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?

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?

Mulan is the best Disney princess around. She saved the Chinese Emperor and Kingdom from the Huns, and is a total badass. Like seriously, none of the others even compete.

Could not agree more.

In fact, of all the Disney heroes, (not only heroines) it seems to me that only Mulan and Aladdin had any serious adventure at all.

I would have to agree with you, assuming we are talking purely classic Disney movies (Cinderella, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, etc)

How can you say Ariel didn't have an adventure? She lost her voice, gained some legs, then fought a gigantic octo-bitch, rescuing daddy's trident and saving the ocean.

But of course the most badass Disney princess is Leia Organa Solo.

I bet Mulan was ugly, quite muscular and had flat boobies. How else she could mingle with the troops with all other guys for so long? Oh, oh, her voice must be kinda tough too. You want Mulan to be a best Princess, let's be honest? Let me give you a better Princess, how about Grace Jones if you fancy some tough woman.

So your view is that a good princess must be a perfect looking girl? All the better to make anyone who doesn't fit into model clothes feel inferior right? You have a sad view of good if you judge looks over actions.

@ePICFAeYL...I'm a bit concerned after reading this OP...

+1 on Leia Organa Solo. Most definitely the most badas Disney princess.

And is there any way to mute posts based on a text string in a post? Hypothetically speaking that is.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
21 May 13 UTC
Nigee, Draug has said before that he doesn't want to be a mod, and a new mod would mean someone's retiring, lets not hope for that anytime soon because the current team is pretty good.

@TheMinisterOfWar, not at the moment, and since such a request would need a query to be run against every single post it would place a high demand on the system even if the query could be optimized. I can't say for sure, but I think if too many people had such mute requirements it would overwhelm the server.
Then again, Snow White can be pretty badass when she's angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry. http://i.imgur.com/jzFcxII.jpg

High Queen what's her name from Narnia was pretty bad ass with that bow. Not quite Legolas bad ass (she didn't exactly kill a fully staffed mumakil single handedly), but bad ass none the less.
Susan. Lucy got the stupid healing potion.

What I want to know is where Father Christmas was at the battle. A troop of his elves armed with bows that never miss and swords that... erm... what did the sword do? Anyway, they could have wiped out the White Witch in minutes.
Here's where Father Christmas was (it's not porn, Draugnar):

You know Merida is more badass then Lucy. Lucy eventually turns away from Narnia and leaves behind her bow. Merida fights for her own rights with a bow. Sadly they had to go and change how she looks, but Disney does what Disney wants.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 May 13 UTC
Everyone was more badass than Lucy. What did she have? A dagger and a bottle of magic healing potion? Meh...

But I agree that Merida should *not* be getting the makeover from Disney. It's a step in the wrong direction. Lilo was a brave little girl and her older sister hardly fit the "classic beauty" mold. Both were independent and strong. Merida combined both together in a very positive way. I thought disney was making strides and then they pull that shit.
In response to overwhelming public disapproval, Disney ditched the Merida makeover plan.

Really hadn't heard that. But yay. Really happy to hear that. And I correct myself from Lucy to Susan in my above post.

"Everyone was more badass than Lucy."

Well duh. She's what, seven years old? You want to send a seven year old girl (or boy) into close combat against a minotaur or werewolf? As the father of a seven year old girl I think the medical corps is a much more appropriate assignment. Thank goodness Father Christmas was thinking straight that morning.

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.

Of Warp Cores and Insurgents--Trek 12 and the Post 9/11 Aesthetic
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?

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!
