Gaming / Re: DICE I swear to Allah/Shrek/The Omnissiah...
« on: September 27, 2014, 01:40:36 PM »
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!

The Flood / Re: How often do you get your haircut?
« on: September 27, 2014, 01:25:46 PM »
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.

We have a spooky skeleton among us


And then the Flood/Densicles found out too. Double spooky scary skeleton.

Yes. Especially when you realise none of the politcal systems are perfect and have serious drawbacks...but then again, I'd be hard pressed to find a better replacement to any of them right now, other than the odd policy change here an there.


And then it comes down to political parties (For democratic systems at least). There is not a single party that fully represents what I would stand for (Oh my! The curses of everybody being unique...), and even if there was, I seriously doubt how effective any they could be. IF they ever got elected, most of their policies would be strangled in red tape if they tried something a tad extreme, so then they're only limited to restricting and modifying policies from the last elected government, kinda like a neutral administration team for a country.


It's why we have the 3 "main" parties with maybe 1 or 2 upstarters (that would be UKIP), rather than a crazy uber-democratic system like Weimar Germany where you had extremes of both sides, then moderates, then the odd mix 'n' match parties with various standpoints, where nobody got into power because there was too much choice. Then fuck all happens which certainly isn't any better.


I'd almost go as far to say in the short-term, politics is stagnation. Only when the system fucks up, is abused, or total riot does change happen which in most cases has been positive in the long run. (See: Political Reform of the 19thC, Hitler's rise to power or any successful Revolution).

They'd probably be a boom in the entertainment and literature industry. And probably porn. And culture might gain a little bit.


Maybe stuff like community and family would be a more important and valued thing because now they'd have so much time doing fuck all.

5"9'


Not enough experience to tell if it's had an impact. My last and only gf was the same height as me which tbh was nice.


Then again, the fact I've only had one gf might be an effect in itself...

« on: September 26, 2014, 11:49:02 AM »
I always thought Cardiff would be a pretty nice city


Sounds like you went there and saw the opposite.


For a city I find it relatively quiet to most, which is appealing as otherwise my shyness and the masses of people would have kept me indoors too often.

Serious / Re: Should women in the US have to sign up for the draft?
« on: September 26, 2014, 11:37:40 AM »
If you want equality you could have it either way as everyone has already discussed (all or none).


But if you were to draft women as well, what role would they be best suited. Comparing a perfectly physical fit man and woman is completely unfair considering both sexes' physical limits are different with men's being higher, making their physical strength the military's "default".


In previous news that they were to allow women in frontline combat roles, they stated that the requirements for them to join would be lower. Now, regardless of the best efforts of a woman, they will be a lower standard to men in the military, and therefore not as good. This isn't being sexist, it's plain fact.


So a role for women in the military could be put to use in any situation where strength isn't absolutely neccesary, i.e. Armour, Transport, Operations/Admin/(whatever the official title is of "mission planner"), support roles, etc. whilst men continue to take the roles where strength is a priority.

I don't like either; but at some points dubstep can be acceptable.


See the MLG videos, they'd be shite if they had Death Metal instead.

It seems inevitable, but preventable. We can't have a repeat of what happened before where some (Danish?) UN troops were under equipped when one ethnic group came into a town with tanks and massacred everyone (I can't recall the name of said massacre, will update if I find it), and left the troops completely powerless.

« on: September 26, 2014, 06:17:00 AM »
18.


Regardless of the law, people waaaay under will drink anyway. I'd be surprised if someone's first drink was when they were legally allowed to.

Nah. The Welsh hate the Scots for having the referendum on independence.


Huh? You're thinking of the Welsh and English, as it's pretty quiet here regarding Scotland. If anything, it's made people here more supportive of Independence, or at least for more power to the Welsh Assembly.

Serious / Re: Dad Forces Son to Drink Alcohol until Unconcious with No Pulse
« on: September 18, 2014, 11:18:00 AM »
What the fuck.


That guy didn't make his son learn (other than that his Dad is an irresponsible prick), and he seriously needs to learn about the delayed but strong effects of vodka. He probably gave him all the shots in one go which would have left him fine for about 20 minutes.


And I'm not certain on how much alcohol is depended on for social stuff in America, but that's seriously not going to help the kid later on when he's legal to drink. If my first time drinking nearly killed me, I certainly wouldn't go near the stuff, even if Britain's whole social structure revolves around it.

Tea, all the tea.


Chai, Lapsang Suchong (?) and Wu-long teas are nice.


But whatever they put in those brand ones (Tetley, PG Tips, etc) are good too.

I don't know, but if Scotland does leave the UK, they better remove the blue and put a green bar across the bottom of the Union Jack or Wales is going to throw a fit.
Like this?




Pretty much this. Maybe a red hand in the center to represent Ulster/NI, but that's what I'm expecting. Who knows, maybe Wales will have a referendum too if they don't get green on the flag.

I could see this being potentially being not as bad as it sounds.


Yes, what he responded with wasn't very professional (or very smart as a Dr.), but it seems almost like he wasn't taking her seriously in the first place. Might have been said as a bad joke.


Still, he deserves what he gets for saying it. While they probably wouldn't take away his (license to be a Doctor?), his reputation as one is going to be tarnished pretty badly.

And my personal favourite;

I'd count it as manslaughter.


Sure, they are a fucking idiot for driving while drunk, but it doesn't ignore the fact they didn't go out to kill someone. They wanted to get home, and made a really big fucking mistake.

Serious / Re: Exploiting people while drunk
« on: September 18, 2014, 07:18:47 AM »
Both are at fault. The drunk for getting so intoxicated they are incapable of stopping something they don't want (in the case of rape or a tattoo), and the exploiter for taking advantage of said drunk's intoxication to make them do something they wouldn't do otherwise.


However, in a perfect world I should be able to get as drunk as I want without fear of being exploited, so I'd place further blame on the exploiter than a drunk.(Especially seeing as much of what the exploiters are trying to do is illegal anyway.)


EDIT: A good similarity would be exploiting a disabled person. If you exploited them, you'd be at fault, whereas a drunk person can still have some of the blame if exploited because they chose to mentally/physically impede themselves with alcohol in the first place.
