Hey, just noticed that the appearances page is now poulated with data. And the reviews...still blank. My guess is its filling up with pans and those are being discouraged from being posted. Well, the story does suck :) (for you Nioca ;) ) so its no wonder. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

Andraste, It started snowing here too. Just in time for Halloween, enought to bury a body under (hopes it won't be mine as I didn't buy the lovely wife any flowers ;) ). Nioca, sorry for leaving the smiley face off my post (indicate humor). Another one of my bad habits I suppose. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

Hmm. Interesting that some people chose furry rat cousins, the bringer of the plague. A pox on all you hairy rat lovers. And cats?

Gaaah. All that swearing is offending me. This is an offense to all that is good, right and decent in the world. You know, we are taught that dirty thoughts are bad. You hint at dirty thoughts, taking our mind to those (unnatural) proclivities. We commint first in our mind, then in our bodies. You are bad. I must go wsh now. I fear this topic may cause me to post more than I would wish. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

Alignment: Lawful Good characters are the epitome of all that is just and good. They believe in order and governments that work for the benefit of all, and generally do not mind doing direct work to further their beliefs. Race: Halflings are short and fat, like minuature people. (Think 'Hobbits') They enjoy the easy life, but aren't averse to the idea of an adventure from time to time. They get along with all races, and are known for their senses of humor. Halflings also tend to be light of foot, and can move quietly when necessary. Primary Class: Paladins are the Holy Warriors. They have been chosen by a God/dess to be their representative on Earth, and must follow the code of that deity, or risk severe penalties. They tend towards being righteous, but not generally to excess. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

Eat meat. Eat meat. Eat meat. There is no challenge to hunting down a wild carrot in its natural habitat. None whatsoever. Its not even as difficult as hunting bear, because there you have to go through all the effort of setting up a bait station, then sitting 50m away, quietly, without a smoke, for some time before pulling the trigger and you have such a small spot to aim at. The hardest part with a carrot hunt is choosing an appropriate pull that won't break the top off and leave the root in the ground. Eat meat. Eat meat. Eat meat. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things." "You Spiderwebbians are mad, mad, mad as March hares."

Oscar: quote:Wrong, murder has a number of reasons attached to it. see dictionary.com, reproduced below –noun 1. Law. the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder). note that it requires the killing of another human AND intent Ty: quote:Plausible reason. Without dealing with hunger in some fashion death may result to the individual. Are there other choices? Oscar: quote:Yes, but so what. I prefer a partial meat diet over an all vegetable diet and I have yet to see a cogent argument to persuade me otherwise. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

I vote change the law. The intent of the law is to allow proper functioning of government and planning of societal development. Things like highways, nature preserves, derelict structures that affect groups rather than individuals. However, that intent can be warped to allow one's private interests to be advanced vis a vis other private interests in the name of profit. This is not good. 1st post on topic. 1st for me. Woo hoo. Note these are spammed thoughts with little intellectual thought and less clarity of organization. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

Really, I prefer just about any other role playing game to the dreck that is shovelled out the door at Spiderweb :mad: Save your money and buy a real product from a real company like Grand Theft Auto or Bully from Rockstar Games Ha Ha just kidding around ;) Thought I'd give a different perspective. For plot, storyline and "intellectual" interest n/t beats a good spideyplot.

Oh, I forgot my current fave movie Wendigo. See here: Wendigo. essentially looks like a guy strapped some elk antlers to his head and ran through the trees on stilts. There is also that all-time great Boa vs. Python. Two overly large snakes crawling around and eating things in unbelievable fashion. And favorite actor? Why Dean Cain of course. He has created some real stinkers and it is hilarious to watch his B movies and hear him swear every second word, such a career chang from Superman. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

quote:If you define morality as the problem solving activities of a moral community, and let sanctions be used to directly reduce conflict as well as a control over perceived causes of conflict, and then you use morality to define and and control other deviances judged to be antisocial you are setting up a system to manage conflict (a parallel would be the legal system, our laws define our societies morals). Morality likely also dealt with issues of group self-conception and communication between individuals. Managing conflict is an activity not exclusive to humans. There is evidence that various primates (monkeys and apes) employ deliberate techniques to interfere in conflicts so as to terminate them. So, morality may have developed as a group control to manage conflict. Evolution of morality caused it to become a sanctioning force over other deviant behaviour (as defined by the group - swearing for example) and possibly even over the ultimate expression of power of an individual over another (control over leader behaviour - an example might be religious proscritions that inhibit a spiritual advisor from acting in certain fashions). Given the above, an individually created morality which is deemed injurious to the group, by the group, would be deemed immoral. The same morality, where not in conflict with the group morality could be tolerated/ignored. In this sense, your morality is applied to your group (of one individual) and is being (internally) controlled to reduce conflict between yourself and the world in which you are participating. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

quote:I take issue with stating that religious explanations must be irrational AND with stating "random whims of a God..." With reference to the first point, logic is simply correct reasoningn nothing more or less. A person is logical when he/she reasons correctly. Being “illogical” amounts to engaging in incorrect reasoning. The bible documents many cases where Jesus or other early Christian writers used thought and logic to argue their cases in a rational discourse. For instance, he used logic to argue with Satan in Matthew 4:1-11, to provide reason why he should resist Satan's temptations (this is also evidence of a God that does not act on capricious whims but is likewise engaged in a rational interaction with the human world). Similarly, Jesus debated the Pharisees and other spiritual leaders (being at that time the educated elite as well)concerning taxes (pay to Caesar what is his due - Matthew 22:15-22), healing on the sabbath (Mark 3:1-6), concerning marriage - Matthew 22:23-33) and the list goes on. These debates reveal a logical, structured mind interested in rational defense of various positions. Throughout the book of Acts Paul/Saul is variously described as "reasoned", "explaining and demonstrating", “explaining and demonstrating”. It is important to biblical writers to emphasize logic and reasoning, the use of sound doctrine is continuously reinforced and therefore shows that reasoning, logic and the use of the human mind are important elements to a Christian beliefe systems. One is allowed/nay encouraged to question Christianity using rational arguments. Post Jesus' death early Christian intellects continued to consider issues of logic and the laws of metaphysics when expounding doctrine. An example of this would be the development of religious theory to support the doctrine of the Trinity (God three in one). It is accepted that if God created the world, then he also created ationality and that this must play a role in development of sound theologic doctrines.logic and metaphysical categories. Whether or not one accepts a religion as "real" is separate from whether or not a religion can defend its doctrines a reasoned, logical manner and whether or not those doctrines can stand up to scientific testing. Consider relions as a scientific theory if you will. Consider doctrine as a series of if-then statements. Chrisitianity is rational and practical in its defense of cause and effect and in support of its doctrine. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

quote:Ignoring for a moment Kel's consideration that certain elements may no longer for the base of learning and accepting that at one time a piece of knowledge was "learned" it is not disquieting for me to meet someone who can no longer express understanding of it. I accept that a piece of knowledge can at one point be proven to be true to the satisfaction of an individual. However, if that individual has no cause to interact with that knowledge regularly it is conceivable that the ability to interact with that piece of knowledge is forgotten. When forced to confront that knowledge again, the indivdual knows from previous experience that it is true and doesn't need to reprove it to use it - unless there is a necessity to show the connections (justify result back to first principles). I think that the examples given can be interesting tests of what we remember (if we have been schooled in those areas) but failure to express the process shouldn't necessarily be considered as evidence of a failure to understand. There are many things I work with that I merely look up in tables or refer back to texts/source material rather than commit to memory as a method of allocating scarce resources (time, memory) in order to accomplish the tasks set out before me. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

quote:I thought you were poking fun at engineers. I acted mildly miffed. I wasn't offended. A failed attempt to inject humor into this topic. I expressed my understanding of the first two problems w/o resorting to texts etc. Perhaps that is why my explanations are in part convoluted. I do not appreciate how molecules act in a streamline as opposed to larger sized elements. I do not appreciate at what point you cannot apply concepts of pressure and streamlines to elements. I.e. Radius of curvature of the wings works because it establishes different streamlines above and below the wing, setting up a low pressure zone which results in experiencing lift. But apparently (from my reading of your post) molecules within the streamline are not affected by either the streamline or differences in pressure. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."
