The Flood / Re: A simple survey about this forum
« on: September 30, 2014, 06:03:57 AM »
At first I'd check both here and B.Net about equally. But activity here has risen, while B.net had the same old shit time and time again.


A factor in this would probably be when Israel and Palestine kicked off again. In B.Net, there was fuck all about it, while here it was a flurry of discussion, debate and arguments.


I think this month I may have checked B.Net twice, 3 times max. Here I'm on daily, hourly when I'm at home.

Is this the season that continues from them being stuck in a train carriage, or have I missed a season?


Either way, can't wait. Gotta find another proxy site though...

Serious / Re: Depression in school/work
« on: September 29, 2014, 06:59:56 PM »
I wouldn't say I've ever been depressed. Melancholic maybe, bitter at other times.


For me I got 7A's in GCSE which is not super fantastic but it's better than good for most people. Then A Levels (specifically Physics...gah fuck the equations and laws you have to remember) kicked me in the shin and coupled with no enthusiasm to work, it just piled up and I fell behind. I ended up with 3 C's at A level and a D in AS, which frankly I've no idea how I got into my course on those grades.Not terrible, but I'm not exactly happy about them either.

lel Irish plays too much TES


I've never even played the damned thing. Only ever played Skyrim, figured out the rest through interest and checking up on the wiki.


And seriously it wasn't a slip of the mind on my part, my teacher's TAUGHT (or rather, drilled it in) me this.

Just searched it, doesn't seem to be an A.K.A. of Reichskonkordat, though my History teachers (multiple) and the examining board specifications explicitly mention it as the same thing.

What kind of History Class would bring up the White-Gold concordant?


One that obviously didn't check it out and confused it with the actual historical name, and then no-one else questioning it, now I feel retarded (._.) . Just checked out with my friends still in school; they still haven't realised, so I'mma have to tell teacher so they can take it up with the idiots at WJEC.

White-Gold Concordat
LOL WAT
Yes, I know, same sorta thing as TES. Does kinda put another perspective on the Elves as TES' form of Nazis :L
I refuse to believe that's a thing. Link me.
Hmm... I think my A-Level and GCSE history teachers might have failed me here. (And maybe even the courses themselves... :S).

Well, fuck me. My school's education and the WJEC board have failed me in this respect, it seems. I'd actually better tell them :L.

I'd agree you shouldn't judge a religion by it's fundamentalists; just judge the fundamentalists by their actions, and the same for religions, or anything else in general.


Also, while the Catholic church apologized to the Jews in 1965, it took them another 30 years to admit they "probably didn't do enough" to oppose the Nazis, depsite their potential to be an immense threat to them during their rise to power with 1/3 of Germany being Catholic and the Pope being a very significant figure (Hell, hey they were happy to sign the White-Gold Concordat non-intervention pact of '36 with them...).

It seems to be an effort to forcefully get them into jobs (how he'll get them to work min. wage shite jobs I've no idea, but here's being hopeful...)


Combine this with their plans to take 20% off the cost of new housing for ("hard working" - D.C.) under-40's, their certainly trying to use incentives to get people off dole and out of their mum's house.


But in a wider discussion, I find it odd that the government hands out welfare pay to people who ended up there in various ways (down on their luck, lack of jobs in their profession, outsourcing, or really fucking stupid and/or lazy) in direct cash. Why not food vouchers (and not for TV dinners, for actual ingredients to make meals which is way healthier and cheaper), rather than it being abused to be spent on useless stuff which doesn't count as aiding in "welfare". Books? Yes, aiding literacy (amazing that a small minority of grown people can't read in the UK!), and depending on the subject, broadening their minds or educating them. A 50-inch Plasma TV? HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT COUNT AS WELFARE?!


Spoiler
Although this may be considered very harsh, perhaps even a conservative mindset, why don't we treat some who are on welfare like children, seeing as many aren't capable, or don't wish to escape from a dull and frankly shit lifestyle of highly opinionated thick bastards who get fat eating junk food and watch TV all day. /rant

« on: September 29, 2014, 12:32:57 PM »
Should've seen the Reich Churches...Highly modified protestant religion with the bible replaced with Mein Kampf. Purely to get more support for him and his party however, though I heard they made "alternate" religions similar to paganism to cater to a small minority in Germany.


Plus he(/the Nazis collectively) completely fucked up the education system, making them all mindless grunts. He wasn't really concerned with the long term future of the country, he was concerned with the war going on and all that stood in his way of an Aryan Empire.

And good on you for maintaining responsibility of care for the children. That is seriously hard shit to do considering the larger problem atm.

Serious / Re: Name one thing atheists can do that religious people can't
« on: September 29, 2014, 02:18:43 AM »
Atheists don't have to care about a religion. I can also say "All religions are total bollocks" and not be hypocritical, not being religious myself.


Also if we're bunching them all up:


Can eat pork, shellfish, meat with milk, eat cows, eat meat on Sundays, etc...
Drink beer, use technology, marry multiple women or just fuck lots of them, have contraceptive sex, be gay/lesbian, etc...




Pretty much anything a religion limits specifically, I can do. I'm limited by my own morals and laws, whereas you (assuming religious OP) have to also abide by the rules of whatever religion.

Gaming / Re: Zero Punctuation reviews Destiny
« on: September 28, 2014, 06:46:53 PM »
Seems spot on. And this was all from the Demo.


It seems to me like a lesser version of Borderlands. Sure, that too can be a grind but there's more variety in the main and side missions, and the random loot stuff is glitzed up to the max. (Plus always-on isn't really required while still revolving around co-op play)

Comparing Destiny to Borderlands is like comparing Resident Evil Extinction to Zombieland


It seemed similar to me, just like a posher yet boring version of Borderlands. No crazy gib-tacular violence and the like.

Other than the JFK thing, I can't think of any.


I believe in alien life existing, but nothing along the lines of things like Roswell or the supposed "alien coverups". I mean, NASA atm is looking for evidence of life on Mars, I'm sure by now whatevever top-secret organisation that would be involved in that sorta thing would have slipped it to them that there's little green/grey men visiting Earth by now.

The Flood / Re: What's your ethnic background?
« on: September 28, 2014, 05:04:33 PM »
Irish, with my father coming from two prominent Irish families in the South West, O'Donnell and O'Mahney(Might have misspelt, can't be certain), and my mother's side being North Welsh with the common last name of Williams.


Despite both families preceding me staying Irish/Welsh (making me 50/50), I still consider to myself to be Irish, as I was born there, bear an Irish name, have the accent and lived there for a large portion of my life.

Two, but frankly I don't give a fuck what people decide to assign themselves so long as they are happy with it.


It doesn't concern me as I'm not them, and they shouldn't concern themselves with my stance on the subject because they are not me. Does that make sense?

Easy. Carefully place pizza on floor, drop-kick the penguin, pick up pizza and eat.

I wouldn't say so, at least in the West (but then the "sudden growth" of Middle Eastern fundamentalists could be due to post 9/11 media focusing on any terrorist activity heavily, so it honestly could be either-or)

« on: September 28, 2014, 09:37:57 AM »
I'm stuck on doing packets, or rather I look at them and procrastinate. I've been told by everyone to finish them but when I start reading anything my brain just shuts off and often I forget everything. I could be finished with Highschool next week (Should have finished over a year ago) but I just can't get myself to do it. I sat down for 3 hours and only finished 3 pages of reading. How do you deal with issues when reading? Especially when you have to write essays about the content? (English Packets).


You might have ADD/ADHD.

Hehe yeah I know of it >_>

It always felt dirty to use, a bit like the M26 and the USAS.
I think it's fine to use, seeing as it wasn't like that when the game first came out (and could actually kill people...).


I only pull it out when a tank is surrounded by infantry so I couldn't C4 it, or a nooby mortarman tries to rut out defensive lines.

I shit on assaults with AS VAL.

L96 Stronk, L96 drill skull tunnels in all puny non-wookie lifeforms.

The VAL is fucking brilliant though, easily my favourite cogboy gun.


The VAL is the best gun there.


There is also a glitch (IT'S STILL THERE TO THIS DAY) on BF3 where because of the built in suppressor, it "suppressed" the mortar for the support guy. No easy-to-kill mortar man, and it's great for counter mortaring because you could shoot at them and they wouldn't find you!

Just under once a year. Mine was last cut in...January or December I think.


So by the end, I have 70's hair reminiscent of one of the Beegees, then a day later I'm almost as bald as an egg (I don't really have a "style" for my hair. I grow it 'til it's long, then cut it until it's short again)

Serious / Re: Are mentally ill people morally responsible?
« on: September 27, 2014, 01:22:00 PM »
No, although I'm assuming severely mentally ill, being capable of thinking "this is bad and/or weird, I shouldn't be doing this" and doing it anyway would constitute responsibility for the action.


But this brings up a problem, now that Mr P. has brought up psychos. Mentally Ill = not responsible. But what about murdering Psychopaths? If they lack empathy because of how they were born/raised (both through no fault of their own),  I would consider them to be too, not responsible for a criminal actions such as murder...or putting a cat in a microwave. By all means a psychopath should be categorized under mentally ill as they didn't choose to lack empathy; that is what a true criminal would do.
