In Obama's words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdKmpQJ3CBE

The Barbarian swings his Greataxe all day long, and the Wizard slings Fireballs all day long. The 3.x Barbarian has a severely limited number of times per day that he can rage. Additionally, the number of times he can swing his greataxe is limited by his hit points (And many other things, instead o...

Depending upon your definition of "fired." The chef was repositioned and had her job title changed. She still prepared food.

Unfortunately, the lies work. What percentage of people believe Obama is a Muslim? I forget the exact number, but it is unbelievably high. Most people don't pay attention, so spam (all forms) works. Some people think "Hmmm, I heard a lot of bad stuff about Obama, like x, y, z. I don't remember ...

Although I am not married, I actually have some important advice: You should both know what the other expects of the marriage. If you don't talk about this now, you will end up in a position where you both assumed something different on how to handle a situation, and a shitstorm will ensue. For exam...

Well I would personally point to the part that you yourself quoted that says: "declaring yourself willing is a free action that can be taken at any time." As yet another example of each of your arguments contradicting all your previous ones. First off, I can find no post where I said what...

...the blatant lies... Yeah. I was halfway counting them after a few, and he made at least half a dozen provably false statements. Would it be possible for you to post a transcript? It would be much easier to dissect. ...rather than sitting and asking pretty questions like Charlie Gibson Even so, s...

I used to play Team Fortress 2. I don't currently have a computer system that can handle it though.

In my opinion when you have a team that communicates/works together, the game is fantastic.

My preferred classes are Spy, Demoman, and Engineer.

Frank, I will try to explain this again: -'Willing’ is a state of being, there is no action taking place, it is an adjective that describes a creature. -’Forego’ is an action, it is not a state of being, it is a verb. The same is true for the word ‘accept.’ So, you are arguing that being in a ‘willi...

Because in the end (and this is not a bash on any one particular country, we do this in the United States as well) our decisions on foreign leaders is based mostly on personality. Most foreign leaders speak a different language, and the exposure they get to American audiences are likely clips less ...

What other new/strange/obscure environmentally friendly solutions are now being used or developed? What are their advantages/disadvantages?

I guess it would be. But I cannot find any other rules that address it.

The fact that there exist spells that can only affect willing targets proves that "willing" is a technical piece of game terminology. It is a term used in the mechanics of the game. But it isn't defined anywhere. In fact, that's what the argument is about in the first place, unless I am q...

There is also nothing in that sentence that defines the meaning of "unconscious creatures," "conscious," "immobile," "helpless," "bound," "cowering," "grappling," "paralyzed," "pinned," "stunned," or...

Similarly, "considered willing" in sentence 3, if we are parsing by the normal rules of grammar, does not mean "considered willing only for purposes alluded to in a nearby sentence", it means "considered willing, with everything that entails." Ok. So what does that ent...

No. At no point does it ever make the distinction that any of that consideration is only for one purpose or another. False. 1. Some spells restrict you to willing targets only. 2. Declaring yourself as a willing target is something that can be done at any time (even if you’re flat-footed or it isn’...

You can't be willing and unwilling. And the fact that some effects explicitly talk about you being willing in one or more specific contexts in no way eliminates the willing state for the purposes of other effects that care. You are not willing while unconscious. You are only considered willing for ...

I've seen that page. I'm reading it right now. It doesn't say "unconscious creatures are considered willing for the purposes of these spells." It just says that unconscious creatures are considered willing. Period. No qualifiers. The third sentence is continuing to describe the subset of ...

The best part of that is the hypocrisy. The Bush administration forbade the press from taking photographs of caskets coming home from the war (violating constitutional rights). Even when the families wanted the press there. So the Republican moral of the story is: -It is Just to violate the constitu...

Frank, I notice you didn't make counterarguments against any of my factual statements. You just listed this, and took a specific sentence out of context: Taking a non-action to declare yourself willing for a specific spell makes you willing (p. 177). Being unconscious makes you willing (p. 175). Bei...

Incorporeal creatures cannot make trip or grapple attacks, nor can they be tripped or grappled. In fact, they cannot take any physical action that would move or manipulate an opponent or its equipment, nor are they subject to such actions. The second sentence seems to include Bull rushes. Ghost Tou...

I don't really see how spells are better than melee attacks on CdG. There are tons of reasons why you might want to subdue a foe and not kill them. For all these purposes, spells are better. There are also situations where you couldn't effectively get a melee attack off, but you could get into spel...

Sphere's reading requires us to believe that being a willing target is somehow different from being a target who willingly accepts a spell, which is patently ridiculous. It is actually not. There are definite differences as defined by different spells. Look at the Animal Shapes and Charm Person spe...
