Congratulations!

I think "shitty" damage came pretty naturally considering the dude thought of it while pronouncing 'city' with food in his mouth.

...just throwin' that out there. No need to be caustic about people having fun.

I don't get why the dude craps his pants over the notion of powerful people being above the flux of common society's laws and rules...[br][br]...that's the case now, except instead of casting planar binding or invisibility people just use their "throw money at it until it works they way you wan...

Good post Jack, very interesting read on the insights of the mmo dev/production world.

Heh, neither side really wants to relent and at this point you guys are just going back in circles. Really, RC, you're viewing the overly negative traits of socialism and basically dismissing any possibilities at success. You're more or less saying all rolls of the d20 are landing on 5 or less, and ...

Yeah - I'm no fan of Capitalism and am closer to Frank's side, but even if I were to simply "play ball" with the current flow - this system blows.[br][br]Hell, it's not even full capitalism... (can I get that 20% of my earnings back please? no? Well can you at least cover my medical bills?...

I just noticed someone referenced USSR era Russia as 'communist' .... Misnomer - The USSR was not a Communist union.

[br]Well, if it's your company, whether you're a worker or investor, you want money out of it. I mean hell, most people don't work just cause they enjoy it, they work for money. And more money is better. [br][br]You missed it - that's the distinction between capitalism and socialism. The idea that ...

Why would you pursue a goal other than profit? [br][br]...you serious dude? You honestly there's no thing a giant powerful entity has to value other than money? You don't think that maybe they should value, oh I don't know sayyyyyyyy humans ?[br][br]I don't work hard at my horrible job because I th...

I agree with what you said - though I suppose we could define Anarchy in a billion different ways (much similar to how Chaos works in d&d I guess...), being as such - it's just a matter of interpretation.

By that definition I suppose so - yes, I'd agree. Guess it really depends on how we define government (and its forms (or lack) there of).

ehhhh I wouldn't say no community...[br][br]3. a theory that regards the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society.[br][br]If indeed the proletaria...

That is basically what I would mean by it - though I'm curious as to how the two approach that matter.

regardless of their answer, I'll still be of a positive opinion of both.

Hey frank/crissa, what would you say if I said true communism = anarchy? (and meant it as a GOOD thing)

Yeah - Hellsing was definitely pretty nifty, dubbed or subbed.

I remember watching Gungrave and practically cracking up everytime someone said "BURANDONNN HEATUUU" or "BIGUU DAHHDEEE", those were just a weeeeee bit over the top.

The translation/dub/sub thing makes a huge difference to me, as lame as that may sound. I've been accused of trying to sound like some kind of originalist or whatever, but I honestly do enjoy hearing the japanese voices that actually fit the role of the character and reading english subs than hearin...

1171348756[/unixtime]]So you're saying D&D is sex? [br][br]A new level of nerdiness has been achieved, hahaha. Two things that are usually construed as polar opposites... the same! Truly, tis the win.rar. [br][br]I don't believe the "crappy" books are sold simply for profit and stupid...
