From the desk of Mitt Romney: in General
Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Wednesday, February 22 2006 15:07 Profile #20 quote: Originally written by Drakefyre: Always? Screw the nation over? Absent-minded? I hardly think absent-minded is an appropriate descriptor, always is hardly true (maybe once or twice), and screw our nation over? The last president to screw our nation over was probably Reagan or Nixon, depending on your point-of-view. You're right. Absent-minded and screw the nation over are two very understated phrases about how GWB acts and what he has done. He started a war with Iraq. War screws everyone over. Don't forget all of his political buddies who are getting indicted and that he supports drilling in ANWAR. I would go on, but I have mono and am about to fall asleep at the keyboard. ztrbv ft vf -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 \| Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00
David Irving Jailed in General
Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Wednesday, February 22 2006 15:02 Profile #26 My personal take on Irving is that he's a bit of a dick. His book, Hitler's War, does tend to counter historical fact with opinions and such. Seems to me that he's either a manically fanatical neo-Nazi, or someone trying to sell a book (more likely). Either is pretty low to my standards. Yes, this Austrian law is denying him his free speech. Currently, no, their lack of something like the USA's First Amendment is not being used to oppress the socio-economically low, or to suppress the opposition of the government (Irving is British after all). I am still curious as to whether the maximum penalty of 10 years in jail (the maximum sentence for denying the Holocaust in Austria) is justified to be served by Irving. I mean, the impression he makes on people through his writing, speech and actions might be harsh enough. It does make him look like a capitalist buffoon after all. -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 \| Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00

Eep! Christians! (Split from Christian Radio) in General
Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Monday, February 20 2006 06:31 Profile #54 quote: Originally written by PoD person: I think this merits its own post. *IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THE MASCULINE PRONOUN IS USED IN SITUATIONS WHERE THE GENDER OF THE ANTECEDENT IS NEUTRAL. I TRIED, BUT IDIOM SNUCK UP ON ME. SO SUE ME.* Very well, I shall contact your lawyers. :P Actually, in the English language, many people will use the pronoun 'it' to refer to neuter nouns. Go figure... quote: quote:It is the family of God with the qualities of God in process of being refined and remembered. I guess atheists are disowned cousins then, hunh? I am obliged to be disowned from the family of religious bullshttery. TYVM. To my main point... I am a confirmed Lutheran. My pastor guided me to realize my own beliefs of higher powers during the path to confirmation. I figured it out then. I understood that because of people like PoD Person, akin to many people you see on TV and think "dude, what the hell," religion will always be far too dangerous. Religion ought to be done away with so people may live an undistracted, productive, happy life. The purpose of religion is not to get "closer to God" or "realize God" or any other such blithering nonsense. Religion is a social phenomenon that 1) brings communities together in a social atmosphere, 2) comforts those who fear death, creation, and other such uncertainties, and 3) helps motivate people (morally or otherwise). It never was about "God," especially one as recently invented as the "Christian God." It's pretty apparent that religion is causing a lot of trouble in the contemporary world and lets many people in positions of "power" do pretty morally corrupt things. As a visionary, I hope to help people understand that one only lives one life and one ought to make good use of it. You can have more fun being morally good than being morally corrupt. A life of hard work and kindness will make you feel better than randomly killing people, shooting up on heroine, etc. As a communist, it's difficult for me to come up with a solution to said problems. Difficult, but not impossible. I live a better life without a god or a religion. You can't say I didn't try it; by being a part of a religion I realized more how bad it can be, even though the congregation I am now an adult to (why not to the US though??) was very liberal and open. Hell, I used to be an acolyte and a dude who carried the cross in and held it in front of the congregation during the opening hymn. It was boring at times, but the people were so very hippy and enjoyable. I can mingle with them sans religion. So I leave you with the ultimate... testement, as it were, to atheism. My Savior, John Lennon's words. :P "Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above only sky Imagine all the people Living for today, ah! Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace, you You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one! Imagine no posessions I wonder if you can No need for greed, nor hunger A brother(sister!)hood of man" (Edit: Formatting) [ Monday, February 20, 2006 06:33: Message edited by: Semodius ] -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 \| Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00*

Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Sunday, February 19 2006 19:19 Profile #30 Well, bad root beer does taste like carbonated cough syrup. This is why when in a restaurant with inconspicuous and unlabeled "Root beer" available for purchase, I always ask what kind it is. I will never drink Mug because it's a POP and not a drink... Barq's is too carbonated and hurts my palate, and doesn't taste very good anyways. A&W is rather decent, once flattened a bit. Any other pop producer (Shasta, etc) is frowned upon by me, root beer-wise. And if it is of any other kind, I will try it. My favorites being Sprecker and 1919. But canoing is my life, and root beer is my beverage. -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 \| Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00

Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Sunday, February 19 2006 19:10 Profile #11 quote: Originally written by 7 per day keep the doctor away.: It's a DeLorean. Everyone has ideas for how to make a good game. Just look at Blades forums to see how many people would love to design a game as long as someone else will do the implementation for them. Ultimately, nobody really wants to make someone else's world unless that someone is paying for it. Furthermore, because of problems with legal rights, Jeff actually can't use any idea submitted to him by someone else. If you really want to make sure that an idea isn't used, this is the best way to do it. —Alorael, who is sure someone is wishing he'd thought of emailing Jeff the plot of A4 before A4 was made. Thank you for the correction. =) I'd love a DeLorean for myself just for the doors. =) But yeah, Jeff can use anything he sees or hears on this board because he can always delete it, eliminating proof that someone else ever actually said it. He could probably get away with using it even if he never erased it because he does own the boards. But I'm no lawyer. He can use any story from someone else he wants, or a reference at least, as long as he cites his sources, without plagiarising. Plagiarism is only illegal in the academic world anyhow, not under United States law. -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 \| Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00

Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Sunday, February 19 2006 19:03 Profile #36 My belief remains that organized religion is too destructive. It's too easy to manipulate the masses to do your EVIL BIDDING. I believe in trees and having fun until the so-black-and-nothinglike-it's-not-even-black-or-nothing feeling of death arrives. I also believe in love and goodness. And righteousness to the extent that I say it when surfing or canoing down rapids. -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 \| Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00

Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Sunday, February 19 2006 07:27 Profile #2 ...You begin to hear a motor from a distance. At first you take no notice of it and continue to listen to the Doc's explanation of his latest invention. Then, you see the source of the sound: An old large microbus with baggage and two men loaded on the top. You hear howls from within the van as it approaches the parking lot currently occupied by you and the Doc. Doc turns to you and murmurs "Libyans! Run!" As you stand there, confused, the VW pulls up right in front of Doc, and one of the men on top pulls out an AK-74 and opens fire on Doc. You see him take a few bullets to the chest before your petrified legs unstick. You dive away from your DeLorian and behind the truck full of equipment that Doc drove over in. You hear more gunshots and see puffs of asphalt where you were just standing. You hear shouts in a foreign language from the VW as the motor revs. You start running away from your two vehicles but the VW is already on the other side of the truck, waiting for you. You dive under the truck again, confident that the gunshots you heard missed you. You hollar at Doc, but get no reply. Thinking fast, you jump into the Dolorian and start driving. The Libyans give chase and after leading them around the parking lot once, you remember. Doc had just shown you how this time machine works! You turn on the flux capacitor and even out the DeLorian for a drive diagonally across the parking lot. You put the pedal to the metal, hoping you can drive in a straight line for long enough without being shot. Halfway across the parking lot, the spedometer hits 88mph. There is a flash of light.... And you find yourself elsewhere. [ Sunday, February 19, 2006 19:05: Message edited by: Semodius ] -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 \| Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00

Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Saturday, February 18 2006 13:55 Profile #6 Alorael, you're almost absolutely right. It's a lemma not because I proved it. I said it was a lemma, so it is. Assume that it is a lemma is what I would have typed, had I not been lazy. But root beer is indeed a good drink because it mixes honey, carbonated water, fructose corn syrup, and natural flavors in a palatable concoction.

(Semodius is an atheist anti-establishment commy pinko hippy nature lover who likes to prance through the meadows in bare feet and thinks religion causes far more harm than good, even though it can be a driving force for good [see Martin Luther King, Jr.] it always bites ya in the ass. Like that one snake that bit Steve Irwin that one time. Hehehe that was good. I used to belong to a Lutheran church and my pastor was the same type as me, but he believed in Jesus and such. Very good guy. He's in his 70s I believe and still paddlin' in the BWCAW. He's the guy who turned me on to the whole disbelief scene. I took it a bit farther than him but I respect certain parables and other biblical teachings as wise. I also respect teachings of the Koran [Quran], the Torah, certain Taoist teachings, and other wise information. But my holy book is the entire works of Edward Abbey [The Monkey Wrench Gang, Heyduke Lives!, Desert Solitaire, A Fool's Progress, and countless others... so watch out for your motors!!].

Physics, and a dumb teacher in General
Semodius Warrior Member # 6689	written Saturday, February 18 2006 07:22 Profile #5 The ^2 comes from the need to keep the energy unit in Joules (or calories, but Imperial sucks). Because potential energy is equal to the product of mass, the pull of gravity (or another conservative force that you are dealing with, i.e. electric fields) and height. That gives the definition of a Joule the unit Nm. Alternatively you can unsimplify this expression to get kgm^2/s^2. This is a fairly easy unit to come up with before simplifying the units of kinetic energy (.5mv^2, do the math :P ). -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 \| Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00
