Remember all those bullets DHS was buying. Well, apparently Obama's DHS is now acting as domestic police...because every tyranical government needs federal police to quell domestic political speech...

Suicide vs homicide
What's worse? I know my opinion, and I feel it's easy to guess, but I'm curious what you guys think. I'm talking both ethically and aftermath. Also, does it make a different if it's 800 people commiting suicide vs 1 commiting homicide, or the other way around? Do circumstances matter? Again, sounds pretty obvious to me but I don't want to influence the outcome.

Why was Landowner banned?
He wasnt a multi. He wasn't a meta since he never played a game. And what does "invalid email" mean? He spoke on the forum about responding to emails...what is the policy for banning someone based on not checking emails? If you go on vacation for a week and don't check, does that result in getting banned?

Threads/Replys are very wrong
I was looking at someone's profile a while ago to see what they had posted about a subject and it seems that the threads/replys on our profiles are missing threads from the past month. Am I seeing this wrong, or is there some problem here?

Hey guys its me again.
I come here with a question. There is in fact a personal story behind this question, but I'm sure you are all tired of hearing my personal stories, so I won't go into that unless people want me to. Anyway, my question is this: Is listening to music on Youtube morally/ethically equivalent to watching pirated movies or bootlegs? If not, what is the difference? Assume that neither the music nor the movie is owned in any other medium.

http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/9-11-looms-large-over-star-trek-darkness-211915647.html
Interesting article about the allegories in the film...those that have seen it--agree, disagree (I very much agree, and felt it was very much in the Trek tradition of tackling topical issues) or what...but as a side note...is anyone tired of the terrorist/9-11 Aesthetic in TV and film, or feels it's being exploited too much?

My quote was technically accurate. Also, Krellin officially does not apologize.
Draugnar (0 DX)
20 May 13 UTC
That's why I said close enough. Tecnically, you could have twisted the meaning to be the exact opposite by removing different words. It actually conveyed the intent. Unlike Krellin, by "unable to defend himself" I meant because he wasn't seeing what I worte, he wouldn't know it existed and therefore couldn't defend himself. So you actually conveyed my intent quite well.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Oh, not true. I have apologized on occassion when I felt someone was worthy of apology. Such people are far and few between. Most people here are such flaming hypocrites it isn't even funny - they throw insults, they troll, etc, and then bitch about other people throwing insults and trolling. It's **laughable**. Further, most people -- jimgov is a great example -- can be presented with direct scientific reports to contradict something they state to believe, and yet will not even admit to the eveidence presented to them. Dealing with such fools...yes, fool, in the literal sense...is tiresome...and thus provokes my fondest delight: Extreme Trolling...and I don't apologize for that.

Better?
Draugnar (0 DX)
20 May 13 UTC
Krells, what I meant was that you might have written "someone who can't defend themsleves" in a derogatory manner. I actually might use that phrase on occassion to. What I meant was that "this time" that wasn't my intent. What happens between you and jimgov is between the two of you. I just got carried away this weekend and wanted to apologize to him. I have sent other PM apologies out as well. I had fun, but I did let it go to far.
hecks (164 D)

@Krellin,
Not offended. Just, like I said, everyone's ideas, including yours, make more sense when you're talking about them instead of yelling about them.

You sent: I hope you see this or someone convinces you to unmute me long enough so you do... I just wanted to apologize to you personally for the trolling. I let it get out of hand and there is no excuse for that. So simply put, I'm sorry.

lol ahhh...hypocricy reigns supreme. Case in point: Synapse, no doubt in some air of smug superiority, "reposts" a maligned quote of my post, I assume in an attempt to insult me? Regardless of intent...it's pure trollism...no doubt posted (ironically) in an attempt to insult what he percieves as a troll post.

This is why I think 95%+ of the posts and poeple on these forums are hardly worthy of my respect or my apologies, as the vast majority are blatant hypocrites. And thus, I will continue about in my own extreme trolling ways, occasionally having serious conversations...but unapologetically trolling and insults those I deem (with my superior intellect...) to be worthy of my harsh insults.

I'm a diabetic and Coke Zero is a dman site better than Diet Coke. Right now, at the end of the work day, however, I am drinking a Monster Energy Absolute Zero.
Octavious (2701 D)
20 May 13 UTC
You think so? I can just about cope with Diet Coke, but drinking a can of Coke Zero make me feel like I've just had the insides of my stomach removed.

The only one I actually like these days is Pepsi Max. Can't stand any other sort of Pepsi though.
Draugnar (0 DX)
20 May 13 UTC
I don't do cans at all. I prefer 20oz bottles. And I cannot stand Pepsi in any shape or form.

Lately I have been trying to make iced tea at work. I bought a fridge for my office (http://www.lowes.com/pd_153941-33112-HCR17BG_4294857965__?productId=3691816&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%3FgoToProdList%3Dtrue%26Ns%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo=)and a cool, indestructible half gallon carafe that fits it perfectly (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EYUZLI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Those two plus the mini colman picnic table top gas grill allows me and my coworkers to eat and drink healthier. I make a pitcher of iced tea up the night before. We grill steaks or pork chops or chicken and some veggies or have a fresh salad and we store the food in the fridge for the day without worrying about it disappearing from the main fridge shared by the whole east wing of the 4th floor.

I've tried to start this game 3 times now or so, let's make it happen this time--again, the premise is simple: global chat, everyone picks a form of English (ex. I'm using Elizabethan English...some people have wanted to use Nasdat, Rastafarian, Middle English, Southern US English, etc.)...so, indicate interest below and I'll send you the password, my last finals are tomorrow and I want this to be my return game after my short semi-hiatus from the site...let's go!
