Re: System is closed please stand at the back of the line...

Is being human a closed shop,is it based on ethics or genetics or perhaps first up best dressed kind of a system? First, let's look at what wikipedia has to say on the word "human"... The word homo is Latin, in the original sense of "human being", or "person". The word...

Re: The big day is upon us

I love the new changes! Browser is sexy, but needs flash support. It's great that planets have a cool look to them. The jukebox with custom playlists is nice, but it may need some more tweaking to be perfect. No shuffle button, but hey, little things. And downloading the patch was easy! I got it in ...

Eve Incarna

While CCP says that ambulation is something they're not quite ready to work on, I'm sure that Dust-514 is leading quickly to it. As a matter of fact, last month they released this teaser trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNWWxD-q-bg I KNEW it! Matrix-esque fluid suspension! I'm a bit surprised...

Re: A Sacrifice for Colossus

First of all, sorry about the wording but I couldn't think of anything better, and I did type this at 3 or 4 AM. I've been reading a lot of the Eve Chronicles, fluff and backstory stuff. Blame that. IMO it sounds faith based on the hero’s part, I suppose if you added “like many great warriors have s...

A Sacrifice for Colossus

On a distant battlefield, an army gathers. Not to protect, but to destroy. Not for freedom, but for enslavement and pillage. Those they threaten cry out in terror, desperately seeking a savior. The call goes out for a sacrifice, to awaken the sleeping colossus, the avatar of justice. I calmly stride...

Re: Lets cry over trees!

Wow.....just.....thank you. Thank you for dropping my faith in humanity another notch. At this point, I'm strongly inclined to agree with the Trees.

Re: Bad news on swine influenza A (H1N1). Help to survive!

Not only am I prepared, I have about 3 or 4 plans based on local conditions, and a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide. As for the quiz, Z+. Nuclear Holocaust to take me it, according to that. I'm not THAT optimistic, but at least the programmer thinks I have a great shot at surviving the upcoming apo...

Re: Rights of Land to Sustain Life

I'd have to agree with his opinions. Charity, simply giving away money, is not a bad thing but it isn't the best thing we can do. It seems to me that he is of a mind that the most efficient form of philanthropy would be to provide jobs, of some sort, for the poor unemployed who are willing to work. ...

Re: Saying Hello!

Leverage. Kushan was going to run anyways, I just gave him a way out without having to get run down/killed for treason/cowardice. Attempting to betray me would most likely end badly for him as well. Plus, I think he'd rather have that nice acceptable stabbed by a traitor excuse than being hanged for...

Re: Saying Hello!

See, this is all very simple. I wait for Kushan to run, then stab him in the leg. I toss the dagger aside, claim we have a traitor, point to a random person I do not know/like, and then carry Kushan away from the battlefield claiming to be staunching the blood flow of a lethal wound. Say a few inspi...

Re: Ethics

Some interesting questions, and a lot of them make sense, given today's technological advancements and recent medical issues. Good luck with that paper Red.

As for discussion, if anyone wants to know my answers and reasons for a particular question, just ask.

Re: Greetings and profits!

Yeah, that's common knowledge. However there's a loophole where cancerous (non-malignant, untreatable) members such as myself are considered to be extensions of current members (non-foreign growths), and therefore are grandfathered into the corporation. In other words, you're stuck with me. :twisted:
