clones, it's basically much of the same, except with more Mace Windu, Yoda fighting with lightsabers, and geekboys jerking off to Padme. Again, no raison d'etre whatsoever. I have heard glowing reviews about Episode III. I plan on seeing it despite the first two. Still, it will have to be incredibly good to redeem the previous two "efforts". (Not that episodes 1 and 2 weren't efforts- just that they weren't efforts to all but the special effects tekkies.) -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
