Well, if you're ever besieged by humans, they'll all turn on you. Otherwise, go ahead, ransack away.

« on: June 07, 2010, 09:40:08 am »If he is so omnipotent why didnt he just snap his fingers and create the whole universe as he saw fit?
Because it's a creation story, and that would have been boring. Creation stories are supposed to be interesting.

« on: June 07, 2010, 09:38:17 am »yeah ok, I was exaggerating for effect, but there were many instances of people being arrested and put in guantanamo without trial for basically nothing.
Technically, they were arrested for being brown and having thick beards. Otherwise you were spot on.

Uh huh. And tell me, how much do you learn, logged on here, or playing Dwarf Fortress? How much are you "improving yourself"?
How are you supposed to change the world, armchair jesus?
Basically, what I'm saying here is: citation needed.
EDIT: So from what I've seen, it looks like the site you linked is for loonies who have the silly idea that people should be purely rational. Which is patently idiotic.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Armor Basics
« on: June 07, 2010, 09:31:54 am »It kinda is. See the quote in my sig for an example. (The guy is talking about wearing chain under a breastplate).
That explains all the one-armed dwarves in my military! I was just thinking it was part of the gig and assigning them service animals (War dogs) to make up for the missing appendages. Even with one arm ol' Urist McLengedaryplusfiveaxedwarf can Ginsu himself a whole siege worth of trolls.
That's probably one of the best things about 2010 - the fixing of phantom pain makes badass crippled people possible.

Huh.
You know, god guy? Fuck off. Get off the internet, get out of school, and join the salvation army, because right now, your flimsy attempts at self-justification just come off as those of an armchair Jesus with more good ideas than actual will or capability to help.

« on: June 07, 2010, 09:19:53 am »Also also note: The USA under the bush administration pretty much arrested anyone with brown skin as a terrorist and threw them in guantanamo or whever else they were holding 'terrorists' without a trial.
That's an unfair generalization. They didn't arrest me or anyone I know, for example.

If you're going to do something like this, also start working out. Because someone's eventually going to try and kick your ass.

« on: June 07, 2010, 09:07:45 am »You and your silly idioms.It's easier than arguing with people who believe in something that patently isn't true.
Yeah. God clearly created the world in seven days. The lazing about on the seventh was an integral part of the process.

« on: June 07, 2010, 09:04:56 am »And what is China going to do? Stop trading with on of their largest export clients?
Yes, and then explode the shit out of them.
That doesn't make sense, but it would be cool as all hell.

DF General Discussion / Re: Note on some utilities
« on: June 07, 2010, 02:12:27 am »I think the community would like more verbose information on the infractions, as this seems out of character for our beloved Toadyone.
Out of character would be more like posting their email addresses so people could harass them. This seems like the Toady we all know, except angry.
Speaking of which, have you been able to mitigate the damage they've done, Toady? After all, banning them from the forum won't reverse the fact that they've essentially stolen bits of your code.

« on: June 07, 2010, 02:06:22 am »deathrow prisoners aren't actually well known for doing crazy shit AFTER they end up in death row
Really? Well, I do know that those with life-sentences will do crazy shit. As they are essentially sentenced to a more long-term death penalty, I think my analogy still applies.
Yeah, citation needed.
