Hitman, I am kind of confused on this one. If you are telling mouse clicker that he doesn't know enough about life, and you did relate it to age, how do you justify your knowledge of real life? It just seems kind of odd to me.

I don't mean to interupt this lively little discussion. But what does all this marvelous chit chat have to do with school shootings.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #154 on:** August 04, 2003, 08:21:27 PM »

As you know, talk of one thing can lead to a whole different subject altogether.......
I have no idea when it all started.

I think it went from dissing/pitying the Star Wars kid, to dissing Hitman.......

Well, the debate reached a standstill wit me, Ninja, and Omen, so we just stopped since we weren't going anywhere.

I guess I will try to get this thread a little back on track. I suppose the two main ideas in this thread can be categorized by beliefs in gods and such.

The whole idea of god, as I understand it anyway, has always been for man to have a reason for something, to explain why we exhist, why we are here, why things happen etc. In christianity, as well in many other religions, people are taught to be humble, to be caring for other humans, to be nice, etc. and for these same reasons they alienated some people.

A lot of people don't want to be told what is right or wrong, they need to find out their own human truth because they feel that they can only learn through expierence, or at the minimum, something that feels more real. Darwinism did this for a lot of people. It is fact that there are a lot of stretches of truth in the bible, and for people who take it literally, it leaves much to be needed. darwinism filled a lot of those holes.

It makes more sense that things just didn't happen over night, or in the bibles case in 6 days. 6 days to billions of years, which one is more logical?

So on one front, you have science, the other religion. I realize that is incredibly simplified, and could be called wrong because of that, but it's just a short thought that I felt that could be shared.

I doubt anyone in this thread is on the extreme of either of these cases, but both sides do have baring on how we argue our subjects.

So lets try to get this thread back on track a little alright?

That's the base of it, manunited, but I don't really fit in- I'm an atheist, and have been for quite a while. That doesn't mean I'm entirely analytical, though, and I DO believe in Chrisitan ethics and morals (such as the golden rule, and excellent one to apply to this case), just not Christian beliefs. While I do support the thoery of evolution (I don't even think it should be called a theory anymore, it's moved so far beyond- but that's a different subject), and do recognize the fact that humans are basically animals with much more developed brains, I don't choose to live my life as such (again, an excellent example is Xenocide). Just because we ARE animals doesn't mean have to live like it- I've always been one to get the most out of life and believe that while it's not necessarily my duty to help others achieve the same, it's certainly in my best interest.

Mouse clicker, this is getting a tad weird. You sound too much like me. waaaaaaaaaaay too much.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #161 on:** August 05, 2003, 04:59:44 PM »

If you ask me(and you probably won't) I think creation is the real deal.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #162 on:** August 05, 2003, 05:05:00 PM »

That's good for you, but it's not really what manunited and I were talking about. I don't want this to get into a religious debate, or else it'll be locked for sure.

sorry for bringing up an old topic, but i thought this might be of interest to some of you.
(also, sorry if this has been posted before. i read the first 50 or so posts, but after that my interest waned.)

there is a petition at www.jedimaster.net to get the star wars kid in episode iii.

vudu · « **Reply #164 on:** August 14, 2003, 09:52:18 AM »

forgot to mention, there's also 60-some remix version of the original vid at that page, in case any of you still get a kick out of making fun of the kid.

I read about 5 pages of this thread and couldn't stop laughing. Flame wars are funny, especially ones with PIAC

I swear, all of you probably contradicted yourselves at least twelve times.

Hitman in particular is very poor at debating. Whoo. I'm going back to read the first three or four pages.

manunited4eva22 · « **Reply #166 on:** August 14, 2003, 02:06:34 PM »

Well would you care to show us where we contradicted ourselves? It would be interesting just on the subject of debate.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #167 on:** August 14, 2003, 03:32:11 PM »

Well, I exaggerated a bit, but you did contradict yourselves (though not necessarily you, some people did). But I'm too lazy. If you pay me money I will, though.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #168 on:** August 14, 2003, 03:35:16 PM »

You just contradicted yourself- you took the time and effort to decide which one of us contradicted ourselves and how they did it, yet you're too lazy to tell us.

The Omen · « **Reply #169 on:** August 14, 2003, 03:45:37 PM »

Off the beaten path...and back upon it.

THIS...is why school shootings happen. No respect for life. When one becomes an outsider, they feel slighted by (insert clique here) , and therefore feel they must take revenge. The best way? Kill people and become more famous,notorious, and talked about than any of the people who heckled them. They don't want to live anyway, so no big deal. What a concept. And why is it so easy to kill now? The dilution of respect for others, and for ones self. How did we get this low? Well, there isn't enough space to really get into it...but i think we could all figure it out.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #170 on:** August 14, 2003, 03:53:31 PM »

Of course I contradicted myself. It wouldn't be a debate if I hadn't.

Well, technically we're not debating anymore, but still. . .

reading through these posts makes me want to hear a wav file of piac actually readign one of his own posts.
