Right, if you're going to force people to vote you're going to have to force them to know what the hell is going on if you want any good to come out of it.

Eh? Koumei hasn't revealed her taste in music.[br][br]Personally I'm kind of weird when it comes to music. I'm into Death Metal, Folk Music, Irish/Celtic Music, old-timey 20s/30s/40s/50s music, Praise and Worship Music, Opera, Classical, pre-90s country music, pre-90s rap music, alternative/progress...

I remember you mentioning a cowriter for Shadowrun's Street Magic, where he made a different set of rules for the bug spirits, not using the task spirits for the job because he wanted them to be 'differ...

Cool, glad to help.

I don't think I understand that meme.

1195949389[/unixtime]]So if freedom and slavery mean nothing, then how exactly can we declare "Forcing someone to work for you against their will, and beating them with a stick, is wrong."? [br]That's slavery as a specific term, which has a specific meaning, slavery as a broad philosophic...

Count_Arioch_the_28th at [unixtime wrote:1195943700[/unixtime]]I'm no philosophy expert, but if everyone was a slave, wouldn't that make the term meaningless?

Yes. It would also make true freedom impossible. Both are ultimately meaningless.

If you do your best to be emo they'll slowly go away.

I don't think addicts really want the thing they are addicted to, just that they are driven to it by their addiction. The thing they're addicted to may very well may them miserable.

Personal Freedom [br][br]Everyone's a slave to something, be it your responsibilities, your habits, your god, your desires, your emotions, your government, your preconceptions, or, the classic, another person.[br][br]Unless of course Buddhism is your bag and you yearn for non-existence(in which cas...

Being emo isn't about being depressed, that's more goth, being emo is about being the absolute biggest waste of space you can possibly be and having no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Lies!

Any reason not to make it a free action?

Just for the record, I don't support Mormonism and think that at the very least it is one of the more bat-shit insane religions out there. Even if Mormonism wasn't so...let's say "off"...I still wouldn't support it as a general rule; I'm against the breaking up of the Church into sects, it...

I've come to understand that declaring yourself a satanist basically means you fully embrace and revel in the human condition in all its vile, petty glory. Is this near the truth?

I think I could get behind a law that incurs fines for not voting if it had a rider that forces you to fulfill some sort of current political education minimum or incur a heavier fine.

1195817308[/unixtime]]Frank, I'd be very interested in some facts to back up your claims. I have yet to see you make a non-informed claim but you start sounding like a zealot yourself. Facts please. [br]Frank is more than willing to dance on the very edge of truth and make facts bend almost to the ...

Not that I disagree, but I'd like to hear the reasoning behind this.

Exersise is an awesome thing to do to yourself.

People come and go but the conglomerate endures, snowballing more people until enacted upon by external forces. [br]Yeah I k...

Thank you.

Megatokyo is apparently one of the more famous web comics, but I've never looked at it; anyone mind enlightening me concerning what it's about?

I was saying if a mech gets knocked down to, say, -10 energy they could not do anything at all, nor would a mech be able to take any action that would leave them with less than -10 energy. So if you hit a target hard enough they won't have enough energy left over to knock you down to 0 or less. Ther...

Reckless attack is more powerful than power attack IMO. This is because of the effects that incur miss chance and how relatively easy they are to get, not to mention immediate action abilities that could get you out of danger or negate enemy attacks, or even the very real chance that you will reckle...

Yeah, that's trumpets.
