Anyway, I won't be there, I'll be cycling around giving out sandwiches to our brave boys. Vegan, of course. With complimentary cocktails, to keep them warm when they're out in the cold.

[Smokey D]

but doesnt that back our claim that the carbon tax wont really reduce emissions?

That probably depends on how seriously national governments take the issue.

But even if it doesn't, a tax could be used to pay for activities which offset emissions, like tree planting or development of non-polluting energy sources.

Emission Offsets are the biggest greenwash lie ever told. Now, just repeat the idea to yourself in as simple a form as you can put it:

"We release lots of toxic chemicals and burned carbon into the air, the sea and the earth. If we plant more trees that will sort it out."

It's absolute silliness. It's just a propaganda device that's used to appeal to the tree-hugger in all of us. Don't fall for it.

I'll call the Animal Liberation Front on you. They'll nail you to teh George Washington bridge by your ears so that when the tide comes up your shoes will get full of water. Death is too good for moth exploiters.

Unless we're gonna start planting trees quicker than we cut them down it's not possible to offset anything

At least we don't censor our television :p

Reminds me how a danish television once aired german porn right after Teletubies by accident, because someone ****ed up and left porn and teletubies on the same tape
They apologized heavily for that one

LENIN NO MARX

[McP3000]

Yes, but not on NBC or CBS equivalents.
But then again they shouldn't be forced :/

IM SO CONFLICTED

Oh, no doubt about it, it was ridiculous, but also quite hilarious
was it skinemax style or hardcore?

[dei]

They should be allowed to show pr0n on the television without having to subscribe to some weird package. If parents don't want their kids to watch it, they can block it from their end.

[Knifeboy]

Yes, but not on NBC or CBS equivalents.
But then again they shouldn't be forced :/

IM SO CONFLICTED

Our equivalents to NBC or CBS have chosen not to show porn out of their own will, while some smaller independant channels air cheap porn after midnight

was it skinemax style or hardcore?

I have no idea, I never saw it myself, sadly.. And I don't imagine they got to air more than a couple of minutes before the error was corrected

[totah]

whats so bad about porn? as long as consenting adults are taking part in sex and decide to film it, and another consenting adult wants to watch it, then there's no moral dilemma. And if they don't want to watch it, they shouldn't have the TV on anyway, cos everyone knows TV is stupidening.

[big80smullet]

I dont mind them putting porn on TV. i mean over here they air danish and swedish movies on SBS and thats basically putting porn on ^_^ but i dont think governments should have any say in what is actually put on TV past before 8:30 you cant show nudity violence sex etc

[Mr. Ron]

oh Noes The Human Figure Is Gross

[1338 h4x0r]

Yeah, I agree tbqh

[big80smullet]

there was two sweet movies on SBS tonight. One spanish one about a chick who becomes a dominatrix and one about a dude who loses 220 billion dollars of mafia money on the stock exchange and has to live in switzerland for them :lol: quality

[Reaganista]

Ummm, porn should be censored from the main channels of TV :/
wtf is wrong with you
porn should be on every channel all the time
every show should be required to have some sort of pornographic content

i mean this

[YDtoad]

No, they should be allowed to air animal photographsographic content, but only after a certain hour



because kids don't stay up late:amaze:

I don't get the whole arbitrary time-frame argument. "ok, nothing before 8:30...but as soon as the clock hits that time, 's all good!"

If you believe that it's inapropriate then stick with that viewpoint. Tbh I'm still mulling over how much of a role I want the government to have in regulating television. On one hand, I think the market allows for society to employ a decent level of censorship...but on the other hand, having a free for all would have tremendous consequences for the health of society. We shouldn't be a society that televises homeless people beating each other for alcohol, and prisoners being executed. And if there were no censorship, those would both end up on tv.

[McP3000]

wtf is wrong with you
porn should be on every channel all the time
every show should be required to have some sort of pornographic content

i mean this
i dont want my penis to have chaffing scars are you mad?

Well, I see 3 options.

1) We release lots of toxic chemicals and burned carbon into the air, the sea and the earth. And do nothing about it.
2) We release lots of toxic chemicals and burned carbon into the air, the sea and the earth. And try and do somethings about it.
3)We don't release lots of toxic chemicals and burned carbon into the air, the sea and the earth, but we have to give up modernity.

We know which one you want, but you're one of maybe 3 people so I dunno if we can listen to you.\

Unless we're gonna start planting trees quicker than we cut them down it's not possible to offset anything

That's some pretty fallacious reasoning.

We can't fix everything so therefore we shouldn't try to fix anything is a terrible way to think.

Plus you guys are too fixated on the trees and not enough on the 'development of non-polluting energy production'

[Dr Hooch]

That's some pretty fallacious reasoning.

I'm saying they shouldn't use it to pretend they're not terrible earth ruining people like the rest of us


Also all 3 of your options end up with the fall of modernity one way or another

[Smokey D]

Also all 3 of your options end up with the fall of modernity one way or another

That depends on how good we get at offsetting pollution/devising ways of producing energy and consumables without pollution.

But also, just because it's going to end doesn't mean we shouldn't try and slow the process.

The sun's going to blow up one day, but it doesn't mean we should give up and and kill one another now.

Unless we could make some sort of Mad max world possible. The I'm all for it and buying a loincloth.

[gregulus]

Planting trees may help curve some of the effects, but certainly not all. Plus, trees are being cut down at an alarming pace, at least here in the United States, for subdivisions, shopping centers, etc. The main focus in stemming global warming is cutting back carbon emissions, as the carbon cycle is incredibly long. That, coupled with trying to take the CO2 out of the atmosphere, is our best bet. As of right now, though, I'm inclined to say that a new equilibrium will be established at a higher temperature regardless of what we do. The only thing we can realistically hope to do is lessen the extent of the shift.

On an unrelated note, people who still maintain that global warming is nothing more then the cyclical tilt and orbit of the earth are just kidding themselves. Pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere is not going to be a negligible thing. That said, can global warming be attributed SOLELY to greenhouse gasses? Of course not. Does that mean they should be disregarded? Only a fool would say yes.

[1338 h4x0r]

I feel I have been misrepresented.

We don't need to give up modernity, but we need to give up capitalism. It's capitalism that's stuck in this cycle of resource and consume thats causing so much pollution.

Incidentally, did ya'll know that silicon is the best material for vibrators and dildos? It doesn't scratch, doesn't lose colour, doesn't crack, doesn't pick up dust and dirt, is waterproof, and has a cool name.

That's right, I'm working in a sex shop now, temp'rary like, anyone got a problem with that?

[Dr Hooch]

Silicon is also extremely useful for other things do to it's extremely useful physical properties, and it is a waste for animals such as yourself to use it for pleasure.


Also have you told them to try teflon?

[totah]

Haha, bulletproof vibrators for the adventurous 3rd World traveller?

I heard where this one guy used to travel around with a suitcase full of dildos and vibrators, but he also had a passion for poppers, he had loads in the case. Then one time the poppers got smashed in the case and all his toys came out yellow. Wouldn't have happened to silicon.

k guys should i do my persuasive speech on why gay marriage should be legal, or on net neutrality?

Gay marriage: this would be an easy topic for me because i feel very strongly one way. but the bad thing is I don't want to hurt any ones feelings when i say that they are stupid for letting religion cloud their brains on this issue.

Net neutrality: I could get everybody in the audience on my side with this. But it's a complicated issue and it's not one of those things where you can just pick one side.

so which one? or should i pick neither and go to a different topic?

Here is the trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5am_VXd2ik



It isnt so much about the war on drugs as it is stating that the same powers that fight against drugs, are the ones that brought the drugs in to sale to us. Some of the evidence was bizarre to say the least. Highly recommend watching this show if you can find it.

Opium production was almost non existent in Afghanistan, that is until the US went in after 9/11, now its back on top, hmm. Some of the CIA operations that were bringing it back to sell in the states during the Iran/Contra saga was ridiculous.

From Pres Bush Senior to R Regan and even Bill Clinton, they were all profiting from drug imports. It even implies that the drug war was starting to loose its strength in generating revenue, now terrorism is the new money maker.


Bill Clinton's term saw the highest imprisonment rate of a 20 year stretch for drug related crimes. Non violent, drug convictions were at a all time high.

[totah]

Umm, everyone knows this don't they. This is way old news. Like before-I-was-born old. Reagan and Thatcher introduced heroin to the ghettos to addict, criminalise and therefore control the poor populations. I read part of a research paper where there was a survey of junkies in Hackney (poor neighbourhood in East London) and a few other working class areas around the UK in the 80s and 90s in which they saw the availability of heroin and crack rise during periods of civil unrest. Like during the poll tax riots many poor areas got flooded with heroin.

One thing PC users can do which Mac users can't: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=macs_cant


EDIT: Don't get me started man. This country is in the ****ing dumps. There's the government screaming abuse at Hamas, saying "Aren't they evil, resorting to violence like that?" when they can't control their own bloody generals who say, and I quote, "The only way to negotiate a cease-fire with Hamas right now is through action, not words." Right, because carrying on fighting is bound to bring a cease-fire along.

And then there's the thousands of Sudanese, Eritrean, Ethiopian and Nigerian refugees that Olmert suddenly made up his mind to arrest. The police deadline is 300 a day, and good luck to them. 80% of the refugees arrested so far have been released with the court ruling that the arrests were illegal.

And then there's the Sherut bus fare. It went up from 6 to 8 shekels on the weekend! And the rent is rising because some American tossers can't keep their economy stable. And everybody's concentrating their TV eye on South America and Putin. Like we don't have enough problems here we have to go half way across the world for some decent problems.

Nooo, I live in a magical fairy land where the Jews are always right and nobody ever does anything wrong or nasty, except Arabic people. Also, you wouldn't believe the prosperity here.

Oh wait sorry I thought I was Zero for a minute there. Early morning misconceptions, you know how it is. Yeah, I'm in Israhell.

It's an israheli!

The IDF almost certaintly use them, if they're american and good.

[totah]

Yeah, we got helicopter gunships.

But I can tell you're a connossieur [plz how to spell]. Here, let me show you some missiles. Now this one on the left isn't the newest model, that'd be the next one over with the DU head, but it's definitely the best. If what you want is reliable widespread collateral damage over a radius of seventy metres from the, ahem, terrorist hideout, this is your best choice. It burns flesh, it demolishes buildings in seconds, up to forty metres away from the point of impact, and it even leaves behind these neat little mini-bombs, so you can keep the kids entertained, eh? Eh? Keep the kids entertained?

So what do you say sir?

[Tyr]

Sounds like a blast. I'll take them.

[totah]

You're an evil evil bastard. You know how many Lebanese kids got killed by those things?! Don't you know they're the most beautiful of the Middle-Eastern peoples? Well, them and the Iranians (and I speak of the Aryans from the North, not those Aryan-Arab halfbreeds who go around chopping goats into perfectly good rice and lentils) are definitely tied. Just google image it.

[Tyr]

My last girlfriend was an Iranian.

"So imagine you're in your house, yeah?"

"yup."

"and now imagine there's a rocket flying towards your house."

"sh!t!"

"Yeah! exactly. So there's a rocket, coming at your house. What do you do?!

"uhmmm... Run?"

"Exactly. So now imagine instead of coming NOW, the rocket's coming tomorrow."

"Balls!"

"So now what do you do?"

"Well, I'd... I'd go and get my stuff, and then i'd leave."

"Right. So now imagine that eventually, a rocket's going to hit your house, but you don't know when."

"I'd... leave?"

"Exactly. So if we fire, say, 100 rockets a week into israel..."

"Then eventually we're going to hit all their houses!"

"Exactly. So you see, any day now, they're all going to leave."

SweetIshotguncredityeah?thanks!

Actually, it's true you know, since 2001 around a quarter of the population of Sderot (the town being most bombed) have moved away.

It's a real shame that the Palestinians don't have anywhere to move away to. This is basically the biggest injustice of this whole conflict. It's that the basic human social ability/right to disassociate yourself from any conflict or other social circumstance is completely denied to the Palestinian people. Israelis can go where they like, but the Palestinians have no choice but to stay and try to make the best of it. Or kill themselves, but that's hardly fair.

[big80smullet]

killing yourself is always an option. A pretty definite one but an option none the less

[totah]

Yeah but Israelis have less dramatic options than that, which is the injustice, really.

[lfantwister]

thats not injustice
that's pragmatism

[totah]

thats not injustice
that's pragmatism

Pragmatism would be a non-state solution where every village, town and urban neighbourhood was its own centre of government which formed a Middle-Eastern federation of peoples working together for the betterment and comfort of their lives. Anything else is an inefficient waste of time, resources and life.

Haven't seen you in a while. How's college?

[dei]

So I just found out Barack Obama is black.

[totah]

I found out he has a penis too. Will their lies never end!?

[Dr Hooch]

Or did we dig it out a hole in the ground?

[totah]

Look for the Bong Ra track called Resonance FM Session (I think). It's about Soviet scientists in Siberia drilling a deep hole into Hell. There was this awful grinding repetitive noise coming from it.

[pedro durruti]

Who invented music???????????
Black people...

[dei]

Black people invented sunlight.

[mph4ever]

sunlight invented god

[totah]

God invented black people. The cycle is endless.

[mph4ever]

god created people, racism created black people

[totah]

No I'm pretty sure Africans had dark brown skin before people started calling them n!ggers (or however you want to mark the start of racism).

Cos otherwise it's like saying everyone had the same-colour hair until everyone started telling blonde jokes.

[mph4ever]

i wonder were neanderthals and humans racist towards one another

[dei]

Probably.

[Der Übermensch]

i wonder were neanderthals and humans racist towards one another

I'm pretty sure they warred

[totah]

I didn't know they were around at the same time. The term evolutionary stage has always been stretched in my mind to a theatrical metaphor where the curtain closes while the stage set is changed.

[mph4ever]

isn't incredible that we destroyed an entire other species that may very well have been able to live and work and love among us.

[PerpetualBurn]

Not really.

[totah]

Not considering the last ten thousand years of continued attempts at destroying each other.

Humankind doesn't have a good record as far as fraternity and cooperation go. It's both a wonder we've got this far and the reason for it.

[PerpetualBurn]

Intraspecies competition is pretty standard in terms of evolution.

[mph4ever]

yes, i agree with all of you but surely we are the only species that can and do reflect on the damage we have done in destorying another species for our own interests

[Der Übermensch]

I didn't know they were around at the same time. The term evolutionary stage has always been stretched in my mind to a theatrical metaphor where the curtain closes while the stage set is changed.

No, they definitely intersected timewise.
Neanderthals aren't our direct evolutionary ancestors anyways, but rather a very recent branch.

[gregulus]

No, they definitely intersected timewise.
Neanderthals aren't our direct evolutionary ancestors anyways, but rather a very recent branch.
This is correct. We evolved from Homo erectus in Africa, even though Homo erectus had moved out of Africa by that point, too.

[PerpetualBurn]

yes, i agree with all of you but surely we are the only species that can and do reflect on the damage we have done in destorying another species for our own interests

No, pretty much every species ever in the evolutionary chain has had competition for resources be it with members of its own species, or of others.

[mph4ever]

the key words were "that can and do reflect on the damage we have done "

i just think its unreal that we are the only ones that can understand the consequences of our actions and yet we are not prepared to use that ability to save ourselves or our planet

[Dr Hooch]

you give humanity too much credit

[PerpetualBurn]

Again, in an evolutionary sense, not having such competition would be quite a bad thing.

[mph4ever]

'cept around here, surely

[mph4ever]

you give humanity too much credit

Gotta pimp dem Google quizzotez and Boolean operatizzlez

And good ruck!

[guitrguy]

k, I tried the scholar search, but that came up really general.

[1338 h4x0r]

Use the Schwartz

[guitrguy]

I'm thinking I'm just going to have to browse Barnes & Nobles when I get off work.

[1338 h4x0r]

No, USE THE SCHWARTZ, LONE STARR

[guitrguy]

Why would I use a misspelled German black?

[1338 h4x0r]

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Schwartz

[guitrguy]

a noun describing a person with an unhealthy obsession/ fetish with stuffed otters, coupled with crippling low confidence and neurotic Jewish behavior.

how do Muslims feel about dating...and specifically, Muslims dating non-Muslims...

I bet it depends on the extent that the religion is taken seriously. If what I am assuming is correct, then try to talk to her (or him?) about it personally.

[big80smullet]

most likely not

[croniun]

yea, her...just to clear that up =/

[Hababi]

convert ;)

[croniun]

i'm too white, they'd never believe it.

[Hababi]

Say that you're a really light skinned Tunisian.

[gregulus]

How Muslim is she? If she has been Americanized at all, your chances are better.

[croniun]

definitely not hardcore muslim...she's "ahmadi" and they're apparently like the mormons of Islam but hey, she'll take her headcovering off around me ;).

[gregulus]

definitely not hardcore muslim...she's "ahmadi" and they're apparently like the mormons of Islam but hey, she'll take her headcovering off around me ;).
then i really don't think she'd be too opposed to dating you.

[spitfirejunky]

how do Muslims feel about dating...and specifically, Muslims dating non-Muslims...

didn't really fell like making a thread about it =/

They're mostly against the latter, usually when it involves a Muslim female dating a male.

[totah]

Yeah non-Muslim women are allowed to marry into a Muslim family but Muslim women aren't allowed to marry outside of it.

I'd love to score with a Muslim or a religious Jewish babe. It's weird, but knowing that they're covering themselves up for my benefit turns me on even more.

[guitrguy]

but the religious jew would steal your monies.

that's not me, i'm sorry to say. you're right though, i do think with my banana.

don't you all get tired of the same **** being posted over and over again. is serenity still around?

Yes, he's still around, and he's still a buffoon! What I want is more philosophy but I'm too stupid to think of anything to talk about

Tolkien's writing is terrible. You can't be surprised that I think this. I've said it before.

I think that's the first time anyone's been called non-elitist for not liking Tolkien

And apparently this Moorcock person thought Tolkien wasn't that great either.

yeah guys tolkien sucks. :rolleyes:

how about we talk **** about Sean Connery while we're at it?

I don't see how his writing is terrible? He's regarded as one of the most important author's in his genre ever.

[ringworm]

was up peeps

[Smokey D]

I don't see how his writing is terrible? He's regarded as one of the most important author's in his genre ever.

I disagree with 'most important' necessarily being 'good', at least from a technical point of view.

[Mr. Ron]

I disagree with 'most important' necessarily being 'good', at least from a technical point of view.

What specifically do you dislike about his writing?

[Smokey D]

Turgidity. His absolute lack of economy.

[Mr. Ron]

Turgidity. His absolute lack of economy.

No thats the best part! I love how he over explains everything haha. I think he describes a mountain for a page and a half, and yes, it can get tedious. Although, I guess I'm just biased because lotr was one of my first books that I read and I have a attachment to it. *shrug*

I'm not sure what you mean by economy?

[Smokey D]

Economy of words.

[Mr. Ron]

Ahhh ok. I'll admit he has his weak points that get redundant, but he was/is important to the genre. (even if its been beaten to death)

[1338 h4x0r]

Turgidity. His absolute lack of economy.

what

With an exception for the annoying Biblical prose in the beginning of the Quenta Silmarillion, his language is very sparse and plain, with a strong Anglo-Saxon or Norse feel. Compared to modern authors like George R.R. Martin and Robert Jordan, he is as brief as Hemingway.

Furthermore, he was the first to really develop the legendarium concept, more so than previous authors such as Robert E. Howard. In particular, Quenya and Sindarin are well-developed and give the impression of natural languages.

Anyway, my point about bringing up Tolkien was that his poems, many of which had very good economy of words, are used as lyrics for songs by Summoning, a black metal band.

"The sword is sharp, the spear is long
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong
The heart is bold that looks on gold
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong"

Okay, but compared to Hemingway he's as turgid as George Martin or Robert Jordan.

Note I never called them good authors, either. Fantasy in general suffers from gratuitous language.

I never said he didn't have a formidable intellect. It doesn't make him a good writer, though.

The poems in Lord of the Rings? I've read better.

Case in point.

[1338 h4x0r]

Note I never called them good authors, either. Fantasy in general suffers from gratuitous language.

It's 'gratuitous' because it corresponds to a (well-organized) stream of fantastic thoughts. There is so much atmosphere to describe.

That is especially good because I read fiction quickly and only a 900-page+ book will keep me occupied for a long time

I never said he didn't have a formidable intellect. It doesn't make him a good writer, though.

The best authors can convey profound and intense meaning , at least as much as fantasy authors, with the fewest words possible.

[1338 h4x0r]

I prefer that style for technical writing

[Iskandar]

The best authors can convey profound and intense meaning , at least as much as fantasy authors, with the fewest words possible.Yes.

Few things piss me off more than the excessive use of inkhorn terms.

[Mr. Ron]

I thought you liked lotr?

[1338 h4x0r]

Yes.

Few things piss me off more than the excessive use of inkhorn terms.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkhorn_terms

"An inkhorn term is any foreign borrowing (or a word created from existing word roots by an English speaker) into English deemed to be unnecessary or overly pretentious, usually from Latin."

Tolkien was very keen on using 'native' English words—his Rohirrim are said to have represented an Anglo-Saxon people capable of withstanding the Norman Conquest through cavalry—so I'm not sure what you mean. A few of the words he uses are dated (like idk 'kine' or whatever), but hardly what I'd call pretentious.

The only really strange Latinish word I'd ever seen in his writing is 'coeval', and that's really cool. I want to use it everyday.

[Smokey D]

I have no problem with foreign words. My desire is clarity of expression and it's pretty stupid to say some words originally from Latin or something can't convey meaning more precisely and concisely than Anglo-Saxon terms.

[1338 h4x0r]

But now a cry went up, passing up the wind from the south from vale to vale, and Elves and Men lifted their voices in wonder and joy. For unsummoned and unlooked for Turgon had opened the leaguer of Gondolin, and was come with an army ten thousand strong, with bright mail and long swords and spears like a forest. Then when Fingon heard afar the great trumpet of Turgon his brother, the shadow passed and his heart was uplifted, and he shouted aloud: `Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë! The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!' And all those who heard his great voice echo in the hills answered crying: `Auta i lómë! The night is passing!'

Not hard to read at all, if you ask me.

[Smokey D]

Difficult? No. Turgid and over wordy? Yes.

[1338 h4x0r]

How so? He could hardly have spoken plainer.
