Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Tuesday, August 16 2005 09:05 Profile #183 I think that everyone that cares has already made up their minds on that point Drew. Some people will always stick with the President, some always with a Democrat, some always with a Republican. That's just the way it is. What kills me is that the Democratic party still thinks it can change minds by exposing the truth. As mentioned by Jack, most people can't handle the truth. What the current administration has done very successfully is distract people (read the less political folks) from the uncomfortable government (in/)actions and point ferociously in the other direction. Case in point, gasoline prices are up $.97 from a year ago, so the DoE responds with "Wow, that's quite a bit, but when you adjust for inflation it is less than during the embargo." See? Despite the fact that OPEC is pumping at an all-time high, we are supposed to feel good that we are actually paying less now than 30 years ago. Warm fuzzies. So, rather than react in a negative fashion to someone feeling positively about the current admin, it may be more constructive to create positive feelings about the oppositions point of view. Not trying to crash your party or anything, but I am so frustrated with the success that the current admin has had in polarizing the population. I've yet to hear one Democrat offer up a solution for getting the troops out of Iraq, given the requirements of the admin. Why isn't Kerry over in Iraq working hand in hand with the new Iraqi government? Grrr. Enough ranting for now, but needed to convey that Jewel is entitled to feeling as she does, and I wish only that the actions of the admin allowed more people to feel that way. this message should be sponsored by the democratic party Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

My how far we've fallen... in Richard White Games
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Thursday, August 11 2005 08:40 Profile #6 To make matters even worse, this Richard guy is obviously dead. Why would a dead guy make white games? White games are difficult to play, even after fiddling with the contrast on the screen. Maybe there is something different on the Mac, but us Microsoft slaves prefer our blue games, with the pretty hex code describing how badly we failed at multitasking. this whole thread sponsored by the joke store -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Tuesday, August 9 2005 12:40 Profile #156 What a wonderful pot to stir. ;) As the bible states, Eve was created from a rib taken from Adam. As we all know, technology and medicine was a little "thin" back in the old days. But with a little interpretation, I see that god used stem cells from Adam to create a simulcrim (or clone) with a different gender. So why the big hububaloo about stem cell research and human cloning? I would think that since its okay in the bible that it would be okay in federally funded laboratories. this message sponsored by the real big spoon company Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Tuesday, August 9 2005 09:42 Profile #148 Using the gender specific pronoun may be an error of convenience, but I think not in this case. If we go by the theory that gods are created by people through the power of prayer, the Abrahamic god championed by christians was created by males and for males to dominate over the more pagan gods including the "earth mother" that was revered by some women. So, in this particular case, it is a he, although everyone is free to pray to their own incarnation of god. It just won't be the god that ben has in mind. But that brings me to an interesting question from something written by ben. Where exactly are you talking about when you use the phrase "in heaven"? I'm being serious here. What and where is this place that you call heaven? this message funded by the god of the nematodes Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00
Peter Jennings has died in General
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Monday, August 8 2005 19:29 Profile #7 Peter Jenning's contribution to a nationwide news broadcast was the inclusion of foreign news. He demanded that his broadcast include news on famines, regional strife, wars, and natural disasters, and often he was the lead reporter on that crisis. He perhaps understood that "news around america" was only part of the story, and it to his credit that I take more than a passing interest on events around the globe. To say "you don't care" implies that you know all of this and are unmoved by the contributions and open-mindedness of the man, or that you personally disapprove of the subject matter of the thread. I can't fathom how such a contribution serves anyone. this message offers condolences to Peter's wife and two children Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

What's your religion? in General
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Sunday, August 7 2005 20:40 Profile #61 It's pretty sad when I don't even remember what I said to provoke such a well thought response. So I re-read what I said, which does seem like a unified theory or something. I did mean to define society as any group of people living together, rather than a more broad definition which would encompass an entire country. I guess I had in mind specific examples, and sort of extracted some sort of general principle based on those. 1. Jewish food law is religious in nature, and is intended to create a food which is not spoiled, and thus is good to eat. It is better for society to have a healthy source of food, even though the USDA does a poor job of it. 2. Several of the ten commandments are very good rules to follow if you live in a society. Some of them less important. 3. I can't think of the others right now, but I'm sure you get the gist of my thought pattern. this message sponsored by food handlers local #213 Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

Edit - UU is for those people that like the idea of a community of friends that share through common religious feelings. As such, it is inclusive rather than exclusive. I believe the test isn't assigning a religion to your beliefs, but is actually saying that members of each listed faith share some percentage of your personal beliefs. You (ADoS) may share many of the UU and Quaker beliefs because they are much less formal and more open to partisan interpretation than the RC or OJ beliefs. I know quite a few UU's, and there are many UU's in your area, so it is not surprising at all that us New Englander's should share some of the belief set that exists within the UU church. Hope that was somewhat less than completely useless. this message serves as a reminder to sacrifice another goat tomorrow [ Saturday, August 06, 2005 12:55: Message edited by: Jumpin' Salmon ] Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

What's your religion? in General
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Saturday, August 6 2005 09:51 Profile #40 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: They differ not just on the answers they propose, but on the questions they consider. ... and instead there was this immense emphasis on society and politics, which Christianity has generally dismissed as ephemeral at best. My admittedly poor understanding of religion is that it was a tool used to advance civiilization to the level that it exists today. That might even make a fair thesis for some anthro grad. Something like, the level of civilization is directly proportional to the level of organization in religion and the number of adherents. That random thought aside, the Qur'an (like the Bible) is a guidebook for living a happy and productive life. Life in Muslim strongholds (thinking Northern Africa and Middle East) was developed under a nomadic tribal system, and the Qur'an tells how to "get along" under those restrictions. The Bible was written by more stationary groups of people, with different goals in mind, and reflects that mindset. Another random thought. I think we are all familiar with the fact that Christianity was spread around the globe through the active work of missionaries. Is there any such device used to spread Islam? If not, as I suspect, doesn't that alone show that the Islamic faith is based more on attraction than persuasion? this message sponsored by the wooden spoon manufacturers guild Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00
Error in Cresent Valley in Blades of Avernum
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Saturday, August 6 2005 09:39 Profile #1 From what I've heard, the error is sporadic and affects all Windows users. Apparently there is something about bad graphics that causes that error, I think Thuryl mentioned that it happens when trying to load a non-existent part of a graphics file. The bandit leader's graphics are in file G512.bmp and it appears that they are all there. Maybe someone that does stuff can check it out. As far as getting around it, it doesn't happen every time. Just save your game before that fight and hope that "this time" it doesn't give that message. this message sponsored by the acme puzzle company -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Morals and etc would have taken longer to be established.* Not buying this argument. Most societies have some form of marriage, but not all of those societies connect marriage to religion, and often when such connections do exist it's clear that marriage and religion existed as separate institutions before being connected. Furthermore, I fail to see how anyone can claim that marriage did not exist prior to religion. We've had religion for well over 8,000 years, even though it may not be "your" religion. Morals are a societal code that became necessary when people decided to live in groups larger than immediate family. Religion glommed onto then and assigned value in an effort to persuade more folks to be amenable to living in society. I'm thinking specifically about the Huns and the Germanic tribes, who violated the "peaceful" Mediterranean people at every opportunity. But, I have to concede that the literal words 'as we know it today,' have a ring of truth to them. I don't know (as I don't care to research it) the mechanics of marriage back in, say 4000BC, but I agree that it probably is a little different.

"Nephilim Mystery" Questions in Blades of Avernum
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Friday, August 5 2005 21:18 Profile #13 First time I went through I couldn't get the 3rd bar. That was because I avoided fighting the wandering nephs. This time, while trying to get cursed, I have fought at least 15 different groups of nephs. So, I checked the script and saw that you have a 10% chance on any group to get the mithral. I would have liked to see that be incremented after each group killed, or have a pre-set random number of groups to fight before getting the bar. ie. mithgroup = random (3,10); sdf (100,12) is the counter, and the scenario state would inc_flag (100,13) after each group killed. Then it could compare the two flags and award the mith at the right time. this message is only worth two cents -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.
