Wait what? Did you mod something? Normally punches bruise and break limbs, to chop them off you need SLASH/GORE type of damage.

Do GCS's have [SEVERONBREAKS]? That could be it.

Despite only reading the first post, I have this to add.

Aw yeah. That shit be real.

The "scientology illustrated" section is hilarious.

Well, France is incredibly secular.

They just don't like religion over there.

But I get your point. Individual liberty is at risk any time the government steps in to regulate something it should rightly be separate from.

Definitely. They don't like religion. I don't like the KKK, but if I try to legislate against them because I don't like their opinions, I'm worse than they are.

This is what G-Flex was talking about though. With the KKK, for example, their opinions and their activities are inextricable from each other. Racism that profound goes hand in hand with violence against other races. When opinions lead directly to violence, shouldn't something be done about the holders of those opinions?

Not really. A lot of people believe in a lot of crazy things. It doesn't mean they're going to act upon them so harshly.

I subscribe to essentially the status quo regarding that in the US: It's legal to gather and talk and say things, even hurtful things, as long as you aren't actually inciting violence. The minute you incite people to violence, you get busted.

But sometimes people take too neutral a stand regarding this. There are hints of aggression and anger that go unnoticed or if noticed, aren't acted on.

Granted it's literally impossible (also unethical) to go around and police every single conversation that happens. Peacekeeping has to be reactionary. I've never seen an attempt at "preemptive peacekeeping".

Bronze Colossi don't exist in my worlds anymore. They keep getting killed off by their replacement.
Namely, the 4-armed, flying Adamantine Colossus. With size 50. That doesn't sever on breaks.
I've been making more bad decisions. At least this isn't the worst.

Uh, anyway. I don't have any DF-related images drawn up, but if I happen to in the future, I'll drop them here.

You should add BC's as semi-megas, that way they still get to muck around (though they'll outclass Cyclopes and Minotaurs by far  )

First, look at a buddhist monk, and a farmer, who would you trust with your money, second, the religious people are trusted because all the people go to them for confessions, now, who would you think is a pedophile, a stalker, or The Pope?

Also I don't think the Pope is a pedophile. I just don't like the current one as much as John Paul II.

Are you the one who planned this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvBD3efXxb0

Woah, what? Now I'm planning assassinations all of a sudden?

Anyway, everyone knows that Pope Benedict XVI can't be assassinated. He'll stop you with his force lightning.

I'm more terrorfied that religous workers are the most trusted.

Oh wait, what do they worship on the other side of the globe? That might have something to do with it.

Um, priests aren't as pedophilic in asia. That's a uniquely western problem.

PRIESTS ARE PEDOPHILIC?!

I take offense to your generalization. Not because I'm a priest, but because nothing is absolute. What if someone said that pedophilia was a uniquely "people who use forums names that start with a V" problem?

Weeelll, I did say that they weren't as pedophilic.

Also women are less likely to display pedophilic tendencies! (Yes, yes, that's another generalization).

Some of our (Asian) priests like money, though. Lots of it.

The problem there is that people assume that the (Catholic) priesthood makes people into pedophiles. It doesn't. But pedophiles see the priesthood as an avenue to accessing their targets.

While my generalization is unfair, well...

I do remember reading plenty of horror stories about New England priests.

It's called noodling.  It's illegal in a number of states in the US for some reason or other.

i'd say it's the fact that to catch a fish, you use your arm as bait.

maybe its a safety reason? i dunno, but if you're catching fish that big theres a risk that you could get dragged under if you're a bit on the small size/ on uneven footing, that and that you could get severely bitten depending on the local fish

In DF, "Local Fish" = Carp. Carp = Death.
