  1. Makes a lot of sense from a business point, if they'll pay that when there are short supplies, well, they'll continue to pay it when there's a lot of it too! But you see, if you're stealing the oil, it's much cheaper than say, PAYING the nations for it. And if they aren't stealing the oil there, then they must be getting one hell of a deal on it.

    There is no doubt that gas companies raised prices without needing too, but I highly doubt we went into Iraq just for the oil. After all, most oil that goes to the U.S. comes from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Nigeria. Iraq does contribute the 4th most oil to us but we certainly don't need to steal it from them either.

    Yeah USA have the World series despite the fact that only two countries participate, because you know everything evolves around the Americans.

    If the rest of the world cared as much about baseball, you guys would probably be apart of the World Series. Countries like Japan and Caribbean/island nations in the Atlantic where it's popular should be a part of it too. Then a lot of people in America don't pay attention to Soccer (Football) so idk.

    And while we're on the subject of American ignorance towards other countries, it's true. Sorry, but America only SPANS 6 TIMEZONES BECAUSE OF ITS SIZE. It's much more expensive for Americans to travel than others. America is also much more diverse, land-wise, than Ausfailia. BTW you're using an American invention with American software looking at a website hosted in America.

  3. Iraq is just special, Iraq has oil, oil which America wants/needs.

    We didn't go in there for oil! If we had, gas prices wouldn't have more than tripled before the recession! We genuinely thought there were dangerous weapons there. Besides, even if Iraq didn't supply us with oil, we still get it from other OPEC nations...Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, etc...

  4. Nice mod, I see what you're doing, helping parents of kids who just want to play.

    It's a good mod (as far as being well-made) but WHAT? So it's okay to kill countless people but as soon as you see tits, it's suddenly off limits? I'm sick of this anti-sex attitude, and the more it proliferates, the more confused children will be. To quote Maddox:

    I want to shoot people in the face, bang prostitutes, traffic drugs, steal cars, and terrorize police officers without this filthy smut in my game. Frankly, I'm appalled that Rockstar would allow such wholesale corruption of our youth.

    Also you should host the mod on TGTAP man.

  5. If you find Saints Row simular to San Andreas you can fuck off.

    wat?

    Saints Row 1 ripped the fuck off of San Andreas. The game was originally supposed to be the 360's sandbox game to hold people over to GTA IV, but then people realized that Saints Row was actually a good game. Since Saints Row 2 still shares the themes of Saints Row 1, yes, it is still technically ripping off GTASA. That doesn't make either of them bad games, it makes them the first GOOD GTA-clones.

    Sauce

    These are on Kotaku and other sites as well so I think they're legit, though 3.2GHz dual-core processor? I personally find that to be vague, major league bullshit. I really don't like when companies say things like that. A 3.2GHz C2D is certainly not the same thing as a 3.2GHz Athlon X2, and even if it were, that's a damn high requirement. I'd also like to know how the minimum graphics card is an X1300 and the recommended is a 3850, there must be one hell of a settings spectrum in this game.

  7. It is human nature to kill. It started with Cain and Abel as the Bible says.

    While it may be human nature to kill, that certainly doesn't justify killing in the name of your favorite invisible man. If the people who murdered others in the name of God were never taught the religious garbage, they never would have committed the crimes.

    all beings in this universe come to question why they are here.

    If by all beings in the universe you mean sentient creatures, yes, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen a Panda wonder why it exists.

    At some point in your life you will have a very personal experience. When that happens you are given a gift, a peek behind the magician's curtain and you will be in awe.

    What exactly is this "magician's curtain" a metaphor for? And what do you mean by personal experience? Urinating is a personal experience, pretty sure that when I do it I don't gain sacred knowledge. Any "supernatural" experience you have is imagined.

    My advice to all is stay away from the man with all the answers, he also has the poisoned kool-aid and wants you to share a trip on the UFO behind the comet. I will be 15 this March and my Dad has said that my wisdom has surpassed his own. Both my Mom and Dad are Methodists, I am not. But my Dad told me a few years ago that the poorest man is one without faith he has nothing to look forward to and worries if the Sun will rise the next day.

    So is this metaphor telling us to ignore established knowledge and blindly believe in something that is impossible? Good luck with that, guess I'll just go away while having nothing to look forward to and worrying about the sun rising. (wtf are you on, honestly)

    1. God

    2. i don't know, only God knows

    3. this is not heaven, so every human is not exempted from sufferings

    4. dinosaurs and humans cannot co-exist with each other, right?

    5. challenges makes a person much stronger (not physically) but it depends on the person anyway, if you cannot survive the challenges of this world, then your life is over. I don't sympathize with fundamentalists because they only believe and rely on something for no sufficient reason, they don't fully understand what does a religion really means.

  8. The reason you keep coming back to debate the nonexistance of God is your ego. You cannot condone that there is something better than you, and yet you have doubt in yourself.

    What? The fact that atheists don't believe in God is due to the fact that the commonly described God doesn't make sense. Agnostics question the existence of God, Atheists believe there is none. I debate because I enjoy it and it's fun to see people argue their respective points. What I don't enjoy is people who have little knowledge about a subject yet constantly belittle it.

    More people have been murdered in the name of God than for any other reason. Thou shalt not kill...unless those you kill don't love the same invisible man you do!

  9. I changed the orientation of my Xbox 360 while it was on and a game was in it.

    wat4.jpg

    You know, with all the shit you have talked about the 360, I'm surprised that you didn't know about this issue in the first place.

    Good luck getting it fixed though!

    Also interestingly my 360 was made in 05 and I've had no problems even leaving it on carpet for hours at a time. I also got GH3 for Christmas, brb GH3.

  10. So if I ate a banana 5 minutes ago and had it on video and you ate an apple 5 minutes ago when you were alone...that means I have more evidence that I ate a banana over the evidence that you ate an apple, which means you didn't actually eat an apple?

    I'm asking what the evidence is that I'm apparently ignoring.

    The fact that you ate the apple can be proved or dis-proved by a scientific analysis of your stomach.

    I don't know where you get that "born again Chirstian crap" we are only born here on Earth you are born again when you die. I am not dead yet that I am aware of...

    Christians (of most denominations) believe that when you ask Jesus to come into your life and save you, you are effectively "born again" with a soul free of the sin you "inherited" from Adam and Eve.

    Evolution is another belief system pure and simple. I know the arguments as well as you do. If I believed as you do I would be the most dangerous creature on the planet. If this is all I get: 75 or 95 years on this planet, with no afterlife, no punishment or rewards, and nothing but nonexistance after death. I would start killing today when I want, eating humans ---they are just another meat source--- , raping and stealing what I want or need to keep myself happy for the short time I live because once it is said and done they can only kill me once. Right? You don't have to answer that because I know you are going to say that mankind has higher morals than the animal kingdom we are not lions in a jungle. But if that were true, I wouldn't see the sick unmoral pornography in my email, I wouldn't be reading the horrible unmoral hoaxes and the perveted minds of men. My moral code like many others is based on punishment of what God can do - not punishment of what man can do. Fear the day that anyone teaches this 14 year old boy otherwise.

    No, you wouldn't go raping and killing your whole life because eventually you would get fucked up by the police. By your logic, we should use an all-powerful being which will make you suffer forever if you don't please him even though we loves you and doesn't want to hurt you. Hypocritical, no? That's saying we should live righteous lives not out of kindness, but out of fear of what will happen to us. Mankind is horrible; we lie, steal, cheat, and step on others for personal gain. It always has and always will be that way because it's our nature. That's why the rule of law is necessitated, to protect the natural rights of people. That's why Anarchy doesn't work, even if there wasn't a government and everyone was a Christian, people would still be killed and raped and whatnot. Just look at those Godfearing Catholic pedophiles. I'm sure they're really concerned what will happen to them after they die. We sacrifice some of our liberty to the government for protection. If the French Revolution taught us anything, that's it. Not saying I don't like our government currently but having a government is undoubtedly necessary.

    Nature is neither kind nor cruel, but indifferent.

  11. Facts as you know them. But if you cannot trust your senses then science is the faith of your 5 senses. Five senses that according to anyone with faith in God, God created and controlls your 5 senses. According to science itself you are supposed to not trust your senses because they can be "mislead" such as UFO sightings.

    What? Where exactly does science say not to trust your senses? You NEED your senses to make scientific observations, IT'S PART OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. Also I don't know what Bible you've been reading but it certainly does not claim that God controls you or your senses. Even if you are a born-again Christian you still have free will. According to God, it's up to you what you do with it.

    According to the Christian faith Jesus walked on water and so did his buddy Peter. Science says phsyically impossible unless the water was frozen. So in the mind of the truly faithful science has nothing to do with reality it is just the magicians curtain.

    Yes it is physically impossible. Now, which is more believable? Believing it is provably physically impossible to walk on water which you can see today? Or to believe that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father could walk on water according to an ancient text?

    And another thing, I'm sick of people saying Evolution is a racist theory. Social Darwinism, a 19th century-era theory which was NOT conceived by Darwin but by a Whig supporter, Herbert Spencer, is what you're referring to. Social Darwinism is a mis-construed perspective on "Survival of the Fittest." Evolution and Atheism =/= Social Darwinism.

  12. Yes, that's how science works, logical conclusions are drawn in the wake of supporting evidence and data. The atomic theory...a theory yes, but it produces tangible results (atom bomb) whereas blind faith in religion doesn't. The atomic theory and evolution aren't perfect theories, that doesn't make them wrong. In fact they produce actual results (Evolution isn't just a method of explaining where we came from, it explains the similarities and differences in creatures due to things such as analogous structures, divergent/convergent evolution, etc...), more than religion does.

    So you’re saying as long as there is something that slightly proves something…that it could be considered fact?

    Theories are ideas that we create to explain something and if you believe in theories then you have faith. People have faith in God, which you could consider a theory that hasn’t yet been proven with physical evidence, but people still have faith in God just like you have faith in the theory of evolution.

    Slightly proves something...the atomic theory effectively proved that matter is composed to atoms and this is evidenced by a nuclear bomb. Religion proves...nothing and is evidenced by...nothing. Believing in a theory =/= having faith in religion. To be considered a scientific theory there needs to be supporting evidence. To believe in God you need faith, by definition faith is something you believe in without a way to prove it's correct.

    I don't have faith in Evolution because I don't have to, it's scientifically proven to be true.
